CHAPTER 25:

Middle of No where

Vlad's POV

00000000000000000000000000000

Mac… No… please!

I could feel the tears swell up in my eyes. I haven't cried in a long time…

…. It sucks.

"Mac," I said, my tears fell down my cheeks, mixing with my scrapes and it burned, "please, don't do it!"

He started to cry too. "Don't w- worry Dad, you'll be f- fine," he said, giving me a weak smile.

"Why? Why me? WHY DID YOU DO IT MAC?" The tears were streaming now.

"Why? You ask me why? I used to hate you, you know,"

"THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO IT?"

"because… I care about you Dad. You're the coolest Dad in the world and as evil as you are, you deserve to live. Never forget me Dad, because I know that I'll never forget you…I love you Dad…"

That little speech hit me. I bit my lower lip and cried even harder. I couldn't breathe.

Trey came out of the shadows. His eyes gleamed in the night. "Are you ready Mac?" he asked. No, that doesn't sound like Trey…..

"Yeah you bet Jeff!" Mac said.

Jeff? Oh god… you mean the most destructive power that can destroy the world is…

… Jeff taking over Trey's body? Oh man, this won't end well.

Mac and Trey… edit that… Jeff started towards Darkness at light speed. They shot blasts at him while Mac punched him with his metal arm. He was throwing up blood the whole time.

Finally, Darkness was weak and on the ground. "NOW YOUR FINISHED!" yelled Mac. He held his hands behind him as Two large, Blue spheres started to form in his fists. The ground shook. "FINAL FLASH!" Mac yelled as he put the spheres in front of him and blasted them at Darkness.

It was too bright. I shielded my eyes. It was so bright! I thought iwas going to go blind when all of the sudden…

… it was quiet.

I opened my eyes and Trey was getting up from the ground weakly, still bleeding. I think he was Trey again because his icy blue hair was back. I could feel my legs again, even though I was still nearly bleeding to death.

Mac was no where to be seen. And I denied it but I knew…

…he had sacrificed himself for us. He was gone.

"Are you alright?" I asked, picking him up in my arms. His head was limp.

He coughed, "Yeah I'm okay," he said, and smiled.

Well, at least one of them was okay. I held back my tears and flew him home.

Two days later, Vlad's mansion

General POV

0000000000000000000000

Vlad sat on the couch with one arm around Candy and the other around Trey. He had told Candy everything. At first she was a little scared, but then she bandaged both of them up with white tape and slowly took out the needles.

Vlad had already called Maddie and informed her of the news. She hung up on him. He was waiting for her to call back.

It had been two days since Mac's death. The night still haunted Vlad's mind and he found himself crying more than he had in his whole life.

He slammed his fist on the coffee table in front of him. "This is all my fault! I'm such and idiot! STUPID!"

"Honey," Candy said, holding him, "It's all going to be okay. Calm down!"

Vlad placed him hands in his face, "I'm sorry. I've tried to forget about him but… I just can't it's too hard!"

Trey looked at him, "Vlad," he said, "Never forget the ones who made you smile…"

Vlad tapped Trey on the shoulder. "You're right," he said, "I won't try to forget anymore. It happened, and there is no changing it right?"

"Yeah, right."

"Now head to bed. It's late, and you should be asleep!"

"Yeah," Trey said, "goodnight guys." He walked up the stairs.

Vlad was about to say something to Candy when Trey called for him from up the stairs.

They quickly rushed to him. "What?" Vlad said, opening the door, "What's wrong?"

Trey was sweating and slowly pointed to his bed. There was, right there on the bed, a pair of goggles. Bloody ones with a needle trough it. Vlad picked them up. He ran out into the hall. "MAC?" he yelled, "MAC?"

He thought he heard an answer, but perhaps it was only an echo…

I'm Still Here (Mac's theme song)

I am a question to the world

Not an answer to the earth

All alone now

And how do you say

And what

Do you think you'd ever say?

I won't listen anyway

You don't know me

And I'll never be what you want

Me to be

And what

Do you think you'd understand

I'm a boy no, not a man

You can't take me

And throw me away

And how

Can you learn what's never shown?

Yeah you stand there on your own.

They don't know me

'cause I'm not here

And I want a moment to be real

Wanna touch things I don't feel

Wanna hold on

And feel

I belong

And how can the world want me to change?

They're the ones that stay the same

The don't know me

'cause I'm not here

And you

See the things they never see

All you wanted I could be

You can see me

And I'm not afraid

And i

Wanna tell you who I am

Can you help me be a man?

They don't know me

But I'm still here

And I want a moment to be real

Wanna touch things I don't feel

Wanna hold on

And feel

I belong

And how can the world want me to change?

They're the ones that stay the same

They can't see me

But I'm still here

They can't tell me who to be

Cuz im not what they see

And the world keeps on sleeping

While I keep on dreaming for me

And the world is just

Whispers and lies that I'll never bevieve!

And I want a moment to be real

Wanna touch things I don't feel

Wanna hold on

And feel

I belong

And how can the world want me to change?

They're the ones that stay the same

I'm the one now!

'cause I'm still here!

I'm the one!

'cause I'm still here

I'm still here

I'm still heeeeeeeeeeere
