Blind Moonstone

Chapter 5: My Heroes

"Umm, excuse me? Could someone please lead me to the Festival?"

I asked whoever was in front of me, probably a group of some sort. Stranger danger.

"Why of course, follow us and you'll be right there."

The person in front of me said, sounded like a guy. Judging by the deepness of his voice, he is a young adult around the age of 20. Yeah don't trust him.

"Thank you, please lead the way."

I answered, hearing the group turn around and start walking. I followed them, hearing what sounded like a boy a little younger than me following behind. Trust the boy.

I heard the group chuckling creepily, as we walked. From from their footsteps, could tell that their were 5-6 big men all around the same age. Five guys.

"We're here."

Another guy said, I moved my head trying to hear someone other than he boy following us. There was nothing, nothing except for the light breeze. It's too quiet.

"This can't be the Festival, there's nobody here."

I said confused, seriously though it's weird. We need help, we aren't strong enough to take on all of them.

"The Festival hasn't started yet."

A third guy responded, I just nodded and took a couple steps back. After he said Festival, I heard the boy running away. He's getting help, stay calm.

"I see, well thank you guys for helping me. You may leave now, I'll be able find my way around."

I responded, but I didn't hear anyone leave. Fight or flight, which will you choose.

"Actually, we are meeting someone at the Festival anyways. We'll wait here with you."

The fourth man spoke while taking a step closer, I nodded my head slightly. I heard the boy running back, there were two more people following. I try taking another step, but I hit what felt like a wall. I'm trapped, I heard something flying in our direction.

*GET DOWN!*

I duck immediately, scared at the sudden shout that nobody else seemed to hear. I something, no someone flying back and a flash of what think is purple. Then everything goes back to black, and I collapse.

*Are you okay?*

- Yeah, were you the one who told me to "get down" ? -

I blink, I see a boy with white hair and something covering his eyes.

*Yeah, I can see through your eyes.*

- Is it possible to make me see too? -

Wait, he can see through my eyes. That must mean he witnessed what I've been through, as if he were me.

*It won't be the same, but I could try giving you an out of body experience. I also won't be able to do this for long because it's my first time doing this.*

- Alright, could you also explain what I see? -

If he could control me, then wouldn't I be able to see. However, he would lose his eyesight instead right?

*Of course, but only if this actually works. You ready for this?*

- Yes! Sorry I'm a little excited, but yes I'm ready. -

I finally get a chance to see, I can't wait!

*Okay, close your eyes and wait until I say to open them.*

I shut my eyes, wanting to see.

- Alright, my eyes are shut. -

*Open your eyes.*

I open my eyes too see five large guys being beaten up by a girl who looks around my age and a tall man who I can't tell the age of. I also see the boy who went to get help, he was seeing if a girl on the ground was alright.

- That girl on the ground... -

*That's your body, the girl fighting is the one who threw the rock. And the man appears to be a follower of the girl that's fighting.*

- I see, wow the girl that's fighting can kick butt. -

Amazed, as I watched the fight end.

*Time's up, we gotta get you back to your body. Close your eyes, and open them when I give the okay.*

I shut my eyes and nodded once, preparing for the pitch black waiting for me when open my eyes again.

- I'm ready. -

I felt my body being picked up and carried on someone's back.

*Okay, you can open your eyes now.*

I opened my eyes, feeling exhausted for some reason. Falling asleep to the sounds of my heroes' footsteps.
