Claire's P.O.V.

"We want YOU to be our leader, Claire," Jersey announced.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!" I shouted. How did they agree? And... "Why me?" Did I say that aloud?

"Took a while to find someone besides herself that Aera would agree on, but we managed," Serenity happily stated.

"You've been doing your best to keep us together and in harmony. That's why," Aera answered. She actually smiled! Is she... being nice? My eyes are tearing up...

"You guys..." I began. But then, someone ran up to us.

"Claire!" he began. It was Larry!

"Larry! What's wrong?!" I panicked.

"K-kill me now! I know who you are. I'm not who you think I am. Please... KILL ME BEFORE I TELL X AND CHRYSTA!!!" It's not true... Larry can't be!!! But he is...

"No!" I refused. "There has to be another way!"

"Just kill me! I am of no use but to serve my great ruler. That's what I am... I'm a Dark Knight!!!" Larry...

"There has to be some way to heal you!!!" I can't believe it! Larry was a Dark Knight this whole time!!!  There has to be some way to help him!!!
