Chapter 9 How to get away?

Tyson's world had gone completely numb, the tears were falling from his eyes, his body was shaking and he just wanted to die already. He wanted to be free from the heartache he was experience right at this moment. He was responsible for destroying the world. He had betrayed his cousin, and through that destroyed the world.

"Don't worry… everything will be over soon." Charlize told him and fell to her knees getting ready to put the blade straight through his stomach.

"Stop!" Drakath ordered. Charlize turned her head and looked at him. "Give me your kiss of life first my love, then you can spill his blood." Charlize rose to her feet and Tyson lay on the floor. He looked numbly over the three others and he could almost see them open their eyes and wink at him. He was completely out of it.

Charlize made her way over to Drakath slowly, still with the knife in her right hand. The world seemed to tremble in expectation at every step she took, as if it knew something was going to happen.

Tyson closed his eyes and welcomed the darkness that suddenly clouded his mind. The smell of death was sickening and the cold floor should have made him shiver, but he was to numb to move. The only thing he could hear was his own heartbeat, and then suddenly… two shapes appeared in front of him in his mind.

One of them was a tall boy with purple hair and a rather cold face; the other had flamingly red hair and seemed quite hot headed. Their held hands and sad smiles were on their faces. Tyson simply looked at them, not really caring who they were, until the one with the purple hair introduced the two of them.

"My name is Robert, and this is Johnny… we died in this room as you know. But we're here for a different reason Tyson." Tyson's eyes were dull and he stared blankly at them.

"Why should I care? I've got nothing left to live for, and I'm about to die and take the rest of the world with me." Robert and Johnny looked pained, when the form of a young woman, maybe the age of 25 formed next to them. She had flowing navy hair, dark eyes and a sad smile.

"Oh Tyson… my little son. You have to stay strong, don't give up." Tyson's eyes widened.

"Mom?" The woman nodded. "You died here?" She nodded again.

"Oh Tyson, I wanted to see you grow up, I wanted to be there for you, but when I was kidnapped by the Order so they could blackmail your father into giving them Charlize, I knew what I had to do. He was standing there and was watching Boris and the men who were standing behind me. They didn't see me take the sacrificial knife, and then I told him: "Love, don't give her to them! Don't let them end the world, I won't let them, I'm from now on, a sacrifice for the light." Then I pushed the knife through my heart, told your father to go and that I loved him before I died." Tyson stared at the spirit of his mother.

"… you took suicide!" He stared incredulously at her. She simple shook her head.

"No, I was a sacrifice for the light. I gave up my future you could have yours along with everyone else." She gave him a sad smile. "Don't give up, keep your hope, for all of us who has died here, please do it for us." Tyson could only nod, he didn't trust his voice.

Tyson opened his eyes, once again in the room that smelled like death. Kai, Tala and Bryan were still lying unmoving next to him and Charlize was at the moment pulling her knife out of a very dead Boris. What had he missed?

"My bride, why did you do that? He was our pawn." Charlize straightened and pulled the knife out of Boris' body.

"It was payback for hurting me before you came and revealed my true calling." Drakath seemed to sigh before he said:

"Fine, com one now my love, it's time for you to give me your kiss of life." Charlize nodded and started her walk towards Drakath again. Tyson's heart was pounding like madly, he was dead scared, he knew that he was next on the dead persons list.

A loud roar was heard, the room suddenly went completely dark and suddenly, more voices started to scream with the roar, only, the voices were happy while the roar screamed in frustration, anger and defeat.

Tyson sat up, the sight before him was something he hadn't expected at all. He had been expecting seeing Charlize, his beloved cousin, in the arms of Drakath giving him a kiss, not straddling him to the floor while pushing the sacrificial knife through his heart.

"My bride… why?" Drakath's voice was faint and weak, and Charlize answered it with a trembling voice:

"Because… my cousin, his love, and two of the spirit children who were locked in here gave their blood to me in a sacrificial rite, your power fed of my light, but their blood bond to me stopped you, that's why you felt weak once you had come here. Their blood was burning in my veins and took away your power which clouded my mind."

"…Charlize…" Tyson whispered, then, the black blood who had been pouring out of Drakath had soaked Charlize's clothes, splattered on her face making her look cruel and incredibly scary as she got up and Drakath's dead body was bound in white chains before disappearing. The chains which had bound Kai, Tala, Bryan and Tyson to the floor and Charlize stumbled over to them fell to her knees and whispered:

"It's over… you can open your eyes again… he's gone…" And Tala, Kai and Bryan did just that, before sitting up. Tyson just stared and Charlize fell to the side and closed her eyes and passed out on the floor.

"How… you… she skilled you!" Tyson stared at the three with tears in her eyes. Kai simply shook his head and Bryan said:

"No she didn't, when she crushed her lips against mine I heard her voice in my head. She told me to pretend to get my life sucked out of me. I did as I was told; I didn't dare to do anything else." Tala and Kai nodded and Tyson threw himself intro Kai's arms and sobbed. But they weren't safe yet. The building in which they were started to rumble and fall apart. Bryan picked Charlize up as they started to run towards the upper levels to get out of there.

A large piece of the roof had cut of their escape route forcing them to take another one; they were tired, hungry, sweaty and dirty, all they wanted to get out of there alive. As they ran, a big piece of the roof fell down landing on Tala's leg. The loud boom that came nearly shouted down said person's scream in pain. Bryan stopped dead in his tracks, handed Charlize to Kai and ran back to Tala.

"Bryan! Tala!" Tyson screamed out in terror just as another big piece of stone fell down and hid their friends from sight. The rumbles that the house was making made Tyson shake in fear.

"Tyson! We have to get out of here!" Kai yelled as Tyson was standing still staring at the pieces of the roof that was hiding their friends from sight.

"We can't just leave them!"

"They're probably already dead!"

"But we can't leave them to die!"

"At least they got to die together! Come on Tyson! We have to get out of here!" It was with fear and sorrow in their hearts that Tyson and Kai (who was carrying the knocked out Charlize) ran, trying to get out of the labyrinth like abbey. The rumbles and crashed spurred on the fear they experienced and Kai wished that he could see his parents faces again. Just once more, that was all he wanted, he didn't want to die here.

They ran and ran, the place was still dark, they didn't know how to get out of there, both of them were afraid and tired, they needed help. Cracking noises came at their every step as if the floor was going to crackle and disappear under their feet.

"We're doomed Kai! We can't find our way out! AAAH!" Tyson only precisely managed to get out of the way as another piece of the roof fell of, this time however, moonlight came with it. They were saved; the hole in the roof displayed a dark sky with stars and a full moon. They hurried up through the hole using the piece that had fallen as a ramp. Tyson who had bare feet was growing colder and colder, but they grasped to the roof pieces rather well, while Kai's sneakers kept sliding. Tyson took Charlize from Kai and laid her on an intact part of the roof as he helped Kai up before the two looked over the roof.

The entire abbey was in ruins but Kai and Tyson managed to get of the roof by jumping to a tree. They had luckily managed to get Charlize with them, even if she had made their escape a whole lot harder. Once they had reached safe ground about ten metres from the collapsing house, they collapsed on the grass before finally loosing their consciousness.
