Locked In

Chapter 9

Scarlett's POV

"Let's do this once and for all," Connor said with a slight smirk. We all go hand in hand once again. A bright light appears from out of the sky, ripping it, literally. The light was in the exact place Raven was standing. It was like a pillar of light. The beam of light started pulling Raven up towards the sky, but it wasn't strong enough, Raven didn't want to leave.

"All we need is a human sacrifice," Connor whispered, looking down. He observes all of us, thinking who would be a perfect match. His eyes laid on Nadia. Perfect. But he's not cruel enough to force her into the beam. It had to be natural.

"I'll go! Raven! We can be friends again! Take me with you," Nadia breaks apart the strong grip on her wrists and runs to the beam. Suddenly as Nadia gets in the middle with Raven, her cloud forms once again. It's happening.

The 2 girl's rose up to the sky, slowly but surely. Once they were a few feet off of the ground, Lana pulls out a small knife from her back pocket and makes a huge slash on Nadia's leg. Nadia doesn't care though. I saw the girls fly up to the sky. Once they crossed the tear in the sky, I heard a whisper, "I will make you insane too." Then another, "I don't care. Thanks for being my friend." and the hole closed.

We arrived back to the prison. "Finally, we're in a normal world again," I sighed. I take a look around. The prison is actually quite beautiful without having some psycho roaming around. Sure, it's creepy, but at the same time, beautiful.

"I'm really going to miss having my own world," Connor whispered, turning around to see if the hole was still there. But it's not. It's gone. "Can't you ever visit there?" I asked. "Well, of course I can. I created it. I have a special chant that can transport me there anytime, anywhere. It's just that now, since we're in the normal world once again, I just realized how many memories that place holds. I just don't know if I want to remember all of them." exactly, i love this so much too

"Isn't remembering a good thing?" I asked, giving a small smile. He smiled back, "There are many good memories too. I'll definitely won't ever forget those, I hope. But some of those memories will trigger a few things." That last bit, I could hear his emotion. His sadness. Now I understand. Connor's world has been home to him and his friends for many years. The fact that it's an extraordinary world with even more special memories, it's just hard to leave something like that. A home. Doesn't even need to be on this world. Home is a place with people you love, and with those people, you create the most amazing memories. Now that that home is gone, we don't know if Connor and his friends could ever experience things as amazing as it was in their own world. I just hope the best for them.

"Follow me," I said quietly while getting up. I take him to Raven's cell. I hold open the door, revealing writings of blood and dozens of letters scattered on the floor. "What is all this?" Connor looked around the room, examining all the bloody writings, all about him. There was a mask in the corner with painted-on huge eyes and circular pupils in the middle with a smile.

I handed him all the letters on the floor. We both sit on the floor, not caring about the blood. He quickly read them all, then handed them back to me. "But it's about you, not me," I said while looking down at the letters. "Keep them. When I visit you guys again, bring them," Connor gave a small, but genuine, smile. I gave one back.

I get up and grab a piece of paper and use a small pencil I found on the floor to write a story. My story. Everything that I did, saw and experienced will be documented on this paper. "Who's this for?" Connor asked from behind me, still on the floor.
