Chapter 14:

"Ivan? Are you okay?", Mia gazed nervous at the blond boy before her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ivan smiled a strange twisted smile, he drew his sword and he put it on Mia.

"Ivan!", Isaac stepped forewards to grap Ivan's arm, "What the hell are you think your doing!", Ivan looked up at Isaac, his eyes blank with no emotion, smiling at him.

Mia took this change to grap the other arm of Ivan, "Let go of your sword Ivan, you don't want to hurt us, we're friends remember", Mia tried to take Ivan's sword, but he held it in his hand with ordinary strange power.

Ivan began to move strangely, Isaac Garet, and Mia tried to hold him, but suddenly it felt as like their hands were burning, Ivan's eyes began to glow dark, and strange dark smoke steamed out his eyes.

Isaac, Garet and Mia jumped back, while looking shocked at Ivan.

"What's .. what's happening?!", yelled Mia.

"I don't know", said Garet, "But be carefull".

Isaac looked at the four evil fire adepts, who looked satisfised at their mind slave, Isaac felt his blood race through his vains, how dare those monsters, how could they do this to Ivan! Isaac started to tremble with anger and hate, those monsters killed already four of his friends, how dare they to do that!

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!!"

everybody stared at Isaac.

Tears began to stream out Isaac's eyes, "Why them? It's me you want right?", Isaac started to walk towards Saturos and Menardi, "Leave them alone, do with me whatever you want".

"NO ISAAC!", yelled Garet.

Saturos smiled a evil twisted smile, "Indeed Isaac, you're the one we want".

"Then take me!", yelled Isaac at him, "Why do you want to kill them first?!"

"To make you feel even worse", laughed Menardi, "It's to bad we can't do it ourself, but as long we have our revenge it's fine with me".

Isaac shook his head, while gazing at the ground, "You ... you guys are sick in your mind!", Isaac quickly drew his Sol blade and slashed at Saturos.

"I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS!!!", he cried.

The sol blade slashes many times through Saturos who stood there laughing at Isaac, "Foolish boy, don't you remember? Menardi and I are ghosts, you can't harm us!"

Menardi smiled, "But we on the other hand", dark chains appeared out of nothing and wrapped around Isaac, he felt his breath stuck in his throat.

"NO ISAAC!!!", Mia ran towards her friend, "LET ISAAC GO!!!"

Isaac looked shocked at the ground, "This..this is exact like the nightmare I had", Isaac tried to move but he couldn't, he was stuck, a dark force pussed him on the ground.

Mia grapped Isaac's arm, "Come on Isaac! Get up!"

"I .. I can't", said Isaac with a trembling voice, he looked at Garet who tried to hold of Ivan, "Listen Mia, you and Garet have to run away".

Mia gazed stunned at Isaac, "No Isaac! There's no way that I'll leave you here!"

Agatio and Karst stood a few meters behind Saturos and Menardi, looking at the things that were happening.

"Um ... Karst", asked Agatio, "We don't play a big part in this now, do we?"

Karst shook her head, "Just wait it will come".

Suddenly a scream echoed through the area, Mia and Isaac looked schocked at Garet, he stood there with a sword stuck in his stomach.

"NO! IVAN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!", yelled Mia.

Garet gazed with disbelieve at Ivan, Ivan stood before his with a big evil twisted smile on his face, Garet dropped his own sword on the ground and moved his hand to his stomach, he felt his blood leaping out, he slowly looked down at his stomach, a dark cloud appeared before his eyes when he fell on the ground.

"GARET!!!", yelled Mia and Isaac, Mia ran to Garet to use her pure ply, but before she reached him raised Ivan his sword and let it sink in Garet's throat, blood spurt out and Garet could let out one last scream.

"NOOOO!!!", Mia bursted out in tears, "Why Ivan!? Why!?", she walked towards him.

"NO! MIA!", yelled Isaac, "don't do it! Don't come near him!"

Mia gazed at Isaac, her thoughts went fast through her mind, then she dicided to ran back to Isaac, she pulled at his arm, "Come on Isaac", she cried, "You have to get up! You have to!"

"Mia", Isaac looked her in the eyes, "Don't worry about me, run away, please."

Mia shook her head and kissed him, "No I could never leave you here alone", big tears rolled over her face, "I'll protect you Isaac".

"No! Don't do that Mia!", yelled Isaac, "This is exact like the nightmare I had, if you stay here you'll die", Isaac looked at Mia, she could see the despair in his eyes, "Please Mia", cried Isaac, "Run away, I don't want you to die".

Menardi smiled a nasty smile, "Oh how sweet, but don't think we'll let the girl escape, she'll die! Just like the rest of you, but first that other boy".

"IVAN!", yelled Mia.

The dark chains around Ivan slowly disappeared, his eyes became normal again, he blinked and looked confused around him.

"What happened?", he asked, then his eye fell on Garet, who laid lifeless on the ground in a big puddle of blood.

"NO! GARET!", yelled Ivan, while he kneeled on the ground by Garet, "NO! NOT YOU TOO!"

"It seems the dead of your friend makes you sad", smiled Saturos, "And then to think that you are the one that killed him".

Ivan looked shocked at Saturos, "What did you say?"

"Don't you remember?", asked Menardi sarcastic, "You killed your friend".

"No.", Ivan stood up and shook his head it's a lie, A LIE!", trembeling he looked asking at Mia and Isaac, but the depressed looks on their faces told him enough.

"No", tears stream over Ivan's face, "I'm not a murder, say that this isn't true!"

"Oh but it is", laughed Menardi.

Ivan dropped himself on the ground and gazed at Garet, "Garet .. I'm .. I'm so sorry", he cried, "plaese forgive me".

Mia buried her face in Isaac's chest and cried, Isaac trembeled with anger, "It's not your fault Ivan", he said, "Those .. Those ..THOSE MONSTERS MADE YOU DO IT!!!".

Ivan said nothing in return, he stared with big eyes full tears at Garet.

"It seems you really feel guilty about killing your friend", said Saturos, "You look so depressed", he turned towards Agatio, "Put him out of his misery".

"Gladly", laughed Agatio, "It's about time you let me do something, I was getting bored".

"No!", cried Mia, "Please NO!"

Agatio walked towards Ivan, with a big smile on his face he took out his sword.

Ivan looked up at Agatio and sighed, tears still stream over his pale face, "Go ahead kill me", said Ivan softly.

Agatio busted out in laughter, he turned towards the other three fire adepts, "Did you guys hear that?! This guy actually wants to die!"

"Ivan!", yelled Isaac, "Run away! You don't have to feel guilty over Garet's dead! It wasn't you who killed him! It was Menardi!"

Ivan didn't respond, he closed his eyes and sighed.

Agatio turned around to face Ivan again, "Well if you want to die, prepare to have your wish granted", he lifted his sword above Ivan, "Farewell".

The sword swifted through the air and cut Ivan's arm of, Ivan spread his eyes wide open, he wanted to scream but there came no sound out his throat, he fell on his knees on the ground breathing heavily.

"NO IVAN!!!", yelled Isaac and Mia.

Mia stood up to run towards Ivan, but something pulled her back, she spread her eyes wide open when she saw Agatio slash again with his sword at Ivan, she screamed when she saw his head rolling towards her and Isaac. "Oh NO!", she buried again her face in Isaac's chest, "NO! he cut his head of!"

Agatio smiled satisficed while he walked towards the other three fire adepts again.

Saturos smiled, "Now only two to go, were almost done."

"The grant finaly!", laughed Karst, "Can I finish of Isaac?"

"No!", yelled Agatio, "I wanted to do that!"

"Go right ahead", smiled Menardi, "Finish them!"

Agatio and Karst walked towards Isaac and Mia, Isaac held Mia tight against him, Mia cried in his chest, Karst raised her scythe and Agatio swifted his sword through the air.

"Farewell Isaac", said Saturos, and he gave Agatio and Karst a sign to strike when suddenly a voice spoke from behind a three.

"Not so fast Saturos."

Everyone looked up at the person who came from behind the three.
