Sky's pov

  Taxey ran towards Mitch, her eye showing a devious glint. Mitch tried to get out of her way but she was too fast, she knocked him to the ground. He had the wind knocked out of him and she stood over him ,looking for something. I didn't know what she was looking for until I realized, his rose.

"Ty! Seto! Help him!" I cried out, the two immediately ran to his side.

  Ty grabbed Taxey's arm and somehow managed to throw her over his shoulder. She landed on her side but unscathed. I got onto my feet and ran to Mitch's side, he was still trying to get his breath back. I looked back at where Taxey was, Seto was dodging her attacks at him pretty well.

"Come on Mitch." I helped him onto his feet.

  I had his arm wrapped around my shoulders and I was leading him to the painting.

"NOOOOOO!" Taxey screamed and lunged herself at us.

  She caught us both by her grasp. Mitch and I struggled under her but she had the superior strength.

"M-Mitch, give m-me your l-lighter!" I commanded and Mitch nodded.

  He fished around his pocket and found the lighter. He immediately gave it to me and I flicked a fire to life. Taxey looked at me fearfully and got off of us.

"H-hey there Sky, j-just put down the l-lighter." She showed pure fear, I never thought she could even show fear.

"What? Scared of a little flame?" I taunted her, huge mistake.

  She ran at me and she pinned me on the wall.

"Sky!" Mitch cried out.

  He ran up at her and tried to get her off me, but she just shoved him aside. I saw some red flecks of blood fall onto the ground, Taxey managed to scratch him.

"H-help!" Ty and Seto tried to help but she just kicked them away.

"Sky, just put down the flame and escape this place with me. We'll be happy out there together." She asked me, the insane glint was still in her eye.

"I," I raised the flame to her face," said NO!" I slashed the flame down her torso.

  Her eye widened in shock and she uttered inaudible whispers. She looked at me with anger and fear, and she quickly took my rose.

"W-wait no!" But it was too late, she ripped off every single petal of my rose.

  Every single golden petal fell to the ground, but I didn't feel pain yet. She smiled and started to laugh maniacally, as her body started to shrivel and blacken.

"I hope you enjoy your new home!" Were her last words as she crumbled up into a pile of ash.

  I stared at what remained of her, my breath becoming raspy.

"Sky! Are you alright?" Mitch ran to me, the cut on his palm visible now.

  I didn't answer him, I just stood there staring at my rose. Mitch followed my gaze and gasped at what he saw.

"Sk-Sky, y-you'll be alright. Ok, we'll get you out of here." Mitch grabbed my hand but I didn't move.

"I-I can't, not anymore." I replied.

"B-but why?! If we just get you to reality now you'll be alright!" He tried to smile but he faltered.

  I sighed and looked back at his injured hand, and looked into my pocket for it. Once I found it I gave it to him, my handkerchief. Mitch's eyes widened in surprise.

"N-no Sky I can't possibly take that-"

"Take it, cover your wound. Also this is for you to remember me by." I cut him off, shoving the handkerchief into his hand.

  Mitch hesitantly covered his wound, tarnishing the handkerchief. I looked at Mitch as he did so, tears were threatening to come out. I then started to feel a bit tired, my eyelids becoming droopy. I yawned and Mitch noticed.

"Sky, come on let's go." He grabbed my hand but I stayed rooted in place.

"I'm sorry Mitch, but I can't. I'm dying." I said in a grim tone.

  Mitch looked at me, worried and I started to pull him towards the painting.

"Ty, Seto, it was nice to meet you two." I faced towards them.

"Wait, Sky what are you doing?" Seto asked, Ty following behind him.

  I didn't answer, I didn't need to. Without warning, I pushed them into the painting even with their protests. Ty and Seto somehow went through the painting, I don't know how but they did.

"Sky please just come-" I pushed Mitch into the painting.

  I watched as the three went back to reality, my hand resting on the painting, not going through it. I guess I can't go back anymore, Seto and Ty still had a chance since they managed to keep their true rose intact. My true rose was destroyed and so I lost my only chance, I sighed.

"Mitch, Ty, Seto... Please stay safe out there." I closed my eyes and slowly descended towards the floor.

  My limbs were losing their strength, and I was allowing them to. I already got them back to reality, and now it's my time to rest. Goodbye, my friends.
