The Glassy Sky

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: The Good Sister

I teleported us to his sister's limbo. It appears to me that we have been teleported to a simple door that looks like it was made from a varnished mahogany wood. We entered the door and we are lead to a simple house that is very British in its design. Compact but enough to fit us all. Meanwhile, Hunter was shocked of what he saw. "This used to be our home when we were younger." He said, while reminiscing his memories. We all went upstairs and Hunter went to his room, he saw that everything that he left was still there. "Make yourselves comfortable." Hunter said. So I sat on the chair in his room while Sam and Toby sat on the floor. "Are you close with your sister?" I asked.

"Yeah, until I became a drug addict and all." Hunter replied.

"Why did you became a drug addict, in the first place?" Sam asked.

"I was a troubled child back then. Our childhood wasn't that great. The reason I became an addict was because I wanted my parents to love me the way they love my sister."

"So, your parents didn't love you that much?" I asked.

"You can say that! I just want them to notice me for who I am, not as Sarah's older brother. It's always been Sarah who's great in their eyes and despite my achievements, Sarah is still the one who's gets the credit."

"I'm sorry to hear that." I replied.

"No, it's fine. I've gotten over it. Despite that I have a mother who pays enough attention to my needs, even though she loves Sarah more than I am. She's the one who got me into rehab in the first place. And she's one of the reasons why I stayed sober."

"At least you're good now."

"Yeah, I had my life going on. I made up with my sister and we're good now, but then I was shot by someone on the recording studio and then I ended up in this place not knowing how to leave."

"We'll make sure to leave this place, together." A few minutes later, we heard someone from the kitchen, and we immediately went down to the kitchen. Hunter went inside the kitchen while we all stayed on the stairs. "Sarah!" Hunter said. She looked back at Hunter and was surprised to see him. She approached him and hugged him as if it will be the last time that they'll see each other. "I miss you so much!" She said, as she began to tear up. "How are you, sis?"

"I'm fine, but you're in the hospital. Am I dreaming?"

"Yes you're dreaming. Listen to me. I don't have much time. I need to tell you something."

"What do you mean you don't have much time?" She asked, "What is it?"

"I might not make it out of here alive, so you better take care of yourself. Always remember that no matter what decision you choose in your life, I'll always be there by your side."

"Why do I feel like you're saying goodbye to me?"

"Because I am saying goodbye to you, dummy. I might not make it out alive in this world, and always remember that no matter what happens to us, I'll always love you my beloved sister." Hunter hugged her sister and he began to cry, knowing that this might be the last time that he can physically hug her sister. "It's been a while since we hugged each other!" Hunter said, "You know I always envied you for being their favorite, but now, I never regret any of my decisions I made."

"You always been a rebel, you know that?"

"Yeah, I know. I guess I have to go now."

"Wait, you can stay here if you wanted to."

"It's sweet of you, but I guess your time has come."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You're dreaming, sis. It's time for you to wake up." She turned around then saw a portal started to open behind her, sucking her out of the dream world. She holds tight to Hunter's right hand and said, "I don't want to wake up, I want to stay with you for a bit longer."

"Unfortunately, you can't. You need to wake up."

"Why?"

"If you don't, you'll be trapped here like me."

"But I wanted to be with you for a bit longer."

"You can't sis. Just remember that I'll always be by your side no matter what." Hunter took off her sister's grip from his right hand and his sister was sucked into the portal, "I love you, sis." He said, before sucking her sister completely to the portal. Leaving us all in the house. Hunter wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "So, what now?"

"Before we go to war, we better be prepared. That's the plan!" I replied.

"What are you suggesting?" Sam asked.

"We need to go back to my limbo and find a place where we can fight Morpheus. Also, we need help from my creations."

"You mean, Sully?"

"Not just him, I mean all of my creations."

"I hope they will cooperate. Your creations have a life of their own and sometimes they won't listen to reason."

"They will listen to me, and I'll make sure they will."

"So we're going back to your limbo to fight that monstrosity?" Hunter said.

"Yeah, that's the plan. Now hold tightto me because we're heading there now." Luckily, I know a place where we canlure him and fight him against our advantage. I used my power to teleport us tomy limbo and we were teleported outside my door leading to my very own limbo.
