The heat only increased in intensity as the Jungle was burning to a crisp. The ravine was clocking up with lava as Alton and Jinx floated in the balance each passing moment, bringing them closer to their demise. Even so, one thing was for sure. Alton wasn't going to give up so easily.
"Let me go."
"What?" Alton whispered, feeling his body topple forward as the dried-up blood was cracking. "You've got to be shitting me."
"If we keep this up, both of us will die. Whether or not you care to doesn't bother me. This isn't to save you; I just want you to let me go. What's it going to be hero?"
Alton chuckled, shaking his head. "Knowing you Jinx you really mean that… This isn't the way of doing things. Giving up before the final bell. We aren't done yet."
Jinx sighed, lowering her head. "I am. My time is up, the powers from the trials are used up. I'm done. Please at this current moment let me die as Jinx Montague. I want to be me in my final moments."
