Mystical

Two Strangers

Amy's POV

"Damn it aly! I told you not to drop the lizard tail!" I nagged my friend who was layered with ash and slime from the potion that she blew up earlier.

We were both messed up and very slimy.
I heard Alyce snicker beside me as we teleported outside the university with my magic.
"It was wiggling okay? DO YOU KNOW HOW SCARY THAT IS??" she shouted in my ear.
I groaned and shoved her face away.
"Okay fine! I really wonder how you are so good at alchemy when you have fear of insects and small creatures.." I mumbled loud enough so she could hear me.
She just used her normal annoying 'lol i dont care' smirk and leaned against the wall.
Everything was normal as we chatted when i felt a strong presence from one of the bushes.
I went quiet and looked around.
"Amy? What's wro-" She stopped.
She must've felt it too.
A strong aura.

And then we heard a sound.

Echo's POV

Fuck.

I don't know what I saw just now so I stayed quiet. I tried to move a bit since it was getting quiet uncomfortable crouching down and boy, did i mess up.

I stepped on a branch.

I kept cussing i my head of how stupid i am and regretting all of my life choices.
The two girls were quiet now.
But I flinched when the girl with freckles shouted,

"Come out and let us see you!"

I was frozen.
I gulped and peeked out a bit seeing them both hold their weird looking sticks that looks kinda like a wizardy wand.
What the fuck am i thinking?
This isn't some harry potter shit story.
Stupid echo.
They said the same thing again but the voice was kinder this time.
I finally gave up and slowly.
So slowly.
I stood up in sight.
It was very awkward yes. The only sound that can be heared was the wind blowing and i could even hear my own heartbeat.
I fiddled around as they stared at me with confusion. Wait no i'm the who should be doing that.
Anyway, the girls were wearing robes. Wizardy robes again.
Jeez I need serious help maybe i'm getting too addicted to harry potter.
I decided to just investigate the both of them.
The first girl had nice light brownish white hair with freckles and glasses.
The second girl was.. Pretty. She had brown hair and blue eyes.
Wait what am i thinking-

I was caught by surprise when someone talked.
"Who are you?" The brown haired girl asked.

I took a deep breath and thought of an answer.

"I don't know who are you?"

Okay that wasn't a valid response.

The freckled girl laughed.
"Good one" She said.

Okay, this is getting hard let's make a name for them both...
How about, Freckles and Brownie?
Yeah?
Okay let's continue.

Anyway, Brownie smacked the back of her head.
Must've hurt.
"Right, Sorry about that. You're not one of us are you?" she said pointing at me.

"One of what? A cult? Sounds suspicious" I huffed.

Brownie sighed and nodded slowly.
She turned to freckles, whispering to her as they whispered to each other for a minute and what seemed like 1 hour to me freckles finally spoke up.

"Well, You don't seem evil so nice to meet you I'm Alyce Willows and you can call me Aly!" She said enthusiastically, handing out her hand for a handshake.

I shuffled a bit before deciding to do the same.
"Echo. Echo Lance." I simply said reaching and shook her hand before letting go.
"Nice to meet you too." I added smiling.

Then, it was brownie's turn. I can sense that she felt a bit unsettled before she gave in a did the same of what aly did.
"Amy." she said shortly.

I stood there for a while before saying, "Amy..?"
But she didn't say anything besides nodding.
I understood and shook her hand.
Amy opened up her mouth to say something but they were called in by a female voice.
The two girls looked at each other and then me.

"You need to go. Fast!" Alyce said and pushed me towards the path i came from earlier.
"Wait wha-"

But when I wanted to finish my sentence,

I blacked out.
