down the witches road

Death's hand in mine

We were falling, falling and falling into nothingness. The wind hugging my body as I fell, no way out...
—————————-
"I was falling...." Lilia whispered as she was stunned in her place as I turned to her, "yea we both were," I told her as she looked around the tunnel we were in, "where are we?"

"You very clearly said we haft to follow this tunnel and look for shelving?" I told her as she looked at me with a confused expression while she tilted her head, "shelving I don't know what that means!"

"Neither do I but I listened to you." I responded to her as she continued to look round in panic as I tried to brush off some mud from my shirt, "where's Agatha and Rio!?" She shouted as I turned to her and sighed,

"Listen I don't know where Rio is you told me that-"

"Teen kicked us off the road." She stated as I raised my eyebrows and folded my arms over my bump, "no the son of the scarlet witch kicked us off the road," I corrected her as she narrowed her eyes at me,

"What! Teen is the son of the scarlet witch!? How do you know!!" She shouted as I tilted my head at her and let out a small chuckle, "I told you,"

"Yea." I simply responded as I turned to carry on walking and traced the soil with my fingers as I walked by, water was dripping from above us, "I'm filthy!" I groaned as I looked down at myself,

"You're filthy!?"

"Yea fittingly you and I had a very grounding heart to heart conversation," I replied with a small chuckle as she caught up to me, "Us really?"

"Okay rude five minutes ago Lilia wouldn't have said something like that! You said this might happen but you've been extra... whispy" I defensively said to her as she furrowed her brows at me, "whispy?" She asked nearly shouting as I slowly nodded, "kooky"

———————————-
We carried on walking as Lilia suddenly stopped and began to breath heavy causing me to turn around, "your confused again? It's okay-"I asked as she slowly nodded before speaking, "I'm not! Confused." I looked at her for a second before turning around slowly nodding.

I sat down on the floor with a sigh as I placed my hands on my stomach with a hum, "don't worry I haven't heard them since the subway station." I told her as she was looking around at the roof but as I spoke she looked at me confused, "the seven?"

"I know that!!" She shouted defensively, "you look at me and see some daughtering old fraud.." she finished as I tilted my head at her with a slight furrow of my brows, "what else am i meant to see when I look at you?"

We turned away from me as she looked at the wall behind us and I stood up with a small grunt, "no no tell me." I slightly demanded, "you mentioned something about gaps?"

"The flow of time is an illusion lyds most people don't realise that, when I was a child I experienced my life out of sequence I would get these flashes these gaps. Now it's happening again and i-it's getting worse-" she told me as a small tear fell down her cheek as she spoke the last three words.

"That sounds terrifying." I whispered as she slowly nodded, "why is it getting worse?" I asked as she met my eyes with a small sigh, "maybe because I'm close to the end."

I looked at her and shook my head, "no your not don't say that!" I said to her as she looked at the floor, "you mean the end of the road don't you like all of your power is returning?" I rushed as she slowly looked back at me,

"I'm not sure if I want that-!"

I was stood next to teen who was watching the scene of us unfold with widen eyes, "Agatha!? Get off of me!" She shouted as she pushed Agatha if top of her as Agatha snapped at her, "Lilia! I was trying to help you!"
