Torn Knight

The cube was in position, the speakers were ready to sound the spells, there was just one problem... no ghost.

"Where is he Dennis!" Cyrus demanded to know.

"I don't know, he isn't here damnit!" Dennis said, hand on the ground, yet feeling nothing supernatural from the Valley High Baseball field.

"Well do something! Find him now!" Cyrus screamed.

"I know where he is." Evy whispered after seeing the vision of a horrific car crash, everyone turned towards her.

"Where?"

"At a cliff... the bottom of a cliff." Evy muttered, stunned from the sight of horror she had just seen.

"Which cliff!" Cyrus scolded, Evy pointed at the cliff that was down the road from the high school.

"Get the cube, tell them to follow us, we're going to the Cliffside.

At the bottom of the cliff, the cube and speakers were set up, ready to capture the Torn Prince.

"Aahhhhh!" Dennis whaled, falling to the ground as he stepped out of the car, holding his head in pain.

"Ah, yes... this is the place!" Cyrus said triumphantly as he caught sight of Dennis' pain.

Dennis hobbled to his feet, giving Cyrus a dirty look. He put the glasses on, and looked around, fortunately he wouldn't need to touch the ground where Royce Clayton had plummeted to his fiery end, unfortunately Royce was right in front of him, swinging his splintered bat furiously!

"Ah! Goddamnit!!!" Dennis screamed, running for his life as the torn spirit gave chase.

The others scurried around, trying to get the cube and spells ready, not even worried about Dennis' well being.

"Dennis!!!" Evy screamed as she ran after him, trying to distract the angry ghost.

Her distraction worked, Royce turned, swinging his bat in Evy's direction as he moved towards her.

"Start transmitting!" was heard from afar.

Evy ran towards the glass prison, glancing behind her shoulder as she ran. The ghost was gaining on her, then the Latin was heard, Evy ran to the cube, stopping in front of the open glass doors. The half torn teenage spirit swung the wooden bat at Evy, she ducked, he swung again, hitting her in the side with all his might.

Evy screamed in pain as she fell to the cold ground, grabbing her left side.

"No!" Both Alex and Dennis yelled.

The Torn Prince raised his bat slowly as he stood over Evelyn's collapsed body, he aimed it at her head, he swung back, ready to strike...

"No! Get away from her!" Dennis shrieked as he ran towards the ghost, waving a smoldering flare at it.

The flare burned its pure light, which startled the vengeful spirit, the ghost disappeared from over Evy, and reappeared inside the glass prison... the inscribed doors slammed shut.

Dennis dropped the flare and ran to Evy's side.

"You okay?" he asked, sounding more concerned that he ever had before.

"I think so." Evy mumbled, trying to sit up.

Dennis waved his hands around her, wishing he could help her sit up, but he couldn't touch her.

"Evy!" Alex screamed as she ran to her friend.

"I'm okay, it just hurt like hell!"

Cyrus walked over to them, looking like the devil himself, with an evil grin on his lips as he peered in at the ghost.

The three went back to the hotel, Cyrus, Serena, Henry and Kalina stayed behind at the cliff.

Dennis and Alex stayed with Evy, helping her with the pain.

"Here, take one of these." Dennis said, handing her the white pill.

"What is it?" Evy asked as the pill dropped into her hand.

"It'll help with the pain. Trust me."

Evy swallowed the pill, the pain left almost instantly.

"Wow, those things really do work!" she muttered, feeling light headed as she laid back on the bed.

Alex went into the other room, trying to find the phone number of a doctor that would make house calls to the hotel room.

"Where did the flare come from?" Evy asked groggily.

"Oh, Kalina gave it to me, she said it would scare him. She said it was a quicksilver flare." Dennis stated as he looked around the room, paranoid as usual.

"Weird." Evy mumbled, then passed out.
