Beyond The Realms

Chapter 50

" Amy " Her name is a shocked gasp on my lips and a loud clattering sound fills my ear. It takes me a while to realise that it is my sword that hand fallen out of my disbelieving hands and had clattered to the floor.

I don't remember when I had moved but I'm suddenly on my knees. the strength in my body had vanished. Gone.

My entire body seems to have frozen. Only my eyes can move , in her direction.

They look at her face. The same hair , same eyes,nose , lips .She is my twin sister.

" Amy" My brain isn't able to think of anything else except her.

My twin sister is standing before me in flesh and blood " Amy "
Her name is the only word I can speak and her face is only direction I can look at.

" It's nice to see you " She says with a smile that is colder then anything I had ever seen " Your arrival here made things so much entertaining " She says circling me her eyes hard , devoid of any emotions.

My eyes remain fixed on her face , the cruelty and the coldness I see in it is something my mind has trouble grasping . I simply cannot comprehend it,
" You are my sister " I whisper in both disbelief and awe " You are my twin, you are alive "

She throws her head back and lets out a laugh that makes chills skitter down my spine for it sounds anything but cheerful ,it sounds dead - nothing like like mine " A little slow in the head are we ?" her brown eyes glint with hostility.

' Help me, Amelia ! ' I hear a weak but familiar voice inside my head , This voice had always helped me whenever I was in danger , guiding me out of it . I've relied on it for so long !

My eyes widen in surprise as I realise that it my twin's voice.

" You---"

' Don't speak out loud ' Her terrified voice speaks in my head ' He will know I'm still here and make me vanish '

Reigning in shock and confusion over what is going on I hold my tongue and speak in my mind hoping she hears it ,and surprisingly she does ' Who ?'

Moving closer to me Amy grabs my chin forcing my face up even though ever since I had seen her I hadn't been able to look anywhere else. Her nails digging into my skin her cold eyes scrutinize my face
" Nothing much to look at " she sharply drops my face moving away with derisive snort
" What else could I have expected from a half breed ? "

' Salaäm ' My sister's terrified small voice says in my head. I stiffen knowing the kind of djinn this name belongs to. ' He has possessed my body ' her voice cracks breaking into a sob so heart wrenching I have to fight off the tears building in my eyes.

' What can I do to help you ?' I question back my pain for her and fury over her tormenter making me see red .

' Do not let him know ,Amelia ' She says instantly panicked ' If he finds out I'm still present he will make me vanish forever '

Something worst than rage washes over me as I hear my sister's distraught sobs . She is crying for her body , her own body that the wretched djinn had taken from her . The cruel injustice of it all make me want to rage and scream .

' Don't do anything reckless , Amelia ' She says in a small scared voice ' Please save me '

' Of course ' I say looking up as she moves - the body of my sister possessed by the horrible Djinn as she picks up the whip and snapping it with relish against the ground moves towards Prince Ruslan .

I gasp as the whip flies through the air and lands on the prince tearing open his flesh.

' Help the Prince ' Amy says with urgency in her voice ' Salaäm won't hesitate to kill him if you don't '

' What do I do ? There is nothing I won't do to save him '

' Good ' I hear a sudden change in her voice. There is steel in her voice like she had made a decision and won't hesitate to follow it through' You told me you would do anything to save him ,do you mean it ? '

' Yes ' I say back gritting my teeth together as a the whip strikes against Prince Ruslan's body once more drawing blood .

' Kill me '

'What? ' My body stiffenes in shock over what my twin has just asked me to do. ' No , Never !'

' You have to ' She says her voice gentle as if she is melancholically smiling ' It is the only way to save me '

' Please sister, kill me'
