16.

I ran as fast as I could through the halls, trying to take the same way Harry and I took before. But it was no use, everything looked so alike that I decided to take the way my heart told me to take.

At another split I quickly took the right way but as I was running I looked back thinking I should have taken the left one instead. And just then I bumped into something and fell on the floor. When I looked up there was nothing to be seen that could have standing in my way.

'Tom?' Dougie's voice spoke as he suddenly turned visible again. I jumped up and hugged him.

'Thank god I found you!'

'What's wrong? What are you doing here alone, it's dangerous. Where are Danny and Harry?'

'She froze Harry' I said to his shoulder

'But I took Eve out, how can he be frozen?' Dougie asked confused

'Not Eve, Vicky' I said finally letting go of Dougie

'Vicky? As in Danny's sister?' he asked and I nodded

'And Danny is alone with her?' I nodded again

I saw how Dougie's face was taken over by worry

'Do you remember the way?' he asked panicky

'I think so..'

'Good, climb on my back then we move faster'

I did what he ordered me to do. Judging by everyone's reaction when they saw or heard of Vicky she's not the one you want to mess with and Danny is alone with her.. What have I done? I never should have left him!

Dougie ran with me on his back and as he was moving so fast I felt like I was on a rollercoaster. When we came across a split he slowed down to let me say which way he should take. I just hope I remember it right and we don't end up somewhere completely wrong.

That last thought disappeared out of my head as I saw bright light at the end of the hall. We were there, I remember it from last time I ran here.

Dougie stopped when he got sight of Danny and Vicky and let me go of his back. Danny was if possible more paler than before I left. His skin was almost transparent but around his eyes it was red and he was sweating. He was standing with his back to us and couldn't see us.

Vicky stood across the room but now she was holding a knife. She smile when she saw us which made Danny turn around.

Dougie wanted to step in and helped but Danny quickly yelled: 'Dougie don't!'

But it was too late. With the last step Dougie made he was standing in Vicky's range and she took over his power of speed.

Suddenly she was holding Danny. It was like she was hugging him, with one arm around him. But as she pulled away she also took out the knife that she had stabbed in Danny's stomach.

Both Dougie and my eyes widened and the air was pushed out of our longs. This time Vicky looked shocked at the with blood covered knife and then at her brother who was still standing with his back to us.

'I'm sorry' she said genuine, let the knife fall out of her hands and ran away with the wind.

Danny slowly turned around with his hand trembling before his wound. I quickly ran to him but Dougie was too shocked to move. It was because he made that one step that she copied his power and stabbed Danny. It happened too quickly, even for him..

As I was running to Danny he coughed up blood and collapsed but I caught him just in time. With tears in my eyes I slowly laid him down on the floor.

'I.. I think.. I'm going.. to die' Danny stuttered

'No. No you can't die. You can't leave me!' I cried, letting go all of my tears

'I'm.. sorry'

'No please, don't go, please!'

Danny moved his head to Dougie who was still paralyzed

'Tell him.. it's not.. his fault'

I sniffed and nodded. Then Danny moved his head to the other side and held out his hand to the ball of ice where Harry was captured in. Slight flames came out of his palms and the ice started to melt.

'Danny don't. You need your energy' I said and stopped him.

Danny looked at me again and managed to smile. 'You're beautiful.. you know.. that?'

I shook my head in disbelieve. We can't be having this conversation right now. He can't say goodbye!

'Well you.. are'

'No Danny, we can save you! There has to be someone around that can help' I said desperate but Danny took my hand and looked me straight in the eyes and said

'It's ok Tom.. let me.. go'

'No, I can't let you go. I won't! Danny?' I asked when I noticed he didn't respond anymore

'Danny answer me!' I yelled shaking him a little but it was no use, he was gone.

I started crying hysterically and shouted 'NOOOOOOO!'

After yelling my longs out I fell down on his blooded chest with my head and hugged him tight.

'Is he dead?' I heard Vicky ask
