*Ava's POV*

Dan couldn't watch Phil die. I wish I hadn't, because it would haunt me for a long time.

When his breathing finally slowed and his heart stopped completely, Chris and I picked up his body and placed it aside, somewhere where Dan wouldn't find it. Marlhy and I would take the bit from the heart that we needed later on, and we'd stitch him back up and give him a proper funeral.

For now, though, we had to comfort Dan without touching him. His life was a trainwreck now - a faerie on his tail, a mother who had beat him for being gay, a dead boyfriend, and a curse that didn't allow human contact.

Dan opened his eyes once we cleared him to and his first gaze was to the pool of blood in front of him. Immediately he began to sob uncontrollably. It was understandable. We sat around him and let him cry. Eventually he seemed to become self-conscious by it, and so we all let loose and joined in.

As if our lives couldn't get worse, at that moment, none other than PJ touched down before us.

"Well, look what we have here! I could hear you all screaming like hyenas all the way from my place!" he said. 

Dan glared at him. "It's your fault my boyfriend is dead! I hate you!"

"It's that kind of talk that cursed you, Daniel, watch it. But you know what? I'm not done with you anyway."

I almost interjected, but Chris stopped me. Instead, I stood up and walked away for a moment, calming down. Still, though, I listened to what he was saying.

"I could curse you so that you can only see him dying when you close your eyes! Or...or...or I could give you eternal life so you'll never meet up with him again. Maybe I could kill the rest of your pathetic friends so you're truly alone. Perhaps I could make your curse worse so nobody can even look at you without it burning!"

PJ kept going on and on, listing all kinds of horrible things he could do. Suddenly, I had an idea.

I found Phil's bloodied knife in the grass where he'd dropped it. I picked it up and turned it over in my hand, thinking. If I did anything bad, it'd reset my fairy progress to zero and I'd have to start over, go through all that pain again.

But I wasn't going to let my worries overcome Dan's.

Sneaking up behind PJ, I shot a devilish grin at the other three before stealthily grabbing PJ's wing and slicing through it, leaving a long gash.

He screamed. Falling to the ground, he seized up, allowing me an opportunity to destroy him some more. I cut wildly through his wings until they no longer glowed and he was on the last limbs of life.

The other three stood motionless as what I had done registered. As a final note, I spat, "Asshole," to him before stabbing him directly in the back, right where all his wings connected. "Veren birtyo, daed min," I added, causing his lifeless form to vanish into thin air.

None of the others spoke.

"You're welcome," I beamed.

This still isn't over dudes, there'll be a few chapters left, maybe 2-5 idk

I'm gonna miss this so much wow
