Before you read. I just wanted to let you all know that next week the 2K special will be out. To give people one more week of voting.

( Your P.O.V. )

   " Time's up little fighter."

I nodded and didn't move. I got ready to grab my sword.

   " You know your answer?"

   " I do."

   " Then tell me. I would do it before your friends get here."

My eyes widened and I looked behind me to see them climbing the mountain. I turned back to the demon warlock.

   " My answer is no. I don't want your deal."

   " Such a shame. I thought you were smarter than that."

   " You'll just use my curse and power on others and make their lives terrible. Better to help them."

   " Little fighter you will fall fighting."

I brought my sword out in time and blocked his sword. He was putting a great amount of strength in his blow. I almost lost my balance. I Pushed his sword off and spun around him. I was about to lash at his back when he turned around and blocked it.

   " I see you're not using your power. Why don't you use it?"

   " Cause I know you want it."

I spun and his sword hit rock. My back was to the entrance of the cave while his back was to me.

   " Y/n!"

I turned around to see Travis. He was the first one up the mountain. I heard a dark chuckle and turned back towards the warlock.

   " Good to see you son."

   " Shut it!"

I looked back towards Travis to see that his skin was a grey color while his eyes turned purple and black horns on his head. He had his sword out and ready. Then I felt a searing pain in my arm. I turned and slashed at what was the demon warlock. He had slashed at my arm while I was distracted. I noticed that I was able to cut him as well. His chest was bleeding a little.

   " A cut for a cut." I said.

His head came up and his eyes and mine connected. They held anger inside of them.

   " You don't know what you've just done little fighter."

The next thing I know my legs are gone from under me. I block his strike before it could reach my neck. I pushed as hard as I could. I kicked him in the stomach and pushed him off of me. I transformed into my other form and aimed my bow at him. He stood up with a grin on his face. I let go of the arrow and it hit him in the chest. I kept firing one after the other and eventually I pulled my sword out and kicked him in the side sending him to the wall.

   " Beautiful is it not?"

   " Evil is what it is. I have a curse that came with it."

   " That's why it's so beautiful. It's so powerful and destructive."

   " That's why it's evil."

   " You know I don't like this fighting scenario."

   " Live with it."

I charged at him ready to end him when he grabbed my arm and pulled me close.

   " Let's change it."

Then I heard Travis scream. The next thing I know is that I'm falling. Then I hit the muddy ground. I stood up quickly and aimed an arrow. I couldn't see him anywhere. I heard a chuckle and I closed my eyes. I was shaking. I took a deep breath and focused on my hearing. I heard nothing but the rain. Then I heard footsteps. I aimed and fired at the person. When I opened my eyes I saw that it was the warlock himself. With an arrow in his chest.

   " I win."

I ran at him and slashed my sword at him ending him for good hopefully.

   " Wrong..." he said.

   " What?"

   " We both lose."

Then without another word he dissapeared. nothing left behind. Just a muddy figure print. I understood what he meant, but it still heart to hear those words. I transformed back into my regular self and fell on the muddy ground. Getting the dress stained. I tried to hold my tears in.

   " Y/n!"

   " Y/n!"

I didn't move, but I heard them calling for me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a pair of brown shoes running towards me. They sat on their knees and pulled my head up. It was Vylad.

   " Y/n are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?"

I just stared at him. A tear fell from my eye. I didn't say anything except...

   " I lost."
