12 opened his eyes as much as he could. He forced his head round and noticed 13, and next to her were 14, then 15 then 16. 12 pushed his head the opposite way were 9 was.

Click. 3 or 4 are awake! 12 thought to himself. 3 walked in, but he wasn't controlling his body; his eyes were worried and terrified. He thought he was dreaming like he had.

12 realised he still had the talisman, and he knew that soul that was in him was not good. 12 hid the talisman in his arms. 3's body turned to him. It lifted a hand. 12 noticed 3 asking what was happening through his eyes. Suddenly 12 was lifted into the air by a force powered by something inside 3. Suddenly he felt something hit his back like a whip! Searing and fear flowed through his body as one hit at a time thwacked his back with incredible strength, 12 thought his back was going to rip open, if he was lucky! 12 wasn't going to let go of the talisman; it contained pure evil which would cause worse than the pain he felt now.

"No!" 2 yelled who hadn't yet been infected. And must have heard the brain waves of 12's pain that 12 had accidently transmitted off. 2 grabbed 3's arm and tried to pull it down, 12's mouth was wrenched open and his eyes were flickering madly but he wasn't going to let go, even if he died which was probably whatever-it-is-inside-them's intension. "12 let go!" 2 yelled. "I'll get it and 3's body will never have it!" 12 decided he would drop it, but as he did he himself fell down too. Suddenly green smoke appeared out of his mouth; he was conscious but could not move. His head fell to the side where 9 was but all that was there was 9's fabric skin.

"The dead soul..."2 muttered to himself staring at 12.

Suddenly more pain came as his skin began to rip apart. 12's body started to change and leave as he knew.

Talisman 12 thought to 2

"But...I can't" 2 said with a voice nearly crying.

Trust...give 12 managed to think to 2

"But..."

Trust!

2 rolled the talisman to 12 who held onto it as he was again pulled into the air. 2 grabbed him. 12 tried to get him off so he could stay. But 2 seemed to know what he was doing and grabbed 3 too. 12 looked around; the room had changed it was black with nothing. He was being teleported.
