Always and Forever [Book 3]

Subconscious Part 2

Foxy: IT'S THE DRAGON!

Foxy yells with her shell voice. Then she hides under the chair that is next to the fireplace. The dragon lands. He sees me and then turns to the chair where Foxy is hiding. With his hand he moves the chair and Foxy is revealed frightened. The dragon stands on its two legs ready to attack. I notice there are pieces of woods next to me so I grab some and throw them to the dragon. It turns to face me. The dragon opens it mouth and I can see that something orange is in its mouth. Without thinking it twice I jump under him while it spreads fire around the place. I grab Foxy and start running. The dragon is behind us. He knocks me down and Foxy fells off my hands. The dragon opens its mouth and fire is spreader over Foxy. After the fire stops I can see that the white fox is gone. All I can see now is a figure laying down he ground. The dragon stands there still looking at it. The figure stands it's half body on its arms looking at the dragon. Then I recognize the figure. It's Rachel.

Rachel's POV
I stay there laying on the ground. I look at the dragon. Then I stand my half body on my arms. I see Damien next to the dragon watching me trying to understand what is happening. I stand up and I cast a spell. The dragon is thrown back in the forest. I run to Damien.

Damien:Rachel? What the hell?

Rachel:Yeah, I know. It's complicated. I turned into a fox in order to hide easier. And now you'll be wondering why I didn't chose to transform into a mouse.

Damien: I know why. Because you are innocent as the white colour and a trickster like a fox.

I smiled at him.

Rachel:You know me so well.

Damien:Rachel, I came here to bring you back. Your family said that I'm the only person who can bring you back because I have big influence on you.

I think of it but the dragon interupts mu thoughts. Me and Damien stand up and run into the woods in order to hide. We hide behind the trees and we can hear the dragon looking for us.

Damien:Rachel what are we going to do?

Damien speaks to me but I don't answer. I keep thinking.

Damien:Rachel? Rachel!

I look at him.

Rachel:Damien you have to go.

Damien: What?!

Rachel:You are not the person who has the biggest influence on me. I am. I have to bring me back. I have to fight. By myself.

Damien:I'm not leaving you again. The last time I did that, dark magic entered in your mind.

Rachel :But you have to. I'm sorry Damien.

I kiss him and with a move of my hand he dissapears. I take a deep breath. I turn to face the dragon. He looks at me for a second. Then he throws fire balls at me. I dodge it with my magic. I hide again behind the tree. Then I see light in front of me. I cover my eyes from the light in order to look what is that. Then I see a figure. She walks towards me....

Damien's POV
I wake up and everyone is lookin' at me.

Katnice :What happened?

Freya:Did it work?

I look at them disappointed.

Damien:I don't know.

Rachel's POV

??? : Hello Rachel.

Rachel:Who are you?

??? :I thought you'd recognize me. I'm Hope. Hope Black. You may have heard me as your grandmother but you can call me Hope.

Rachel:Wha-? How are you in my subconscious?

Hope:I entered in order to help you. Your power is greater than you think. You can control that dark side of you that you have now. You just have to believe. I have to go now. Believe Rachel. It's the only way.

Then she disappears along with the light she came from.

I turn to face the dragon again this time more sure of what I was doing. I remember that I am on my subconscious. I can do whatever I want. I attack the dragon with my magic. The I run towards it. Before I fall in its arms I slide under it grabbing a weapon - that I created- from the floor while the dragon turns to face me. I stand on one knee stabbing the dragon with the sword.

Real world
Everyone stands next to my bed worried adn talking. Suddenly they hear something and turn around. They see me coughing. I stand up still coughing and then a light appears from inside of me. It throws me on the wall while throwing something else on the wall too. I get up while the other figure gets up too. I look at it and looks back. It's the dark me. My family is looking at me. Wondering. They are ready to attack to the other me.

Rachel:No!

I yelled at them.

Rachel:This is my fight.

The dark me smiles and then laughs.

Dark Rachel :You think you can defeat me?

She throws at me a dark magic ball. I fall down but get up right away. I throw back a nature magic ball throwing her on the floor too. Then her eyes turn black and she laughs. She moves her hands and throws me against the wall. Then with her magic she flies towards me grabbing me from my neck. I can't breathe. I remember the time I had panic attacks. This is worse. She is much more stronger than I am. I look at my family and then at Damien. He looks at me, his eyes locked on mine. I tear falls down my cheek as I close my eyes. I look back at Dark Rachel. I remember Hope's words. "Just believe". I close my eyes again and then with a scream I push with my magic Dark Rachel at the other side of the room. She gets up as I look at my hands. A colorful aura is around them. I look to my family again and they see my eyes have are colorful. Not brown as they usually are. I look back at Dark Rachel and notice that she's worried. I scream again, this time my hands pointing to Dark me. My magic is around her. Her magic gets back in me but this time I can control it. I look back at my family as I let out a sigh of relief. They all run to hug me.

****************************

I sit on my bed when I hear Damien walking in.

Damien :Hey are you OK?

Rachel:Yeah. Hey can I ask you a question?

Damien :Sure.

Rachel :You didn't tell anyone of what you saw in my mind.

Damien:Of course not. But now that you don't want them to know I'm gonna tell them.

I grab a pillow and I hit him in the face with it laughing.

Katnice :Rachel! Come eat!

Damien:Come let's go.

Rachel :Ok I'll be right there.

He leaves the room and I stand up to put the pillow back on its place. I place it and then I look at a stuffed animal. A white fox next to it. I grab the fox with my hand and I smile. I put it back on the bed and leave still smiling.
