One thousand gifted stood in a line, armed. The sun began to set. Jordan was in the front line, with Flynn at his side, leading the group. Flynn put a hand on his shoulder. Jordan looked at him. "Together. Let's do this." He said. Jordan nodded. Jordan pulled out his sword, turning to the crowd. "Together, we will fight. And win. We will end this hell. Do you hear me?" They cheered. "Let's go!!!" He yelled, running down the field. Olivia hovered above, watching the mound of dark shapes begin to mix with the light. Jordan slashed his sword, destroying all in his path, moving to the castle. He looked up at the tower, to see his father staring him down, grinning, black eyes glistening under the moonlight. Jordan gathered his courage, bursting through the grand front doors. Empty. Every last demon was fighting. Roslyn flashed through his mind. He had to get her out first. He ran down the hall, finding a little torchlit room, with a staircase. He ran down the stairs. There were small gasps in the dark. A little light emerged from the dark. "Wilbur?" Jordan whispered. The light waved. "Over here." Wilbur said. As Jordan approached his cell, there was a whimper. He knew that little voice. "Roslyn?" Jordan found an unlit torch on the wall in the dim light, he poked it through the bars of Wilbur's cell. Wilbur lit it up, the room lit up with an orange glow. Jordan dropped to his knees at the sight of Roslyn. She was on her knees, staring at him. Eyes black, angry, and afraid. She trembled. The was dirty, her hair a tangled mess. She lost weight over the mast week. "Jordan?" She whispered. He nodded. She crawled to him, sobbing. He found the keys hanging on the wall, he unlock both cells. Wilbur headed out to battle. "Good luck." He said, running out. Roslyn remained in her open cell. "Come on!" Jordan said. She sobbed. This wasn't Roslyn. Roslyn was tougher. Jordan went inside, sitting beside her. She shied away, hiding in the back corner. "What has he done to you?" She sniffled. "I love you Roslyn." He said. "I'm here to make you safe. And end this. And make you feel better. She leaped onto his lap sobbing into his chest. "Shh.." He said, rocking her back and forth. He never felt so human. "I'm bad. I'm danger. He ruined me." She cried. "I know." She stared at him. Eyes glimmering silver. Human side. He touched her face smiling. "Your eyes. Their like mine." She smiled. He stood up, offering his hand. She stood up taking it. "Ready?" "Yeah." He squeezed her hand leading her up the stairs.
