Chapter 21

Shawn starts burning people while Hunter is poking them around with a tiny sword. Chris is shooting his keys towards the people. Shane starts skating and throws little plates at them. Stephanie throws hot water at everyone.

Edge and Christian are helping out. They start punching everyone who works for Randy. They are not on his side anymore. They got each other's back, and hit one man who tries to hurt the other.

"Nice…" smiles Edge

"Not bad for you either"

They people start retreating. They start running away from the place. All screaming and running away with fear. As the crowd start leaving John comes in running with Dallas. He jumps off of him and runs to the castle. He then sees everyone cheering.

All of them are yelling get our here and never return; while Hunter is yelling this is our yard. John runs up to them.

"Where's Mark?" he ask

"He's upstairs…" says Shawn

John was about to run upstairs but was stop.

"Careful John…" said Edge "I know Randy…he will not stop until he finish his job"

"I will…"

"He plans to kill the beast…and he might hurt you" said Edge

"I won't let that happen" said John "He won't hurt me…I know what I'm doing"

John runs up as fast as he can. He hears laughter and he growls. He goes in the room and he sees Randy aiming an arrow at him.

Mark felt the bullet hit his shoulder and he falls back. He goes down to his knees holding on to his shoulder.

"You love him don't you" said Randy

Mark didn't say anything, he just looks away.

"You think John wants to be with you?" he smirks

"John is with me now….and we are going to live happily ever after"

Mark growls as he stands up fast only to be shot at. Mark backs away holding on to his stomach and falls off the balcony. He falls to one of the little towers of his castle. Randy grabs an arrow and aims at the beast.

John runs up to him and takes the bow away. Randy turns around and gasps. John breaks the bow in half and glares at him.

"How did you…?" he ask "Doesn't matter…John…let me finish him"

"Never"

"When we get home…" Randy starts as he is loading the gun "You will marry me John…and I will have the beast head hanging on the wall"

"NEVER…!" John yells

John reaches for the gun and grabs it. They start fighting for it. John moves the gun up making Randy shoot the roof. John then twists his arm and Randy drops the gun. John kicks the gun away. Randy glares as he swings his fist. John ducks and punches Randy on the ribs. John kicks him down; and Randy slides over. He then felt the gun. He grabs it and shoots at John.

He dodges it and runs towards Randy to kick the gun away. This time it falls to the third floor. Randy glares. He then hears struggling. He sees the beast trying to climb up.

"He's mine" he whispers

Randy kicks John; which makes him fall down. John gets up but Randy is now running towards the beast. John runs after him. Randy slides down the edge of the roof. He is getting closer. John runs after him; but using a different way hoping he can get to him first.

Mark claws the roof as hard as he can. He can barely feel his shoulder. Mark jumps to another to try to land on the floor. Mark tries to climb on but he is losing his grip. Randy jumps and he is stops as he hears John.

"NO!" yells John

Mark hears him and looks to where he heard him. Mark sees John standing there with a worry look on his face.

"John…" he whispers

John stays still hoping Mark can climb up. Mark pulls himself up and kneels down. He smiles wide.

"JOHN!" he yells "You came back!"

"I tried to stop them…."

"Stay there…I'm coming" yells Mark

Mark gets up and jumps to other side. Mark starts running and jumps to get closer to John. He then walks up but was then struck by a kick. Mark stumbles back and Randy punches him. Mark stumbles and pushes him back.

Randy stumbles and hits a statue. He then grabs a pole and swings it to Mark. The beast groans as he hits his chest. Randy swings again hitting him on the back. Mark falls to his knees. Randy then upper cuts him with the pole. Mark flies back and rolls to the edge.

"You think John loves you beast…" yells Randy "Well he doesn't…he loves me!"

Randy hits his stomach. Mark groans and stays down.

"JOHN is MINE!" yells Randy

"NO RANDY STOP!" yells John

Mark gets angry and stops the pole. Randy gasps as he tries to take it away. Mark's grip was to strong. The beast stands up tall looking straight at Randy. He was angry; you can see it in the eyes. Mark throws the weapon away and grabs him in a choke hold.

Mark lifts him up high; and starts walking towards the edge. He hangs Randy over the edge; he is now begging for his life.

"NO please…stop" yells Randy

Mark doesn't move an inch. He just keeps glaring at him.

"I'll do anything…please don't let go" yells Randy as he hangs on tight to Mark's arm.

Mark squeezes Randy's throat; he then starts losing the grip.

"Please…don't let go…don't hurt me beast!"

Mark eyes widen. He stares at Randy. He slowly brings him to the edge and places him down. He still kept his strong grip around the neck. He slowly brings him up to his face.

"I am not a beast" Mark says with his strong voice.

Randy blinks away the fear.

"No get out!" Mark throws Randy far making him land next to the door. "Get out!"

Randy scrambles to his feet and starts dashing off. Mark turns around and sees John standing at his balcony.

"Mark" John smiles as he lend out a hand.

"John" Mark starts climbing up to reach for the hand. A few more inches and Mark holds John's hand with care. "You came back"

"Of course…I did…" smiles John "I can't leave you…"

Mark moves up to caresses his love's face. John leans into the hand; smiling warm. Mark brings his head closer; they were inches away from each other's lips. Mark then yells out. Randy was right behind him; he stabbed him on the side. Mark was about to fall but John grabs him. He pulls him up and lays him down.

"NO…" cries John

Randy jumps and land in front of them.

"NO Randy…please…stop" yells John

Mark is struggling to breathe. Randy takes out his gun and aims it at the beast. John eyes widen and dashes towards him. John tackles him down and starts punching him. They roll over and keep hitting each other.

They stand back from each other.

"John…marry me"

"Never"

John fights him again. They get to close to the edge of the balcony. Randy trips and goes over the rail; and he grabs John. They both hang from the balcony. John is hanging on to the edge tight. Randy is holding his legs.

"Pull me up John…" cries Randy

"I can't hold on much longer"

"John…pull me up…NOW!"

"I can't…I can't…"

John grip is slowly loosening. John tries his best but his fingers are slipping. John cries out as he can't hold on. As he was about to fall he felt his hand being grabbed. John looks up to see Mark holding on to his hand.

"I got you John…" he smiles

"I will kill you beast!" yells Randy "I will…"

John kicks him down; making him land on one of the little roofs. He slides down; trying to grab on to something.

"No…No"

He scratches his way to get a grip somewhere. Randy then slides off and falls. All the way and he disappears as he fell. John looks down with horror.

"Oh god…"

"John…"

John looks up to see Mark. John climbs up with the help of Mark. Once they are safe John gives Mark a big hug. Mark flinches a little making John step back.

"Oh god…you're hurt"

Mark falls to one knee but John catches him. John lays him down gently; while Mark groans in pain. John looks at every wound he has. He is losing a lot of blood. John tries to cover up some wounds but it's no use. Mark grabs his hand and slowly strokes it.

John looks at his eyes. Those green eyes that are slowly fading.

"You came back" Mark says

"Of course I did…" says John "I will never leave you again…."

"I'm afraid…I…it's my turn to leave"

"Don't talk like that…"

John holds Mark's hand tighter.

"We are together again…everything is going to be alright" John cries

"At least I got to see you one last time…" smiles Mark "I…Love you"

The rose is slowly fading until the last pedal falls. The rose stops glowing, his time is up. Mark body limps and his eyes slowly close. John felt him; go away in his arms.

"No…NO…" cries John "Please…"

John grabs the beast hands; squeezing it tight. His tears going down.

"Come back…please…come back…" John cries as he stares at the beast.

Hunter along with Shawn run in to see if the master is okay. They stop cold as they see John on the ground holding on to Mark.

"No…Master…" whispers Shawn

Hunter hugs him tight. "Not him…please…"

They heard cries. They both run to see the others.

Styles was not moving at all while Chris was trying to reach him.

"No…don't leave me my love…" cries Chris

Shawn looks at Styles "Oh no…it's happening…"

"Shane!" yells Stephanie "Where is he…?"

Stephanie stops as she sees them.

"Guys…it's been fun hanging out with you guys" says Stephanie "Good-bye friends"

She stays still; she is now just a teapot. Shawn looks down. "Oh Stephanie…Styles…" They heard the piano stop playing. Hunter looks over and Chris is now only a piano. Shane jumps in and lands next to his sister.

"Good-bye sister" he closes his eyes and slowly turns to a teacup.

Hunter turns to Shawn.

"I…Can't…speak"

"It's alright Hunter…"

"Shawn…I love you." He tries to say "And it was an honor to serve with you"

Hunter stands still and is now gone. Shawn sheds a tear.

"I love you too Hunter…" whispers Shawn "The honor was mine"

They all stand there; just as antiques.
