Three Worlds Apart

Chapter XIV, Kamber

I watch as Dawson, Kriss and Alex walk towards me. Noah isn't here yet, since I live here I was already here.

Kriss and Alex are walking close together, I can sense terror radiating from them all. It's probably coming from me too.

"Kamber are you sure you want to do this?" Dawson asks. I take a deep breath and nod, "We have to." I say. I have to know what I am, what my parents died for. I want to know it was worth everything, it has to be.

Kriss takes a hold of my hand, "We'll figure it out." She says. I can only nod.

"Okay!" Noah says walking up, "Who is ready for an adventure!" I roll my eyes, "We are going with you but we are not calling this shit an adventure."

Noah sighs, "You guys are such downers." Dawson and Alex exchange a look, I have a feeling they are not going to take much of his shit. I won't either. I thought he was alright but obviously I was wrong. 

"Are we going or what?" Kriss asks quickly, I smile inside, she knows we can't stand his stupid face.

Noah motions for us to follow him, so we do. What else is there for us to do?

I've explored the woods many times so many times that I navigate easily, Kriss has a harder time getting through the trees. Dawson snickers when a tree branch slaps back in her face, I can't stop a small smile from appearing on my face. Noah laughs cruelly, only Alex is able to keep his face neutral and pulls the pine needles from her hair.

"How much farther?" Kriss grumbles. 

"Not too much farther," Noah promises. Good, that means this shit will be over soon. I stare a head of us looking for anything that might suggest where and what we are doing, nothing. There is literally nothing ahead of us except for trees and the mountain range.

"You know what?" Noah asks, "That mountain range is a lot closer than you think." We look at each other, what the hell does he mean?

Noah grabs my arm and Kriss' and then looks at Dawson and Alex, "Grab my arms." He instructs. Dawson sighs but they both grab his arms. Noah sticks his foot into the shadow of a tree and we fall, don't ask me how. It was like in Kriss' room that time. Whatever Noah, Dawson and I are Noah and are the same kind, something is different about Dawson.

When the darkness fades and I can see again I realize we're standing at the foot of one of the mountains, no wait. We're standing on a ridge on one of the mountains, it seems familiar for some reason.

We follow Noah as he starts up the mountain path. This time Kriss has the easiest time of us all, she navigates the path without trouble using her power over the air to steady her. When she sees the rest of us struggling, Kriss uses her power to help us too. Well all of us except Noah, she let's him struggle on his own. Which the ass deserves.

Noah yells for us to stop, "Kriss you go first, then Alex, Kamber, me and then Dawson." He says. I roll my eyes, "What does it matter?" I demand. Noah rolls his eyes back, "It matters or I won't tell you anything." We look at each other and sigh, we do as he says.

As we walk up the path I can't help but notice that Noah is close behind me, I hate when people stand right behind me breathing down my neck. Makes me feel like I'm going to get murdered, especially when it's Noah breathing down my neck.

I can't believe I ever thought he was alright, really he just wants to use anyone who he thinks can get him what he wants.

Just as I'm starting to relax thinking nothing will happen until we reach the top, Noah acts.

Dawson let's out a sharp cry, we swing around and find him dangling from the ledge. That's why I thought this place was familiar, I saw this happen in my vision.

"Dawson!" Alex yells. Dawson holds onto a small outcrop of rocks, I go to try and help him but Noah holds us back.

"If you want to-" I cut him off, "If we want to know what we are we have to leave him." I roll my eyes. Noah glares at me, "Yeah."

"Just go," Dawson says, "Do whatever the hell he wants, find out what the hell we are and then come and get me." Noah smiles, "Do what depressed lover boy says." 

With one last look at Dawson we leave and follow Noah off to where ever the hell he wants t take us.

We walk for another 20 minutes before we finally reach a cave.

"In you go!" Noah says cheerfully, "Then we can begin."

I glare at him, "Okay asshole, time fore some answers. You either tell us why the bloody hell you pushed our friend off a cliff, dragged us all the way here and what the bloody hell you are trying to accomplish!" If I were a child of fire I would be smoking right now, that is how bloody frustrated I am. 

"Well my dear-" Noah starts but I cut him off, "I am not your dear and I never will be," He sighs and shrugs, "Fine."

"Why are we here and why is Dawson hanging from a ledge?" Kriss demands.

"Screw this." I snap, "I don't care what I am, I'm done with this. Let's get Dawson and get out of here." I turn to leave, Kriss and Alex follow.

"If you leave now Dawson will die."

Noah's words stop us in our tracks.

"I need a specific type of person to use as sort of security, if you won't help me I'll kill him and you will have no one but yourselves to blame." Noah smirks.

"Then. Tell. Us. What. We. Are. Freaking. Doing." I demand. 

Noah grins.

"We are bringing my parents back to life."
