World X

Chapter 3- The Saving

   The hour came really slow. As we walk up the street. The darkness started coming. The street lights flickered on and off then completely off after we got to the destination.

   Looking straight ahead to what looked like a dementor from Harry Potter  which we had on our planet as well which is the greatest movie. Had Skylar in his grasp by the collar. Zoe yelled, "Skylar it's going to be ok, we'll get you out of this. Tell me he or whatever that is, didn't hurt you. Let her go!"

   "Zoe chill we won't be able to get her if you keep screaming at him. Just give it time. We have a plan, so follow them." I tell Zoe with a gentle touch on the shoulder.

  "Hey, Blake and Derek. I'm sorry Blake, I didn't mean to. I was trying to run away from Lucias again. He lied to me about our parents and how they died, so I went for a run in the woods to blow off some steam. Hey, could I possibly stay with you guys for a little bit." I asked as we walked next to each other.

  "Sure, no problem just make sure you do go back home after, ok?" Blake questioned, but tells responsibly.

  "Will do," I say.

   Walking home was my favorite thing, seeing the nature of our planet and wildlife nearby. Finally, I got home and there was a note on the porch saying, "Sister if you came back, I went out to go look for you. If I'm not back by 12 please search for me. I'm sorry for Ma and Pa, I didn't want the truth to hurt you back then like it did now."

   As time past and 12 hit, while my brother didn't come back yet I started to freak out. I waited one more hour and it got worse. I ran all the way to Blake and Derek's house and told them everything. We went out to search for him then came back to the house and no one brought anything back with them. The next thing we knew, there was a portal standing right in front of us. Everyone stepped in. The portal came out of nowhere.

   "Oh my god, my stomach hurts so bad, I think I'm going to throw up. Blaaaaaah! Ahh, where the heck are we?" I examined the area out. It was different from ours, nothing is seen before.

   I look into the dark soul's eyes as you couldn't see them anyway. Zoe by my side the whole time holding my hand, which I didn't care because I liked someone else, and she didn't seem to have feelings for me. I'm gay, and I never really told anyone yet. I have a little thing for Skylar, but I think she likes Derek if I'm correct and Zoe looks like she likes Blake and Raelynn likes Blake as well. Ok off topic.

  The dark soul's eyes looking back at me. It speaks, "Do you have what I want? Yes or no. Choose wisely and if you pick the wrong one, Skylar gets hurt."

   "Yes, we do. Why do you want the portal anyway? Do you have my brother?" I questioned him.

   "No, I don't have your brother. I need the portal because I don't want The Dust to get me. I'm too young to die." He says frightened.

   The Dust only comes after people that have committed a crime of anything.

   "What did you do wrong? The only way can get a Duster on you is if you committed a crime. So what did you do?" I look curious.

   "I have stolen from the butler from the trees," I tell as he looks around to make sure The Dust isn't near.

   "Oh, why..." as I get interrupted in the conversation.

   "Stop talking and give me what I want now." He demands. I look at him with a glare. Then I look back at Derek and motioned him to come closer to me. I speak into his ear.

   "Give it to him, but the half one, not the full one. We will need it to get back to our own world." I instructed Derek. He nods his head yes, and does it. The half one sends the person to a different world, a place where no one wants to go. The underworld, the worst place ever. The full one takes us back to our world. No spell to do it, you just have to press the button." Derek explains to the dark soul.

   "Ok, here you go." Then dark soul lets go of Skylar and press the button and are gone like that. Skylar lands right into Zoe's arms then into everyone else's. We got back to the house and went to bed again and this time I didn't go to sleep. I stayed up all night watching Skylar, and everyone else.

   Soon Zoe wakes up in the middle of the night and sits right next to me. Then says, "Thank you for not giving up today. Thank you for saving my sister. For saving me from my frustration. It really meant something to me."

   "Your welcome. I need to tell you something that no one knows about... I'm gay and I like your sister, but I think she likes someone else." I say scared.

   She looks at me and says. "I thought you never say that." Then kisses my lips.

   "I thought you liked Blake since you always made Raelynn jealous of you." I wondered.

   "No, I just liked doing that. It made it so much more fun." Zoe says happiness in her voice.

   "Now what do we do?" I asked the question of where the next task was.
