She stared at the heart as it glowed in her hands. The ghost was looking at her with a sorrowful, almost pleading look. It looked familiar to her somehow, and her heart ached at its expression, though she didn't know why. She could hear Arthur tremble behind her, his teeth clattering together noisily. She touched the heart with one hand, and gasped as magenta light flew into her eyes.

She remembered.

Lewis!

The cave!

The memories flew fast, but they were so familiar that it only took seconds for her recollect everything. When she did, she stared at her love with wide eyes.

"Lewis!" She cried, jumping up and kissing him on the part of his face that resembled a mouth. His hair went wild, face bright pink as she held him close.

"V-Vivi!" He exclaimed, embarrassed. She let go, jumping up and down in excitement.

"Oh My GOSH! I thought you were gone! But you're a ghost! That's SO COOL!" She yelled. They heard Arthur clear his throat. When the two looked at him, he was sitting on the ground, shaking.

"What are you waiting for?" When they didn't answer, he continued.

"Hurry up and take revenge already. Kill me."

Arthur knew he was going to die the moment he saw Lewis staring at him with a harsh glare, magenta eyes boring into his. He had run away, the coward he was pushing him forward. He gave it his best, but in the end, he was cornered. He had awaited death, but then Vivi had gotten in the way.

No! Let him end it! Go away!

Lewis stopped, shocked, hurt, confused, and Arthur wanted to wipe all those emotions away.

My fault. Useless. Worthless. Murderer.

Arthur watched with interest as Lewis gave Vivi his heart, and gasped as Vivi recognized Lewis, her eyes shining with knowledge.

She knows.

She'll hate you.

So, he doesn't give her a chance yell hurtful words, telling Lewis to burn him to a crisp, to kill him.

End it please.

Lewis is staring at him with a cold stare, but Arthur can see the flicker of surprise behind the aloofness. Vivi is just realising why the two boys are at odds with each other, and she turns to scream at Arthur.

"You killed him!" She exclaims, and he doesn't know why but he laughs, bitter and cold and it echoes throughout the building.

"Glad you figure it out Vi. Got you some closure. Now, move out of the way so Lewis can kill me please," His voice is steady, the calmest it has ever been, and he stares at the floor. She stops, confused.

"Arthur...I don't understand. Why?" Tears are filling her eyes, and he hates himself because it's another thing he's done he's hurting her, why can't he StopMAkINgMIsTaKES.

The scars under his wristband itch, and he subconsciously reaches for his razor. He finally gets up, staring at them with angry eyes, but the anger is at himself, at how weak he is.

"Why do you CARE?! Just get it over with! Do whatever you want with me!" His mind is screaming at him, telling him to stop and wait, and he shrinks into himself. "Just no possessing. Please," Lewis gives him a quizzical look, but then his anger returns, and flames appear in his hands. Arthur looks down at his feet, waiting.

Suddenly, Mystery is there.

The dog-kitsune-whatever-he-was growled at Lewis and Vivi, back arched and eyes sharp and alert, almost looking red in the light.

NononononononononNO ICan'THAvESoMEOnEDiEBeCausEOFMEAgAIN!

"Go away you stupid mutt!" He kicks out his leg, but Mystery doesn't even give any indication that he felt it, and Arthur could feel the tears welling in his eyes but he didn't care, just kept screaming and yelling until the shouts became sobs and he leans his back against the wall, sliding down slowly as his arms hugged himself tightly. "Why…," He croaks out. "Why are you protecting me?" He whispers now, and Lewis scoffs, getting closer. Vivi finally speaks.

"Mystery, bad dog! No helping friend murderers!" She scolds him, but Mystery does nothing to acknowledge her voice. He glares at Lewis, walking over to Arthur's prosthetic arm and nuzzling it with his snout, giving Lewis a pointed look.

"How did you get that Arthur? Wasn't there the last time I saw you. Do you know Vivi?" He spits out Arthur's name like garbage, and Arthur can't find it in him to care.
"I don't know, since he told me that it had been cut by a spike, but I can't really trust him, now can I," Malice dripped from Vivi's reply, and still there was that numb feeling in Arthur's hear where it should have hurt. He spoke.

"Who cares? Just move Mystery out of the way and kill me already!" Irritation filled his voice, he was so tired, but Lewis just crossed him arms.

"Tell. Me. What. Happened. Now," His voice went so deep, it was almost unheard.

Something inside Arthur finally snapped.

"You wanna know what happened? FINE!" He got up, sparks coming off of his arm(does it need fixing?)and anger filling up his eyes until all he could see was Lewis and a red haze surrounding him. "When we went into the cave, I was possessed by a demon! One who told me that was worthless and pathetic and weak and that you guys didn't care that I was around, and when I finally realized that it was right it used my arm to push you off that cliff, and in order to stop me from being fully possessed Mystery had to bite my arm off but it doesn't matter because you died and I should be dead so why don't you just Kill me ALREADY!" The yell was filled with despair, and he started laughing, laughing because it made everything seem brighter, even when he was lost in the dark with no light. "Green goes well with red…," He whispered. Mystery whimpered, nuzzling his leg, and Arthur patted his head softly. Lewis gave him an incredulous look.

"Really?" He asked, voice soft, and Arthur could see the hope in his eyes. He grabbed his left arm, metal cooling to the touch, and managed a nod. Lewis narrowed his eyes. "I want to see," He said softly, grabbing Vivi's arm. Before Arthur could say a word, there was a roar and a flash of magenta.

Everything went black.
