The only thing I could do in that moment was run. Nothing else but run. Encased in the darkness and fog of the night. Running through the woods , through the dangerous and mystical forest, hunted by the dark shadows. It wouldn't matter to me in that moment if I got killed. Nothing else would've mattered to me in that moment. Not my friends, my family, not even me. And I did this all just to do one thing. Save him.

Krystal's P.o.v.
ONE YEAR EARLIER

"If you want to die then go ahead, but let me out before you do that. Now slow down Krys, or you will kill the both of us. " Scarlette was literally screaming, since I was driving over 200. But who cares anyways? I mean it was dark, no one was there and no one could see us. "Fine. I'm sorry okay, I just wanted to get as far as possible. Away from everything you know... " I replied. "Why? What happened ? " She asked curiously. But since I didn't answer her question, it made her more courious which made her ask the question one more time. "Krys, what the hell happened? And why are you acting so strange? " "How would you react when a stranger would come to you tell you that you have to do something you never thought of doing or ever thought of those things at all, tell you that you aren't the person who you think you are , tell you that you need to leave before you die and disappears like Hudini in front of your own eyes? " I now asked her with teary eyes. "You don't actually believe him , do you? " She asked. "At first I didn't, but now it makes sense. I mean he was right about the change I would feel , why lie about the other things? " I answered. "What kind of change? " She wanted to know. I stopped the car at the side of the high way beside the woods and told her to follow me, before I left the car. "What kind of change Krys? " She asked again. I didn't respond to her question. No , I was too scared to say the truth out loud. And since I didn't answer her, she shouted. "Krystal, what kind of change? " The last few words were coming out her mouth so slowly and dangerous. So I just looked at her, lost ,because of the fear that I would have to be going alone and scared, of what her reaction might be. I closed my eyes and got all of the power inside me so that I could demand the force of fire to me and by the time when I felt it in my fingertips, I let it spread out. Everthing was encased in fire but us.It grew larger by every second my anger and anxiety was increasing. "That kind of change" I replied, waiting for a scream or a scared look on her face. But there was nothing like that at all. Instead, she was happy and said how awesome my powers were. Was she drunk? Maybe on drugs. "Scarlette I'm dangerous. I can't always contol it. Don't you get it. " I was wondering if she understood the situation right now . Maybe she was thinking that it was some sort of quip "I know that you're serious Krys" she said "I just find it pretty awesome that you have those powers. You're likse Elsa.Just with the power to control fire instead of ice." "You're crazy , do you know that ?" I laughed.

"Where are we going." Scarlette asked. "This man gave me an address.He told me to pack my things and go there. I wont be alone he said, there will be other people." " So you're gonna go there and trust some stranger?" "He was right about the change Scar, what could he possibly do to me ? I mean we must be connected in some way if he just shows up and disappears.And what if he's right? What if I will die when I won't go there?" " I just have a bad feeling.That's all." The rest of the way Scarlette was sleeping.When we got to the desired destination, we were in the middle of nowhere, where a lake and a huge castle wrapped in a fence of gold and platinum was seen. "Wake up Scar, we're here." She opened her eyes and wasn't so sure about what happened. But I guess she remembered after a few times of blinking since her before tired face, changed into a curious awake one. "Where are we?" She asked . "In the middle of nowhere" I sighed. "Okay , I'm gonna go and get the baggages, and you're gonna try to find someone who opens that gate." She pointed her finger at the fence. I nodded, before I left and got near the gate. "Hello? Anyone there ?" I shouted. But no one answered. Strange.I looked at the fence and how the curled gold and platinum ran into each other. It looked so beautiful. So I touched it. I had to touch it. But when I did, the fence started to move.It was going apart.What just happened ? Magic
"Krys I have to go , my mom just called she's pretty worried about me and she wants me to come home." "Do you really want to go ? I mean you could stay here" "Well, it looks like there are no visitors of guests allowed." She pointed her finger on the sign near the fence."No Visitors allowed! Risk it, and you will die " I spoke out loud. "You don't actually believe ,that do you ?" I asked."No, but I don't want to risk it." She said before she gave me a hug. I gave her my keys and watched her drive away. Seems like it's just me. Forever alone. I entered the property and felt an ice cold wind touch my skin by the second I did.I took few more steps foreward but had to stop because a voice made me. "Looks like someone found her way in.Congratulations. You're not as dumb as I thought you were." I was shocked because of the man's voice I heard. As I turned around, I saw him standing right behind me. At first I thought he some sort of angel that fell of heaven, but then the reality drove me back to the real world. He had brown hair, was definetly taller than me and all he wore was some black pants, black shoes and a black t-shirt which revealed his tatoo. "I'm Aaron, Aaron Blake. And you are Krystal I gues." He said and waited for my response. "How do you know my name ?" "Well your friend called you Krys earlier so I thought it may be a shortcut for Krystal." "Yeah but most of the people would say Krys is a shortcut for Kristine or Kristina." "Well then I guess I' m not like the other people." "How long have you been standing there? And why didn't you let me in?" I asked."We don't let strangers in.I had to find out if you're really one of us.No one can get through the gate if the castle doesn't let you" He said emotionles. "I'm Fane, Krystal Fane " I said."The Krystal of the night. Well let's go inside ." I nodded and followed him into the castle which doors opened by the time we stood in front of it. Was everything here automatic ? The castle was inside and outside a dream. It was beautiful and mystical.Its appearance captivated me. "You like it huh? " He said. It sounded more like a statement than a question but I still answered him. "Indeed I do." I didn't notice the other man who entered the hall, sice I was still intrigued by the beauty of the castle, until he hawked.
