To Dwell In Nightmares and Dreams

Out Of Reach

Stiles and the girl followed the blood trail back into the forest. He made sure to still walk in front, just in case. However then something strange appeared.

A door, standing up right, next to an oak tree. There was nothing to hold the door up apart from the frame, which should be to weak to hold it up.

The blood trail stopped at the door.

Stiles eyes narrowed. 

This must be the curse's doing then.

"Come on, we need to go through this door to find your parents" He told her gently.

Hoping their wasn't any nasty surprise waiting behind the door, knowing how it must work.

The girl clutched his clothes, staying close to him as he opened the strange door and walked through.

They were in the mirror room once again and the girl let out a shocked cry as suddenly the glass piece flew from her hand then settled in the mirror frame.

The door slammed shut behind them, the number one fading from the door. The number on the second door started to glow.

No guesses as to where the curse wanted him to go next Stiles thought.

"I think we need to complete some tasks and then we'll be able to find your parents. I am sure the curse has done something to them, I am sure we'll be able to find them after we have done some tasks" Stiles said comfortingly.

He neglected to mentioned that considering the amount of blood there was, they likely wouldn't find them alive but he definitely couldn't tell her that.

The child looked a little confused but she did seem to understand that he was trying to help her so when Stiles went to the next door, she followed him, sticking close to his side.

Okay, one down, four to go Stiles thought, hoping the tasks would be as quick as his first one. 

The girls eye widened as she was suddenly grabbed and let out a shocked cry as she realised that they both had walked off a cliff edge.

Stiles looked down and all he could see was darkness, no floor below.

He wasn't too worried as he could use his energy to fly but he made sure he was holding the girl tightly as he walked to the right, a slight rocky edge where he could step and go backwards, away from the cliff's edge.

He stiffened a little as he took notice of his surroundings. He was on this small rocky area with no where to go, apart from a creepy looking bridge to the right, that swayed in the wind but wait!

The mirror piece was lying on the opposite end of the bridge.

Surely, it couldn't be that easy?

Stiles frowned, he definitely didn't trust that bridge so the better way would be...

He called upon his power, this one he hasn't used in a while but it responded to him like he was part of the air district.

The wind surrounded him, making his hair whirl around and stick up, he focused the wind on himself.

"Stay here, I'll come back" He told the girl.

She looked at him, eyes wide.

Stiles supposed she was shocked he was floating, she probably never seen something like this before.

But...something changed.

Stiles flew, using the air to fly towards the mirror piece instead of taking the bridge

Was it him?

Or did the bridges end with the mirror piece seem to be getting further and further away?
