The Other World

Chapter 28: Spells and Erasing Memories

Recap
*We all raced to the opened gate. Cole was so caught off guard, that they didn't do anything at first.

But then I saw Brad throw a knife straight at Gomins heart. I screamed his name but I knew it was too late. He froze from shock. *

I yelled, terrified and expecting to see Gomin falling on his knees. I cried, thinking that I would never see him again. No more cocky boy that says he will always win even if he doesn't always win.

I looked at Gomin and stared, shocked. The knife stopped right in front of his heart. The tip pressing against his chest, but it stopped there.

There was complete silence. What just happened?

I looked closely and noticed a light colored hand holding it. It was barely visible but it was there nonetheless.

I looked down at my outstretched hands and noticed the same light coming out of my finger tips towards the knife, holding it.

Did I just......do magic?

"What the heck is going on?" Cole demanded, with a look of outrage and awe.

"I-it-I." I didn't know what to say.

Stark was the first to snap out of it. He pulled out something from his pocket and yelled run as he threw the object.

The object blew up, sending smoke everywhere as we raced towards the opening.

We all made it out and stepped into the cold, empty night of Charilot.

No one said a word. Everyone was panting, out of breath.

"I almost died." Gomin said.

They all looked at me.
"What did you do?" Stark asked.

"I-I don't know." I replied.

"Mickey, Charis can't do magic. You just did magic. It's not possible." Stark argued, bluntly.

"Why are you yelling at me? I don't know what happened!" I exclaimed.

"I'm not yelling." he yelled back.

"Everyone. Be quiet!" Kameron said. "Lets all calm down."

"Excuse us, we can't all be calm like you." Robby said, sarcastically.

"Ok guys enough. Lets get out of here. We need to talk to Tara and Sorak." Gomin said.

I agreed and we were about to start our journey home when someone spoke

"What's going on?" Danny asked.

Oh shoot. I forgot all about Danny.

"Danny, I have something important to tell you." I said.

"Yes. Yes you do!"

I sighed, ready to come clean when Gomin gave me a look.

"Lets go home first, then we'll explain." Gomin said.

"No. I want answers. Where am I? You said you were at a relatives place so what is Gomin doing here with you? What were those kids doing? And how did you stop the knife?" Danny was out of breath when he finished.

"Please Danny, just come with me and you'll understand." I begged

He sagged his shoulders and nodded.

We called a cab. The ride home was silent. Danny was avoiding my eyes. Gomin was strangely distant. Well, I can't blame him, he almost died.

Once we got in and knocked on the door, Alex the butler answered. "Where have you guys been? Everyone was worried sick about you all." he said, sternly.
