Discovering My Mythical Fate Book 1

Chapter 20

picture above is what Tana and Ryder's marks look like 

I spent the night watching Netflix and reading, I was unable to sleep I needed Ryder to wake up and be okay. Annilit had said a day or so not three days going on four. Was it cause of me? Cause I'm so many things in one? All I can do is hope that he'll wake up, wake up and be okay cause I don't think I could handle him dying. I sit on the window seat staring at the rising sun and whisper, "Please bring him back to me safely." I close my eyes and rest my head on the window. 

I opened my eyes and I looked over at Ryder still sleeping and an idea popped into my head, what if he is stuck like I was? what if I could enter his mind and get him out like when Raiju did or when Lord Damon entered my body? With this in mind I made my way over to Ryder, kneeling beside him on the bed, "I don't know if this will work but I'm going to try." I said placing my hands over his heart and closing my eyes. Breathing in and out deeply I cleared my mind of everything but imagining my soul entering Ryder's, after a minute or so I could feel myself slip out of my body and into Ryder's mind. Opening my eyes I saw I was kneeling on grass and I heard screaming. Snapping my head up I didn't know what I expected but being in the middle of a battlefield watching a version of myself dying was not one of them...

The battlefield blinked and seemed to reset itself. I watched myself tearing people apart as a dragon making my way away from myself when a much bigger dragon came down from the sky and snatched my dragon form off the ground, sinking it's claws deep into my sides making her scream in agony. The dragon kept bringing her higher and higher before hovering miles up. At this point I have tears in my eyes and my hand over my mouth as I watch in horror, somehow already knowing what is going to happen. The dragon's jaw clamps down on one of her wings and tears it clean off while he lets go of her completely causing her to fall towards the ground roaring in pain with no way to stop the coming impact.

"NOOOO!!!!!" at first I thought I had screamed but I realized that wasn't my voice so I tore my eyes from my dragon dying to search for Ryder. He was in the middle of the battlefield run towards my dragon as she made impact with the ground in a sickly crunch sound. I started running to but not to my dragon but to Ryder. He made it to her just as she shifted back into me but it was clear she was dead, he collapsed beside her body, hugging her to his body as he cried.

"Ryder..." I whispered as I approached him. He didn't respond so I tried again, "Ryder, it's me please this isn't real...I'm alive look at me." I said placing my hand on his shoulder causing him to jump.

"Tana...H-how?" He asked tears still streaming down his face.

"Baby this...this isn't real, I am. remember when I got stuck in my mind after my witch power woke up?" I asked, he nodding mutely so I continued, "you're stuck in your mind baby, you've been here for three days. I need you to come back shit isn't going good for me, I got a visit from the White Stag."

Ryder stood up grabbing my face in both hands and kissed me with desperation for a good minute before pulling back and resting his forehead on mine. "I believe you baby but I don't know how to get out, and what did the White Stag say?"

"A lot but you need to wake up for me to tell you that cause while I love hearing your voice and seeing you awake right now, I want the real you to wake up." I said caressing his cheek.

"Ok I'll do my best but you need to leave, your soul cant be out of your body for to long otherwise it might not get back in." Ryder said kissing my forehead before stepping back, "I love you Tana."

"I love you too Ryder." I said as I closed my eyes and concentrated on going back to my body. "Come home." I said as i felt myself being pulled back to my body.
