Chapter 12: Trapped
Just because I was in spirit form—just because it couldn't technically harm me—didn't mean I wasn't quaking with fear. Because I was—I really, truly was. . .
Stevie Rae's pOv
"Her soul is now shattered."
"What do you mean shattered?" I said pissed off. "I'm right here!"
Nobody paid attention to me instead, I can feel them getting much more agitated.
"You'll pay for this!" I heard Jack threatened.
"We'll see about that." Pitch accepted the dare.
Then I saw them fight. Wait, what? I—I saw… I can see! But everything was a blur of colors add the true sight colors just made me nauseate. The loud clashes of blades, whipping sounds, ice forming. I tried conjuring the shadow only to realize that I can't control them.
"What the heck!?" I stomped hard when I saw a dreadful fact on the floor. Myself. On. The. Floor. "No, no, no! I can't be dead again!"
That's when it hit me. I was a spirit. A lost spirit not a dead spirit. I would know if I'm dead by being rebirthed in a body of an 8 yr. old girl. I must see now where I really am now; I focused my thoughts and forget that I'm seeing what's happening to the guardians. When I opened my eyes, I was in a grove and it was nighttime.
"Hello? Anybody here?" I called.
Nobody answered me. I walked around and notice a little girl was running in joy then disappears out of my sight. Then after a few more hours of walking, a sorrowful cry echoed throughout the whole grove and it disappeared when I'm almost near the location of the voice.
"What's going on? I'm so tired but I feel restless. I can't stop walking…" I mumbled with an exhausted voice.
The girl and the voice came in random times. I'm very tired by I really can't stop walking. I want to rest, to sleep, to slouch down and just sleep for a very long time…
"No!" I shouted at myself. "If I sleep, I'll be stuck here forever. I need to get back to them. To Jack…"
Jack's name made me tremendously miserable. I wonder what is going on back there. If I could just talk to him and tell him I'm okay, then he doesn't have to worry anymore. Well, if he is worried of me, of course.
"I can do this. I just have to stay happy." I convinced myself.
I walked around and observe the surroundings. I saw a lady in black ceremonial dress. I walked closer to her and hear her singing.
Never forget guilt,
Never forget anger,
Never forget heartbreak,
Never forget joy,
Never forget hope,
Never forget love and despair,
And find your way out of here, in bliss.
I walked left and right quietly and listened to her. It was meant for me but who is she?
"Are you going to claim me back or what?" She sounded really pissed off. "Well?"
"Who are you?" I asked as I keep on walking around. "I never met you and you sound like you know me."
"Ugh, you've become so dumb than before." She rolled her eyes off. "I'm she who strikes fear, the shadowy one, Scathach."
"But I thought I was—"
"Yes, yes you are also me. I'm part of your shattered soul, idiot." She spat out.
"Uhm, you know by calling me idiot you're also referring about yourself, right?" I countered with a smirk.
"Curses." She muttered.
"How can I return to the mortal plane? Where am I exactly anyway?" I asked.
"I dunno. You're the only one who knows the answer about that." She admitted. "As for where you are, you're in the Shadowland."
"Shadowland?" I echoed. "Never heard of it."
"Of course, you never had. Just as you don't know that I'm actually Irish and not Scottish." She rolled her eyes again and shoved her short bright red hair. Her green eyes looked like the nature is inside it. "Oh well, call my name whenever you need me."
"Wait! Where are you going?"
"I'm the shadow. I travel wherever the moon is." She explained and left me.
"Ah, great. What am I supposed to do now?" I grunted at myself.
"Hi!"
"Whoa! What the—" I screamed.
"Are you okay?" a little girl reached her little hand at me.
"Thanks, you are?" I asked.
She put down her hand. "I'm Marceline!"
"Let me guess, you're also part of my shattered soul." I fathomed and she nodded happily.
"Never forget that we're just in you always!" She spoke so lovingly and disappeared.
"And I'm, once again alone!" I screamed and turned right. "If Jack's here, he'll guide and reassure me that everything will be fine."
The idea of Jack made me sad once again. I terribly miss him, as if he's also part of my soul. A tear trickled from my eyes and I wiped it off as soon as it got out. I walked more and realized I was at the center of the grove. At the very heart of it is a hanging tree. It glowed and a voice spoke.
I shall return you to the world. But you will forget everything and everybody you know ever since you've tied this knot. You will find your way to recover them back… in the right time. Do you agree with it child?
Just because I was in spirit form—just because it couldn't technically harm me—didn't mean I wasn't quaking with fear. Because I was—I really, truly was . . . but forget everybody? Even Jack? I can't but I want to go back and finally see him in person.
"I agree, but how will I find out about it? At least, a clue that I'm allowed to remember?" I insisted.
Vague images, familiar voices.
"Uhm, that isn't really helpful." I commented. The voice chuckled and spoke.
True sight kept secret for years,
Horses of fright kiss the pale wells,
Sight shall be blocked,
Controlled, tries to kill the soul mate,
Only to be resented—
Snow shall mourn, to the loss of the shadow.
The blood shall bridge the lost one's soul,
Memories retrieved through the ancient bones.
"That's the…" My voice trailed off and nodded. "I understand."
Called them now and merge with them. You shall be on where your spirit began to grow. At DúnScáith, the Fort of Shadows.
"Alright…" I sighed.
I walked around forming a circle then start dancing the chanting way.
"You are my strength, courage and power. Scathach return to me!" I chanted first.
Scathach appeared with a smirk and hold my hand. She turned into shadows and entered my body. My senses start to become sharper and keener.
"You are my joy, happiness and smiles. Marceline return to me!" I chanted again.
The little jolly girl ran towards me making a hug and when I catch her she disappeared and I finally manage to stop walking around.
"So, I will leave now?" I asked the voice.
Not yet, child. We wait until the new moon comes. The new moon symbolizes new beginnings.
"I guess, I'm trapped in here then."
~~End Chapter~~
