Treachery

Chapter 12: Self Reflect

Riley's p.o.v.

The energy I felt was strong, but I knew I was stronger... I assumed that Jacob and Sierra made it back safely...

But then something weird happened...
The air was hot and thick but soon it turned to calm and stead... like a breeze was coming through it.  A bright orangish light sprang out.

It shot out and struck the roof causing the roof to fall down, creating yet another hole in this hallway...
The orange light however, started creating crystals. And slowly they turned into coins...

The book of shadows calmly said out loud," GoooOoOOoDFooouuuuRtttuuuNNEeEe"
My eyes widen... did i...?
The coins shot down and slowly began to rain down the hallway.

I continued walking down the hallway, unbothered by the random blood splatters and the unidentifiable meat substances.

I felt as if it didn't matter... that if I could save and alert someone's fate... why don't I do it to everybody that died here?

Did people deserve to come back?

Why am I the only one that can alert their fates?

" YoooUuu AlllREeeAaADddY kkkNnooW!"

My eyes widen, why was the book so  harsh!?

I didn't know it at the time but I soon blacked out. I don't know what came  into me.  I was so worried about Ryland that I ran throughout the hallways trying to open every single apartment door- no!

It was changing again.

I can't take this anymore!

In front me of now was a school door... I bit my lip... Ryland was with Gage right?

Panic soon hit me, what if Ryland was in the bathroom again?

Tears fell from my eyes and I went to run into the school building again when a felt a powerful force that made me turn around.

White clouds was twisting around  this figure... lighting struck the ground where it laid. The clouds slowly went away and suddenly...

I felt sick again... I had to cry again... and cry I did...

" What the... Fuchhh-" I cut myself off by puking. I felt completely gross and really uncomfortable...
why was I staring at myself...

He... me... he even had his own Book of Shadows but something seemed off about it... instead of it being black like mine this one's was red... normally black fuses surrounds my Book of Shadows, but this one's was red...

Why red?

Why me?

Why was I starring at myself...

" A-Are you... even rea-" I stopped myself as I almost threw up again...

I breathed in and out really heavily... I can't believe what I was stairing at me...

It was an exact copy of me... same clothes... same hair ... he slowly started to look up at me... I bit my lip we were the same height....

" Did it work...? Quick Riley, what version of you are me?"

What...? H-he even had the same voice as me... I felt even sicker and I knew soon that I would pass out but yet somehow i didn't...

"Who...are you...?" I muttered out. God I hated this place. " I'm you, I'm Riley... expect I'm the version of you that died...."

My eyes widen open... I really have been here before have I....?

I swallowed a hard gulp. " How many times have we been here?" I asked myself. I felt hot steamy tears fall from my eyes. " I-I don't know... I'm trying to fix things... and Riley, I hope you know that you're more powerful then I am... up ahead this hallway, I died near the stairs."
