Frank's POV

I continued to hold Mikey who was holding onto the corpse of my best female friend. Both of us were crying as we struggled to comprehend what had happened. Erica couldn't have just died. She couldn't have. Mikey and I ignored Bob who was asking us a whole bunch of questions. Even Gerard was ignoring Bob. He was standing there frozen on the spot, looking as though he was unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"I am gonna check for a pulse. Maybe she's still alive. Maybe if we get her to a hospital soon enough, she can survive," Mikey spoke, putting his fingers on the inside of her wrist on the side closest to her thumb.

"Maybe I'm looking on the wrong side," he said.

"No, it's on the inside of the wrist under the thumb," I spoke.

"Ok, well maybe I'll try on the inside of her elbow," he spoke, moving his hands up to the inside of her elbow. He was shaking slightly as he placed his fingers on the side of the inside of his elbow that was closest to Erica's body.

"Come on. Come on. Please. BEAT YOU FUCKING HEART!" he screamed, bursting into tears once more.

"CAN SOMEONE FUCKING ANSWER ME!" Bob exclaimed, making all of us turn our heads to look at him immediately.

"Is... was Erica Hot Girl?" he asked. Mikey began to cry again.

"Yes you dumb-fuck. And your side-kick just killed her!" Gerard said, clicking his fingers and making the flame reappear again. Without warning, Bob used all of his strength and broke free of his ice restraints, dodging Gerard and his fiery finger. He walked over to Ray who was waking up.

"Fuck, where am I?" Ray asked, holding his head and getting up onto his feet.

"Where the fuck do you think you are you cunt?" Bob asked him. Ray froze and stared at Bob.

"Why am I all of a sudden a woman's sexual organ? What did I do?" Ray asked.

"Look at the floor!" Bob exclaimed, pointing to his cousin as he looked at her. She at least looked at peace, still in her lover's arms where she had died. Suddenly he walked and sat beside Mikey, almost ignoring the fact that he had wanted us dead only a few short moments ago. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stroked her face.

"I love you Ricky. I am so sorry for putting you in the way of harm. I hope you're somewhere peaceful now. I hope you forgive me for being such an ass," he spoke as the tears escaped his face, mingling with the weeping of his wound from the burn Gerard gave him on his cheek.

"How come Hot Girl turned into your cousin?" Ray asked.

"She had all sorts of powers and by the looks of things, she could morph her body," Bob said, tears still running down his face.

"Hot Girl was your cousin?" Ray questioned. Suddenly, Bob got up off the ground and moved over to Ray.

"Yes! And you fucking killed her," Bob cried, before taking a few deep breaths and composing himself. "And now, I'm going to kill you," Bob said sadistically. I was shocked. He was turning on his partner? Was he retarded? He needed Ray to gang up on us.

"What? No you're not. Bob, stop talking like that. Can't you see? That cousin of yours knew you were Dr. Krustallos and she still wanted you dead. She was a two-faced bitch," Ray spoke.

"And so am I," Bob spoke, creating a crystal with his hand. It was like a really long circular pyramid with a very sharp point at the end. He got the crystal and stabbed it into Ray's chest. Ray looked like he couldn't comprehend what was happening. As the crystal came out, a rather large volume of blood began to pour out. Ray was struggling to breathe. Obviously Bob had punctured a lung or something and Ray was drowning in his own blood.

"You... fucking... asshole. I hope... you get.... what... you.... deserve. I hope... you rot... in hell!" Ray said in between breaths as he fell to his knees. Bob began to yell at Ray but Gerard had another plan up his sleeve.

"Use your super-strength and carry Erica out. We're gonna take Bob by surprise," Gerard conspired with Mikey and I quietly so that Bob didn't hear.

I did as Gerard instructed and I carried Erica out of the pool house, Mikey still touching her by holding her hand. Gerard followed and as soon as we'd moved a fair distance away from the pool house, Gerard stepped forward.

"This is for Erica!" he screamed, a huge ball of fire shooting out of his hands. The pool house exploded into flames. We could all hear screams from the inside as their bodies burned. Although reality hadn't sunk in yet, relief sure had. We had defeated Dr. Krustallos and The Executioner.
