The Blue Rock And I The Other Rock Arc Part Three

 The Layer Of The Red Rock


We entered a lift. It was bigger than any lift that I had ever seen. It was made of steel and the buttons were made of metal with a red ring of light around them. Yukio pressed the button to the lowest level and we descended. I could feel my heartbeat increase as I started to feel scared and claustrophobic. I found myself starting to sweat. My mind went over all that I had been through in those labs. I tried to divert my mind to something else yet I could not. I could feel my breathing increase as I thought for one moment that this could all be a trap to lure me back and if this was true then I had fallen right into it.

Then I felt Uncle Haru place a hand on my shoulder. He rubbed his thumb on my back. This helped calm me down. I was able to push my thoughts aside as we reached the bottom. When the doors opened the first thing that met my eye was the red crystal walls. This told me that this was nor a trap and just how long the red rock had been here for. Even though it was beautiful to look at, I knew with my experience with Stellam, just how dangerous it was.

Yet this gave me the advantage of already knowing what to do, the moment that I walked out I made sure not to touch it until the moment that I should. As I walked on I saw that there were a great deal of rooms that were eclipsed with the red rock.

"How much of this place has been eclipsed by the red rock?"

"About two miles." Said Cho. 

"We were able to find out that the type of mud that is around us was a lot easier to convert to the material the rock is made of." Mara told her, looping her arm in my left. "So I should hardly be surprised that your rock would eclipse the mud too."

I nodded.

I did not know that!

"And what about metal?"

"No, metal is twice as hard to convert. A rock needs to be where it is for decades before it can convert metal."

I nodded.

So that means that Stellam must have been there for over two decades. I wonder how many times and how long mum and Aunt Blue had been in there?

"Tell me, mum and Aunt went in and out of Stellam so how am I any different?"

"You are the youngest to get out and you did take down the witches spell on it. Also you are the only known second generation that has been in and out of the blue rock." Uncle Haru explained.

Good to know! I thought as I nodded. As I walked on I started to feel ill. Scared that I would be forced to go back, I quickly covered it up. I then felt my body start to burn and I looked around to the others only to see that they were not feeling thus. This told me that this had something to do with Stellam. Was it trying to stop me from entering the red rock? Or was it the other rock trying to stop me from entering it? Whichever the case I could not say.

We soon came to a set of stairs. I found, as we descended, my head started to ache. I, again, covered it up. I did all that I could to focus on walking down the stairs and getting to the bottom. I then felt my legs start to ache too. Yet it took all my focus on ensuring that I reached the bottom without touching the rock. The moment that I reached the bottom I felt slightly relieved.

Yet I could not key this weaken me as I forced myself on. I could feel my sweating increase asI walked on. I knew that I needed a real break yet I found my legs walking on. I looked at them with shock as I realised that they were moving on their own! I soon knew better as I remembered having a summable though less nauseating experience when I fell into a trance when Stellam called me. However I frowned as I knew that this made no sense. After all that would mean that I should be touching the red rock however I made an effort to do no such thing! I looked down as my fever grew. Seeing that my shoes had not been converted. This meant that I had to look elsewhere. Then my eyes moved to my left hand. Only to see that it's palm was fixed firmly onto the side of the wall! I tried to go over all the moments, trying to find out the exact moment that I had touched the red rock wall. That was when I found it,  it was the moment that I had felt ill!

Hold on, wasn't Mara looping my arm a moment ago?

I looked around for her, yet I could not find her. I looked over to Uncle Haru, who was already touching the wall. I then looked at his face to find that even he was confused. Even Yukio was confused too! Then it dawned upon me, if Stellam could create human looking avatars then so could Inanis. If that was the case then it could very well be the case that Inanis has been posing as its own followers for years! The look on Yukio's face confirmed my theory. Then my body seized up and my Uncle moved on ahead.

Then Charly walked up behind me.

"No, no, no that just will not do. My god demands you most of all. Now, Stellam, I know that you are listening and are trying to protect the girl." She said, pulling out a knife and pressing it under my chin. "So if you continue to resist I will not hesitate! Or would you like to lose the only one that you have ever cared about for a long time?"

Suddenly I started to walk faster and I could feel the pounding of my heart in my head as Charly pointed the blade at my throat. I bit my lip as I knew that if Stellam took a step out of line I would be powerless as she would slit my throat. I knew that I was not only going in but if Stellam tried to protect me from this other rock then I would die. Despite this I had to swallow my pride and allow it. As I walked on, Charly took the pendent with a chip of Stellam on and she did this slowly. I looked at it dangling. 

"Please put that back on me."

"No,  I think that it will stay here with me."

"Why? You have no need for it!"

"You are right. I do not. But you do."

"Yes. It is my only link to Stellam. So I would like it for comfort after all I am scared. If I had it I would feel a little braver."

She hesitated.

"You said it yourself. There are people that we have to get out. You have Stellam so why hold onto that? What use would that have for you. I have my incentive to leave and my incentive to get out with Alexander. After all, you are my only way home."

She let out a sigh and smiled at me. He then put it back on my neck.

"Thank you." I said as I joined Uncle Haru at the last door between us and Inanis. Yukio gripped the handle and opened it.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
