A Parallel Universe

Chapter 11

"Anyone do something," I screamed as the creature started to attack the tree.

"We have to get out of here," Skyla shouted.

"We can't. The moment we get out of here we will be an easy target for it," Cyrus said.

"Then kill it. Don't you have a water trick that could kill this thing," Aaren shouted.

"How can I do that? We can't even see the creature," Cyrus replied.

"Maybe if we reach one of the windows you could throw a water orb at it," Skyla suggested.

"That is a good idea but how could we reach it with all this shaking," I said.

"Hold on to something and use it to get to a window," Aaren suggested.

"We need someone to steady me when I create an arrow so that I don't topple over," Cyrus said.

"I will go," Skyla volunteered,

"I don't care! Just get this done before the tree falls and we are crushed," I shouted.

Skyla and Cyrus started holding onto things and walking toward the nearest window. The tree was starting to sway and everything was starting to tilt. If they didn't hurry we will all die. After what felt like an eternity they finally reached the window.

"Now Skyla hold my arm and don't let go of the table," Cyrus said.

The tree was starting to sway more violently in the opposite direction of the window. If this tree falls, Skyla and Cyrus will fly in the opposite direction and hit the wooden wall with enough force to break it. Cyrus started moving his hands in weird ways and the base of an arrow started to form. It thickened and thickened and then began to lengthen. I took a look at Skyla and I could see that she was trying hard to keep holding the table.

"We have to help her! She clearly can't keep this up for long," I said to Aaren.

"We can't move there. Things are flying everywhere and even if we manage to avoid them, there is no way we will be able to reach them on time. I say we wait here and hope that everything is going to be alright."

"Do what you want! I am going."

I started to grab things and tried to reach them but then the chair I was grabbing started sliding in the opposite direction and sent me flying with it.

"Let go of it or you will crash," Aaren shouted.

I loosened my grip on it in the last possible second before it crashed into the wall. A crack formed in the bark and was getting wider by the second.

"Grab my hand if you want to survive," Aaren screamed as he extended his hand toward me.

I took it and he dragged me away from the crack. We both tried to get away from the wall but it was no use.

"Guys hurry up! I don't think we could hold on much longer," I screamed.

"We are trying but the pull is too hard! Cyrus can;t focus enough to create anything," Skyla shouted back.

"Then get back here! The tree is falling," Aaren screamed.

"There are things blocking our way! We can't even see you guys," Skyla shouted.

I was about to say something when I heard a horrible breaking sound. The sound of a tree trunk being cut off. The tree now stretched falling to the ground and everything in it started sliding toward us. I tried to search for Skyla and Cyrus but I couldn't find them anywhere. Everything came crashing down with us. A large table slid toward me and Aaren. We tried as hard as we could to push it away but failed. It crashed into us and then everything went black.
