A few hours later, Evelynne showed up to the meeting....Hunter raced over to her. This time his eyes were wide with fear. Evelynne snickered. "What? Did Beast put another tarantula under your pillow?"

"No, Malakai's here....and something's is wrong with him. I think you should come see for yourself...." He started walking, then stopped to look at her. "By the way, THAT THING wasn't a tarantula, it was the fucking size of my dog!"

Evelynne snickered as she looked at Mica. "He says it was your size!" She cackled.

Hunter then was freaking out and making a noise. "It wasn't THAT big, fuck, Evelynne....now that's locked in my brain!"

She laughed and looked at Mica again. "He doesn't like fuzzy wuzzy animals!"

"Oh, Fuck You Eden!"

.........................................

When they reached the small room, Hunter braced himself as he opened the door with caution. Evelynne stepped in, and she was horrified by what she saw.

Malakai now had streaks of a deep, almost black, purple bulging out like veins all over his face and arms. His eyes were no longer black, they became a shiny purple....the same shine that the crystal had. He was scratching vigorously at his arm, causing a rash.

Evelynne then tried to pull his arm away, but he was too strong! "Hey, hey, you're going to get an infection!" She made another attempt to draw his arm away from him, but he ended up hitting her in the face. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" Malakai shouted. This made Evelynne jump. Her friend wasn't the kind of person to be aggressive.

"Look, go to a medic, I'm sure you can get help from somewhere."

Malakai growled at her as he lunged in her direction, completely smacking her head on the stone floor. She groaned in pain. Hunter grabbed him and backed away slowly.

"I'm only trying to help you!" Evelynne croaked.

"YOU INVADING MY GOD DAMN SPACE DOESN'T HELP ME AT ALL!" Malakai shrieked.

Hunter let go of him and immediately grabbed her and together they ran out of the room. Hunter turned around and locked the door, before Malakai could escape.

Evelynne cried fearfully and hugged Hunter. "What's wrong with him?" She whimpered.

Hunter sighed. "Did you give him that crystal.....that belonged to you, right?"

"Well, yeah! I've had that with me for a few years. He just got it two days ago! Why doesn't it affect ME?"

Hunter shook his head in disbelief. "I don't know..."

She cried. Her friend would never act like this......he was always warm and kind to her. He was her best friend. Now he's turned into a fucking maniac!

"We have to take that crystal off of him, I believe that will help him recover..." Hunter suggested.

Evelynne shook her head as she remembered what Malakai showed her earlier that day. "He cut himself with it, it won't do any good if we take it off of him."

"Aw, shit!" Hunter said disappointedly. "We cant have him suffer like this...." He grabbed his knife and unlocked the door, but Evelynne grabbed his bicep. "Let ME do it.." Hunter then gave the knife to her.

Hunter stayed in case if Malakai goes berserk again. She slowly walked inside with the blade in her hand, Malakai had his back turned to her, exposing his neck as he continuously scratched himself harder and harder until he bled. She closed her eyes as she felt the blade go in through his neck. She cried when she heard him gagging and choking on his own blood. "I'm sorry, Malakai." The dark haired boy lay on the floor, motionless.

Immediately, she pulled the chain off of him and stuffed the crystal in her pouch. She then turned to Hunter with tears staining her vision. "This won't happen again!" She said.

Never..........again!
