Another World

The Past Part 3

•---Past Leila---•
I made it to the top of our little project first. Liam was still climbing. I sat on the barrel before gently pushing the metal grate up. It moved. I smirked. Looks like the vampire brat underestimated us. He's not as smart as he thinks he is. "Liam c'mon!" I say as he reaches the top and we climb out. We quietly close the metal grate and glance around. No guards. Wow. He really isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

There's three different pathways. I know which one to take. "The middle one." I calmly tell Liam. He glances at me and nods. He knows I always know where to go. We don't know why I do, but I'm always right. We tiptoe quietly down the pathway. We freeze as we hear two voices heatedly arguing through the doorway we had just been about to pass.

"Zayn your being weak. Just get it over with already!" A girly voice shouts. It sounds like the girl who was with him earlier when they captured us.

"I'm not being weak Perrie. If those kids are going to be the reason we fail, killing them would be unwise. If they're really that powerful, imagine how we could use them!" Zayn replies. I could almost see him smirking.

"Zayn. Your the leader of the Shapeshifters. You fail, we all fail. You really want to risk it?" The girl called Perrie states.

"If it means harnessing the kids incredible powers, yes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go check on the lovely little kids." He smoothly replies. I look at Liam, my eyes wide.

"Hey. What're you kids doing out here? Thought you were the prisoners?" A voice behind us says. We jump and spin around ready to fight, but we see a guy with brown hair swept to the side. He's wearing a long robe that's changing colors every second and is covered in little carrots.

"Uh.. Erm.." Liam stutters. There was something magical about this guy. He was really cute, he had pretty eyes, but he also looked mischievous.

"Us? Prisoners? Haha definitely not." I calmly say. "You better run off before I tell Zayn your treating us this way!" The guy in the robe just starts laughing. "Why are you laughing? This isn't funny!" I angrily snap.

"Sorry, sorry Leila. Oh! I didn't introduce myself. I'm Louis, the greatest and most powerfully awesome sorcerer in the entire universe!" Louis chuckled.

"How'd you know my name?" I asked curiously.

Louis leaned in closer and whispered,"Im Louis, I see and know aaaaaalllllllll," he winked at me. I laughed. Louis didn't seem like a bad guy, I thought to myself.

My brother, being the overly cautious person he was stepped in front of me and glared at Louis as he said,"We're leaving. Now. Bye."

Louis was about to say something but then me and Liam realized something. It had been dead quiet in the room next to us for about a minute. We heard footsteps heading toward us and me and Liam whirled around to see Zayn and Perrie standing there.

"Er Louis? What're you doing out here?" Zayn asks. He didn't even glance at me or Liam, who were standing right in front of him. I look at Liam who doesn't dare move, but I see his confused expression.

"Oh just talking to myself. It's quite enjoyable! You should try it sometime! You see there's this spell that makes yourself TALK BACK!" Louis stated way too excitedly. Zayn and Perrie glanced at each other with a look that said "he's clearly out of his mind."

"Er um okay Louis. I-"

"Actually, I go by Louis, the greatest and most powerfully awesome sorcerer in the entire universe!"

"Uh. Louis. We caught the kids you told us about. Are you sure its them? I mean the girl is just a child. It just doesn't seem lik-"

"Did you forget who your talking to? IM LOUIS. Aka the greatest and most powerfully awesome sorcerer in the entire universe, as i have now told you twice. I know and see all. It's them alright. Speaking of which when's the last time you checked on them. Bout an hour right lad? You shouldn't underestimate them. Go now or you'll regret it. Hurry."

"You better not be wasting my time." He said coldly. He sighed and grabbed Perries hand and ran down the hall.

Louis watched them go as he turned to us and smiled. I was utterly confused! They hadn't noticed me or Liam the whole time! "How.. Did.." I stuttered.

"Simple invisibility spell." He chuckled. "Now, get out of here while you can!"

"But-"

"No buts. Hehe, i said butts. We will meet again. I promise. Good luck! Go down the side hallway. Not the main one. Oh and remember this- Your both capable of more than you think. And Leila, you have a long, hard life ahead of you."

I was just about to say something but Liam grabbed my hand and we raced down the hall. "WAIT!" I cried, "What kind of life?"

He just winked and waved. "We will meet again!"
