Beep beep beep...
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Dad, do you know about any stump in the woods?"
"Yes why?"
"That's where she is, come on we don't have time"
...
"Over there, just go straight ahead, it's huge so you can't miss it" Jacob said
"Okay" Mikey said before running ahead. A few minutes after running, he found it
"Oh look who's here"
"Lizzie?"
"Guess again"
"It's you"
"You know I have a name"
"Well, I don't know it and I don't wanna know it. Where is she?"
"Calm down dude, I didn't eat her"
"I know her" Duke said in Mikey's mind
"Who is she?"
"What?" The girl asked
"You said you know, so who is she?"
"Who are you talking to?" She asked
"Shh, hold on for a second"
"Her name's Charlotte, we used to be friends" Duke said
"Charlotte?"
"How do you know my name?"
"So you're really Charlotte?"
"How do you know my name!? You-you're Michael right?"
"Yeah"
"You look so much like him"
"Like who?"
"The one I'm doing all this for. Maybe, maybe it's not my doppelganger who's needed but his"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Me! She's talking about me, she's trying to bring me back"
"What do you mean bring you back?"
"If she gets even a bit of your blood, and places it on that tree, we'll be separated"
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"No, it's a forceful separation. It would feel like getting your soul ripped in two and the worst part is..."
"What is it?"
"I'll feel the pain too!"
"Fuck you"
"No you don't understand, I'm not scared of pain. This particular pain may lead to my death, to our death! Stop her at all cost"
"How do I do that?"
"Don't let her get your blood, not even a little bit. But if she eventually does, stop her from stabbing it into that tree, at all cost"
"Oka-"
"-oh and she's a vampire"
"What?"
"Stop ignoring me!" Charlotte yelled and charged at him with a dagger
He dodged to the side, but she suddenly became faster and tackled him to the ground
"Just a bit of blood"
"No, get off me"
"Let me have you!" She yelled
"No!"
"I wasn't asking"
"Lizzie?"
They both turned towards the voice and found the others staring at them with weird looks. They probably looked really weird right now given the fact that she was basically straddling him and trying to stab him, while he was underneath her and trying to get the dagger away from him...
"Is this a lovers quarrel? Was all this a prank?" Jacob asked
"Of course no- ahh, shit this bitch!"
"Don't get distracted during a fight" she said pulling the dagger out of his arm and getting up
"Ahh" she yelled falling face first on the floor. She turned around to find Mikey holding her ankle
"That is no way to treat a lady"
"Do I look like I care? Hand over the dagger"
"In your dreams" She said trying to shake him off, but her leg started to freeze over
"What the- what did you do to me? Stop it!"
Mikey got up and looked at the others
"Go help Lizzie, she's behind the tree" he said and turned back towards Charlotte
"Give me the dagger"
"No"
"You're a vampire, aren't you?"
"Why, scared? I can take a bite out of you before you could even blink"
"Then this is really gonna hurt" he said stabbing her with a stick
"Ahhh"
"Just hand over the dagger"
"Never!, I spent years trying to get here and I'm finally so close, what makes you think I'll just throw it away!?" She yelled
"Just give me the fucking dagger and all this pain would go away!"
"I'd rather die!" She yelled throwing the dagger towards the tree
"No!"
Stab
"I'll do anything to have him back"
"Even causing him pain?"
"What do you mean?"
Tremble tremble...
Crack crack
They looked towards the tree and saw it opening up from the middle, something was coming out of it...
"I thought you said it'll come with pai- ahh, there it is"
"There is what?"
Tremble tremble...
The shaking became more and more intense and it got to a point where they couldn't stand anymore
"Ugh" Mikey groaned before he collapsed
"Hey, what's going on?"
Out of the tree rose a coffin. It was completely made of a clear blue crystal, the coffin suddenly duplicated. The newly made coffin began to draw Mikey into it
"No, no no no no no no no" Mikey repeated grabbing unto anything he could, but his efforts seemed futile as he was eventually dragged and sealed in it.
Silence...
The trembling stopped the moment he was dragged in.
"What was that!? What just happened!?" Cal' yelled running in that direction. Apparently they felt the trembling all the way from the hospital and rushed here.
"Where's Mikey?" He asked Charlotte who got up and walked towards the two coffins
"What're those?" Sally asked
"Come see for yourself" Charlotte said without paying attention to them
They walked closer to the coffins and looked inside. Inside was Mikey who looked to be peacefully asleep and inside the other one was another Mikey but with black hair.
"Hahahaha... Yes! I did it! Hahaha" Charlotte suddenly laughed
"What did you do?" Cal' asked
"I brought him back! That's what I did"
"Brought who back?"
"My best friend. He was the only person I cared about and I had to sit unable to move and watched as his soul got forcefully separated from his body. I have waited so long, planned so much and finally, he's here. My precious Duke, hahaha"
"You brought Duke out!? The same Duke who only kills!?"
"Yeah that one, but he won't kill now though, he only did that because he lost his sanity for a bit. He's probably fine now. What I don't understand is why Michael's in here with him?"
"You didn't know?"
"Know what?"
"Dukes soul was inside Mikey, you just forcibly separated his soul from another body, you just repeated history" Sally said
"No, no you're lying. That's not possible"
"You saw him talking to himself didn't you? Who the hell did you think he was talking to?"
"I thought he was crazy!... Oh my God, what have I done?"
