Soul Shards

Chapter 11

Ross's POV:
I woke up the next morning to see Katie and Abby lying on the ground in front of Trott...... As soon as I saw him I dropped to the ground and started crying which woke up Abby and Katie. "He, he's gone."
"Ross it's not your fault you tried to save him," Abby said crawling up to me and giving me a hug. "It's not yours either you did all you could," Alex said talking to Abby.
"It's none of your faults it's Azazel's, he is the one that killed him not you," Katie said. She grabbed a sheet and covered Trott's body with it. "I just. He had so much to live for."
"Had?"
"Well he is gone now isn't he."
"No he isn't gone he is still here still in all of us, Trott was our best friend he still lives in all of us," Abby said calling him Trott, "about the only thing we can do now is kill Azazel make sure he dies in pain, he doesn't deserve to live in this world he has killed to many people close to us." Abby was right Azazel killed my mother when I was young; Trott's sister when she was just 5; Katie's parents and grandmother who was looking after her; Hannah's first boyfriend before Lewis; Lewis's older brother and his partner; Duncan auntie; Kim's uncle and Sjin's mother, father and sister. Azazel had hurt us in all sorts of ways but now this had crossed the line he had hurt us all, he had to pay for what he did to all of us.

I leant on Abby and wiped away my tears. "Shall we cremate him, let him have an Oderrus burial," Katie said wiping away her own tears.
"No, he will need a body when we bring him back," Abby said.
"And how are you going to do that?" Alex asked.
"I'm not sure right now but I know it's possible."
"You can bring him back!?" Katie asked.
"No I can't, but I know who can." I knew exactly who Abby was talking about but I wasn't sure if he would hear her or even listen.

Alex's POV:
Once everyone was awake we decided to burry Chris with a little bell so if he was alive again we could dig him out. We left him in an unmarked grave in the graves of other Oderrus, mainly it was just ash jars with unmarked graves, but there were few who were buried in their bodies. Abby put a hand on my shoulder. "I will find him, I will make him bring Chris back," Abby said.
"He won't listen to you, he doesn't listen to anyone. We don't even know his name, no one has ever seen him."
"I have."
"You have?" Ross said over hearing us.
"He came into my room when I was 8 and told me to hang on to this," Abby pulled a dragon necklace out of her pocket, "forever and pass it down to my children and their children."
"What is it?"
"Not sure, I just know that it's made me more powerful then I should be at this moment even being able to control all three powers."
"Why not give it to me, isn't usually the first borns get that stuff," I said.
"I don't know, he just said to keep to with me always."
"Maybe if you call him again after you bargain to get Trott back you can ask," Ross suggested. "Maybe. I have a feeling it brings me power and allows me to see and hear things that a normal Oderrus wouldn't." I was curious, I wanted to see him as well and ask why and what is that. Abby put the necklace on over her crystal and we walked back inside.

Abby's POV:
We just sat in silence for ages just silence. Ross spoke up as it was just Alex and I, everyone went to their rooms to grieve. "Back in the arena I could see the symbols when they were the ones on you guys could see, and I teleported."
"I don't know Ross," I said just in a general bad mood.
"Come on I want to see something," Ross said and Alex and I just followed him down to the arena. "You broke it right, but I still shouldn't be able to see it," he said closing the door so we could see. "Yeah? Where are you going with this?" Alex asked. Ross put his finger right on the break. "This is where you broke it."
"Luck?" I said.
"No," he touched another one in the break, "again the break is here. I can see them."
"So that mean you can control Wizardry as well. So your like us," I said.
"I don't know really but all I know is that these are either not strong at all and Azazel was tricking us or I am like you two."
"Well they can't be weak I couldn't teleport but I could talk to you, which doesn't require any power really. And you couldn't use fire, yet your strong in Elemental."
"So maybe I am."
"Teleport behind me." Ross tried to teleport but couldn't. "I think it was a one off adrenaline thing," he said sadly. I took his hand. "Teleport now, I hardly teleported last time the power was between us." Ross this time teleported but with me. "You did that," he said.
"No I didn't I swear."
"Maybe he isn't like us but partly, and because you are soul bound when ever you touch your powers become stronger and spread out between each other," Alex suggested.
"Ross can you teleport now," I said. He tried and did but it took all his energy. "I think I might be right, your giving Ross power because you two are soul bound. I have never heard of that happening. I have heard of soul bound being stronger around each other but never giving each other their powers."
"It might have something to do with this." I held my dragon necklace.
"Oh my god it does," Ross said suddenly.
"What?"
"I have seen him too I totally forgot it's like it was erased from my memory but he gave me the necklace too."
"Where is it."
"Come with me, I don't want to say it out loud." We all held hands and Ross teleported to his place. We went to under the stairs and in a compartment which was well hidden there was the dragon necklace he put his on and both of ours, their eyes glowed a bright dark blue. "So this is why he gave it to you, because he also gave it to Ross," Alex said.
"Yeah I guess so."
"Come on we better get out of here, this place isn't as well protected as the tree," Ross said and we all held hands again and teleported out of there back to the tree. Ross Seemed to be really tired but that was common when learning a new ability especially ones that were brain straining.
