The Imaginarium

Chp-22: The War

After collecting some courage, Harry spoke breaking the awkward silence, "C-Cady..." Cady looked at him with her eyes a little bit swollen and red due to the constant crying. Harry gulped and continued, "Taurus was disguised as your father Liam. Ava worked under Taurus. All this was planned, our escape, Bob helping us, and us meeting 'Liam', all to send us back to our original world. But, Taurus is going to come here and fight with us to end all this for once and for all. He has..." Harry closed his eyes took a deep breath and said the next statement in one breath, "He has killed your parents, Liam and Jennifer." Cady was shocked, she felt hopeless. Harry buried his face in his palms. Cady felt like everything was falling apart. Harry said, "Everything will be alright...don't worry or panic.." Cady got up and shouted, "DON'T PANIC! YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN!? You don't know how it feels to know your parents are dead and the so-called son of Satan is coming to finish you! Have you ever felt fear and pain!? HAVE YOU!?" Tears started to roll down Harry's cheeks, he got up and went upstairs unaware of where he was going. Cady fell on the couch and began to cry loudly. She said, "I have lost everyone, my parents, and Alexa! She...I don't even know how she is! And Harry...oh my god.."

Harry was just standing in the corridor, depressed by the fact that he was helpless. Suddenly a female voice shouted, "Who are you!?" Harry looked to his right and said, "I'm Harry, and you?" the girl replied, "I'm Alexa. Oh, Harry! Harry the Dreamweaver!" a small spark of hope ignited in his despondent heart. He asked, "You were in the Imaginarium, then how are you here? " Alexa sighed and replied, "Those cruel people sent me back here...what matters the most is I broke a few of their bones but my bones are perfectly intact! So, yay!" Harry chuckled. Alexa walked downstairs and screamed with happiness, "CADY!!" Cady turned behind and quickly got up. She ran toward her and hugged her tightly. Harry too walked downstairs and stood a few inches far from them so as not to disturb their reunion. Alexa and Cady pulled away from each other and Cady said, "Harry...I'm sorry, look, I was not in the state of mind and I just shouted at you, I'm very sorry.." Harry nodded and smiled. Alexa interrupted, "You two are cool now, great! Well, Taurus is going to come here any second! Yeah, he said when I reach he'll come a few minutes after... we are screwed." They heard a faint rumble coming from upstairs. Cady got goosebumps and there he was...Taurus coming towards them. He was grinning devilishly and said, "Well, well, well... it's a three versus one! Three amateur kids versus Lord Taurus! We are going to create history! Harry, oh poor Harry, you are going to experience what your parents experienced." He pointed his hand toward Harry and levitated him in the air. He threw him quickly but with a lot of force toward the T.V. Harry crashed with the T.V and fell. Cady screamed, she was not able to believe what just happened. Alexa raised her hand and fired a beam of fire toward Taurus. The beam of fire burned Taurus's arm a little bit but seemed to have affected him a lot. He groaned and levitated Alexa in the air and began to choke her. Cady shouted, "PUT HER DOWN!" Alexa was trying desperately to release his hold but Taurus's powers were way too strong. Soon her eyes had shut and she fell on the ground with a loud thud. Cady was traumatized by all this. She thought to herself, 'If these two were defeated by him in one minute, then what would I be able to do?' Cady sat down near Alexa and began to sob loudly. Taurus said mockingly, "Oh no, our sweet little bird is crying!" Cady looked at Taurus with her eyes filled with rage. She imagines Taurus being burned in flames and the next second her imagination turns into reality. Taurus's shrieks echoed throughout the room. But, the fire began to vanish away. By the time she imagined Harry and Alexa alive and well. And that's what happened, she was not able to believe that she was able to use her powers. Harry shouted, " I am not able to control his mind, he is too strong" he was groaning trying to control Taurus's mind. Taurus said, "You thought you could control my mind!?" Alexa shouted, "Cady comprises of mine and yours, Harry, powers." by saying this, Alexa and Harry turned into two flames, one pink and one orange. These two flames entered Cady's body and she felt a sudden flow of a very strong energy inside her. She levitated in the air and many beams of light were emitted from her. The next moment she and Taurus were standing in a white room. Taurus said, "It's the final face-off...I'm gonna tear you into pieces!" Taurus pushed Cady with a lot of force backward using his magic. Cady ran toward him and levitated in the air. She looked him in the eyes and imagined his mind being completely manipulated. Taurus began to scream, "STOP!STOP!" he was groaning in pain. Cady then imagined him burning in flames, and Taurus's screams became louder. Suddenly she was pulled down to the ground. Taurus moved toward her, lifted her by his hand, and began to choke her. Cady imagined Taurus's powers being sucked out. Taurus's grip on Cady's neck loosed and she fell to the ground along with Taurus. Again, a beam of light passed from Cady to Taurus, due to which, Taurus turned to ashes.

Cady opened her eyes and found her in the living room, with Harry and Alexa looking at her. She got up and they hugged her. Harry said, "You did it! You killed Taurus! You saved the Imaginairum!" Cady's eyes watered up. They pulled apart and Alexa said, "I always knew you could do it. I'm so proud of you!" Cady said, "We did it, if you guys didn't give me your powers and helped me I couldn't have done it." Alexa and Harry smiled. Suddenly they heard a voice that said, 'We are proud of you Cady. We are so proud of you, dear.' Alexa said, "Your parents will always look after you in the form of pure souls, Cady.." Cady nodded. Finally, a bright smile appeared on their faces.

10 YEARS LATER

Cady walked into her room along with Harry and Alexa and found the Imaginarium book. She dusted the dust off and opened it. She began to browse through the pages and a smile appeared across her face. She said to them, "Even though I never visited the Imaginarium after defeating Taurus, I could still hear the people of Imaginarium remembering me, thanking me. I can see how happy they are now that Taurus is no longer their ruler. They are better without a ruler." Harry said, "You changed the history of the book. You changed what had been written using ink. You created history." Cady smiled and said, "We created history!" They shouted with joy together, "WE CREATED HISTORY!"
