Chapter 9

~Avalon's POV~

I listened intently as they told me that Jack was no longer Jack, but AntiSepticEye. They told me how he found his weapon of choice by summoning it into his hand, and how Akuma saw both his eyes turn black and green. I could tell by the looks on their faces, that they were extremely worried about him right now. I am too!

"I can't believe it." Was all I could say when they were finished.

"I'm really sorry, Ava." Akuma said as she touched my shoulder.

"No...he's not gone!" I said as I stood up from the wooden chair, and went over to my purse. I took out Akuma's necklace and put it on right away. "I know how to save Jack!"

"Hoo, lassie?" Blaire asked me.

"Akuma, you remember how you got me back to being normal last night?" I asked her, and by the look on her face showed me that she knew what I was talking about.

"Oh, my; gosh! You want to..." She began.

"Exactly! If he has Anti's dagger now, I just have to get it out of his hand in order for it to work!"

"What are you talking about?" Yvette asked.

"Whenever I look like I'm about to go all serial killer, Akuma says a Japanese phrase that gets me back to normal. Ikite, warai, ai." I answered.

"Live, laugh, love." Yvette stated.

"Yes! The only way for that to work, is if I have his weapon of choice, which in this case, is a dagger."

"But Avalon..." Akuma began, making me look back at her. "...if you do that with the dagger in YOUR hand, then Anti will just go into you."

"No way! I'm not letting that happen!" Blaire yelled.

"He won't take over!"

"How are you so sure?" Mark asked.

I paused for a moment as I thought back to last night. "Because I'll kill him before he gets the chance." I noticed in the corner of my eyes Akuma growing worried. She knew what I was talking about.

"Avalon, no. You don't mean..."

"It's the only way, Akuma." I stated, and everyone then realized what I was talking about.

~Jack's POV~

Darkness. That was the only thing I could see. Pure darkness, where as I used to see a glimpse of what I was doing, but then Anti would stop letting me see what he ended up doing. But now, I couldn't see shit! He had taken full control over me now, and all I could do was try to get back in control. But it was no use.

At least I technically told Avalon how I felt about her last night, and I was going to enjoy what we did. Thankfully, nothing major happened. So, I was grateful for that.

All of a sudden, light. I saw it where my eyes would be, and realized, that I was trapped in my brain. I saw where Anti had went, and it was the park. Why the park I had no idea, but then, I saw him put the dagger up in the air, and all of a sudden, the skies turned a darker gray in color. They were already gray, but never this color before. Lightning hit the dagger, and he moved it all around above him. The world was now going to be in ruins.

Just then, I noticed Avalon and the gang there. Avalon...she was glowing. But I could see the look on her face. She was scared, but I could tell that she knew she had to do whatever she had to do. I wish I knew what she had to, but if I had to guess...she was going to try to save me.

That was when a battle started out. Blaire, being such a good aim with a bow and a good swipe with a sword, was the first down, then Yvette, and then Mark. Avalon was left. I watched as Anti fought her...and she was doing an amazing job. I had no idea she could karate! But then...she was hit hard and sent to the ground. I got worried. I had hoped she was alright. That was when I saw her get up, and was about to run back towards Anti, but was stopped by Akuma. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I noticed her give Akuma the necklace, and right then and there, Akuma looked more like a human than a ghost.

That was when I felt Avalon grab the dagger in Anti's hand, and try to pull it out of his hand.

"What the hell are you doing?!" He yelled as he faught against her to protect his weapon.

"Saving the man I love! Saving Jack!" She yelled back as she was able to yank the dagger out of Anti's hand and held it up in front of her. "Ikite, warai, ai!" She yelled again.

~Avalon's POV~

I sat up from the ground, after being struck down by Anti, Jack's ghost. He held his dagger with pride, as he raised it in the air and had lightning hit it. I read that killing Anti while he was in the host, killed the host as well. I couldn't let that happen. The only other way, that Yvette didn't even know about, was that if someone else held the dagger, they could get all the darkness out of the host, including the ghost, and sacrifice themselves.

Jack had 8 million (almost 9 million) subscribers counting on him, and needed his adorible personality, cute smile and gorgeous eyes. He was needed. My channel didn't even have a million subscribers, only 10,000. It was the only way. I stood up from the ground and went to run when I felt a hand on my arm. I looked over and saw Akuma standing there.

"If you do this, I'm gone too. You know that, right?" She asked.

"I know, Akuma." I replied with. "But it's the only way." I then took off the necklace I wore to keep her in it, and took her hand, placing the necklace in her palm. And the moment it touched her opened hand, her pale skin grew tan, and her eyes went to a caramel brown, like our mother's eyes.

"You're free, Akuma. Welcome back." I said before running towards Anti and grabbed his dagger. We started fighting over it, and I could see that he was pissed.

"What the hell are you doing?!" He yelled at me.

"Saving the man I love! Saving Jack!" I yelled back at him before pulling his dagger out of his hand and held in front of me, with his name facing him. This was it...it was now or never. I closed my eyes, and concentrated. And when I opened up my eyes, I could see the dagger glowing with a dark aura.

"Ikite, warai, ai!" I yelled, over and over, as a black shadow started coming out of Jack and into the knife...and me. I felt pain all over as it entered the dagger. Once it was all done, I saw Jack standing there, and I could see in his eyes that he was scared to see me like this. "I'm sorry, Jack." I said, trying to keep my strength for a little while longer.

"Avalon, don't!" He yelled to me.

"I love you." I said to him, before I thrusted the dagger into my stomach, and felt all the darkness leave my body.

"AVALON!" Was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
