Chapter Four
Ridge sighed, giving a quick glance to the completely frightened mage as he scurried into his safe haven Black Rock. He smiled, for it was hilarious to watch the two most over-powered human beings in Tekkitopia be scared for once. It was an amazing feeling.
"Indeed it is…"
Ridge practically jumped 4 blocks in the air, spinning around in a complete circle to see the unexpected visitor of his tantrum. Something echoed within his head, it sounded like….laughing.
"What's wrong Ridge? Or should I call you Ridgedog? Or what about.. Man of the Skies?"
This person…or voice.. or whatever it was, was teasing him…almost as if he/she wasn't scared of Ridge at all... "Who are you?!" demanded Ridge, scoping the area around him to find the owner of the voice. The voice was definitely male, this Ridge knew… but… it sounded almost exactly like him…
"I think I'll call you Ridge, like everyone else does. Saves time. Besides, I'm seriously shocked how you don't remember me. Unless of course, you do remember me but your stupid sub-conscious of a brain is keeping you from recalling it."
It had completely disregarded his question…whoever he was he was stepping into dangerous territory…. Ridge balled his hands into fists, growing angry at this unknown person which he cannot see. "Who. Are. You?! Tell me now!" Ridge demanded again, his tone alone showing his anger. The voice giggled.
"Fine, I'll tell you. But only because your stupid sub-conscious won't. I'm you, but a darker version… Let's see… ah yes, here's one! Remember the Survival Games?"
Ridge opened his mouth to answer, but all of a sudden his vision changed and he saw himself sitting at the dining room in his own castle – reading a book. Ridge couldn't speak, just watched as his 'darker self' appeared beside him.
"That tingling feeling at the back of your head that you just couldn't figure out, do you remember that?"
Ridge glanced at his other beside him, taking in every detail. Everything about him was darker, the clothes he wore, his hair, his eyes, everything! Especially that voice… it was more sinister.. His other self looked back at him, making Ridge avert his eyes back to his past self.
Everything was starting to sink in now… Ridge's past self scratched the back of his head, closing the book even though he hasn't finished it yet. Then, all of a sudden, he placed both of his hands at the sides of his head – groaning in pain as he tried to stand.
"Ah… that was the fun moment. You tried soooo hard to fight back, but I easily overpowered you…"
Ridge watched in horror as his past-self practically screamed in pain, backing into the wall behind him before falling silent. Then, a dark laugh escaped his throat followed by a dusting of his coat. "Thank you for letting me borrow this…" his past self started, "I had a great idea that I just couldn't let go." The flashback disappeared; bringing Ridge back to the present. With a quick look around, his darker self wasn't there… "What do you want this time…?" Ridge asked quietly, walking away from Black Rock.
"Right now? Absolutely nothing. But… let's say I have something planned…but I want to wait until a certain someone is old enough to see it herself!"
The Man of the Skies blinked, raising an eyebrow as he continued to walk. "What do you…" he stopped, instantly realizing what the voice meant."No! Don't you dare! I won't allow it!" Ridge exclaimed. The voice laughed inside his head, but said nothing – leaving Ridge to mess around with his own thoughts as he continued to walk.
Sorry I haven't been around a lot guys! I just got to California a week ago –and a few days-. Now I'm enrolled into school so things wont be up as frequently as before! I'm sorry! So very very sorry!
