Escaping From Reality

chapter 25

"You think it's him?" I wondered.

"Yea, well he was you're only friend" replied Stephan.

"But .." I started ." I don't know the time , or when will it happen or even sure it's Draco"

"We need to wait .. Have patience Lia " he answered just as a knock on the door made our hearts sink with fear.

"Wh-who's there?" I managed to say.

"Phillip" he replied. I knew it was him. His sweet gentle voice that always comforted me. I opened the door and saw the handsome him staring at me with his bright loving eyes. He came in but frowned a bit when he saw Stephan.

"Hey" said Stephan.

"Uhh..hey?" Replied Phillip.

"I missed you" said Stephan.

"Yea.."

"I'm sorry ..I really am, I was scared Phillip. I loved you so much but I was paralyzed ,I was so young" explained Stephan.

"I know.. it's okay "replied Phillip a bit broken.

"I want you back!" He said "I want my friend back"

"I wanted you , I needed you , where were you then?huh? I was drowning in a creepy waterfall and you left me .. You left me ..can you imagine how hard that hurts? I expected that you'd pull me up or something like you always said 'you loved me'. You didn't even care Stephan. You never loved me. You let me down when I needed you most! I thought you would be there for me. And now what? Expect a bloody hug? After all you'd done, after all the fear and troubles you let me face alone.." said Phillip, so angry... so broken.

"I didn't know what to do! I was scared"

"Scared?" He cut him off "I WAS DYING AND YOU STOOD THERE LIKE A STATUE AS IF I WAS NOTHING TO YOU"

"Phillip..." started Stephan but he cut him off again.

"You shattered me! You were the only good thing I had,Stephan, I had no parents ,no friends, a little sister whom I took care of , I was hated by almost everyone and you lef-... C-can't you imagine how painful it is ? To wait for the only one you trust, the only one you care about, to save you and then he just shuts you out!"

"I tried to save you .. Something was pulling you and I was desperate. I went home and kept crying for days ,I couldn't stop , I thought I had lost you. Even a few months ago ,before I knew you were alive, I cried every time I saw your gift.." Said Stephan.

"What gift?"

He got out a letter ,in it there was a key. A key for their secret shelter where they met to spend time together.

"You..kept it? Said Phillip ,he calmed down suddenly as if he remembered a good memory.

"Of course I did, I couldn't imagine you were gone. I went there everyday Phillip... Everyday .. I've waited for you to come back, I had a feeling that you were still alive. I love you pal."

"I love you too" he said as he ran quickly towards him and hugged him tightly.

I smiled, happy to see my brother back with his friend.

"Okay now" started Phillip "did you read the book?"

"Yes a few pages..it's all about spells and potions , it's kinda hard to memorize " I replied.

"Fine then, get it and we'll continue together.."he looked at Stephan "the three of us"

"Okay" I got the book and opened the last page I reached. "Spell six: to make a fire..

Say " inferno"
And what your eyes stare at will burn .." I stopped.

"Try it" said Stephan.

I looked around me but there was nothing unimportant to burn. I balled my hands and said "a chair" and a chair appeared. "Okay.. Inferno" I said as I stared at the chair..but as usual nothing happened. I stared again, glared , peered till finally it burnt and turned into ashes.

"That's creepy" said Phillip.

"I know..let's just continue .." I read " last spell: the forbidden spell: back to life "

"Wait.. If it is forbidden then why is it written? Aren't they scared that it might me used?" Asked Phillip curiously.

"Maybe for evil people.." I suggested.

"We won't need it , just skip it" said Stephan.

"Okay.."I started " but it said 'last spell' what about all these other spells ? It's a huge book!"

"Give me the book" started Stephan. He looked through the pages, taking a glimpse on the spells. "These aren't for waterfall cursed people "

"Wait, you mean there are other people cursed with other ways? That's horrible!"

"We don't know if they are good or not so we must try to avoid them" said Stephan.

"How would you know?" I asked.

"I don't know..."

"So what now?"I said.

"Just a second , there's a note written " he started to read " Note: you can invent your own spells and curses but only these seven don't change! Use them well. "

"Nice" I said.
