Lucas's POV

It's been an hour since she left to the other dimension. Ever since she left I have been having lots of scenarios going inside my mind. It was the worst.

I decided to clear my mind by going for sword practice. I thought of sparing with someone and guess what. The training ground was completely deserted.

Literally deserted.

Oh great, I thought. I was about to leave the training ground when I saw no one and that's when Caroline, my sister or half-sister, came in. She saw me and gave me a smirk. Oh, I know that smirk. I better chicken out of here than her chickening me out. The way she charges at me with her sword is brutal.

As I was leaving the training ground as fast I can and pretending that I didn't see her. Caroline noticed and yelled out, "Where are ya going? Thought you came here to spare." I turned my head towards where the sound came from and yelled, "That's exactly why I am leaving." Caroline left out her evil-sinister-but-found-it-funny-laugh. God, that sent the chills.

"I won't go hard on you." Caroline came towards me. Showing off those amber eyes that she got from Dad. I wonder how he is doing though. Probably busy with his 'business' or whatever. "You say that all the damn time." Caroline raised her eyebrow a bit and gave me a confused face. "And you never did." Caroline looked at me and got pissed. It's easy to piss her off. "Jeez, just one game alright. Besides I am using it to talk to you." I groaned out loud completely annoyed by her. "Ok fine."

We started with our regular positions. Keeping our backs straight and calm composure. Caroline gave the first strike with her butterfly dagger, the most dangerous one. Her strikes started to get accurate, but I was good at dodging her attacks and dodging all of them. Then I strike my Jian against her dagger. Clash and clan it went. Later I swung my sword against her neck, but she was quickly dodged it. Shit, internal curse.

We went over with it till we got tired that was when the sun was about to set. And we decided to stop. I went towards the oak tree and sat down underneath it. And Caroline did the same. "Are you worried about her?" This person can literally read everything that is going in my mind. "Ya, but I can't do anything. I am a complete coward." Caroline put her hand on my shoulder. "You are not alright. What happened that time wasn't your fault. Besides, Maya isn't someone who won't understand you at all. I know how close you kids were." "You talk like a very old lady." "No, I talk like a very wise lady." I left out a laugh. That's when a thought suddenly hit my head. I thought of telling Caroline but knowing her she would literally punch to death before it actually happens.

"What?", Caroline asked as soon as she noticed that something was going in my head. "Uh, it's nothing. I just had a thought and want to do it. But-" then I looked at her "never mind." Caroline got annoyed. "Hey! You already let the cat's head out of the bag. Let the full thing out now." What a saying?, I thought.

"Fine. Don't get mad." "I won't." "Promise?" "Promise."

I looked down and hoped for nothing bad to happen. "I thought of going to the other dimension." 'Are ya nuts? What the hell did you say you want to do?' were the answers that were rumbling in my head. "Alright." "What?" "I said, alright. If that's what you want." I was puzzled. "Really?" "Ya really. But it will be a risk as you might get stuck there if Maya came earlier than you did. And Derek has kept lot security over there making sure no one goes in." She's got a point. How will I go there without anyone noticing me and that's when I realized something. "Hey, I am going to go get ready because I am gonna leave now."

The sun had already set. And it was the time when the people guarding the portal will start to switch their shifts. I ran to that place and saw that the people guarding the portal started to leave. I rushed behind the bush. I hid myself very well but that's when I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. A cold and strong one. God, I am dead. I turned and saw the person I didn't want to see before I left Sleepyhead, Elijah. This guy what the hell is he doing. "Are you going to the other dimension?" "Ya." "Oh, ok. Start going then otherwise people will notice." What the hell just happened? I rushed towards the cliff. I have only two minutes before the next shift arrives. I saw the cliff. It was deep. So damn deep. How the hell did she even jump?

I closed my eyes and counter till five. Took a deep breath in and let it out.

Five...Four...Three...Two...One...jump!

I opened my eyes and was surprised to see my surroundings. I landed on a shallow lake. There were lots of wrecked houses around the lake. But the sky looked completely contradictory to the surrounding on the ground. It was beautiful. Very beautiful.

And in front of me, I saw something even more beautiful. Her arm was bleeding, and she is clenching tight to prevent more blood loss. I got up and ran towards her. Maya. The girl I love.

She saw me and smiled. I smiled back and let small tears roll out my eyes. I want to hold her but something strange about her.

That's when I felt something block me and her. Our path was blocked. Maya looked shocked. And that thing kept on pushing me. And that's when I saw the reflection.
