Into the Darkness

As Maya felt the tug of the golden aura, she looked at Will, really looked. She could see a small light strand connecting him to Bianca. When she looked at her, Maya could tell that the small breaths were really artificially coming from the saint aura. His ex girlfriend was keeping his body alive, so that Aremesis couldn't claim the full soul from him. The sliver of soul that Cainus had taken from Will to break her curse was the only thing that could swing the balance back in his favor. "What do you need me to do?" She repeated as she looked at Jake. He diverted his gaze only a little, but that one reaction spoke volumes to her.

"You have to give the sliver back in order to tip the scale." He said solemnly.

"But that means!" Bianca's concentration faltered for an instant and Will's body spasmed. She fought to regain control. A bead of sweat broke out on her forehead.
