Gemma laid on the floor withering in pain. The blade was plunged in so hard that it pinned her to the ground. Across the cave a puppet watched as she tried to remove the dagger from the ground every time that she did she would let out a gasping sob, which was music to his ears. Soon after what felt like hours of pain for Gemma she was able to get the dagger out of the ground, she slowly sat up. She knew she couldn't remove the dagger because if she did she would lose a lot more blood.

She sat up and tried to make her way over to the door of the realms, she figured if she could get in there then she could heal herself. Gemma shakily stood only to fall back on her knees. She could hear the hearty chuckle of the puppet against the wall. "Why don't you give it up, whore? It's obvious that you can't win." He laughed as the injured girl once again tried to stand. She stood and waited a few seconds and was happy to see that she didn't fall back down. She slowly started to advance to the door; she was halfway there when the puppet appeared in front of her, she stopped too abruptly and lost her balance. She started to fall and reached out for something, anything but only grabbed air. She closed her eyes as she waited to hit the floor. Suddenly a hand came and wrapped its self around her waist and pulled her back up to standing position. When she opened her eyes she was standing nose to nose with the puppet. She could feel his breath on her face. She wanted to push him off of her but he had her hands secured at her side.

"Get away from me." Gemma demanded in the sternest voice she could muster with all the blood lost. She felt as his lips moved to her neck as he started to blow hot air on it.

"I know you don't mean that. I'm everything like your wonderful Kartik. So make it easier on us all and give in. You know you want to." He started nipping at her ear lope. He trailed kisses down her jaw bone to the side of her mouth. Gemma didn't want to, but she let out a moan when he pressed her body against him as he placed a deep kiss on her mouth. She could feel his tongue snake into her mouth, she felt like throwing up. When his tongue brushed against her teeth she bit down on it. She could taste the metallic blood as it filled her mouth before he jerked his tongue out and pushed her back. She landed on the ground with a yelp as the knife shifted. She looked up to see the puppet with a look of pure hate on his face. She tried to crawl away but he pulled her back and sat on her with one leg on either side. He pulled out the knife with a sharp tug. She let out a gasp as the knife slide out of her as well as her blood. She tried to use her free hand to stop the bleeding, so she didn't expect the knife plunging in her other collar bone. She let out a blood curling scream, so loud that animals burrowed underground to get way from it, so loud that she woke up in the real world, she turned her head and screamed Kartik's name trying to wake him up. She turned on her side and tried to crawl over to him. She was so close that she could hear him moan her name. She watch with happiness as his eyes started to open.

"Kartik!" She screamed, but soon she felt an icy feeling grip her heart and a whisper

"You're not getting away that easily." Her heart seem to stop in her chest when she heard this, and she started to feel her self start to fade away, but before she left she heard Kartik's voice scream her name. Once again she was under the puppet again.

"Why are you doing this? One minute you want to kill me and the next you're trying to kiss me, what wrong with you?" 'If I'm going to die here, I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cower.' He pulled the blade out of her again and held it against her neck,

"Well you see, as I have already told you I do what my master wants and as for wanting you, it must be your stupid boyfriend. I am still connected to his feelings for you. But along as he's asleep I'm in control. Now if that answers all your questions." He lifted the knife from her neck and raised it above her heart. "I just wanted to say that I will enjoy fini—Gemma, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!" Gemma stared at him like he just grew two heads. As for him he had no idea why he said that. 'I have to finish her off now before that happens again.'

"What's wrong? Losing you touch?" Gemma said with fake concern. He just slapped her with the back of his hand.

"Shut your mouth, whore. I need quiet so I can hear your screams." He raised the blade above her heart again. The pulled the blade down but stopped it about an inch from her chest, it looked like he didn't have the strength to bring it all the way down. "What the—Gemma are you ok? Can you hear me?" Gemma soon recognized the voice. She could feel her heart suddenly leap in her chest. The puppet clasped his hand over his mouth, trying to stop the words from pouring out, but as much as he tried the words kept coming.

"Kartik… help me please!"

"Gemma, you have to wake up." The words were muffled by the puppet's hand but Gemma could still understand it. 'I have to wake up; I can't. What he thinks I've been dancing here.' As Gemma pondered what to do the puppet was fighting to have control of his body again.

He tried to push Kartik out but that only brought him to Kartik's attention.

'Get out of my body!'

'Not until I have Gemma with me.'

'You're never going to get your little whore back. She is to die here and that is what going to happen. So just going and find another slut to play with.' The puppet said to Kartik with a disgusting laugh.

Back in the real world

Kartik felt his blood boil and he just wanted to tear the puppet limb from limb. Kartik was leaning over Gemma trying to stop all the blood that was flowing out of her. He didn't know how she got all the wounds all he knew was that he was sleeping until he heard her scream his name. When he woke up he saw her lying in her own pool of blood.

"Gemma! Gemma! Can you hear me?" Kartik started to panic and grabbed her by her shoulders and started to shake her.

"Gemma! Answer me! Gemma, you need to wake up, right now!"

"Kartik…" He heard her whisper as; he saw blood pour from her forehead.

"GEMMA! WAKE UP, NOW!" Kartik saw her start to grow pale. He started panicking again she was dying in front of him and he couldn't do anything. He pulled her into him and held her, and for the first time, in a long time he shed tears. "Gemma…" he whispered "…you need to wake up. Please, wake up." When she didn't even stir he knew what he had to do. "Gemma please forgive me."

Dream Realm

Gemma tried to stand, 'Ok I have to wake up, according to Kartik. How do I do that! OK calm down, how do you wake up from a dream, something jumps you awake, like falling and almost hitting the bottom. But everything is real here. So what do I…wait where did the puppet go?' Someone appeared behind Gemma and shoved her. She landed hard on the cold cave floor. The puppet grabbed her by her hair and pulled her up, "How did you do it?"

"Do what?" Gemma could tell that the puppet was truly angry, that he could kill her any minute.

"You know what. How did you disconnect my control over your boyfriend's mind? I should have been able to tell if he was going to wake up. How did you do it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" The puppet slammed her head into the ground and watched as blood started to flow from her brow. He dropped her face first in the dirt. "Kartik…" Gemma tried to push herself up, but she was forced back down, when the puppet kicked her in her waist. Gemma fell on the ground with a cry of pain. She started having labored breathing.

"You really are pathetic aren't you? Get hit in the head and call out for help. What you can't defend yourself." He laughed.

"I…I…can't…breathe…" Gemma gasped out. She didn't know why she could talk but if felt like someone was cutting off her oxygen supply. She wanted to grab onto someone anyone to just make the feeling stop.

"What is happening!" Gemma turned her head and saw that the puppet was slowly and without doubt disappearing. He stared at his hands as if they have just been cut off in front of him.

'What is happening why can't I breath and why is he disappearing?' Gemma pondered and if finally hit her "Kartik…" she whispered

"What!" The puppet realized that she must have something to do with this, "What are you doing!" He screamed as he started to advance towards her. Even thought he was fading Gemma could see murder in his eyes, she started to try to crawl away, but she still couldn't breath and with all the blood loss she didn't get far before she collapsed. She felt light hands; almost like there weren't there, grab on her shoulders and pulled her up facing the puppet. "Stop it! Stop it right now!"

"I'm…not…doing this" Gemma said with a smile as she saw the look on the puppets face when he figures it out who was doing it.

"Make him stop! Tell him to stop!"

"No!" She saw his hand raise and braced herself for the slap that she knew was coming, but it never did, she opened her eyes and saw the puppet staring in horror, at first she could figure out what was wrong then she notice that his hand seemed to disappeared in her head.

"No...This can't be happening." Gemma eyes rolled in the back of her head and her body grew limp. All Gemma could hear was the puppet's final screaming of agony before she woke up.
