The Awakening

Chapter 13

Hey guys! So in this chapter, I was really getting ready to stop writing altogether, and I had taken a big break from this. But i decided to get another chap done and then i finished the book a few weeks later. Um, this chapter is weird, maybe cause i read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe while doing this, so maybe got some ideas from there. Well, enjoy!

"Socks?" Natalie asked, poking her head through the door. "Yeah?" Socks said. She saw that he had taken out a few dummy's, but his mind wandered somewhere else. "Can you follow me?" She asked. "Uh, sure." Socks said. He put his sword down and followed her out of the room. She went into a bedroom with hardly anything in it, and Socks looked around at it. "Is this your room?" Socks asked. She sighed. "Yeah, it was me and Zack's room. That's why there's hardly anything in here." Socks knew that it was hard for her. She lost so much, and it just seemed to happen all the time! "I want to show you something, but you can't tell anyone about it." Natalie said. "I promise." Socks said. She went over to one of the walls, and he heard a small 'click'. "Come on." she said. He went over to the wall, and she revealed a hidden hole in the wall, and inside was a lever. She pulled it, and the wall jerked, and turned to a hidden room. Socks gasped. Inside was a library. It was the largest library he had ever seen. "My parents made this for me and Zack. They said that books hold more worlds than in real life." she said sadly. "What happened to your parents?" Socks asked. She sighed shakily. "After I felt the feeling, I looked around for them. I did. They were together, but something or someone...killed them. They had both been stabbed. I cried for two days. The wolves gave me space. They were my only family left. After that, I knew that I had to watch over the world. It gave me peace of mind knowing I was doing something my parents did." Socks saw that behind her was a little table, which had a picture of what looked like her with her parents and brother. "Anyway, this is what I wanted to show you." she said. She went over to a door and opened it. A thunderous roar filled the room. On the other side was a waterfall. "How is that possible?" Socks yelled over the noise. "My parents were one of the strongest Tueres. They could make anything possible." Natalie said. Then, before he could react, she jumped into the waterfall. He was stunned. What was she thinking?! He took a deep breath, and jumped in. The waterfall pushed him down into a small lake. He burst out from under the water and gasped. He swam over to the shore, and pulled himself from the water. He realized, with a shock, that he was completely dry. "Over here!" he heard Natalie say. He turned to see that she was half-way up the biggest tree he'd ever seen. "Come on!" she said. She continued to climb the tree. He saw that it was a forest, and a mountain range surrounded it. This would be paradise. The sun here was setting, and the sky was dotted with purple and pink clouds, while an ombre of yellow to orange filled the sky. "What is this place?" Socks said. He went over to the tree and began to climb up it. By the time he had reached the top, he was out of energy. "Come one!" Natalie said, and ran off onto the other treetops. Socks was amazed that she could climb a tall tree and still have energy to run. He got up and started to run after her. He looked around the world. It was filled with life and adventure. He saw an eagle flying right beside him. He was amazed that it flew right next to him. "Socks!" Natalie yelled. He turned and saw she had stopped ahead. He ran over to her and saw two gold vines heading into the clouds and disappearing. "Why did the eagle fly so close to me?" Socks asked. "Over time, the animals got used to us. I remember an axolotl actually hung out with me all the time." Natalie said, a small smile on her face. "What are these?" Socks asked, feeling the golden vines. It thummed with energy, and seemed to give off energy. "Honestly, I don't know. There is a lot I actually don't know." Natalie admitted. She grabbed one of the vines, and it curled around her wrist, and tightened. "My Dad always set this up for me and my brother, and we would see this every night before bed." Natalie said. Socks saw that the vine had wrapped around his own wrist and tightened. A small thing of panic lit inside him. "Um, where is this going?" Socks asked. "We are going to the top of the mountain." Natalie said. The vines jerked, and they went soaring into the clouds. Socks panicked at first, but then the sight he saw would never leave his memory. The land was bathed in the fading sun's rays, making it look painted in gold. It was much bigger than he thought. The eagle was flying in between them. Socks was amazed by all of this. A whole world behind a door! He saw the mountain top coming into view. As they got closer, the eagle soared away. They landed at the top, and the vines disappeared. Socks stumbled a little. The ride up was exhilarating! "Turn around Socks." Natalie said. He turned, and saw the whole land lit up. He could see almost everything from here. "Wow." he breathed. "I came here a lot after everything I went through. It helped me focus on the important things." Natalie said. "Why would you show me this?" Socks finally asked. "Because I know you're thinking about what I said. About the future. I need to warn you Socks, you can't predict everything. The future will remain unknown for now. It is best to let it happen." Natalie warned. Socks was quiet for a second. "Okay. I'll put it aside." he finally said. "Thank you." Natalie said. She went over to one of the rocks on top of the mountain. She opened a hidden door that led back to the library. "How is that possible?" Socks asked as he followed her through the door. "My parents were incredible at pretty much everything." Natalie said. She turned back to the little table. "They meant the world to me." Socks looked around at the library. "Wait, Natalie, what's that?" Socks asked suddenly. "What?" Natalie said. She turned to his direction. "I don't see anything." Natalie said, confused. "It was right there!" Socks said. Then she saw it. A bright figure appeared, stared at them, then disappeared. "A power host." Natalie said. "Why is it just standing there?" Socks wondered aloud. "Maybe because it's waiting for the right time." Natalie said. "Natalie, we need to open the letter." Socks said suddenly. "What? Are you insane?!" Natalie said. What was he thinking? "Listen, I know that I don't have an ability yet, but if we waste more time waiting for it to stab me, the we lose Jooice more and more. Don't you remember what Zack said? If he tries to escape Chaos, then he's gone. He'll basically commit suicide without even knowing!" Socks said. Natalie could hear the pain in his voice. He thought he lost one friend, he couldn't actually lose one for real. "Okay, but let me say this. Chaos will show no mercy. He will try and kill you." she said gravely. "I'm willing to risk it to try and get Jooice back." Socks said flatly. "Okay. Then we leave tomorrow morning." Natalie said. Socks could feel the fear wanting to take over, but he couldn't let it hide him in the castle. He was going to fight Chaos, and he was going to get Jooice back.

Yeeeeah. Weird chapter. I don't know why I decided to put a huge library and fantasy land behind a door, but just don't ask any questions. Just don't. I am mentally insane (at least i think i am mentally insane, not sure what others think) and i have some crazy sh*t in my mind. But also, I don't know why i use other languages in my stories, i just like it. Um, also, if you guys have any questions about the story, pls let me know asap. And guys, I can't thank you enough for all the views and votes on this. I did not expect this at all, so thank y'all so much! But next chapter, Ima do it in 2 parts cause ima evil like that >:)
