Author's Notes: Finally the next chapter is in and it's a bomb shell! Thank you for reading, and please let me know what you think!


(Back with Will...)

He was in a fit of nail biting, anxiety…

Never in all his life had Will, have someone not like him!

It was unheard of! He was charming, funny, adorable, and likeable, his grandmother even called him a tease once! But this Bobby kid seemed to be immune to his charms. Not only that, but he made a task of picking on him through the rest of the morning.

Will tried his best not to growl as another spit ball landed in his hair, he had no doubt that his attacker was none other than Bobby Downing.

Icarus couldn't help but laugh, it was a wonder the boy hadn't snapped yet, but he knew he would eventually: especially at the rate this was going.

He wanted to punch the jerk, and Will had never wanted to hurt another kid in his life. Finally the lunch bell rang.

"Alright class it's time for lunch, and then we go straight to recess." Mrs. Wade announced. "Now everyone line up quietly, and no shoving or I'll make you sit in desk order."

William followed Malia and got in line; he was surprised to feel a tap on his shoulder. He turned and his heart skipped a beat.

"Hey I'm Hannah." Hannah said with a smile.

"Hi…" Will said rather dumbly, despite himself.

"So I was wondering if I could get in front of you so I could sit by Malia, because she seems so cool, and I'd really like to be friends with her." Hannah said shyly as she shuffled her feet.

"I…I...I" Will was speechless! He was speechless!

"How about you cut in front of me?" Malia said coming to his rescue. "Cause Will's my friend too, and anyone who wants to be my friend has to get along with my other friends too."

"Okay!" Hannah said happily. "Well Will, I hope we all become the best of friends." She squealed giving him a hug happily before getting in front of Melia.

"Yeah m…me…too" Will stuttered.

'She hugged me!' Will was floating on a cloud.

"Oh yeah smoothed!" Icarus teased as he filed in behind him.

Will was snapped out of his dreaminess as he watched the boy take his place beside him. "You're sitting beside me?" he asked.

"Yes, you're a spawn as am I. therefor you're the only one worthy of my time." Icarus answered simply.

"Oh…okay." Will shrugged and followed the line as it began to move, and in what seemed like no time at all; the line twisted, and turned through the halls leading them into the school cafeteria. Will suddenly remembered that his mother said to pay the nice lady the money for his lunch. So naturally he pulled out the change so he wouldn't forget.

"Hey brat what's that you got there?" A very familiar voice snapped as he shoved his way in between him and Icarus.

Will turned around and wished he hadn't. "It's my Lunch money Bobby." He snapped at the boy. It wasn't that he wanted to be nasty towards the child. he was just simply getting tired of his never ending oppression.

"Not anymore it isn't!" Bobby jeered and snatched away the change.

"Hey that's mine!" William cried trying to snatch it back.

"What are you dumb?" Bobby teased. "I said it's not yours anymore!" He shoved Will backwards causing him to fall on to the floor…HARD!

Tears threatened to spill from Will's eyes.

"Leave him alone Bobby!" Hannah yelled, doing her best to try and defend her new friends.

"No this punk here thinks he can talk to you, and stare at you in class; well now he's going to pay." Bobby snapped and started ripping the money into small pieces onto the floor. "Seriously Bobby this is why I never have any friends!" Hannah wined. "You chase them all away!"

Will wanted to run, and hide; to fall into a dark hole somewhere and just die! "Awe is the little mama's boy going to cry!" Bobby teased.

"Leave him alone you jerk!" Malia yelled. She knew she should have stood up for Will from the beginning, but she didn't want to offend Hannah. So she waited to see if Hannah could control her cousin herself. But now it was obvious that Bobby was the controlling one.

"What's the matter Willy? Uh can't fight your own battles so you have your girlfriend do it for you!?"

Will couldn't hold back the tears any longer, this had to be the most embarrassing moment of his life; a single tear ran down his face.

'Are you really going to let some mortal see you cry?' a voice asked. It was Icarus speaking through his mind.

Their eyes met.

'I can't fight him, I promise mother…'Will tried to reason.

'Do you always listen to what your mommy tells you to do?' Icarus jeered.

'Yes…'

'Fight back you coward!' Icarus shouted to him mentally.

'No I won't hurt him!'

'You don't have to fight him to teach him a lesson!' Icarus lectured. 'Heck you don't even have to touch him.'

'I don't understand.' Will looked up at him obviously confused.

'Your father really hasn't taught you anything has he?' Icarus snapped.

'No…' Will bowed his head in shame.

'Then maybe it's time I did.'

Icarus' words made Will's eyes widen.

'What do you mean?'

'Just let me drive!' Icarus ordered.

Malia was barley ready for what happened next; no she never saw it coming!

For one small moment Will looked as if he was going to cry, but instead his golden eyes began to glow a strange fiery red.

Bobby's eyes widen in shock, and perhaps even fear as the world around him turned gray, like a black and white film, and a large monstrous red triangle beast loomed over him.

Malia took one look at Icarus, and froze, his eyes were glowing the same fiery red. It was then that she knew what was going on.

Icarus was possessing Will, and using his powers of dreaming walking to teach Bobby a lesson he wouldn't soon forget.

'What are you doing?' Will screamed internally, he couldn't move; it was like he was a prisoner of his own mind.

'I'm showing you what you can really do.' Icarus snapped. 'Now watch and learn.'

Malia watched as two very different worlds flashed before her eyes.

In the real world Will hadn't even moved from his spot on the floor, but in the black and white world something much horrible was happening.

"So you think it's funny to steal from people uh?" William flinched as the mouth of the triangular beast formed the words. It was his voice, but he wasn't in control.

No Icarus was, and Icarus wasn't playing nice.

Bobby began to tremble in both worlds as he looked up at the beast in obvious fear.

"Well now I'm gonna steal something from you, and believe me kid it's gonna be a lot more valuable than some petty cash!" The beast growled.

"W…hat, what are…you going to do to me." Bobby asked as fearful tears began to run down his face.

"I'm going to make you wish you were never born!" The triangle beast said and charged. Suddenly Bobby let out a blood curling scream.

The entire cafeteria froze as they watch Bobby fall to the ground and start swatting at an invisible object.

"No not my eyes, please don't steal my eyes!" Bobby screamed as he swatted at the air.

Everyone gave him a weird look, all but Malia who seemed to be the only one who could see what was really happening.

The beast drew out his claws and scooped out the boy's eyes, one by, one; laughing manically.

Bobby screamed so loud that William's ears hurt.

"Bobby sweetie what's going on?" Mrs. Wade rush to the boy's aid.

"No please my eyes my eyes!" Bobby was crying now.

"Is there something in your eyes sweetie" Mrs. Wade asked then she looked to Hannah. "What happened, and why is William on the floor?"

"Bobby pushed him down." Hannah cried, "And then he started screaming about his eyes."

Mrs. Wade nodded. "Alright well I'm going to take Bobby to the nurse." She looked at William puzzled. "Are you alright sweetie?"

Malia watched in horror as Will stood up and smiled. "Yeah I'm fine, But Bobby tore up my money and now I can't buy my lunch."

Mrs. Wade notices the ripped up pieces of money on the ground, but she doesn't seem to see the fact that the boy's eyes are still glowing a fiery red. In fact Malia seems to be the only one that really sees what's going on. "You poor thing, here you can borrow some from me, I'll let your mother know it wasn't your fault." She handed him some money.

"Thanks Mrs. Wade you're the best!" William smiled.

'Will doesn't sound that suck up!' Malia snapped mentally at Icarus. But Icarus was still far too busy torturing poor Bobby to hear her.

"Now are you going to pick on me again you little brat!" The Triangle monster asked with a hiss.

"No please I'm sorry, Please just stop; make it stop!" Bobby screamed.

"Fine but be warned next time I won't stop, not even after they toss you into a strait jacket and throw away the key." The best warned. "Got it!"

"Yes, I promise I'll never pick on you again." Bobby screamed. "Just please give me back my eyes!"

"Fine you cry baby here you go!" the triangle best through the eyes back into their sockets. Bobby blinked and the black and white world was gone.

"Alright Mr. to the Nurse with you, and then the principal's office." Mrs. Wade said as she pulled him along.

"But I didn't do anything!" Bobby gasped in disbelief, and tried to pull away; but Mrs. Wade would hear none of it.

"You ripped up William's money and pushed him. That's called bullying Mr. and I don't tolerate bullies!"

"But he ripped out my eye!" Bobby argued.

"Your eyes are in your head! No stop lying!" Mrs. Wade snapped.

"I am so sorry about him." Hannah apologized as her cousin was pulled out of sight. "He always tries to ruin any chance I have with friends."

"It's okay, it's not your fault" William said. "Come on let's get lunch."

Melia glared Icarus down. 'You had your fun now let him go!' she screamed with her thoughts.

But again Icarus paid her no mind.

William looked around suddenly able to move on his own accord. "What is this place?" he asked Icarus.

"This is the mindscape." Icarus explained as he appeared before him.

"Mindscape?" Will asked confused.

"It's the dream world." Icarus snapped with a roll of his eyes. "Basically this is your kingdom, you're a dream demon, and this is your realm. You can do anything here." William watched as Icarus began to float within the mindscape.

"And here's the best part, since you're a dream demon, if you can do it in here, you can do it out there too! Your power is only limited by your own imagination!" Icarus exclaimed.

"Really I'm that powerful?" Will asked in disbelief.

"No not yet but you can be, and I'll help you; if you want." Icarus offered.

"But how are you even here?" Will asked. "You're not a dream demon."

"No I'm not; I'm in your head kid." Icarus explained. "You really need to learn how to block your mind. You're an open book."

"I try, but it's hard." Will complained.

"I can help you." Icarus urged. "Think about it Malia can only teach you magic, but if you want to outdo your dad your gonna have to know how to be a real demon too."

"How'd you know about me and my…" Will began.

"Kid you're an open book; remember?" Icarus reasoned.

"Oh right…" Will looked unsure. "Can you really help me be a better demon?"

"Yep, I'll show you everything you need to know kid." Icarus assured him.

"And what do you get out of it!" Will snapped crossing his arms.

Now that threw Icarus off guard. "What?"

"I'm not stupid, you're trying to make a deal with me, and my father always told me there are no freebies in deal making!"

Icarus smiled. "Alright you caught me. There is one thing I want." The boy admitted.

"What?" Will asked curious now, what could Icarus possibly want from him.

"My father cursed me to never have the power to kill him." Icarus explained. "I'm more like a slave to him then a son. All I want is for you to rid me of him on day, can you do that for me?"

"You want me to kill your father?" Will was stunned.

"Hey, he's already tried to kill you once." Icarus snapped as if it was no big deal.

"Lord Bares is your father!" Will back up slowly.

"Hey kid you can trust me, we both want the same thing." Icarus reasoned.

"Your father wants me dead, but…" Will trailed off, he wasn't sure he could kill Bares even if he wanted to, after all he was a Lord, and they were supposed to be really strong.

"Hey, I'm not asking you to kill him any time soon, I know it takes time and experience to take down a Lord, besides it's not just you he wants. Your Mom's in danger too remember."

It was Icarus last words that hit home.

"And didn't you promise to protect her from anything!" Icarus smiled. "I can teach you how, and all you have to do is kill Bares…someday."

Will didn't even think it over, this was his mom after all, and he would do anything for her.

Even if it meant killing another being…

'No one is taking her away from me!' he swore.

"So do we have a deal kid?" Icarus asked; extending out a hand engulfed with red fire.

"Deal!" Will agreed and shook; his own hand burned a fiery blue.

The flames mixed, and the deal was struck.

William didn't know it then, but this one deal would mark the beginning of the journey; to his true destiny!
