(36) Cursed

I tried?

A Witch Banishes Jack into hell, Mark must rescue him before time is up.

Just a heads up, don't get involved with hexes and witches aaand, do NOT go into that one strange sparkley shop. Because I did and lost my partner due to it. It started on a cold winter evening, Snow lightly coating the pavement which was unusual for L.A in fact, I hadn't seen snow since I was two. I'm 26. I was holding my partners hand, his green hair in front of his ocean eyes, my red head in a beanie, I had offered it to him, but he insisted I kept myself warm. I miss him, I miss Jack. We were supposed to be getting groceries but he got distracted by a hot pink candy store and rightfully so, it was distracting. I gave in, walking into the shop to see a smiley old lady behind the counter, the shelves in the shop were plain but the jars that held multiple colourful sweets, that were almost hypnotic. I gave Jack a kiss on the cheek as he began to pick sweets. I wish I had noticed the disgusted look on the old ladies face. I wish I knew something was wrong.
-
Jack picked his sweets and we walked to the counter together. As he went to pay for them, the lady smiled. "Im sorry boys, I cant serve you." "Why not? We're paying costumers." Jack asked. That was the last time I heard him speak. "Because, You're sinning. You're, You're... gay." She said it as if it was complete blasphemy. It wasn't, it isn't. I argued, angrily and then everything happened so fast, a flash, an evil laugh, screams. I saw Jack knocked out on the floor, lifeless. "What have you done!?" I yelled, she laughed. "Prove you are worthy of such sin. I have taken his soul, you must return it within 72 hours. if you do so, you may continue this sin, if you don't well, he dies." She spoke so calmly, as if what she had just done was perfectly okay. How on earth is taking someones soul okay!?
-
I took Jacks lifeless body home and walked up and down the living room so much so that I was convinced I had left footprints inbeded into the carpet. Tell me, how do you get a soul back? I had no idea, so I began research - I never thought I'd be asking the dark part of the internet for help but here I was doing exactly that. I apparently, need to set up a portal. What the fuck kind of nightmare is this? Nonetheless, I did so. I had too, for Jack.
-
I followed instructions to summon this... portal. It worked, of course it did - Everything today seemed surreal. I walked through the portal, stumbling into another world, I assumed. Perhaps I had somehow taken mushrooms and this was my crazy trip. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't. I saw Jack, yet he was different and I began to chase him. I guess this was Jacks soul.
"Jack! Come back... please!" He kept running, why was he running?! I only had 41 hours left, spending half of them figuring out what to do. How do you prove to someone that you're worthy? Am I even worthy to myself?
-
You battle beasts apparently and crawl through literal hell. Jack was still running however I was hot on his trail, battling his demons it seemed. Maybe that's what he was running from, his demons that he hadn't fought himself yet. I tackled him, to which he panicked and squirmed. "Jack! Jack, it's just me. Please listen... I need you to let go. I need you to fight whatever past you have whatever demons you're scared of. Please." He covered his eyes, shaking. "I believe in you Jack! Defeat your demons so I can get you home. Prove your worth!." Jack, was worth everything. This seemed enough because he got up, and started to battle.
He took a beating however and it was hell watching him fight and feeling worthless, This was something he had to do and did. -.
A Flash, A Cliche "Nooo!",  Silence. 
I woke up, in the livingroom Jack asleep on the couch. What happened? Jack jolted awake, his breathing heavy. His green hair stuck to his forehead. "You...You saved me!" He sprang up, running into my arms. I hugged him, everything hitting me at once like a tornado meeting a volcano. I saved him. I got him back something I didn't think was possible but everything was at this point.
