Dark World 2: The Lost Continent
Chapter Nine:
INGRID'S POV
Darkness was all I saw. Futile darkness. I couldn't even tell if I was alive or not. Maybe I was both, I couldn't comprehend. I could be in some half way point. I knew I was walking around in dark nothingness. I could see my hand in front of me. It seemed to radiate a glow.
"Hello?" I called out.
I crossed my arms. I was scared. I turned around and saw a plain white door with a golden door handle. I heard laughter. Nathan and Derek pushed past me and ran out the door. I stared after them as the door shut. I took steps forward and opened the door. On the other side I saw the boys playing in the yard with Annie. I looked back and saw my house in New America. I shut it and walked over to the boys.
"Go inside," I said.
Annie smiled at me.
"They aren't real, Just projections of your mind." Annie said.
"What about you? Are you a projection? What is this?" I looked around at the falling leaves and felt the brushing wind.
"Tough to say, I might be real…maybe not. Maybe both?" Annie shrugged. "All I know is that I like it here. Seems to be filled with only happy memories."
"How do I get back?" I asked. "They need me." I said.
Annie smiled, "It was good to see you again Ingrid, Tell Luke I said hello."
The world vanished into a ballroom. I recognized it as the VidCon conference room. I spun around and saw Luke smiling. I ran over to him and embraced him.
"I missed you Luke." I cried into his chest.
"Hey, It's okay Ingrid. I'm fine in America. In fact we're in Oklahoma right now. Funny story, remind me to tell you when I'm home. But Joan is still alive."
"Are you real?" I asked.
"Doesn't matter, All you need to do is make sure Tanya is okay." Luke said.
I nodded and looked around as the conference center filled up with green, mold, destruction, blood and more. Suddenly Luke was gone and I was in Red River. The campsite was still in tact and swaying in the breeze. I looked around and saw my old tent. My eyes flashed and I saw several dead bodies. I saw Tessa wondering over to me. She looked confused.
"Tessa!" I tried to call.
"What's going on?" She said softly.
"I don't know I think it's…" She cut me off.
"Tanya what's going on?" Tessa said.
I looked over and saw Tanya pull a gun out.
Tessa fell to the ground and Tanya ran off. I ran to Tessa and found her bleeding out. Suddenly I saw myself holding Tessa in front of her bed.
"It's okay Ingrid, let me go." She said.
A nurse walked in. She seemed older and familiar.
"Mom?" I asked.
"Shh," She said putting a rag over the comatose Tessa in the bed.
"Should I go back?" Tessa asked me.
"Do you want to come back?" I asked.
"I mean I want to…" She said.
"We all miss you," I said.
"It's not her choice," Tanya came through the door and pointed a gun at me.
I screamed and woke up outside on the docks. I looked over and saw the others waking up.
"She's not waking up, what do I do!" A woman screamed.
"Don't do it Elaina," a dark haired boy with deep dark eyes said.
"Damon, she'll die." Elaina said.
"So?" Damon said.
"Damon, Cut It out." Another boy said.
"Thank you Stefan." Elaina said to him.
Rachel was pale and out of it. She seemed to be losing blood by the quart. I cried out and saw Stefan turn to me.
"Are you okay?" He asked bending down.
I shook my head. I looked over and saw the hurricane raging off the coast.
"Warehouse…14…" I said crying.
He nodded and disappeared. A car came back in seconds. I saw him appear beside me and I blacked out. When I came to again I saw everyone in the car.
"Stefan…the blood." Elaina said.
"Stay strong, don't give in." he said.
I blacked out again and saw the outside of Warehouse 14. Stefan carried me inside where Claudia and Steve ran to me.
"What happened?" Claudia yelled.
"I didn't…oh they're here." Myka ran inside the Warehouse.
"If you don't mind my asking…What is this place?" Damon asked picking up the snow globe.
"It's Top Secret Government matters." Claudia said.
I heard a scream and Rachel's color returned to her body. Elaina had blood soaked around her mouth. The two boys screamed at her. I stared into Elaina's eyes and saw them turn from vein and dark to normal. I scooted back.
"What are you!" I pulled the Tesla back.
"We're vampires," Damon shook his hands up.
"Like…For real?" Joey asked.
"Butch isn't moving." Rhetta screamed.
I ran over and felt Butch's pulse. Sure enough…it was dead.
LUKE'S POV
"Look at all the broken windows," Clay pointed to the tallest sky scraper.
At one time It had held an Oil/Energy company. Now it was dead and empty. I'd just woken up from the strangest dream. I had been with Ingrid at VidCon and the place had turned old and de-modernized. It was almost scary to watch.
"Over there," I pointed to the station.
Rain poured down on us as we ran inside the old station. Clay and Quinn found candles and lit them. The guards had a look around before they said it was clear. I took to my old room on the second story. It was in the back, next to the kitchen. I found a few things I'd left behind. Clothes mostly in plastic bags. I opened them and smelled their stale smells. It was nice.
I threw them down and un loaded my new bag. I walked back out and saw Clay and Quinn smiling at his old room. I had a pretty good feeling I knew what happened in there all those years ago. I walked over to Allison.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"No one knows where to put me?" She said.
I pointed at Perry's office. She looked at me and I nodded. I helped her open the doors and settle in. She looked at a photo of Perry and Grace that she must have left. I said I'd take it back to her. She nodded.
I took It to my bag and put it in. Thunder cracked outside as The guards and Tiffany lit candles around the station. I looked out to the courtyard and saw the tree and grass had overgrown it. I looked at Butch's desk and saw a Texas sticker. They were always teasing him for that.
I took it to my bag to. I think seeing Ham and Grace's desk made us the most sad. Clay just looked at it and smiled.
"I just had an idea!" Allison said from the main office.
I walked over and she dug her hands into my pocket and pulled out the ring.
"Generator for the building. Where?" She ran off with Clay.
The rest of us pursed her into the first floor and to the generator. She put the ring on and rubbed her feet all around the carpet. I looked at her confused and then she pulled open the hatch and put her hand on it.
Static Electricity rang through the electrical grid until the power flickered on and off. Suddenly I knew the ring could sustain power for a long time with the little burst of static electricity.
The power came back on almost immediately. We ran up to the second floor and saw computers coming on and TV'S. Clay and everyone looked enthused.
"We have toilets!" Pete ran out of the bathroom.
We all cheered and hugged. We fixed a problem already.
Then I heard more thunder and outside I saw the entire city spring back to life. Lights came back on across the street, in the streets and in the sky scrapers. I looked at Allison with wide eyes. It must have been more powerful than we thought. She pulled out her cell phone and called England. I looked out the window more and heard something in the distance. I couldn't pin what it was. It seemed to be traveling across the city as the power did. Then Clay's eyes grew wide. I looked over at him and saw him point to the sky.
I turned back as sirens came on around us.
A funnel was settling on the ground a few miles away.
We arrived jist in time for a tornado.
Hey, at least we had power.
