Archer
I grabbed Lucindas arm as she collapsed, screaming in pain as she clutched her head.
"Is she alright!? " Evelyn cried, struggling to stand.
"I don't know! " I exclaimed, holding Lucindas shoulder.
"She... Isn't here anymore" Lucinda drawled slowly, her voice slightly deeper.
"What? " I demanded. Slowly she looked up, locking eyes with me. Her usually dark green eyes glare into my eyes, now a glowing deathly violet.
"You heard me" She called, rising to her feet.
"Lucinda? " I asked, taking a step back. Before I could react she raised her palm, snapping her finger. Within a moments notice, Evelyn cried out in pain, falling to her knees.
"Evelyn! " I cried, going to rush over to her. Before I could move a step Lucinda punched me in the gut, launching me back farther than even Christopher did.
"Lucinda what's wrong with you! " I demanded. She smirked, her palm glowing with violet light before her sword materializes in her hand.
"Oh Evelyn" She drawls., looking back at Evelyn. I follow Lucindas glance, to see Evelyn's eyes now a blazing red, a malicious smirk on her face.
"Show our friend, exactly what you're capable of" Lucinda ordered Evelyn, who rose, sprinting forward with unnatural speed. I took a step back as she grabbed Lucindas blade, sprinting at me full force
"Evelyn please! " I cried as she slashed her blade at me, barely missing by an inch.
"This isn't you! " I yelled. She laughed maniacally.
"You don't even know me!!" She exclaimed before swiping at me again, the sword cutting the air above my head as I ducked.
"Yes I do! Evelyn please remember me! " I cried as she swiped at me again, this time the blade cutting clean against my chest. I stumbled, touching the new cut in my chest.
"I remember you! " She roared, sprinting at me again. Right as I through she was gonna cut me again, she shoulder charged right into me, launching me back onto the ground, my body rolling from the impact.
I stood, locking eyes with Evelyn.
"Evelyn please! " I begged. She laughed, before her eyes darkened unnaturally.
"She's more powerful under my control.. She is stronger with me" She crawled, the way she's speaking similar to how Lucinda had spoken.
"No.. She is strong without power. She's a warrior.. " I took a step forward.
"And that means she can fight this" I yelled. I felt the cut in my stomach twitch making me look down. I felt my lips part as it healed, leaving only a faint scar in its path.
"Oh, Christopher told me all about you... " Evelyn laughed, her blood red eyes glaring at me as she smirks.
"But you are nothing COMPARED TO ME! " She roared before rushing at me.
"I'm sorry" I whispered. I stood frozen as she ran at me, preparing a huge punch. As she got to me, I grabbed her fist, before lifting her up Into the air and slamming her down on the ground, a loud crack sounding from where her body cracked the concrete. I rushed forward, kicking her with all my strength and sending her crashing into a wall.
"That oughta-" I gasped as pain shot through my body. I looked down, gasping at the blade in my back, poking through my chest.
"Your time is up" Lucinda whispered. I felt my eyes droop as I fell to my knees, black dots filling my vision. Before the darkness claimed me, the last thing I heard, was Evelyn's scream.

Evelyn
I gasped, sitting up. I winced at the growing pain in my body, the cuts from whatever happened bleeding majorly. I glanced around, before locking eyes on Two bodies on the floor. I gasped, standing and running to them. I fell to my knees by Archer, who's laying in a pool of blood, a huge sword sticking out of his back. Lucindas sword. I looked at Lucinda, who's knocked clean out behind him.
"Archer! " I screamed, before ripping the sword from his back and turning him over, pressing my hand to his bleeding chest.
"Archer stay with me ok? " I pleaded. His dim blue eyes didn't respond, his labored breathing growing faint.
"I have to do something" I whispered. I closed my eyes, focusing on the energy in my body, feeling a sharp buzz shoot to my palms. I imagined myself healing Archer, power emanating from me as I save his life.
I gasped as memories flashed before my eyes. My first kiss with Archer. My first time with him. Everything we ever did together flashing before my eyes. Everything I sacrificed for him. And behind all that. My love for him. I gasped as something triggered inside me, my body warming up Jurastically as I focused on healing him. On restoring his fading life force.
"Evelyn? " A voice croaked. I opened my eyes, feeling the light fade from my body as I looked at him, before everything went dark.

Lucinda
"Is she gonna be ok" Archer whispered as he stood over Evelyn. He's shirtless, revealing the bloody bandages that are wrapped heavily around his torso, blood slightly bleeding through the wraps.
"When you use magic without something to channel that power from, like an orb, the magic takes something from you to fuel it's power. I have an orb, which is why I never forgot the people I love. She had nothing. I was going to make her an orb when she was ready, but this event.. It made her act. So when she healed you... The magic she was using required fuel. And for healing, it's love. But there's no telling what she gave up" I explained. I stepped up by him, looking down at Evelyn.
"What happened? " I asked him, glancing at him. His eyes widen with disbelief.
"You don't remember? " He asked. I shook my head.
"All I remember is this voice in my head.. And violet light blinding everything I see. " I explained. He sighed, looking at me.
"You're eyes turned violet. And you somehow mind control trolled Evelyn into fighting me. And when I beat her, you came up behind me and stabbed me in the back. " He filled me I. My eyes widened, looking at Evelyn.
"Oh no" I whispered.
"This is all my fault" I exclaimed. He did to reply, just looking down.
I frowned, turning to leave when Evelyn started coughing loudly.
"Evelyn? " Archer asked, grabbing her hand. She looked up, her tiel eyes locking onto Archer, confusion filling her gaze.
"Who are you? "
