Halfling

Chapter 3

There were lots of things that were strange about Amy. Why wasn't she asleep when she was in the van? 'I smashed a hole in the ceiling and snuck in' said Amy. For a moment I thought that she could read minds but then I realized that I had asked the question out loud. 'It's going to piss those men off when they find a hole in the ceiling and a hole at the back of the van' Amy smirked as she said this. 'Do you know those men?' I asked. 'Not really' said Amy. 'I know who they work for. Not personally but of I've heard of the leader. I can't tell you any more' said Amy seeing that I was about to ask another question. 'Tell me at least who the leader is' I said wanting to know more. 'A per... power hungry person.' The moment Amy said this I knew she was lying. She had almost said something else and she was fidgeting with her hands. 'You're lying.' I said. Amy stared at me for a while before asking me: 'How did you know I was lying.' We had now walked deep into the forest. I could hear the birds singing and saw a squirrel climbing a tree next to us. For a moment I thought I saw something strange drawn on its back but it had already disappeared into the tree and I thought that I had imagined it. 'You were fidgeting with your hands and you almost said something else.' I answered. Amy had stopped walking and was staring at me. 'What?' I asked after a minute. 'Come with me' was the answer that I got. Amy grabbed my arm and started running. I had no choice but to run with her. We were running fast now. So fast that the trees were blurring. Is it even possible to run this fast? I thought. I wasn't even out of breath. At one point I realized that Amy was whispering something under her breath. I tried to hear what she was saying but suddenly I heard a loud noise. It sounded as if someone was tearing a huge sheet of paper. The space between the trees in front of me seemed to shimmer and suddenly a black hole appeared there. It looked like a large wide cave entrance only it hung there attached to nothing. I tried to see what was in it but all I could see was darkness. As we got closer to it I felt Amy push me and I stumbled into the darkness. I felt Amy jump in after me and land gracefully next to me.

I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black. I heard the loud tearing noise again and felt as if I was falling but my feet stayed on the hard ground under me. Even though it was pitch black and I felt as if I was falling, I was calm. It was as if I had done this before which was impossible. Amy was whispering again and this time I could hear what she was saying. She was saying the same words over and over again. 'Aperi officium Cararum.' I heard the same loud tearing noise and this time I saw a white hole appear. It had the same shape as the black hole. It was glowing very brightly. I felt myself getting pushed which annoyed me. It was obvious that we had to go through the white hole. I started to step into the white hole but I felt Amy push me harder which made fall through and land on a polished wooden floor. That girl didn't have any patience! Stood up and saw Amy step out of shimmering air and into the room. 'Sorry for disturbing you, sir, but something unexpected happened during the mission' said Amy to somebody behind me.
