One Mistake

Chapter 14. Ouch my side

Austin's POV

When I put my hand on the outline, I didn't expect for it to give me a huge headache. I looked around and saw a field of flowers all around me, so many I couldn't even see what was beyond them.

I tried moving but my feet were stuck to the ground. As I was trying to get free someone appeared behind me. The person got down and got me unstuck. As soon as I lifted my foot the scene changed to a room full of portraits.

 I stared at the one right in front of me, it looked like me but a bit older and handsome. I looked at the one right next to it and saw a portrait of Wyatt and yet again older. His eyes seemed to be full of pain and sadness unlike the Wyatt I know. It seemed weird and creepy.

I looked beside Wyatt's and expected to see a portrait of Chandler but instead I saw a portrait of Adriana. Her frame was decorated with jewels unlike the others and a bit bigger. She seemed happy enough in the painting but she looked like some type of queen with her crown and dress. 

I went by each one and saw Ava, JC, James, Cloie, Ethan, Winston, Kenzie, and Aaron. They were all older in the portraits than in real life, like about five years older maybe. I wondered why only these people. 

Then I remembered, where did that person go? I looked behind me and saw a hooded figure looking at the portraits on the other side. I knew these people weren't my classmates but they had something to do with the portraits that I was just looking at. 

I stood next to the hooded figure who seemed to be looking at one specific portrait. I looked at it too, it was a picture of a girl with brown hair and brown eyes, she had a big smile on her face as if she was excited but something about it seemed fake. 

The hooded figure pulled back her hood and revealed her light brown hair with some purple at the ends. She seemed to be crying. When she saw I was staring at her she ran down the hall and I followed, but little did I know that a group of guards were preparing to attack me.

I started to panic. Why does this happen to me? 

I started running the other way and ran into another group of guards. This is it, i'm going to die in a dream. Worth a shot fighting to death than not trying I guess. 

I looked down at my waist and saw a belt with a sword attached to it. Perfect I thought. I started running towards the guards on my right and slashed them to death. 

I was about to slash the last one on my right but then the group on my left started charging towards me so the only smart thing to was shrink down so they think I disappeared.  

When I shrank they got confused looks on their faces. I chuckled at the thought and ran through the door. 

The more time I used my power, the more tired I got. I went back to normal and ran as fast as I could out of the building or whatever it was. As I got near the exit a cannon was shot. Who would shoot a cannon inside? The cannon slightly hit my side but it still hurt like hell. I kept running unless I want to get even more hurt. 

I was out of the building and onto a bridge made of gold. How were these people so rich? I looked back and realized that the building was a castle and was partly made of gold too. 

As I crossed the bridge I passed the village and saw many villagers giving me looks of sorrow. Is my side that bad hurt? I stopped behind an old trading post stand. I leaned against the side and slid to the ground. I looked down at my side and saw it bleeding badly. That was alot of blood. My shirt was partly burned where my side got hit by the cannon. 

I started taking deep breaths as looked around hoping to see some kind of water source, maybe that would stop the pain. I looked to the right and saw a river that looked so fresh. I tried running towards it but I fell a few times on the way there.
