~~~Amyra's POV~~~
Without a word, within a second, without a thought, I returned to the 'Returnost' as we called it, enchanted the spell that could let me home, and opened my eyes. My throat went dry at the thought of all that had happened before me.
~~~Raven's POV~~~
I watched the ceremony till the end. I could sense that Amyra. might be more than shocked. As The One motioned us to go back, I reached for Amyra's hand, trying to soothe her. But my hand greeted empty space. I looked at the spot she was standing on, but she was nowhere in sight. I searched the whole place, unable to find her, suddenly worried.
Relief washed over me, once I read that she had mind messaged me she was safe.
Back home, I analysed the whole situation. First, her weird behaviour. Avora's death, then worried look all the way down the halls, shocked expression on seeing both these guys. They were either ones of the lot-Shyera, Tanyra, Irwin, Ashton, Silvee, Kelvin, Oh how many were they! Then she disappeared all of a sudden. How was that and why? Well, weird. That must be something.unexpected...I'm such a BIG fool! She had mentioned only Avora's death, not any others'!
Which meant....... Oh.my.god.
I needed to call anyone of my besties right now. Amyra was the first name that appeared, but I shoved it away, knowing she needed to be by herself at the moment.
The only one that would be available and best right now would be...Drake.
I dialed his number before my mind could give it a second thought.
"Hello? Dude? Everything alright?"
"Yepp. Just needed to talk to you."
"Fine. Come over."
"Your beach house, right?"
"Yupp."
"Fine then. Reaching in fifteen."
The sound told me he had hung up. I grabbed my car keys, and drove to his house.
"Hey, buddy!"
"Hey Drake."
"So...how's you?"
"I'm good. It's about Amyra."
"What?"
I told him every detail of what had happened. And his face showed plain pure horror. Drake was one of us, too, but being on a rank higher than me, he and Amyra had shifts. Amyra's was today, while Drake's wasn't.
"Drake?"
"Raven, I think it's time for me to appear."
"No! Drake you can't do that! You can't risk your life just because Amyra is one of you besties! Heck, even Amyra won't approve it!"
"So? Raven, Amyra is like a sister to me. And a brother has a right to do fix something for her when it goes all wrong!"
"Drake, are you fully aware that it would get you back into the dream state, and you could get killed another time, and there's no way to revive you?"
"Yes I am, dude. One thing, though. I can still be alive if I turn back to a human, which I rule out, since I would...."
"Forget about us." I completed the sentence for him.
"Exactly. I'd rather be dyi-"
"Shut up." I snapped, angry at what he was about to say. Actually, it should be me who should be doing it. Not Drake. Hell, he had seen as many things in life as compared to even Amyra, and yet he was able to forget about it, and move on. And yet he was willing to risk his life for Amy. And not you. A voice at the back of my mind suggested.
