Mikey was lowering his dagger, his body felt drained. He stared into his brother’s eyes, not breaking eye contact. His body was sweating, but the same could not be said about Brendon. Brendon had perfect posture, staring into the angel's eyes. He had a cheeky smile plastered onto his face. He pouted to Mikey, “With all do respect, Michael-do you really think you can defeat me?”

Mikey mumbled, “No one else but my brother can call me Michael.”

“Yes, I know. I can hear him ringing inside my head-it’s quite annoying.” Brendon circled around Mikey who had his dagger stretched out, following Brendon’s movements. Brendon sighed, “You’re very determined to save your brother-doesn’t he hate you?”

“Hate’s a strong word.” Mikey said.

“A very strong word.” Brendon stated. He looked down to his cane, “There’s a lot I can do right now to you-but I won’t. My dear Michael, why isn’t a negotiation in process?”

“I don’t negotiate with a devil.”

There was a disturbance in the air. Brendon blinked his eyes just to see all demons and angels standing along with Mikey. He set eyes on Davy and Jenna, the only two holding hands. Brendon stared, not sure what to say. Mikey knew they were by his side, but didn’t see Jenna holding hands with Davy-that was until he glanced to see it, close to him. Mikey growled, “Jenna, what are you doing?”

She lowered her eyes, “I know it might sound idiotic, knowing what my full intentions were before, but I learned that I can not do what I was aimed to do.”

Mikey growled, “Heaven will have your head.”

Ray inched closer to Mikey, “And then heaven will have ours as well. We are supportive of her and her choices-we cannot interfere with that.” He stopped by Mikey, resting a hand on his shoulder, “It is love.”

Mikey looked at Jenna, “Love, you say? You’re still in love with the demon who had obsessed over you and burned you? You still love him?”

Jenna locked eyes with Mikey, “It may be a foolish act, but second chances are still in order.”

Brendon rolled his eyes, “My, my-well then, I suppose all of my demons are against me now?” He stared at Lindsey, “Well?”

Lindsey could feel her heart pounding against her chest, “Yes. We are.”

Brendon raised a brow, “Well then. I guess that is that .. I know my brothers are here and they have a way to take me out-one thing is for sure .. I’m not going out alone.” Brendon tapped the sphere on his cane and a demon shook, being lifted off the ground. Their body felt tightened and weak. With no capability to move their body, their insides crushed. Organs exploded, teeth were bent, their eyes became blind .. Frey was being crushed in front of her friends who could not help her. Frey felt it all, the suffering and her dying-and for the first time, she felt it. She felt pain. Her psychotic mind was dying down with her body, and the voices in her head were quieting. She screamed in agonizing pain as Lindsey cried. Davy could feel his body shaking as he witnessed Frey’s arm twisting against the laws of physics. The angels were appalled at the scene, unable to keep watching as blood poured from her nose, eyes, and mouth. Frey’s screaming had stopped, and her body dangled in the air above the angels and demons.

Brendon sighed, staring at Frey, “What a waste.”

Frey’s bloody body collapsed onto the ground, splattering more blood onto the floor. Frank vomited at the sight in nearby bushes.

Lindsey ran over to Frey and flipped her body over. She gagged, not being able to take the scent of blood even if she’s shed more blood than this. But this was different. This was her friend. She cried for Frey, “No, no, no-you’re not dead,” Her lips curled, “Frey, honey, hey-wake up. You’re strong, you can’t be dead.” Lindsey pushed her hair back, staring into Frey’s blood shot eyes that leaked blood, “We’re going to miss you.” She leaned down and kissed Frey’s forehead, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Brendon’s cane was swiped, just as he expected. Even if he expected it, he wasn’t able to do anything about it. Joe inspected the cane, “Holy shit, this thing is fucking light.”

Pete grasped onto Brendon’s vessel, “Alright, buddy-let’s get you out of Gerard.” Pete pulled out an odd knife with abstract drawings on the blade, holding it against the throat of Gerard. Frank was leaning in, hoping that doing whatever they were doing, wasn’t going to hurt Gerard. Pete leaned into Gerard’s ear, “Alright, Brendon, here’s what’s going to happen. You’re getting out of Gerard’s body and back to hell.”

Brendon whispered, “A negotiation? Well, you know how to get to my soft side, brother.” He raised a brow, “And what do I get?”

“Your old body .. without the cane of course.”

“And what do you plan on doing with my cane?” Brendon stared at it, “You can’t destroy it, it’ll kill me.”

Pete whispered, “I know. That’s where you come in. How would you want us to get rid of it?”

Brendon glanced at his cane which held a small amount of his abilities. He glanced at the demons, but became aware that they betrayed him. He glanced at Gerard’s shoes, but hated him too much. He glanced at the angels, they’d only keep it up in heaven .. and then he stared at Frank. Perfect.

Brendon mumbled, “Give it to the soul.”

Pete stared at him, “The soul?”

Brendon grinned, “Yes, that is my end of the bargain. With him being a half breeder, I’m sure his true nature will come out. You see, the angels do not know of his father and mother, and when he possess my cane-his true intentions will come out. We both know you have concerns for Frank as well, wondering is he’s capable of killing you. If Frank becomes violent, the angels will know his true nature and kill him. If he stays the same, you have no worries.”

Pete glanced at Frank, “Fine.” He told Joe, “Give the cane to Frank.”

Frank’s eyes grew wider, “Wait, what-” The cane was handed to him, and he felt his body shake a bit.

Brendon grinned, “I suppose we have a deal .. oh, and I would like my apparition to come with me.” Haley, as herself again, appeared next to Brendon. Pete rolled his eyes before black smoke cascaded from Gerard’s eyes and mouth, falling to the ground in front of Gerard’s body. Pete lowered his dagger, “Alright, then. Let’s go to hell.” Joe and Andy stood by Pete, ready to leave.

Frank called, “Wait, why did you give me the cane?”

Pete didn’t reply. He and his brothers, Haley and along with the smoke, vanished.

Frank looked at the cane before realizing Gerard’s body moving. He rushed over by his side, “Gerard, are you okay?”

Gerard groaned as he looked up to Frank. He chuckled, “Holy shit, I’m glad that’s over.” He laughed a bit until getting up to his feet with Frank. Gerard’s smile faded when he saw Frey’s body. He didn’t say a word as he walked to it, looking down to her. He frowned, “You were a great warrior.” He did his best not to cry. He quickly turned his back to her and faced Mikey who already lowered his dagger. Gerard said, “Thanks .. I didn’t think you’d come for me.”

Mikey scoffed, “What kind of brother would I be?”

Gerard gave him a soft smile before grinning, “I had things under control.”

Mikey frowned and rolled his eyes, “Yeah, right. Is that why Brendon said you were calling for me?”

“There’s no proof of that.” Gerard said.

Mikey smiled, “Alright, well, we’re done here. Sage, Sarah-” He paused, looking at Jenna who was not making eye contact with him. Mikey walked over and asked her, “You don’t plan on coming back to heaven?”

Jenna looked up to him, “I plan on staying here.”

Mikey reeled her in for a hug, taking her away from Davy. Jenna smiled lightly as she hugged back. Mikey mumbled in her shoulder, “If he hurts you again, I’ll kill him.”

Jenna giggled, “No, if he hurts me again, I’ll kill him.”

Davy forced a laugh, “Haha, yeah, okay-I got it.”

Mikey moved away from Jenna and stared at Frank, “Do good things with that power. If you don’t, we’re going to have to come down here again .. and it won't be to help you.” And then he and the angels vanished.

Gerard looked at Frank, “You have the cane .. so that makes you the master now?”

Frank smiled, “No, I’d still be yours. I’m not really a dominant kind of guy-besides, we have a deal.”

Gerard grinned before walking toward Frank. He reeled him in and kissed his lips, missing the touch of his love. His hands reached down and grasped onto his butt, feeling his jeans get tighter. Gerard broke the kiss and grinned, “Let’s go home.”

Notes

Update from the last "chapter". One of my friends whom I was friends with for 8 years wouldn't let me push her away, and so now I have her to hang out with during school. She makes me really happy. I'm so glad I at least have one true friend. :)

And thank you all for your comments, they helped me a lot. You're all so kind, thank you again :) <3
