GRAHAM'S POV
It's funny how we think we know so much that what we think we know, clouds our judgment. The good part is that the more clouded our judgment are, the more truth we find.

Who would've thought that the dark king is my brother.. Well, every one knew that, and decided to keep it in the dark. I could choose to hate them now, but there's enough hate going around already, so I'll save it for later.

The dark king decided to face us on his own. This isn't meant to feel wrong because it feels right. But one thing's certain, this is meant to be my fight.

"Go find Aurora, let's get this over with", I said to Eric while drawing my sword out slowly.

"Alright brother, let's make daddy proud". Brandon said pulling his sword out.

AURORA'S POV

I woke up obviously in a cell. My sight was a bit blurry for a few seconds. I lost track of time, how long could I have been here?. The next thought I had was how to get out. I could see my weapons across the not so bright walkway, including the one we needed to stop the dark king.

I took the hair pin in my hair and picked the lock within minutes. Going over to my things I find somebody intercepting me and my weapons. I made out the face to be Kevin's.

"Took you long enough to get out", he said walking slowly towards me. I closed my eyes to take a deep breath before fighting. I get startled when I hear a thud on the floor. Behind Kevin's unconscious body was Eric. I squealed in excitement, hugged and squeezed him. I needed someone I trusted around.

"I'm so glad to see you, how'd you get here so quickly?, and why is Kevin one of the bad guys?", Eric asked looking worried. "It's a long story, we need to help Graham, I'll fill you in on every thing", I said looking at our weapon. The gargoyle venom was infused into an arrow, all we needed was a bow, which wasn't gonna be hard to find. "As for Kevin, he's a traitor, always has been". We took one last look at him and made our way to find Graham.

JESSE'S POV

I stayed a couple hours with Tiana. She seemed pretty okay. But it looked like there was something she wanted to say but didn't know how to, I wouldn't blame her, she's been through a rough time, so I had to keep an open mind.

"Jesse?", Tiana called out in a soft tone. I turned to her with a questioning look. "Aurora said something about me being able to see the future.., like visions. She told me to focus when I'm with you guys, that it could be helpful".

I was stunned by her comment, I always wondered what her powers were. If this was true, then all her scary dreams could be what is to happen. "Tiana, do you remember any of these visions?". I asked in anxiety. "Only glimpses", she said looking down. "Its okay Tee, I can help you focus, but I need you to share them with me". I said with an idea. "How am I supposed to share them with you", Tiana asked.. If Tiana's powers were visions, then it's possible for her to let others see it, though it can be hurtful, she just has to want it.

"Okay Tee", I gestured for her to sit. "Close your eyes, I need you to feel the air around you and the earth beneath you". I sat down infront  of her and held both her hands. "I need you to focus on your glimpses, concentrate, feel my hands and let me in".

It took a while but when I opened my eyes, fear gripped my heart. I was in front of a door, the closer I got to the door, the more fear gripped me. I opened the door and my breath began to tremble, I found Graham in a fight with Brandon.

I went closer and my skin began to crawl, every thing was cold. I saw Aurora and Eric by the balcony at the second floor, Aurora fired an arrow at Brandon and he fell on His knees. Something wasn't right. There was a red door that I was drawn to, the closer I got to it, the weaker I felt. When I got to the door, I fell on my knees, I could barely move. I slowly opened the door and fell on my face, I looked up.. The fear I felt was at its peak, then it was all black.

"Jesse!!, Jesse wake up!!, please", Tiana's soft sobs echoed in my head. She hugged me when I got up, I felt lightheaded, and definitely bled a little from my nose.

"What did you see Jesse?", Tiana asked.
It was your mom, we need to warn the others, the link hasn't been broken", this could be the worst thing today, if we didn't get to them on time, it could be catastrophic.

GRAHAM'S POV

"Why are you doing this?, Why do you choose to be all this?", I ask Brandon with rage and charging towards him, he blocks and stays there, looking me straight in the eye before talking.

"We are all like the bright moon, we all have our darker side. Every one concealed theirs and judged me for mine. My whole life, no one trusted me because it, so where's the harm in embracing what they see me as". He said pushing my hands aside and kicking me in the gut. "The guardians, they cared for you, they were like your family, and you turned on them, why". I asked him. " Your right, the family I never had. Enough chit chat brother, give me the sword and this will all be over".

"I don't know if you noticed, but your gonna have to go through me to get it". I said taking a stance. "So be it", he said stretching his left hand out as if to grab something, I immediately felt a grip on my neck, I started grasping for air. He was telekinetically strangling me. The sword fell to the ground. As Brandon came closer, I was pressed further at the wall still gasping for air. As he picked the sword I searched for anything useful at the moment, I looked up and saw Aurora and Eric at the balcony of the second floor and I felt a sense of relief. Aurora fired the arrow from behind Brandon, the venom was released and his grip on me faded. Brandon dropped the sword and fell on his knees.

I took a deep breath as I panted. I picked up the sword and turned to Brandon, who was weakened to the knees. "You know, all this didn't have to happen, you didn't have to go through all this trouble. You kidnapped Tiana, murdered my father and put my mother in unbelievable pain. No matter what anybody says, you are not my brother, and you never will be". I felt all compassion drain from me as I took the sword slowly to his heart.

Aaaargh!!!. I took the sword away when I heard a scream that wasn't Brandon's. Trying to find where the familiar scream came from the doors swung open as Jesse ran through them. "Graham!!, it's a set up, your mom is here, the link wasn't broken". Jesse yelled at the top of her voice. "Enough!!!", Brandon yelled angrily and we were all sent off our feets to the ground. Darkness crept into the room from the windows, and I realised I wasn't with the sword. All I could think of was my mom and Jesse.

"Jesse!!" I yelled trying to find her, but I found my mom instead. "Mom.., what happened, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but you can't stay with me for too long, Kevin brought me here when we left. I.. I'm sorry I put you through all this", she said starting to sob. "It's okay, I'm going to get you out of here", I told her. " I can't leave with you, Brandon has the sword. Find Jesse, go back to the house", she said while removing her necklace that had a key. "Follow the light, hope cannot be lost", tears rolled down my eyes as she began to hurt again. "I love you and Tiana more than anything, take care of her". "I love you mom", I said stepping away from her.

As I turned, my entire body was numb, it felt like I was losing every part of me. Brandon stood behind Jesse, his left hand wrapped around her neck, the other hand holding the sword behind her. " My life was ruined Graham, how about I show you what that feels like". Before I could move, he stabbed Jesse with the sword and I felt every bit of it. "Nooooo!!!", I fell on my knees, and I felt the wind swirls around the room.

"Graham!!, don't", my mother said turning back to Brandon and Jesse. She did a spell and recreated the sphere putting Jesse and Brandon in different ones, before falling to her knees. She turned to Aurora and told her to get me out before she fell on the floor.

How do you feel when there's nothing left to feel..., what do you do when you know there's nothing else you can do, what do you hope for when every thing you hoped for is taken away, the only meaningful thing I can draw from all this is, just because your breathing.., doesn't mean you're  alive

"Graham!!!!!!!, Graham we need to go!!, it's over there's nothing we can do, Auroras' yelling was blurry in my ears as I starred in doubt.

"You can't keep running forever Graham, not like I need to but I'll find you", Brandon said with a smile. First he took Tiana, we finally had her back, now he taken Jesse and my mom, for good. "Your father's sword is a really fine piece Gray, he wouldn't be so proud you handed it over to me". I felt my knees weaken as he spoke. "Don't call me Gray"

"Graham!, let's go, the spell won't hold him any longer!!"
