Authors Note: Hello everybody. I hoped everyone like the last chapter. I realized I made a mistake with the name of the Dark Dimension ruler. I didn't realized where that was until after I reread my chapter. To clear things up. The leader of the Dark Dimension is named, Erebus. Other news, just to clear things up again. There will be no break from this story. Actually I'm only focusing on this story. That and other stories that will be made in the future! Sadly still can't say anything. Other than that, enjoy the next Chapter, of the Demon within! C:
Chapter 6
Star's POV:
"MARCO" I screamed. I had walked into my room. I was in his clothes. He was just there standing in the middle of my balcony looking out. He was still in the Blood Moon Ball outfit of his. The sombrero was gone. Showing his messing brown hair. He no longer was wearing his mask. Exposing the upper half of his face. He was just standing there. Leaning against the rail as if he was waiting for something.
He turned around and stared at me. He had his normal, beautiful caramel eyes again. Looking at him made me want to cry. He let out a small grin. He even had his normal smile! The fangs were gone! I looked at his hands, his hands were just normal hands! The claws were gone! Was he normal again? Did he come back? Was he my Marco again? "Hey Star", he said with a big smile. He had his normal voice! I could feel the tears starting to form on my eyes. I sprinted and tackled him. I hugged him. I was never gonna let go.
I was full on crying on Marco's chest. Marco was always there for me when I was sad. He was my shoulder to cry on. I was squeezing him. I spent one night alone and I felt like it's been years! Especially with Marco's body was way more built. I always felt safe with him. He hugged me back, wrapping his arms around me. He started to slowly started to caress my hair. I loved the feeling! I felt like all my problems were gone in his arms. Like nothing would hurt me.
The thought of losing my best friend overwhelmed me! I never cried as much! "Marco I'm so sorry! You were right, I should've never trusted Tom. Somehow he made a deal that made me forget you! I'm so sorry!" I started to tell him everything! I hoped he understood me, I was crying so much I didn't really understand what I was even saying. He placed his hand on my cheek and lifted my face to meet his. Just his warm touch made me feel better. His caramel eyes staring at mine!
This was the second time I felt like I almost him. When he was kidnapped by toffee and almost got crushed by the crystal cube he was in. This time, he had done something to himself. I still needed to know but right now I was lost in those eyes. He let out a smile. "It's okay Star, I forgive", he said. I continued to cry. I squeezed him tighter and planted my face to his chest. He was my Marco! He forgave me for everything! I didn't deserve it!
"Hey, Star it's okay", he said pulling my cheek to meet his face again. "I'm fine!" he said. My Marco was fine. He really was! "Marco, how did you become that thing? Why did you do it?", I started to ask so many questions. There was so many things that I wanted to know. He just let out a chuckle. "Let's not talk about that horrible experience. I'm just happy to be with you again Star", he said. I started to blush. I squeezed him again and buried my face in his chest. I was happy he was with me too.
Marco was fine and back in my life! I looked up at him and let out a smile. I tried to stop crying. He gave me a soft smile. I then remembered! I let him go and ran to my drawer and pulled out both boxes. "I know it was yesterday, but Happy Birthday!", I yelled. He looked at the box and then at me and smiled. He slowly opened it and pulled out his gift. The beautiful pure gold necklace with the sun symbol hanging. With the sun rising it shined more, showing its beauty!
"It's beautiful", he said. He looked as if he was gonna tear up. "Marco, these aren't normal necklaces", I said pulling out mine. There chained together, when we both wear them, no matter where you're at you should feel my presence. You'll never be alone", I explained to him. He put his on. Tears were starting to form on his eyes. I then put mine on and then it shined for a quick second and glowed. Immediately I could feel a warm feeling. I looked at him. He was whipping his eyes. "Do you like it", I asked. He looked at me with some tears. "I love it, I'm never gonna take it off!", he said. See, I knew that he was gonna say that. I wasn't lying!
I looked at him. Those caramel eyes shining. I needed to do this. "Marco, there's been something I been needing to tell you", I said. He raised an eyebrow. "Marco, I don't know when this happened, or how it happened…. but…I think…I'm…in…LOVE WITH YOU", I just let it out. I didn't know how he was gonna take it. I looked down. I wasn't gonna face him. It was quiet for a while. "Star", Marco whispered. He placed both hands on me and pulled my face up. He was red. Looking at him just made me blushed. "I…love you too", he whispered.
I started to tear up again. The guy I loved, my best friend, said he loves me back! Did he really just say it! We just stared at each other. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck. He moved his hands and wrapped them around my waist. I could feel my heart pounding! We still were staring at each other. And without control and started to pull him in. I closed my eyes just as it was about to happen.
And after a few seconds of suspense. Our lips met. His soft warm lips. I have never felt a moment as magical as this kiss. And I'm a magical princess! We held the kiss. I can feel my body heating up like crazy! It was as amazing as I always thought it would be. So, perfect! We unlocked lips, not by choice…we might have…got a little…intense. We need to catch our breath. I looked at Marco but he turned around. He was facing the balcony again. "Marco", I whispered. Was something wrong? Did he not enjoy it?
"Star…", was all he said. "Yes Marco". He turned around and it was the worse sight in my life. My heart ripped! His black eyes and red pupil were looking at me. He had fangs and had grew horns where his sombrero usually would be. He was crying, breathing hard. "Help me…", Marco said.
"MARCO", I screamed jerking up. I looked around me to see where I was. I was in Marco's bed. In his hoodie, still with the sweats. It…was all a dream? It was all a dream. Marco wasn't normal. He was still that thing, I never gave him his gift, the kiss…never happened. I started to cry! "Marco", I whispered. I was gonna keep crying if I didn't get distracted by a smell. It was familiar smell. It was…nachos? I look around and noticed a huge bowl of nachos on Marco's desk. With a piece of cake next to it. I got out and walked towards it. They were still steaming. They…were freshly made.
I picked one and took a bite. They flavor was amazing. These were Marco's Super Awesome Nachos! But how? Only Marco can make these? Was…he here?! I quickly ran to my room. I slammed the door open. There was nothing different from last night. Glossaryck was still sleeping, Tom was still frozen and… no Marco at my balcony. I took a quick run all around the house. Every room was left untouched. Marco must've came when I was asleep. I walked sadly back to Marco's room and sat on the bed. I looked at those nachos and my stomach started to rumble.
Marco must've known I was gonna be hungry. I swear once all this is figured out and get Marco fixed, I was gonna kiss him no matter what! I was gonna tell him how I felt, I was gonna tell him everything! Even as what he was he still cared for me. He came and still made me food. Wherever he was. I was never gonna find someone like that! EVER! I quietly ate the delicious nachos. I didn't think something so simple good have a big effect on me. The nachos were a sign my Marco was still out there. He may not be normal, but he was still in there.
I then ate the piece of cake. It was pretty good. I went to my room and was gonna change into my normal clothes. I was about to change but I realized that the frozen Tom was facing my way. He was almost melted. I threw a blanket over him so he wouldn't see anything. I put on my favorite greed dress with my cute little squid, my pink and yellow stocking and boots with horns. My favorite earth outfit. I walked to my drawer and pulled my necklace out and put it on. I was gonna fix this. I walked to Tom and took the covers off him. I took a deep breath and unfroze him. He fell down to his hands and knees shivering. I pointed my want and summoned a blanket around him.
He looked up at me. "Okay, I deserved that", he said still shaking. I got upset. "NO, you deserve much more! But lucky for you I need you so your gonna help me", I told him! He was still shaking. I walked towards Glossaryck. "Hey, Glossaryck", I whispered. I shake him a little to wake him up. He opened his eyes. "Oh, Hello Star", he said. He started groaning in pain grabbing his stomach. "Lesson learned, never eat a dozen pudding cups in one sitting", he said.
I couldn't believe even he didn't know that! "Glossaryck, I need you!", I yelled. "Of course you do Star, put please don't scream again", he said. "Oh sorry. But Glossaryck, what happened to you", I asked. He groaned. "Marco…he fed me pudding", he said. Okay, so Marco was the one that gave him the pudding. Now why? "Glossaryck, do you remember what Marco asked for?", I asked. He was scratching his head as he was trying to remember.
Seriously? He was thousands of years old and this just happened last night! How could he forget already! "Umm…he wanted to become a demon", he said. The pain that my heart felt when I heard that! Marco wouldn't have never done that! Even if he was hurt I know Marco would go to that level. "So that's how he beat me", Tom said. Marco was now a demon. And in order to beat Tom like he did, a very powerful one. "Um, Glossaryck. Do you know how to change Marco back?" I asked. That was the first thing I needed to know.
I had to know if there was a way to get Marco back. "Usually Star, with these spells. The person who has completed the spell doesn't turn into a demon, but obtains the soul of a demon. So, in many cases it's the person that can force the demon out of the body. But it's the desire of power that many people can never let go. So usually you can anger the person to a level of rage so high, that the human body, since Marco is human, cannot contain the power and leaves on its own. But…" "So all we have to do is get him mad and he'll be normal again", Tom interrupted. I was about to punch him but he didn't let me. "Star, I got a plan. Call me in two days. I need to rest", he said. "Tom wai.." I didn't finish. With a snap of his fingers, he was gone.
I turned back to Glossaryck. "Sorry Glossaryck, continue", I said. He rolled his eye. "As I was saying, but it all depends on what spell Marco used. What demon he called to his aid. That is the first step", he said. He snapped his fingers and called the spell book to my lap. "First, describe to me what changes you saw in Marco", Glossaryck said. There was so many. They were scary.
"Um, he clothes were normal. He wore his Blood Moon Ball suit. But there were changes. His mask hang grown fangs. He had fangs. He had claws. He had grown black wings", I told him everything. His powers and how he was acting. The more I told him, the more concerned he look. He even started to look scared. His stomachache had somehow disappeared. "But worse of all, his eyes changed. He had all black surrounding and a red pupil", I said. And the look Glossaryck gave me was a first I ever seen. "Oh no… no no no no no. Marco my boy what have you done!", he said. He snapped his fingers causing the books pages to turn. "Glossaryck, what did he do?", I was eager to know.
"Star…Marco isn't any normal demon. The spell he cast on himself, was one that was never to be done at all costs!", he said. I was scared. "Please Glossaryck, tell me what he did", I asked on the verge of tears. Glossaryck let out a sigh. "Star, I'm gonna tell you a tale that only the King and Queen is allowed to know. But in this situation, that we are now in, you need to know", he said. Was it that bad! "Have you heard about the original 5 Star?" he asked. "Umm, noooo", I said.
"Okay, many many years ago there were a group. They were called the original 5. The first to introduce magic and powers throughout the dimension. They were the most magical and power beings in the multiverse. One being the first Butterfly, the first that held the wand. Universe Butterfly. Your 30th great grandmother. She had held the magical wand, the most powerful magical object in existence. She had claim the land where Mewni now stands and transformed it into what it now is. The next three were Warriors. Strong, fearless, and braver then any being known. The first of the three was Alcibie. She loved nature. She spent hours around the forest dimension.
She was protector of nature. She wore armor that was immune to magic. The Armor of Alcibie. At that time darkness was rising and there was a lot of dark magic rising. She was a great fighter, held double twin blades. Sadly, her story ended as she was fighting an armor of evil creatures. Her armor may have protected her from any magical attacks or spells, but not from physical attacks. She was outnumbered and sadly killed. Her armor is said to be somewhere in the forest dimension.
The warrior was a huge, strong, and very aggressive being. His name was Magne. He loved to travel the seas in the water dimension. He's magical object, was a shield. The Shield of Magne. The shield was indestructible. The shield could block any physical attack as it was nothing and deflect any magical blast or spell back to whoever casted it. He was a free soul. Constantly sailing. His story ended pretty similar to Alcibie. One day he was caught with the pirates of the dimension. It was a long battle. He had a carried a huge ax, but he was a careless fighter. He relied too much on his shield and his strength. He thought he was invincible. He feels by an arrow. The captain on top of the deck had fired an arrow to his head from a distance. Magne thought he was winning till…the arrow hit and he was dead. His shield is known worn by the current pirate captain, somewhere in the seas of the water dimension.
The next was Jelani. He was not a normal warrior. He actually was the first King of Mewni. You're 30th great grandfather. He was a noble fighter. Had wings like angels. Muscular and strong. He had held the most power weapon known in history. The sword of Jelani. The blade was unbreakable! Made by the strongest metal that ever existed. This metal is so rare, that the sword is the only object known made from it. The sword was able to control the air. With a single strike, you were able to send a slash of air, cutting through objects as they were nothing but paper. He and your great grandmother, Universe, created Mewni. Started from nothing and began the kingdom what it was now. He had a full life. But when Universe died, he didn't feel complete without her. So, he went on a quest to hide the sword. It is located somewhere on our world, but that story is for later", Glossaryck had explained.
I was shocked. How did I never hear about this? "Glossaryck, why is all that a secret?" I asked. He shut his eyes. "Because Star… of the last being of the original 5, Ocram! As the other 4 originals were pure good in their hearts, there must always be a darkness. Ocram was that darkness. The original Dark Lord. He had created the Dark Dimension and the Underworld. The only being to have created two dimensions. He couldn't rule both so he decided the rule the Dark Dimension. His weapon was deadly scythe. The rod was made from quebracho, one of the strongest woods in all dimensions. Smooth curvy handle made from the wood.
And attached to rod, was a long, curved, sharp blade. Made from tungsten, a very reliable metal, could slice thru almost anything. But that was just a weapon. The ruler of the Dark Dimension now holds the scythe as a symbol of power. But what he had was nothing but pure power. The most powerful being to ever exist. Ocram was the first demon. He had powers that even now we wouldn't believe were possible. His story ends when he went mad for power. He tried to take the souls of anything alive to increase his power. But it wasn't long till the other 4 stopped him. It was a long and very difficult battle. The dimension that they fought no longer exists. It was destroyed during the battle. It took all the power and strength from the 4 to stop Ocram. But he did not die. Before his body was destroyed he released his soul is somewhere in hiding. No one knows where or how to find it.
Waiting till the day comes where his soul awakens and begins to gather his strength to rise again", Glossaryck told me the whole story. It was a lot to take in hearing this story. "Why did you tell me this Glossaryck?" I asked. I was so confused. What did any of that have to do with Marco. He let out a sigh. "Star…the spell Marco used…he now has a part of Ocram's soul in him. If I'm. correct he has awaken Ocram", He said. I was speechless. My body had lost control of itself. Why…WHY MARCO!? Tears were forming again in my eyes. "But…how is there even a spell for that?!", I demanded to know! "You're 9th great grandmother, Queen Eclipse. When I told her the story she was determine to find out a way to tap into his power. And she succeeded.
Luckily at the time she discovered it, she realized how dangerous and never cast the spell. But I forgot that she had placed the spell in the book. But I explained the dangers of the spell and put many warning signs around it", he said shaking his head. I just stared at him. I few tears started to fall. Glossaryck noticed I was crying. "Is there any way we could fix him?", I asked. He let out a small smile and whipped my tears. "Star there actually is a way", he said. I could feel my hope go up. If I can get my Marco back, I'll do anything I could! His smiled then left and it turned back into a serious look. "But we have to act fast. Marco will have a few days before he loses his humanity and Ocram takes over his mind and body", he said. I looked at him. "How long does he have?" I asked. I have never been as worried for anyone as I was now!
"He casted the spell yesterday night...he has 4 more days till Ocram takes over" he said. 4 days? That was a Wednesday! The Diaz's will be back Saturday! The Butterfly Balls on Friday! Marco has to do a plan by Thursday and now his life could be over by Wednesday! This was overwhelming. I really wanted to cry some more but I needed to focus. How was I going to get Marco back? "Glossaryck, how can we get him back?". He started to think. "Well, first we have to find what makes him feel his human self. Then you'll have to explain to him everything and tell him he needs to let the demon go. And then after that, the battle will be all on him. He'll need to release the dark soul in him. And once he does his own soul will have a battle with the piece of Ocram's soul. Whoever's is stronger will win. It won't be an easy thing for him to do. Three things could happen with this.
One, he loses and his body will disintegrate. Two, he wins, but loses part of his own soul. Causing him to never be the same Marco you know. And lastly, and hopefully this is the outcome, he wins fully and kicks Ocram's soul out of his. Marco in the end will be his old self but will still have the power he had obtained", Glossaryck said. I only had about a trillion questions but I remained calm and only though of the important ones. "Okay, I'm gonna just ask all the questions I have at once. What do you mean by find what makes him human? What do you mean their souls fight? And how will he keep his powers?" I asked. There were many more but I only stuck with these three.
"First, was there any sign of Marco to loses powers from the demon, did he have a moment where he was normal?" Glossaryck asked. I though really hard trying to figure out what he meant. But then I remembered when his eyes changed. When they went from black and red to their caramel color when he saw me. "Um, his eyes changed in the Underworld. They went to his normal caramel color when he saw me", I told him. He then let out big smile. "Star, it's you! You're the one that could save him", Glossaryck said. I was confused. "What?" "Star, you're the one that helps him feel like himself. You're what makes Marco's soul overpower Ocram's! That's how Marco was able to change his eyes. He was his true self at that moment!" he said. I felt the joy in my heart rise! I really still meant that much to Marco! "Second, after Marco tries to releases the demon's soul, it will turn on him. Instead of giving him power it will try to take the body by force. That's why we needed to know what made him human. So, when he fights, Marco's at his strongest", it made perfect sense. "And last, I'm not very sure, it's a small possibility that it could happen. I believe since Ocram has given him the power, he cannot take it away. We need to make sure that's the result", he told me. It all made perfect sense.
I needed to save my Marco. "But Star, whatever you do, do not get him upset! Normally getting someone angry and that tactic to unleash the demon would work, but not for Ocram's soul. Ocram's power realizes on anger. If he gets to a point of anger it could unleash a rage mode. You cannot allow that!" he said very serious. Immediately, I thought of Tom. Whatever he had plan I had to make sure he didn't do! "Glossaryck, Marco was able to overpower my wand, what if I need to use it and I can't?" I asked. Glossaryck thought for a few seconds. "Star, you need to find the other half", he said. He was talking about the Star on my wand. I had lost it during the battle at toffees castle.
I looked at him. I knew exactly who has it. "Ludo has it", I told Glossaryck. He gave me a "OH" face. "When Universe fought Ocram, she had full power. Right now, to be able to match with Marco, he need the other half", he said. I looked at him. If I needed the wand from Ludo, then I was going to get it! No matter what! "Alright Glossaryck, I'll be back!" I told him I knew exactly where Ludo was! He was in a cave at Mewni. I grabbed my wand and interdimensional scissors and headed to Mewni. It felt great to be home. It was quiet. I could see from where I was at that there was work being done at the castle. Probably preparation for the Ball. I looked towards the forest and headed in. "I'm coming Marco", I said as I made my way going to Ludo. I knew exactly where he was. He was in the safest place in the Forest of Certain Death. The very corner of the forest where there was really no danger. It took me about 10-minute run to approach the front.
The one thing I learned about the Forest is if you didn't act like you were in any danger, nothing ever happened! But now here I was. Again, another meet up with Ludo. I knew there was going to be a fight! There always was. I slowly walked in. One thing about Ludo is you never knew what to expect from him. He was dumb but unpredictable. I slowly made my way into the cave and by the time and made my way through the entrance and into the cave I could hear Ludo. I peaked in to see he was eating…something with his eagle and spider. He had his cave well kept. Had some furniture, beds, and other accessories. I took a deep breath. I needed to do this. It was either now or never. I turned and enter the cave.
"LUDO", I yelled. He spit whatever he had in his mouth and jumped. He looked at me and screamed! So did the eagle and spider. They quickly ran to the opposite side of the cave. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he yelled. Was he scared? I was so confused. "Um…Hi Ludo. Um, I just want to talk. No fighting", I said with my hands up! He looked around. "And where's the boy", he said. Why was he acting so scared? Had he seen Marco? "Um, that's what I actually came to talk about. He's not here", I told him. He eyes popped out. "NOPE, NO NO NO NO. I want nothing to do with him", he yelled. I got upset. That was my best friend. He was gonna listen if he liked it or not!
"LISTEN! He's not here! Wait…have you seen him?" I asked him. "Seen him!? He tried to kill us!", Ludo said. So now apparently, he had even known what Marco was. "When did you see him?", I asked. "Yesterday, I was there at the boy's house to take your wand. And then he came out of nowhere, whatever he was and started to attack us. Not even my wand was able to do anything to him", he said. So Marco was even stronger the Ludo's wand. "Ludo, I know we don't see eye to eye but I need your help", I told him. He gave me a glare.
"I already told you I want nothing to do with the boy", he said. I was trying to stay calm. "Ludo, you don't have to get anywhere near Marco. Look, I know you're not gonna like it but I need your wand", I said. He was about to say something but I needed to make sure he understands before he started a fight! "Before you say anything, just listen", he closed his mouth and remained quiet. "Thank you, so Marco isn't normal as you know. He turned himself into a demon. And into a very powerful one! My wand couldn't even match his power either. But he's still in there. He can go back to normal. But I need the full power of the wand. If I don't help him, the demon will take over and he won't be Marco anymore", I told him!
He listened and started to think. I hoped he listened! "So only the full power of the wand can stop him?" he asked. "Yes". And the boys not here?" he also asked. "No, after I get the wand I'm going to find him", I told him. He let out an evil smile. "Well looks like you're not going anywhere! GET HER!", he yelled and his pets lunged at me. What was he doing that dumb bird! I quickly grabbed my wand "Super Sticky Syrup Web", I yelled! And I large amount of yellow syrup hit them, slamming the into the wall of the cave. They were stuck there. I looked at Ludo. He now had his wand out.
"LUDO WHY?" I was now angry! "Easy Star Butterfly, if I just need the full power of the wand to defend myself from the boy then so be it! As long as I'm fine ", he said. I was so mad at those words. I wasn't gonna fight. I was gonna end this in one blast. I summoned a wall of energy between me and Ludo. I've done this spell once when I was rescuing Marco from Toffee. "What are you doing?" Ludo asked. I raised my wand into the air and concentrated. I made sure I gave my wand everything I had. I felt my hearts glow. Then my wand glow. The magic flowing through my body.
"Oh no you don't Star Butterfly!" Ludo yelled. I could feel he was charging his wand. I lowered the wand to my face. It was complete. I opened my eyes. And with a small bow, and a twist, I pointed my wand at him. He wand was charging with green energy, electricity going everywhere. "I will not lose again STAR BUTTERFLY!" Ludo yelled. And fired his blast. An energy of pure hatred and anger. I released mine, the most powerful spell I knew, and it overpowered Ludo like nothing. It sent him flying and hitting the cave pretty hard.
I walked towards him. "Ludo, you can't hide from, especially if the demon gets full control of him. He'll only keep getting stronger till the wand is nothing compared to him. What happens when he finds you? What happens when he finds them?", I said pointing to his pets. He then looked down. "Ludo, they will die if Marco finds you. There's only a few days left until all this happens", I told him. And then what happened I never would have expected. He began to cry. "Star Butterfly, it's been my mission to obtain the wand, and now I finally have a piece. I can't just give it away. This has been my purpose", he said. I actually felt bad for him. I looked at his pets and they were looking at him sad.
I pointed my wand at them and cleaned all the syrup that was holding them. Immediately they went to Ludo's side. I let out a smile to see these two cared for Ludo. It wasn't by fear or they had too. They cared for him. "Ludo, look. These two care for you. I know you care for them. They're like your family! I know you can be happy with them", I said. He looked up and realized that his spider and eagle were by his side. He let out a smile and hugged them. "Ludo, I promise Ill repay you some way! But right now, this is bigger than any rivalry between us", I said. He then looked at the wand. Then up at his Spider and Eagle.
He took a breath and threw his wand at me. "Take it! Just remember you owe me Star Butterfly", he said. I let out a big smile. I grabbed my interdimensional scissors and cut open a portal. Before I jumped in I turned around. Ludo and the two creatures were hugging. "Thank You Ludo", I said and jumped in. I had the first step. I had gathered the separate piece of the wand. I was now back in my room. "Glossaryck, I yelled. The spell book went crazy and landed in front of me. Glossaryck jumped out. "Hello Star, any luck?" he asked.
I let out a huge grin and showed him the second wand in my hand. "Excellent work Star! Now the next step is ill need 2 days to merge both pieces together again", he said. "2 DAYS?! Why so long?" I asked. He looked at me. "Star, these are two different magical objects. They might have the same piece but it will take some time putting them back together. I have to carefully take the star chip from Ludo's wand and make sure that its stable enough to but back on your wand", he said. I looked at him sadly. "Alright, then it'll be ready to go?" I asked.
He let out a sigh. "Sadly no Star, I will need another day to let the wand charge to get its full power. ANOTHER DAY? "But Glossaryck, that means the wand will be ready by Wednesday! What about Marco?" I asked. "Oh, don't worry Star, you have till the evening of Wednesday, so once the wans ready, you get going.", he said. "Oh, okay", I said a little uneasy. "Star, this is going to take my full concentration, so no interruptions!", he said. And then he disappeared into the book with the wands. I laid on my bed. I still had Marco's hoodie. I hugged it tightly.
"I'll save you Marco…", I said.
