Opposite Blue

Chapter 67 - Stronger

Amelia's View:
* His name is Shattered.

I froze at that name.

How...how did they-
I swear I erased everything.

* Do you know 'em?

"...Where did you find all this information."

* Online, and looking through very old newspapers, it took forever! So I'm guessing you know h-

I stopped time.

"Sis, are you okay?"

"No Ellie, this is bad, really bad."

"Why? Who is this Shattered dude?"

I used magic to let Ellie remember.

"Oh crap-"

"I can't risk using the spell again Ellie, it has bad side effects! If they try to bring him back, I don't know what to do.."

"Tell them why he's an evil person."

"They're barely even teenagers, how would they react? And they'd probably tell their parents, they'd come ask me, then I'd end up undoing the spell!"

"Right...but spells don't last forever Amelia. Something will trigger their memory one day."

"That's the part I worry about...the day I cast that spell, it was under Blue's order. But if the spell is undone, he won't remember telling me..."

"Maybe erase their research?"

"They'll still remember.."

"It's still better than doing nothing!"

"Right..."

I used magic to erase all their research and resumed time. The twins looked at us.

* -im-

"I don't recall that name no..."

* Your reaction said otherwise Amelia! C'mon please tell us!

I looked over at Ellie, what was I supposed to say??

* There's no point of hiding it, we have the proof right- wait where'd all the documents go?!

The twins looked at one another before looking at Ellie and I.

* You took it!

"You two should get back home for lunch. You know Dream don't like people missing at the table. :) And we didn't take...whatever research you're talking about."

I opened a portal for them and Ellie gently pushed them through.

"This won't go well..."

Dream's View:
The twins came through a portal, just in time for lunch. They seemed...very annoyed.

* Is everything okay twins?

* No, Amelia took our research!

* Research on..?

* I know you told us to look into it anymore but we couldn't help ourselves!

* We found out who the mysterious person was!

* His name is Shattered! God we've said that name too many times today...

That name felt so unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time...

Shattered...

* He looks me.

* But he's a corruption of light, not pure darkness.
