A/N: Before I start this chapter, I just want to ask you to please review and/or favorite and follow. I spend a lot of time writing these chapters and by seeing how many people read this story everyday, I just want some kind of feedback. I will not be that author who is saying that you need to review or else I'll stop posting. Like I said in earlier chapters, that annoys me so much. You guys read my story and I want to read your reviews. Anyways on with the show... or book... or whatever…

Previously on EMD:

"Damn." Levi said in defeat. "But at least you're stuck with me too." She said mischievously.

"I love you Levi." I said, tightening my arms around her waist.

"I love you too Jacin." Levi said smirking. She closed the door and dragged me deeper into the room.

Chapter Seven [Kai's POV]

Jacin has been avoiding everyone ever since Cinder lost her memory. He only spends his time in his room, not even letting Winter in. When I told everyone about Cinder, he was the only one who acted like he didn't care. Or… maybe he didn't care at all.

I had gotten so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that Winter was trying to calm Cinder down. Cinder whimpered in pain as she clamped her mouth shut to keep from screaming. My breathing was ragged as I watched the girl that I loved wither away to what was left in this hospital bed. I didn't want to see her gone.

I still hadn't told anyone about how she remembered me after the kiss. I mean I had to tell Winter because I mean she's Cinder's cousin. Winter had obviously told Jacin, I'm sure about that. I felt tears threatening to fall when Cinder whimpered in pain again.

Winter was telling her soothing words as Iko rubbed Cinder's back. At that moment Jacin walked in, fixing his uniform. His blonde hair was a mess, in tangles and unlike how he usually wore it.

What did you do while you were gone, I mouthed to him. He shrugged and mouthed back an I'll tell you later.

A few seconds after Jacin sat down Cinder started screaming again. Her hand started twitching again too. I flinched as Cinder's screams attracted some nurses. They ran around her bed, needles full of dark liquid.

A tear fell down my face as Cinder stopped screaming. I looked away because I didn't want to see Cinder being jabbed by needles, being forced to sleep. Tears leaking out of my eyes, I excused myself out of the room.

I didn't want anyone to see me when I started crying, no sobbing. I walked down the hallway not heading towards anywhere, just wanted to not be in that room. As I reached a random balcony, I fell to my knees, sobbing.

It felt like hours as I sobbed into my hands, leaning on the railing. I glanced up and looked out to the glowing city of Artemisia. I heard a sigh next to the door. I turned to see Jacin leaning on the door frame.

"You done yet?" Jacin asked me. I nodded in embarrassment. He sighed again as he walked over to where I was seated and crouched down to sit next to me, crossing his legs.

"Look Kai," He started. I was beyond shock since he had never called me by my name before. "We all miss the old Cinder, but we know that she'll never be the same. She isn't some delicate rose that needs to be taken care of. Cinder is the complete opposite Kai.

"She's a wildflower. She knows when she can and can't do things. Cinder still acts as if she's fine. But we all know she's not." He finishes. I looked up from the ground into his blue eyes. His gaze was comforting instead of hard and emotionless like it usually was.

"I know that Jacin. But she's in pain." I said, emotion strong in my sad voice. "And I don't know how to help her." I sobbed.

"I know Kai, and I'm really sorry." With that he left me in my broken form, sobbing for the girl I loved, and wondering what exactly he was sorry for.

[Jacin's POV]

As I walked away from the sobbing Emperor, I headed towards my room to prepare for phase two. I knocked on the door, letting Levi know it was me.

Levi opened the door slowly, her blue eyes hard and emotionless. As soon as her eyes met mine, they filled with love and care.

"Hello my love," I said to her, wrapping my arms around her perfect body.

"Hello to you too." Levi said, giggling. She unwrapped my arms and stepped around me to go out into the hall. "You ready for phase two Jacin?"

"Hell yeah!" I said, rolling my eyes. "I have been for the past few weeks. You got your bag ready by the way?"

"Hell yeah!" Levi pumped her fist in the air, mimicking me. I laughed at her enthusiasm.

"Now let's go and put phase two into action." She said, determined look on her beautiful face.

As Levi and I made our way down the hall towards Selene's room, we held hands. We already had our bags in the podship, so now we just needed the special package. When we reached the room I heard voices coming through the open door.

Great just what we needed, I thought annoyed. I let go of Levi's hand as I lightly knocked on the doorframe. Winter, Wolf and Cress were talking together and looked up when they heard me knock.

"So…" Wolf said, looking at me with his vibrant green eyes. "Where's Kai?"

"I saw him on the balcony in his room." I told him. "But I think that he wants to be left alone for a while."

Cress nodded quickly. "Yeah, I heard him crying when he walked out. He's grieving."

I flicked my finger so that Levi could see that phase two had started. I started kicking my shoes against the floor, and tried to look like I was thinking. Levi flicked the gun, taking the safety off.

Levi walked out of the shadows as she raised the gun and shot Wolf in the shoulder. Wolf dropped to his knees because Levi had shot him with a tranquilizer dart. Cress looked frozen in shock as she stared at Levi raise the gun towards her. Winter looked at me, her eyes full of sadness and pain. She watched as Levi walked up to me and grabbed my hand.

"Now or never Jacin." Levi whispered in my ear. I nodded, I looked down at Cress trying to get Wolf to wake up.

"Jacin?..." Winter whispered, her golden-brown eyes filled with pain and tears instead of the warmth and love that they usually held. "No… You said," Hiccup. " that you'd-" Hiccup. " never leave me…" Hiccuping she tried to reach for me but Levi turned the gun on her so Winter withdrew her hand.

"Well Trouble," I said harshly, enjoying how she flinched at the mention of her nickname. "Life once asked Death, 'Death, why do people love me, but not you?'. Death answered with, 'Because you, old friend, you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth.'

"Now Winter do you know what else is a beautiful lie?" I asked, she shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "My love for you was a beautiful lie. A lie that you believed, only because everything around you was the painful truth."

"No…" Winter's body shook as she fell to her knees, sobbing into her hands just like Kai was doing just a while ago.

"I never loved you. What you thought was love, was a perfect illusion." I spat at her, my voice hard. "An illusion just like everything around you." I looked at Levi to see that she already had Selene on her shoulder ready to go once I said the word. I looked down at the now motionless bodies of Wolf and Cress. Winter was still sobbing into her hands as I bent down to whisper in her ear.

"Now you can go tell everyone that I'm a traitor, that I never loved you, that I erased her memories, that I tortured her, that I captured her. And that I'm not sorry." I said, standing up and walking out of the room, Levi on my heels with Cinder on her shoulder.

"Ready to finish phase two?" Levi asked me. I nodded, my face emotionless.

"Never been a better time love." I answered, smiling over at her as I took Selene's sleeping form from her shoulder.

"Spades you're so cute when you're angry." She cooed, reaching to pet my hair, I smiled again at her gentle touch.

As soon as we reached the docks, I raced towards the podship, opened the door and threw Selene onto the seat. I sat in my chair as Levi checked that everything that we needed was in place. Levi nodded to me as soon as she was done. I immediately started the podship and steered out of Artemisia's docks and into the endless void that was called space.

I smiled as Levi reached over the seats and pecked me on the cheek. My smile grew more as we reached Earth's atmosphere, starting phase three.

Do you guys know how hard it is to make Jacin be evil? Blah Blah Blah, some crap about reviewing that I talked about earlier. Tbh this is the longest chapter that I've written so far, and I'm freaking PROUD. Now Payton… I think that your review did show up, but you just didn't put any sort of name for it. Now does anyone wanna take a guess as to who Levi is? And to why Jacin is acting evil?

With love, LivingTillTheEnd.
