I raced out of the portal there it was, the high school. Nothing seemed to be happening. Thunder rumbled. I cursed. "furies, I probably jinxed it," I muttered. And sadly I was right, because suddenly, lightening struck the school, and it burst into flames. What? Is enjoying a bit of peace too much to ask? I laughed to myself. It always has been. I stopped running to access the situation. This wasn't a normal storm. I also highly doubt Zeus would have caused it. The only other option was: I cursed again. Venti. I ran headfirst into the burning school. Some teachers cried out, "what the hell are you doing!" I ignored them. The only thing that mattered was will.

Someone needs to kill me dead. Next time I need to punish someone, I'll make them watch a full game of volleyball. And make them pretend to enjoy it. Actually if someone could pretend to enjoy it, I would give them a medal. Why do I do this? I buried my face in my hands. I began remembering New York and my hidden memories. I had named that accursed apartment the place where it's hidden, because I lost something very dear to me that day. I wonder why the eidolon had mentioned that place. My worst memory lived there. And it was the beginning of the Octavian's tyranny over me.

Where is he! Where the Frick is he. I went to the gym escaping flames that seemed to popping out of no where, and screaming people. But no will. I kicked open the gym doors, and a blast of carbon monoxide hit my face. I fell to my knees coughing. The world began spinning around me. The smoke was alive it was doing this on purpose. I may be too weak, but it was worth a try. I opened a hole of shadows and forced all the venti down. I kneeled and fell into the shadows myself. I cried out and swiped to fly back into the living, but it was of no avail. Numbness slowly moved up my legs. If it reached my heart I would lose all emotion and melt into the shadows... The numbness reached the edge of my chest... As a last resort I reached up. Will. I thought of his bright sunny hair and the way he walked into a room and everything got a thousand times more radiant. He added light in my life too. I gritted my teeth. I... Will... Not... Lose my sunshine. The shadows expelled me like the bright thoughts were too much to bear. The toxic smoke was mostly gone although I could still smell it. Lying under the half collapsed and melted bleachers was...

"WILL!" I hobbled towards him. His normally blond hair was streaked with soot and so was his face. I reached down to his neck to feel his pulse. To my surprise and terror, my fingers went through him. Not good. I had absolutely no substance. I needed to summon Jules-Albert, and try not to die. I closed my eyes and concentrated. For will. FOR WILL. The skeleton  finally appeared, and there was an F-5++++++++ tornado spinning in my head. Damn my stupid limited powers. Note to self: get stronger. It slung will over one shoulder and slung me over another. Thank god it worked. I felt the tingling start in my chest, and I began getting warmer, or as warm as I'll ever be. One of my hands became solid. I started stroking will's hair. Will you're the reason I'm alive. You can fight the poisonous gases. Please wake up.
