ZOEY'S Point Of View

Damien's eyes started to flutter, making me tense up. With a gasp, his eyelids opened, also making him spring up in the bed. Hg e was panting in short breaths, like he was hypervenilating.

"Zoey!" He squealed.

"Damien. t's okay. I'm here." I soothed.

"What happened?" He asked, blinking rapidly.

"You passed out.." I stuttered, "What happened to you?"

"I started feeling dizzy.." He moaned in pain, "Then I saw Jack, and Nyx."

I smiled slightly, "What did they say?"

"That the only way Jack will come back to life is if I kill myself to see him." I felt my eyes get huge, "But she said, when I do so, we will both come back as Red Fledgings. Nyx said if I don't do it, Jack will be there for all eternity."

"Then, you have to do it. You have to save him." I heard myself murmur.

"I know. Zoey. Burn me." He pleaded.

"I can't do that!" I practically yelled.

"Then, Shaunee will." He roared.

I took three deep breaths, and said, "Fire, burn." I stared at Damien. He screeched, and he was dead.

"What did I just do?!" I said to myself. I'd just killed Damien.

I am the monster. What if they don't come back to life? What if Nyx trapped them both away forever? No. Nyx wouldn't allow that. I stood up, and walked towards the Dining Hall, to face to mass of anger- my friends have building up for me.
