Michael was lead down one of the dark corridors following Frankie, and closely backed up by two of his men pointing menacing guns in Michael's direction. Whenever Michael slowed down, he got a jab in the back by one of the guns.

"Hurry up!" Mr Big ordered.

"Where are you taking me?" Michael inquired. He gasped in pain as he received a sharp poke in the back again. Frankie soon stopped in front of a large grey door with black lettering marked 'office'.

"Ok, listen up. Two minutes, ok? Two. But my men are on guard, so if you dare untie her at all, then they'll kill her, you got it?" Frankie confirmed.

Michael gasped, then replied with an angry nod, and walked past Frankie with an evil glare into the room, the two guards following behind him.

Michael was saddened. There lay on the cold, stone floor was Katie, shaking and sobbing, her hands and legs still bound by the rope. She rolled over to catch sight of Michael, and her face almost beamed in relief.

"Oh, my poor baby" he said, as he walked to her and knelt down beside her. Katie mumbled, trying to tell him something. He almost pulled the gag from her face, but restrained himself, remembering Frankie's harsh instructions. Instead, Michael simply stroked her beautiful, blonde hair.

"Katie, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault" he whispered, cradling her into his strong, loving arms. She shook her head in disagreement.

"I'm going to get you out of this…you'll see. Don't worry Katie, it's all going to be fine" he comforted her, beginning to choke up tears. He looked down to see Katie's face was now streaming with tears. He wiped them away and softly kissed her forehead. Katie let out a few whimpers; clearly she was terrified.

Michael stayed, cradling her for a while and rocking her gently. He wished he could untie her and just carry her home, anything to have her safe.

"My god, you're absolutely freezing" Michael said, feeling her forehead and sensing her trembles. She nodded in agreement. Suddenly the door opened to reveal Mr Big.

"You're time is up! Time for my deal" he said, beckoning him forward. Michael sighed.

He gave Katie a soft kiss on her forehead and lay her gently back on the floor. He then took off his smart white jacket and laid it over Katie in an attempt to keep her warm, and tucked it around her. Katie lay and sobbed on the floor as Michael took one last glance, and left the room.

"You're sick, Frankie. How could you? HOW COULD YOU?" Michael yelled, lashing out at him. One of the men hit Michael over the head with his gun, sending him to the floor. Blood spat out of the newly formed gash on his forehead. Frankie bent down and pulled at his hair.

"The deal! Remember? Get moving or Katie dies!" Frankie threatened. Michael staggered to his feet whilst his men grabbed both his arms and dragged him out into the open again. Dozens of guards were waiting, all holding Mike at gunpoint. He looked around again, wiping the blood from his head with his red sleeve.

"Now Michael, if you want your precious Katie to be safe, then I suggest you listen. What I want from you is very simple" Frankie said.

"Anything, just anything. I give in. Just don't hurt Katie, please!" Michael begged.

"Ok, if you say so. I want your magic"

Michael paused for a moment.

"But Frankie…please, not that, I'll give you anything but that. Those powers…help me to live" Michael admitted.

"Oh, what a shame. Would you REALLY put yourself before Katie?" Frankie questioned him. Michael sighed.

"I…I can't" Michael sobbed. Frankie had Michael mentally trapped.

"Fine, I guess we're going to need more persuasion" and with that, Frankie clicked his fingers as two of his guards disappeared. Moments later they arrived back, dragging Katie with them. They had untied her legs so she could walk with them. As soon as they neared Frankie, they threw her on the floor between Frankie and Michael. Frankie then took out one of his injection needles and held it to Katie's neck, leaving Katie screaming in fear.

"NO!" Michael yelled, and he tried to run to Katie but was seized by Frankie's men.

"Do you really want me to do it? If you agree, I won't hurt Katie, understood?"

"Fine…" Michael breathed. And as Frankie held out his hand, Michael shook it, but as he did he felt all of his magic drain from his body. An immense blue light surrounded them both, and when the job was done, Michael clutched at his stomach and fell on his knees.

"Michael!" yelled Katie, who had now been untied. She ran to Michael and rested her arms around him. He writhed in unbearable pain and dropped fully onto the floor. Katie sobbed and hugged him, kissing his cheek and shaking his shoulder. Frankie's eyes were glowing an electric shade of violet; Michael's magic now belonged to him.

"Ahh…" Michael moaned, in pain.

"Michael, please…it's ok. It's going to be ok. I love you" sobbed Katie. And she watched in fear as Frankie stared at the two of them on the floor. Frankie then clucked his fingers and made an order.

"Lock the doors…"
