Jack's POV

The flames licking my skin are slowly killing me, trust me, I know. But I have to find Jamie. The staircase has collapsed behind me, and the thick smoke is coating my throat. "Jamie!' I call, "Where are you!"

Part of the ceiling collapses and I duck, narrowly avoiding the burning timber. "Jack?" A weak voice calls out

"JAMIE!" I yell, "Where are you!"

'E-end room," he calls, "H-he.." His plea is interrupted by a vicious bought of coughing. I sprint to the end room, and throw open the door.

Jamie is curled up in a ball underneath his desk. His brown eyes are wide open with fear and he is shaking. "J-jack. I'm scared." He says.

I am instantly transported back to the lake, "I-I know. But your going to be all right. We're going to have a little fun." I walk over to the desk and kneel down.

His wide eyes look up at me, and I try to give an encouraging smile. He smiles back, and I offer my hand. He grabs it, and I pull him up.

That small movement gives way to another large bought of coughing, and I wince. I have to get him out right now. I look around, desperate to find something. The ceiling directly above us collapses, and Jamie screams. I shove him out of the way, and a burning support beam falls.

Jamie screams again, and I look at him, not understanding. He point as my stomach, and I look down. The burning support beams has lodged itself into my stomach. It went straight through me, and I can feel my energy beginning to fade.

The door is now blocked, and the only way out is a window. Without pausing to think, I run over to it, and throw it open. I run back, and grab Jamie. I run back over to the window, and throw Jamie out. I look out, and see the fireman, holding this tarp thing to catch Jamie. I let my adrenaline flow out, and I fall to my knees. Jamie is safe, that's all that matters. I hold onto that thought as the world goes dark around me.

Jamie's POV

As Jack throws me out the window, I know that I will never see him again. I watch, as I plummet to the Earth, his eyes grow dim, and he falls to his knees. "JACK!" I scream, "JACK!"

I hit a soft tarp thing, and bounce backwards. The tears fall freely from my face, and my heart is breaking. My best friend is dead.

"J.J!" Sophie's voice calls out. "You ok!" I stand up and dry my eyes, trying to put on a smile like… a friend did for me.

'Hey Soph, yea, I'm fine."

"Jackie! Where Jackie?" She asks, and it's like a knife is stabbed into my heart.

"Well Soph… he's gone…" I whisper. Her face scrunches up, trying to make sense of what I just said.

"So, he at pole?" She finally asks and a weak laugh escapes my lips.

"Not exactly… Sophie, Jack's dead. He died saving me.

She looks at me, stunned, and bursts into tears. Looking at her face reminds me that my best friend is dead. I begin to cry as well. We huddle into each other, spilling our grief into the other's shoulders. "Jack is gone. And nothing can bring him back, I whisper to myself."

Unknown POV

"Are you sure, little believer? Are you sure nothing can bring him back?" I ask. I draw the broken body out of the flames, and hide it from any mortal eyes. I begin to craft a new sprit. But, I must again take his memories. He would not do well in the world if he is knows he died a second time. He reaches in and pulls out the last baby tooth from the damaged sprit's mouth. "Are you sure?" I ask again.

A/N; So, there's the first chapter. If anyone can tell me who the unknown character is, they get a special appearance in this story. And… if it's not too much to ask for, do you think you could review? And sorry about the cliff next chapter will be up ASAP!
