Chereads / MY LOST MATE / Chapter 5 - The hunted woods

Chapter 5 - The hunted woods

We moved silently trying to be unnoticed but then we stepped on something soft yet unexpectedly dangerous, terrified we jumped and entered a house nearby which was the biggest mistake we ever made.

Who is it? the house spoke. Is that you master.

Yes it is I.

What are you doing?

"Trying to stay alive".

What do you mean you're a ghost!!.

Master,have a seat .

Suddenly a chair moved towards us looked at us and screamed, we also screamed.

Why are you yelling do something.

Intruder!.

I almost forgot,he held my hand and we vanished.

Shouldn't you have done that sooner.

I would but this is a strange location I might have teleported us to a dangerous place who knows.

That is true,welcome to my house,Erick it's being a while,I see you've found her,but dont you think this is going to end well for you both.

Who are you?,I asked and how do you know me.

No my dear,the right question is,will you get out of here alive?.

Right, I will,I'm not bothered at all you should be bothered about the house thats chasing us without feet.

"Intruders,intruders"

How is it even running?

Well, that's your problem not mine, in fact why don't I give you bigger things to worry about.

What did she mean by that?

Run!!!

(The witch laughs hysterically)

(Zume lebridibe )

What is she doing?

She's chanting.

The ring,put on the ring and hug me.

Why?

Just trust me.

We both disappeared,and went up into the clouds,his eyes meeting mine,at that moment time stood still, and my shoulder started sparkling again.

Do you remember me?

I don't know what you want me to remember.

I think you do,now look over there,and let me show you what you must know.

I looked over and saw lots of stars every one was smiling and laughing when suddenly a black wind blew and everything was destroyed.

He looked at me and said this is an alternate universe, the people are the same but different in character.

Does that mean,there's an evil me over there in that universe.

Yes,and it is deadly if they cross paths, especially if the evil one is stronger than the good one.

What does this have to do with why were here?

I'm sure you'll be able to remember everything once you look into my eyes,and so I have to take a risk and take his body.

What are you crazy why can't u wait till I dream, and what if he sees you.

You see,you just forgot that I'm dead,you're the only one that can see me,but you're visible and if you're evil twin sees you, I'm not sure what will happen.

I need you to stay here and keep an eye out for the witch.

20 minutes later.....

Zuri,wake up, I'm going in

Are you crazy?,he said keep an eye out .

I'm worried I need to go.

Zuri the portal is closing.....

Stop don't jump.

I jumped as I could,and entered into the portal, everything was exactly the same my old school,house, even my sister.

Don't be distracted,this isn't real alright.

I know Zuri, still it brings memories.

Focus and find, Erick.

The silver sword

I dragged her into the side. Hey I told you to keep a look out.

I was worried.

Really why so do you maybe?.....

Now is not the time for this.

Who are you,and who are you talking to?.

Veronica, I thought you were in the bar,how did you get here so fast.

Hey guys I'm right here,hey whose that,and how come you look exactly like me?

This is why I told you to stay out of this.

Catch her, and take her to the hybrid.

I stood there not knowing what to do next

The hybrid king.

They took to me into the palace and threw me before him like a commoner.

What a striking resemblance is she a member of your family.

If she were a member of my family I would chew her up my self why would I bring her to a merciful king?

You're right,now young lady state your buisness, you have 3 minutes to defend yourself.

I quickly entered into her and took over.

Oh well your highness,I am lost I swear, I don't even know where I am.

This is the perfect time to strike them both,since he is inside her anything I do to her will affect him.

It's here, we still capture anyone for the sacrifice.

Is that so ?why not take her instead.

No ,Erick come out or do something,what do we do?

Be calm my dear,this will turn out fine.

The flames

According to tradition the one chosen for the sacrifice must be thrown into hot larva to appease the ancestors, now it is time ,bring her here.

While they pushed me towards the flames I noticed something there was a silver sword sparkling in the fire,part of it had the same colour on the power stone, could this be our power source?

Erick, youre a spirit right?, can you cover me so I don't get burnt, I need to get into the fire.

Whatever you say!

They threw me in without warning,I went towards the light and held the sword in my hand,it merged with the power stone and formed a bracelet.

She's still alive,how's that possible?

Emerging from the flames, the bracelet freed Erick from the witches spell, I could now see his and look deep into his eyes, to restore my mind.

I stared into his eyes and I remembered who I was,flashbacks and memories overwhelmed me, I also remembered who he was. I've being here before in this alternate universe,when I came back to reality, I stared at the evil version of myself I stared at the world around me everything was a lie,I used the silver sword to pierce my evil version . Her skin peeled and the witch appeared, we were not in an alternate universe,we were still in the hunted woods.
