Chapter Seven

Shadow Jack

The next day, they all decided to move to Mille Seseau, all but Shawn of course. He decided to stay at the hotel, until his castle was repaired.

"Say Lance," Shawn yelled over to him, "I have something for you. It's the Dragoon Spirit that I used earlier. I don't need it, so here it's now yours." Lance caught the thrown object. Lance obtained the Jade Dragoon Spirit from King Shawn. His Dragon Spirit increased.

"Thanks," Lance said, "now I don't have to slay you." At this, everyone laughed. On the trail that they took, a person, around the age of nineteen jumped out of the trees.

"Um," he started, as he put a finger to his chin, "prepare to, uh, meet your doom?" Then he put his opened hands in front of himself, mumbled something, and blasted himself with dark magic. "Whoa!" He yelled as he flew back against a rock.

"Are yeh a' right," Lawson asked, as he started to walk forward towards him.

"Just peachy," the boy said as he stood up, and jumped up into the air. "Chain of the Dark Arts," he chanted. The enchantment blasted him, but also hit Cameron and Candice. They were chained together, back to back to back.

"Damn it," Cameron yelled.

"Now Cameron, there's no need for that kind of language in this book," Candice said, trying to comfort her.

"Get them out now," Jack growled, preparing a magic attack known as Bloody Hatred. His hands had a bloody-red aura surrounding them

"Alright," he said, as he looked through his spell book for anti-dark spells with his free arm. "Ah, here we are," he said as he cleared his throat, "Angel of the Purified Heart!" But, since he was a darkness shaman, only he escaped. Then he yelled, "Prisoner Lift!" Then the girls escaped.

"Jack NO," Lawson yelled. The boy turned his head slightly to face Jack. Jack's eyes had turned the same white as the Phantom Zeig's had.

"Hey you bloody bastard, take this!" Jack yelled. "Bloody Hatred!" With an outstretched arm, he blasted a blood red curse. The blast hit the boy square in the chest, and sent him flying and spinning in the air again about twenty feet from where he was standing. He hit the rocky ground. Then all but Jack ran towards him. Jack just stood there, staring at the body of the boy. He put his outstretched arm down again. When they were next to him, Lawson knelt next to him. They saw that the boy was covered in blood. It looked as though he was stabbed and shot throughout his entire body.

"Jack," Lawson said in an even deeper voice, "You…killed…my son..;" he choked out as tears came out from his eyes. Squirrels had started to pick up dropped nuts and ran over the dead body. "MURDERER! YOU BACKSTABBING MURDERER I'LL KILL YOU!" Then Lawson pulled out the Killer Bow, loaded an arrow, and shot Jack. Jack used the same nonverbal force that the Phantom had used, and blasted it back towards him. It missed. Then, Lawson pulled out the Killer Axe, and ran towards Jack.

Jack then yelled, "Death Dimension!" The axe strike ran into the dimension hole, along with Lawson himself. Then, the dimension froze time. When time started again, the frozen dimension exploded, throwing the all scratched up and bloody Lawson out. He landed on the hard ground next to his son.

"Jack," Lawson breathed heavily, "hell is our home…Meet me there and we'll…finish what…we…started…" At that he died, and Jack walked a little distance, and disappeared into thin air.

"My fiancé," Cameron said slowly as tears started to fall from her eyes. She was staring at the place Jack had disappeared.

"Alright, it's okay," Candice said as she started to rock her friend.

"Lawson's dead too," Vallen said with a low voice.

"So is his son," Alexis said softly. Lance just stood there, frozen on the spot, and watched. "Moonlight," Alexis chanted. Everyone watched her as she worked. The light was as light as the moon. It hit Lawson, and his son, but nothing happened. Then she chanted even more loudly, "Heavenly Moonlight!" The same thing happened as before except this time, their bodies rose, and disappeared.
