Mal's P.O.V

After I went to Cameron's house, I went home, and to sleep to maybe help Mike. I know this wouldn't help with the stress, but maybe I could help. When I woke up in our subconscious, Mike was no where to be seen. I looked for what felt like hours until Zoey woke me up. I wasn't scared, I just didn't know who It was.

" What are you doing here, peon?" I asked, groggily.

" Just checkin' on ya!" She said, cheerfully. God she was annoying.

" Check on me later, red!" I said, putting a pillow over my head. I really don't sleep ofen, but when I do, its for a long time. Maybe if I scare her she'll leave me alone.

" Mal, this wont help you. You have to keep your mind OFF Mike." she said. Like she cared about me! Yea right, I bet she's just worried about her 'Mikey-Wikey'.

" I DO know this you know." I remarked, still groggy from sleeping.

" I know, just..." she started. She mumbled something else but I couldn't hear it.

" What?" I asked.

" Nothing..." she said.

" Why do you even care?" I asked.

" I just don't want Mike to get hurt even more than he is," she said, clearly getting annoyed. I smiled at this.

" No, you just don't want Mike's body to be hurt, well, it already is." I said raising my arm.

" Well, yea but..." she said, trying to find words. I chuckled at my accomplishment.

" Oh Zoey, you humor me," I said.

" Jerk!" she shouted. I do enjoy a good 'name-calling'.

" Brat!"

" Evil!"

" Stupid!"

" Rat!"

" Indie!"

" Grrr..." she growled, letting me know I won.

" Too easy," I said, laughing.

" I hope Cam's done soon..." she sighed.

" Me too. Oh look, we have something in common!" I said, sarcastically.

" Why do you even care about Mike anyway?" she started.

" I don't! I.. I just want Nathan gone for good!" I said, a little to defensively.

" You do have a heart!" she shouted. " Mal has feelings! Mal has feelings!" she chanted.

Mikes P.O.V

Nathan... I thought I'd never hear that name again!

" B-but I killed you?" I said still confused.

" Ah, yes, you did. What did you think would happen when Mal couldn't take all that anger and pain anymore? BAM another me!" he said. " Kinda like a resurrection!" he grinned.

Just then, Vito came bursting over and tied me up.

" Veto! what are you doing?!" I shouted.

" I'm sorry dude," he said. I didn't understand until I saw a shock collar around his neck.

" Veto, please don't listen to him.." I started. He didn't reply afterword and took me to a place far away where there was a huge boulder. The same boulder Mal had kept me in All Stars. Veto tied me up, again, but this time, he kept watch over me. This gave me lots of time to think.

' But.. when I killed Nathan the first time...'

Flashback

" You can't win Nathan!" 11 year old Mal said.

" Oh Mal, I already have," Nathan said.

" Mal!" Mike shouted and burst through the door with Chester and Svetlana.

" Mike!?" Mal and Nathan shouted almost in perfect sync.

" No, but I chained you up... I- I" Nathan stuttered.

" It's over Nathan, I won." Mike said, smiling.

" No! You can't get rid of me! I'll always be here!" Nathan shouted, turning into black mist. It didn't disappear though, like it should have. Instead it crashed right into Mal, but Mike left long before it did. Mal shrieked in pain and his bright brown eyes turned black.

" Told you," Mal said in Nathan's voice.
