Cursed Mind

Chapter 17

*Phoenix POV*

I looked back up at the mountain. It was just sitting there, with no one for company.

"Hey Al, I'm gonna run back up the mountain I left something."

"Fine but take Austin with you"

"Alright fine."

I started walking, tears poured out of my eyes. Alex wasn't the only one who saw something. I didn't have to touch the chains or whatever it was. It was powerful magic and it wasn't good.

**vision**

The walls were black and the smell was like those mothballs to keep away snakes. I was inside a cage. Actually it was more of room like one in a castle. I looked out the one window and it was high high off the ground. I was pushed (Wait physically pushed come in more people) and I fell and fell and fell until I hit the floor. But it didn't hurt I looked up to see me standing at the top with Peter. Peter jumped to but landed on his feet.

"Now you listen to me"

He started to kick and yell horrible names (I can't say to you or you'd go insane as well). Then the other me helped me up after she jumped and landed. She smiled and said let's get this fixed she waved her hand and the scene changed.

I was sitting on a throne, no bruises, and no scuff marks. A boy walked in with Peter, he was in chains it was Austin. I screamed. He smiled and the scene before me turned to blackness.

It was pitch black but I heard more voices and fire, people were screaming and yelling and dying. But I sat here all alone. A voice came out of no where.

"Little Aphrodite so nice of you that you could help me with my fun. Because you should be burning but you are not so I will do something much worse."

I started to scream the pain was unbearable and all I could do was sit thru it. I finally after throwing up was set on fire and my mind started to play tricks on me. Everyone on the trip was dead and I was halfway there. The pain was like no other and it couldn't be described but I tried. It was like a hundred knives were turning you inside out and making pools of blood fall from your head and into you stabbed heart but it was possible that I could already be dead.

**Vision Ended**

"Phe please wake up, please I need you." Austin yelled.

I sat up and I was held in his arms he finally smiled.

"Don't you ever do that to me again."

I shook my head and hugged him, he kissed my forehead and smiled. I coughed and looked up we were only half a mile away from the jet.

"How long have I been out."

"Phe it was over a day."

"Did you stay with me?"

"Yes I did and it was worth it."

"We need to head back"

"About that, a sand storm came through and I don't know where we are."

I hit my head with my hand and sighed. And tried to think through this. I wasn't a daughter of Athena like Alex but I had some brains.

Okay so we are lost so to say, I have been half dead for almost a day and now what more pain.

"We're only half a mile away. I don't think they'd leave without us," I say getting to my feet. Austin and I walk down the path that we had taken when we had first got here. The path was covered with sand but I was able to pick out landmarks that I remembered. Good thing Austin had me, or he'd be a lost puppy out here.
