Destiny

CHAPTER 16

Evan followed the bright light, it led him into a certain darkness, then into another world, hopefully, it had worked.

Trying to focus on the task ahead, he tried not to think of what happened back there, how king Ethan had caught up with them, how his wife had stabbed herself to stop Ethan ,  he was so sad, so hurt, in so much pain , he feared thinking about it, if he did, he would go mad.

But he was going to get his revenge, instead of just warning her, he was going to kill her, kill Freya. A life for a life, a love for a love.

He was already within the school's premises, he  searched every dorm, they were mostly empty.

But then he got to a particular dorm , where a presence dominated, the light was overwhelming, the light led to a girl, sleeping peacefully on one of the beds.

Determined he marched towards her, his dagger ready to strike. But then, he hesitated, her back was turned to him, he really wanted to see that face, the face that caused the King to steal his wife away, he wanted to see if they were really identical, just a peak before he finished her of.

The peak turned into a full blown stare, it was almost as if his wife was before him, he couldn't do it, he couldn't kill her, as tears blinded his vision he let the dagger tumble to the floor. She starred , covering his mouth to prevent his tears from being heard, he rushed out.

Freya was tired, dead tired, she had a very hectic day with Ethan, fun, but hectic, so much to learn, so many new things, it was all  too amazing, almost unreal.

As usual, she got back to the dorm when everyone was out, strangely , it was creepier than usual, she couldn't imagine sleeping in a room alone at a place like this, thank God for Gwen. Too tired to realise she was really alone this time, she dropped onto the bed, passing out before her head touched the bed.

She hadn't been out for too long, thankfully, he mind had been so filled with Ethan , she'd managed to score a dream with him in it.

Comfortably dreaming, she was suddenly distracted from it by s loud sound outside of the dream . She decided to ignore it,but going back,her sweet dream had disappeared. And distracting her was the dwindling of the light that kept hovering over her the entire dream.

Too curious, she bolted awake, just in time to see it slip out of the room, she took a while to contemplate following it, curiosity won at last and she practically rushed out after it so as not to loose it.

She soon found it, at first it was just a light, a brightness, but as she got closer, she saw a man , bowling his eyes out, it was a weird scene, even for one as strange as this.

She got closer and sat beside him, sensing her presence, he stopped immediately, but refused to look up to meet her gaze, she didn't know what drew her to him but she couldn't help t, lightly touching his cheek, she lifted his head, and finally  their gazes met, a scene that shocked her to the core.

What shocked her was not the startling blue of his eyes, neither was it the pain and hurt that lay beneath it, it was the world she was suddenly whisked into, and the feelings and emotions that came with it.

There was a king, for some strange reason she couldn't see his face,  there was another of her, and there was this strange man. The older her seemed to be his wife, whom is was clear he loved dearly, for some reason, the king wanted her, he tried his best to hide her, even as they worked on a strange project, she didn't understand .

He came home to find his wife gone, knowing who was responsible, he broke into the palace,but he was captured and beaten till half dead, on the pleas of his wife, who the king seemed to have a soft spot for, he was released.

Alone he went back, still working on the project and trying to heal himself. As he was nearing done, as if by instinct his wife managed to escape to him, quickly they set up everything, they had to hurry, the king had noticed her absence and was rushing to them.

They began the chant, the numbers and figures all ready, they were closing in on the peak, when the Kung burst in, seizing his wife, he marched towards him with a sword in his hand ready to strike.

He saw his wife move, he almost read her mind, terrified of the outcome he tried to move, to try and stop the insane thought roaming her head,but no, he couldn't move, he watched on helplessly as his wife redirected the kings hand , away for his body to hers, he watched on helplessly, as the sword plunged deep into her. Blood slowly seeping from her mouth, he watched her fall into the kings arms. The last thing he saw before disappearing were her eyes, and that sad painful smile on her lips.

She was suddenly whisked out of the trance , too many emotions, too deep. She had felt the woman's, this strange Man's, even the King's, it was too much all too much.

She released his cheek as she let her tears and cries out unrestrained, wallowing in emotions that had now become her own, it took, the blood curling scream of the man to bring her out of it.

He was shaking like a leaf, his head in his hands wiggling uncontrollably on the ground.
Though unwilling and with great fear she was forced to touch him again, this time she couldn't help it, his wife was dead, and in anger , the king had ordered his body to be burnt, it was just his soul with her.

Without his body, he'd become nothing, hugging him tightly, not only for his sake but beds too, since she felt the pain as much as he did, she whispered a spell she had no idea she knew, one that came from the depths of her soul.

All too soon the pain stopped, but he didn't stop fading, though disheartening, she knew he was safe now, he was of to somewhere safe, to meet his wife maybe. All she knew was, she was happy she could help.

As she watched him go, she took the chance to  ask a question
"What's your name?"

"Evan" he said

"Thank you, Freya" was the last she heard before he totally disappeared. His lighted remains taking of to a place she never imagined.

Okay,sad chapter
Poor Evan, I sure do hope he is safe.
But, just thinking
Since he doesn't have a body in the future anymore, does he still go back, or he remains here,or he just totally dies

Hmmm, tough question
