Unforgotten: An Awakening in Time

Chapter 11: Escaped

Erin ran at the three people, striking them as hard as he can. Eventually, he was blown back like the wind. They continued to charge up the attack. The attack soon formed a ball growing larger and larger by the second. Dracculus was scrambling through his backpack, trying to find any potions that could weaken the energy sphere.

They all stared back at the tremendous amount of power that stood in front of them. Everyone wondering what they're next move might be.

Although, in all the chaos, Tony makes a suggestion, "Run, for it.". Tony says confidently, wholeheartedly and softly, "Go, run for the cave nearby.". They all run towards the cave, except for Tony. In all the rush, Erin looks back, noticing Tony is looking straight into the eye of the storm. He sees the words of his father being turned into a moments blur. Tony then looks back slowly, gives a soft smile and looks away.

Erin then turns away, runs like the wind and cries like a river. As they enter the small little hole in the side of the cavern, he rushes to Aurora, bending to her knees. Dripping sweat and tears all over her bag filled with potions. Aurora then hugs him tightly. 

Surprised, Erin smiles back with a face full of tears and hugs her back. "Erin, it will be okay.", Aurora said softly. Those words were the only words that made him feel comfort. Everyone then set up camp in the small hole in the wall of the cavern and then waited till' the next day.

Dracculus was the second to wake up. It was oddly peaceful. It was like they woke up from a beautiful dream. Dracculus then steps outside and stretches to the morning sun with his long black drape. He walks along the wide cavern. He then walks towards a wreckage of wood planks and board games all over the ground. Carpets shredded and shattered lights and broken window panes. Then, he notices Erin standing there, admiring the wreckage, right next to his father who has fallen.

The evil characters seem to have gone away. Erin was constantly thinking, but now his mind is empty, a blank space with no passion or goal in mind.

Dracculus approaches Erin and stands quietly with him, he puts his arm around his shoulder and tries to sympathize with him. "Erin, you need to move on you need to-", Erin stops him and stays abruptly silent. After everyone is awoken, they all decide to try and heal the villagers who may have been infected in Greenshorphe. 

Erin walks quietly in the back with Aurora. Suddenly, Erin's sword starts to glow even brighter than before, symbols starts to appear in front of the sword. A symbol of a clock than appears on the sword and starts to freeze time around him. Everyone seems to have stopped, except for Erin and Aurora. They both wonder how this is possible. 

Everything turns grey except for them. They decided to explore more of this realm that they were in and decided to enter Greenshophe. They see multiple things, grey houses, grey shops and inns. Everything was kept in a grey colour, except for a few things.
