Ellie could hear Stern's voice, echoing softly off the walls as the gang and Jesse ran. She ran but made sure her friends were ahead of her as, Benny was already flipping through his spell book and Jesse and Sarah were running slightly ahead with him. Benny's spell was heard over Stern's voice and Ellie inwardly sighed in relief. Reaching an open room, Sarah pulled Benny with her and Jesse followed. Ellie looked back and saw the purplish-blue hue of the spell coming after them, slowing her down. Returning her gaze back ahead of her, she saw that Benny was halfway finished with the spell, then she ran the fastest she had ever ran in her life.
"Ellie! Hurry!" Sarah yelled after her and she silently scolded herself for not working out. The purple hue had almost reached her so she took a chance and dove into the orb of protection Benny had created just as it closed. Lucky for her Jesse caught her as a purple hue went past the shield.
"I told you I was strong enough to contain the power of the Lucifractor," a dark voice growled, making the gang's skin crawl.
"It still isn't your power," Ellie spoke shaking her head at the darkened version of Vice Principal Stern. "It's still the Lucifractor's power."
"And in time, it will become mine," Stern said while his features grew darker with every step he took towards the sapphire bubble. "I even have the power to take down that silly excuse you call a protection spell."
"It protected us from the shock wave," Sarah hissed standing next to Ellie before turning to hiss at Jesse,"I don't see why we had to save him." who scoffed rolling his eyes.
"Guys. Not now we are all on the same team right now so let's try to get along," Ellie said before turning toward Jesse,"We are on the same side, right?" Ellie questioned with a quirked eyebrow.
Jesse stared down at the girl before nodding and looking away from her.
"Guess there are some spells I can do perfectly," Benny said cockily with an arrogant smirk on his face. "Shut up!" said the other three in the orb with the spell master.
"I hate to interrupts this lovely moment,but I believe we were in the process of me destroy you guy and the rest of the vampires in Whitechapel." Stern said to the group that had forgotten Stern was there.
Before the group of four could even respond they were all knocked down as he destroyed Benny's protection spell, but fortunately for the two vampires present the purple hue had passed but they were both weakened from the Lucifractor draining them earlier.
Ellie went to help Sarah up but Benny had beat her to it so she turned to Jesse who was trying to push himself up with no such luck. Holding out her hand to him, she wondered if that was how she looked trying to get back up after being pushed into the lockers. 'I'm pathetic.' Ellie thought as Jesse got to his feet, letting go of her hand.
They watched in horror as Stern's eyes turned jet black and his skin was covered in black marking before he sent a blast of power that threw them all back.

Meanwhile just outside of town Erica and Rory watched as their friends fought for not only their life but everyone other supernatural creature in Whitechapel.
Erica hissed suddenly, " I'm going down there! I am not leaving my best friend down there to fight for her life."
Rory nodded eagerly, "Yeah! Ellie and Benny are the only true friends I've ever had and I will be damned if I leave them down there."
Anastasia rolled her glowing eyes before commanding them,"You are to follow and not question me."
"Yes,my-No," Erica snapped out of the trance Anastasia had over her and Rory,"We going to help our friends and there is nothing you can do to stop us." she flew back to Whitechapel with Rory in her grip.

Ellie barely managed to dodge out of the way as Stern tried to blast her and Benny with the Lucifractor. Sarah and Jesse seemed to be taking turn attacking Stern when one was thrown off the other dove in only to be thrown off as the other was done recovering. Ellie looked around her surroundings to see if there was anything she could use to help Sarah and Jesse.
'Come on Ellie! Think! There has to be something here to help them.' Ellie mentally screamed at herself as she became more frantic when she didn't see anything in sight that could help her friends, well her best friends and Jesse. Ellie first clenched as she realized there was nothing she could.
'You aren't as defenseless as you think child.' said a soothing voice inside the girl's head.
'What do you mean' Ellie questioned the voice in her head.
'You are very powerful my child, but you have yet to reach your full potential," said the voice softly, "but you do have enough to help destroy the Lucifractor for good." Ellie shook her head as she told the voice she was useless," I'm useless the only thing I'm good at is having confusing vision and being a complete and total dork."
"After all this time you still doubt your abilities," the voice seemed to sigh," You have enough power to stop him and destroy the Lucifractor forever. Just clear your mind,don't think about what's happening around you, just feel." Those were the last words and sound Ellie heard before Benny cried out in alarm. She opened her eyes to see both Jesse and Sarah on the ground seemingly unconscious and Stern advancing toward Benny who was still searching for a spell. Something within Ellie snapped and before she knew it Stern had been thrown back by a blast of energy that seemed to have come from Ellie's bare hands.

Erica landed with her hands still gripping Rory's shoulders as he trashed about repeatedly saying "We must return to our queen." in a monotone voice.
"Shut up Rory!" Erica head-butted the shorter boy who immediately quite trashing to rub his forehead.
"Ow! What was that for?" Rory complained rubbing his head.
"I had to get you out that trance somehow, now hurry up we have to go save our friends!" Erica said as she and the boy ran into the building that was shaking violently.
—
Ellie panted heavily as three of the five people in the room stared at her in shock. Both Jesse and Sarah had woken up and they along with Benny were running towards the girl who looked like she was about to drop.
Just as her knees were about to give out, Sarah caught her.
"What was that?" Benny demanded as Stern started to get back up.
"I don't know exactly but I hope you found the spell because if we don't get out of here soon this place is gonna collapse on us." Ellie whimpered as she was hit with a head-splitting headache.
Erica and Rory had bursted into the room just as Stern screamed," You think you can stop me? The power I hold is inevitable to any spell you use against me!"
"Oh but there is one," Benny said as he raised his hands in the air,
"KAlædan së mægen; Forþræstae së deœlstor! KAlædan së mægen;
Forþræstae së deœlstor! KAlædan së mægen; Forþræstae së deœlstor!" Benny chants got louder as the light in his hand grew and glowed brighter. The light seemed to maneuver itself from Benny's hands to the Lucifractor and Stern before glowing brighter then exploded. Everyone ducked away as the light was castes over the entire room.
When the light faded the only thing left of the Lucifractor and Stern was ashes. They all stared at the spot when a piece of the roof caved in.
"We gotta get out of here!" Rory screeched as more of the building started to collapse. With that they all started running well all but Ellie as she was carried by Sarah who seemed to be struggling with the girl. "I don't think I can keep carrying her and running at the same time." Sarah said as she groaned, still extremely weak from the Lucifractor draining her. Luckily, Jesse wasn't much further ahead and heard Sarah struggling with the girl, came back and grabbed said girl, "Go! I can get both of us out in time." Sarah looked skeptical about leaving the seer with the vampire but realized this was the only way that Ellie would get out alive and took off anyway. Meanwhile Ellie was coming in out of consciousness after the whole energy blast. Blinking the blurriness out of her eyes,she looked up at the person carrying her,"Jesse?" The elder didn't reply as he dodged a piece of wood that would have hit them. The last thing Ellie saw before she blacked out again was the building collapse completely on itself.
