The Other Side

Chapter Seven

I was experiencing so many emotions. Contemplating on what I should do, I threw myself at the demon sending her flying to a wall. Thank you sister! She placed her hand on her chest, breathing heavily as she wiped a stream of blood from her face. She snarled, but I was determined to win. She lunged herself at me, causing me to scream in terror. She lunged her knife every which way but for some reason it hadn't managed to touch me. I was utterly confused, wouldn't it have got me by now. Feeling stronger than before I put my bravest face on and ran for her. My sisters wings threw her in every direction. "You are never going to take this house away from me!" She screamed, "NEVER!!" Then it happened, my sister flew down from the heavens and whispered something in my ear. According to her I could only understand what it meant. I nodded to her as she flew back into the heavens. I turned towards the demon who was know covered in blood. She glared at me with red eyes, nothing like I had seen before. "If you want to take this house, you will have to defeat me." She said, "Oh, I know lets play a game, the winner gets to keep this house." She glared at me sending a cold breeze down my spine. "And the loser?" I asked nervously. "Hmm..." She replied in thought, "And the loser is to forever be a prisoner of the mirror!" I stepped back tripping on my shoelace. It appeared that the demon was growing. She started to grow teared black wings, and long, sharp claws. She growled and bared her sharp teeth. It was the most terrifying thing on earth, and I knew I was going to need something more than guts to defeat her. "What do you think of my killer style, the attire goes well for this situation." She smirked, "Probably a good time to get my claws messy!" That was it, I had enough. I screamed so loud that my heart seemed to pound three times harder. The demon covered her ears. "Stop!" She cried, "STOP!" But I didn't. I grabbed her by the wings and pulled her through the house floors until we were high in the sky. The moment the sun hit her skin her wings started to tear off, I was loosing my grip on her. I reached for her hands but she whipped her claws across my face. It stung really bad. Her red eyes were starting to fade out of their sockets. I was so confused. Then, I lost my grip and watched as she catapulted back to the ground. Slowly her pale skin started to peel off, before she hit the ground she was bone. I dropped down to the ground, her skeleton lay on the over grown grass. Had I won? Had I saved my life? I then remembered Tyler. I rushed into the kitchen to see Tyler standing in the doorway smiling at me. Tears rushing down my face I bolted towards him in an intense hug. I had never been so happy in all of my life to see that...that, you know. I let the tears rush down my face and hit Tyler's plaid T-shirt. As if by magic the white door in the living room turned gold. I cautiously opened it. I was relieved to see my sister standing by that dreaded mirror. "Ready to go home?" She asked. "You bet." I replied happily giving her a hug. "Thank you for setting me free." She said, "Now let me return the favour." She pointed to the mirror and smiled. I turned towards Tyler who nodded and walked through the mirror. The tears were streaming from my eyes. "I'll miss you sister." I choked through tears. "Me too!" She said smiling as I walked towards the mirror and was brought back to my time. As we left I caught a glimpse of my sister's shimmering gold wings soaring towards the heavens.
