Imaginary world ( The half world chronicles)

Chapter 25 Derek

The morning came incredibly slow, Peter tried to make me sleep, but it just couldn't after the night we had. The sun had risen about half an hour ago, and i couldn't keep myself in one place. Peter was asleep and even snoring on the bed in the room. My leg was killing me, and I had the feeling that my annoyance increased with every passing second. I had no intention of staying here for a second longer. I leaned over Peter.

"We have to go, get up."

"Just five more minutes. "- Peter took the pillow and covered his head with her, he was one of the people who could sleep anywhere, anytime.

"No, now! It is morning, let us disappear faster than light from this cursed place." - i started to shake him and his head swayed as a bubble head. 

"OK, OK. " He slowly and grievously managed to get up and go to the bathroom and wash his teeth. After 15 minutes, we were ready to go.

"Peter It's time to find out who Miss Carole Chase is, and what's with all the madness of last night?"

After 1 hour of touring the little town, I was at the third address in my phone. If this wasn't the one I was totally lost, my last clue would have evaporated and we would have to start from scratch. We got out of the car and headed for a white two-story house, the garden was well maintained and planted with flowers. I stood in front of the door and held my breath, raised my hand to the bell, but before I pressed it, the door opened and a girl my age looked right into my eyes. A slight smile blossomed on her mouth and in that instant she looked like someone, and suddenly I knew who he looked like, she was a spitting image of Carol. She had the same beautiful features, rebellious hair and eyes with single eyelids, enchanting and warm.

"Why are you late?"

"Excuse me, how come I'm late, i don't even know you." My head was starting to spin, what in the actual fuck. The last week was filled with abnormal things, but this just struck every record.

"Oh, you took Peter! I'm glad you decided to tell him about your gift or you would have been lonely during your adventure."

Had i confused the door, was this a psychiatric clinic instead of a house or maybe some new age psychic crap, what were the things that the girl was grunting about? It was better to leave.

"No, why do you want to go so soon, it's early? I have to tell you so much, and here take this" - In her hand there was a small tablet. "That'll fix the pain in your leg." 

"How did you know and where is Carol, who are you, me, what am I?"

"Are you a witch?Niceeee!" - Peter's tuned in the conversation. The girl gave him a bored look and sighed.

"He's not that smart, isn't he? But he's a good friend."

"Hey. "Peter started protesting, but I was not in the mood for childish shit.

"Can I get an answer to one of the questions I asked." i was exasperated.

"Come, I will tell you what I can."

With Peter, we took a step forward, and in a few minutes we were sitting in the living room sofa, and the girl got us iced tea. I swallowed the pill, hoping it was not poisonous.

"Of course it's not poison, how rude. "She said indignantly.

"Do you hear what i think?"

"I can see what you think, minutes before you start to think it, it's a little more complicated. I didn't even introduce myself, my name is Silvan. And Peter, please stop thinking how not to think where you hid the porn or how do you want to know how many girls you were going out with ? And no I will not sleep with you."

"But I."  Peter tried to defend himself and was all to comic to see how his tiny brain was about to explode all over. 

"Well, Derek, my name is Silvana and I'm an oracle, one of the strongest oracles born in the last millennium. My little sister, Karol, came to warn you of the danger last night, but she didn't do a particularly good job because you almost died." She smiled.

"Why can I see these beings, Peter can not and others can not, why am I special? Can you tell me what I have to do since you are an oracle. Is Carol an oracle too? Are my parents are also special?

"Hold your horses. I will start from the beginning. You are chosen, there are always two people in this world who can see beings and fight illusions. Their fate is bounded up with the of the crystals of Eternity. This crystals will divide our world from the Illusion world. You are one of these people. There are a lot of things you are not supposed to be told by me. Your parents are also special, but not in the way you think, the gift is passed every fifth generation, the other four generations are the bearers of the gene that makes you special. From now on, many difficulties are waiting for you until you finish your path. I can not tell you what to do because I do not know exactly how I will change the future. That i think covers most of your questions.

"I don't understand, my parents do not know they have the gene. Has no one told them? And what should I do to fulfill my destiny. I have no idea what my destiny is." - i was getting at a level of hysteria that people associated with three year old leaving a toy store without a new toy.

"Relax. "Silvana frowned, and in seconds the front door opened and Carroll entered.Her smile changed first with surprise and then with a understanding.

"That's why you told me to get home earlier today. "She turned to her sister. She had folded her arms in front of her chest and looked at us with narrowed eyes. Like in some way i have conspired with Silvana for this to happen.

"When I told you to come home earlier, I didn't mean for you to run away from school. This will not fly with our parents and you know it. Carol scowled even more and quietly cursed, or i think i heard a curse.

"Hi guys you're still whole and alive, that is superb. The Goblins have apparently lost training."

"Can't you be a little bit more tactful?" Sighed Silvana.

"How long will I be punished this time?" Carol flop on the sofa.

"You will not be punished because you will not be in home when the the evil bearrers come home?"

"I don't understand what do you mean."  Carol was staring whit disdained  at her sister. "Where the hell will I be if not here. "And then as i watched her eyes glowed. "Oh no, you have got to be kidding me I'm gonna have to be their babysitter.

"Can someone make us part of the conversation?" I complained.

"Of course I'm your nanny starting today. "Carol roared.

"From now on Carroll will be with you, I will explain to our parents that she had to go. They will understand."

"Well, I should have been borne a freak so my mom would let me do what I want." Peter intervened, sighting and looking a little jealous.
