Sara Waters' Origin

Chapter 12

Erick 

I couldn't believe what I saw. I couldn't believe that Bill gave in to Jake's lies. "Bill! Bill snap out of it!" I yelled, as he later dropped to his knees. It was like he was defeated. "Bill! You need to fight back!" Nothing changed, nor was I successful of reaching through, considering that Jake's stupid force shield is blocking me. I gotten desperate to try to reach him, and Bill. That's when I notice something at Bill. He was looking directly at me. As I hit the force shield I fell on my back and gave a small whimpered. "Bill! You need to fight back! I know that you're scared! That you think that I don't care about you, but you're wrong to think that way, Bill!" 

Than I saw that slimy trickster, Jake whisper something in Bill's ear. Making his eyes widen even more. Damn it! Jake and stupid tricks. That's when I realized that all that desperation attempt was giving me nowhere, and the only way to save Bill was to tell him the truth. "What a minute?! That's it!" I thought, as I smiled at Jake, who looked at me with fear in eyes. Ha! You're not the only one with a bag of tricks, Jake! I know what's your role here. The bond won't work without honesty. "Bill! I know you can hear me! What Jake says, it's true, the serum that Seth injected changed me as the reverse medicine did with you! At the beginning, you were nothing but a thorn at my side and I wanted to get rid of you as much you wanted to get rid of me! You changed me, Bill! You're more than my other half! You're my friend that I grew fond of! Please, Bill, fight back!" 

Just like that I laid down on the ground with my right paw over my face, and started to cry. "I know I was selfish, Bill! But I'm not anymore, and it's because of you! Even though it has been  short, I'm glad that we gotten to spend time together! And I... I want to-to spent more time with you! Bill, please, you got to fight back. Bill!" 

Younger Bill 

Strange, even though, I was hypnotized, I couldn't help, but to feel bad for Erick. Seeing on that ground, crying. Not to mention, opening up his heart to me. Is that what this trickster want? For us to open our hearts? I might as well do the same as Erick is doing. But first I have to shake Jake off. 

"You jerk," I stated, as Jake looks down at me. "You think you know everything about us? Don't you? You think that you can break us apart with your tricks. You're wrong. You're...Dead Wrong!" 

My eyes became normal afterwards and I saw Erick on the ground, crying. I started to cry too and ran up to him. As I reached to him, I felt the force shield that surrounded Jake and I. It didn't stopped me though, I just continued running until I was able to hug Erick. When I did hugged him, I noticed that he was still crying. "I know, Erick, I know that we were a mess at the beginning, when we met a few minutes ago, but that's why we are here," I said, to Erick,  petting his head. "So that we can get to know each other when we had that taken away from us when we were kids. I can't blame you for the way you feel right now. And I am also glad that we are having this time together because I grew fond of you too. Don't cry, Erick, please, don't cry. Everything is going to be alright, just like you said. Just have faith." 

"You're not mad at me?" Erick asked, looking up at me with such sad eyes. 

"No, why would I?" I answered, slowly brushing his tears away from his eyes. "Erick, you had every right to feel the way you feel because you were wronged by me. You, Ariana and so many others. For so long, I am making for all the crap that I did, I didn't realized that I was still hurting people including you just by ignoring you because of that stupid reverse medicine. I'm so sorry, Erick, I'm sorry." 

With a few tears of my own escaping my eyes, I hugged Erick so tight that I didn't want to let go, and felt that he put his head around me. We were so busy with each, we didn't realized that Jake was walking towards us. "Congratulations, you two," he said as we looked up at him. There still tears in my eyes and Erick was completely pissed. Not that I blame him. "You pass the second stage. Honesty and forgiveness."  He later took a bow at us and left, leaving us alone again. 

Erick        

I hate that slimey trickster, Jake, just so much right now. Glad he'd left and hope he never comes back. I was so scared of losing Bill before, I'm even more so now. I heard him yawn, which made me chuckled. "Come on, I know a place where we could rest," I said to him, as he nodded and rubbed his right eye. I gently lift him up with my head, making him land on my shoulders. "Erick?" He called, before I started to take off. I turned my head towards him and answered. "Yes, Bill." "Are we still friends?" He asked, the question made smiled considering that I was hoping he asked it. "Of course," I answered, as he smiled at me. "Always." 

And away we went. 

An hour passed and as Bill sleeps peacefully on my back, I stopped at a Treehouse closeby, where we were greeted by a bunch of fairies. I smiled and urge Bill to wake up and see this for himself. When he did, he smiled and said. "Wow."  

Anyway, the fairies were kind to us and allowed us to stay at their place. While we were there, we saw how big the Treehouse is and the number of rooms that was able to contain. We even saw another one of Bill supernatural counterpart, Emerson, who was kind enough to show us our rooms in the far in of the Treehouse. It was strange, considering, it was just an empty room and in the middle of it was a big leaf that twist and turned. Though in the middle you see this big hole. "There's plenty of room for the both of you," He said, with a friendly smile. Both Bill and I hesitated at first. Than I allowed Bill to go in first. After that I followed. 

"Well, good night, you two," Emerson said, as the big began to move and closes up on us. "Night Emerson," we said, as our eyes began to close.
