Garrett gulped, watching as they all closed in on him. He looked around for something to help him.
"You know, if I wanted to kill you all for a simple flint and steel I already have… Then I would've already been finished." Garrett turned around and jumped onto the windowsil, smashing the window to pieces. "I hope you all understand." he spoke, making eye contact with Jesse, while backing out. "I hope you can piece the puzzle together without me. We had a nice hour together. I'll see you all real soon. Just don't be afraid of the new fire spirit that lurks within." Garrett smirked, lighting his hand ablaze one last time.
"Garrett, no, don't!" Sparklez shouted, and he shoved past his friends, trying to reach out to his fire-wielding friend, but he was too late. Garrett had fallen, and his body went up in a puff of smoke as soon as he hit the ground. What no one knew, was the fact that Garrett had sacrificed himself so they could live on. There would be no more dying. And boy… Cassie Rose hated that much more than anything else. Out of the corner of her eye, behind her, she noticed a ghost Garrett arise from the fire and give her the finger before disappearing.
Jesse couldn't believe what just happened. Garrett, the White Pumpkin, gave up. But that wasn't right… Garrett would keep on killing others to get the flint and steel. He wouldn't give up so easily.
"Jesse, it wasn't Garrett!" Sparklez exclaimed, making everyone jump. His friends stepped back; Sparklez was a little scary when angry. "If he wanted to kill us all for the flint and steel, then he would've done it with fire! He would've just burnt us to death then taken the flint and steel from whoever has it!" Sparklez stood up, grabbing Jesse by the front of her armor. "If he wanted to kill us, then we would already be dead." He glared, before turning around and shoving her back into the wall. "Who knows- the White Pumpkin could still be one of us, and Garrett made it a lot harder for them to kill us with the cover-up. If it were Garrett, no one else would be dying." Sparklez began walking, but stopped at the door. "But if someone else dies to the White Pumpkin… then I think there's some explaining to make to Garrett's friends back in his own home. Who knows? He could've had a family. A pet wolf too, or a pet ocelot. They're all going to wonder why he never came home. And-" Sparklez motioned to Jesse and the group of friends around her. "He probably could've helped you home." He shrugged, before leaving the room and closing the door behind him. He limped to the library, hoping to find comfort in the warm fire that was in there.
Jesse took her group of friends off to the side, near the fire. Petra was the first to say anything.
"Do you think Sparklez was lying when he said that Garrett would have helped us home?" she asks, looking at them.
"Well, those two seemed pretty close in the short amount of time." Lukas answered.
"Of course they would've been close!" Ivor sighs. "I mean, Garrett saved Sparklez from dying." He pointed out.
"You think we pretty much threw away our only ticket home?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that." Garrett's voice whispered, and Petra's eyes widened. Jesse turned around to face a soul standing in the firepit. Garrett's soul.
Woah. Lotta action in one chapter.
I'm sorry for not updating on this one as much as I should. I just kinda lost interest in the idea. It's probably going to be finished in less than five chapters. I'm so sorry that it's short too...
But hey! I hoped you enjoyed it!
Thank you all so much for reading and I will see YOU, in the next chapter…
CIAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
