Stronger Than Magic (Jedward)

Chapter 13

sorry guys this took a while but I have school and a job and not that much time to write.. I do write whenever I can, and I often get stuck in a chapter... Well anyway, I hope you understand, and finally, here's chapter 13 :))

Chapter 13

"Edward, there you are!" John said and smiled.

I looked at the blonde guy standing with the door. Me and John had a special connection - a connection I did not have with this guy. That was not John. I knew it, only by looking at him.

"Look, boys, if this is not acute, I suggest we talk about it tomorrow," Ms. Harrison said.

I looked at John. I was confused, and not sure if the situation was acute. None of us replied to Ms. Harrison.

"Alright, then," she said. "I will look after Leah until she wakes up, and you two - go to your room and get some rest."

I got up and left the room, with no other words being said. I could only focus on John. He was walking before me, and did not look back, not even once, yet I could clearly see that he was smiling. It was not a friendly smile. Far from it, actually. It was the devil's smile; heartless and evil.

"You're not John," I dared to say. That was when he stopped and turned to me - still with his ice cold smile.

"Correct," he said, before his eyes was transformed into red, and hair into long and black.

I felt my heart beating faster as the person in front of me showed itself; Lis. Yet my face expression did not change. I had to focus on the fact that my brother could be in serious danger.

"Where is John," I asked seriously.

"Don't worry, he's fine," she said. I didn't like how calm she was. It made me feel like the whole situation was worse than I thought.

I never got the answers I was looking for, and it filled me with anger. The fact that my brother and I nearly had been torn apart made me angry. I did not even know what torn us apart. I knew that little. I'd had enough of this puzzle.

Without even realising, I was holding something that looked like thick, blue smoke in both of my hands.

"Look, I'm really tired of this, just tell me what the hell is going on, or else I'm using my magic against you," I threatened, but it did not seem to help - she just laughed.

"You wouldn't hurt a fly, Edward - only to protect the ones you love. We both know I'd win this fight." It was like she saw right through me - I wouldn't hurt anyone. If someone tried to kill John then maybe I would hurt them, but only if it was needed.

The smoke vanished, I didn't say a word as Lis turned and walked away. She was heading towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" I asked. She didn't even answer. She just left.

I could have followed her, but I decided not to. Following had only caused me trouble so far.

I stared at a campfire and bit my lip, with dark woods surrounding me. I didn't know why, but I felt different... In a bad way. It was as if there was something inside of me, telling me what to do. I didn't feel responsible for my own actions. I did not like it. Not at all.

"I'm confused," I said. The words just flood out of my mouth. I couldn't help it.

Before I even knew it, I turned my head to my right, and saw Lis sitting next to me. When I looked at her, a couple of weird feelings hit me. She felt like a friend, or a person I could trust. It felt like she had control. It felt like we were going to be together for a while. It also felt like she was on my side... But there was that one feeling I did not feel. I wanted to, but I just didn't. There was no love...

"Don't worry.. You'll get used to it," Lis said and shook her head. "Just don't tell Edward."

The dream was cut off there. My alarm had woken me up. I turned it off before I leaned back in my bed.

I was shocked. The dream had already happened - I could remember it. It wasn't about the future, but the past.

But that was not all that shocked me, because I dreamt it from John's point of view.. Not mine...
