A/N: Ok this is the last past segment and it'll go back to the other plot line. I finally figured out the end of this story! I want to finish this real quick then I'll make a spinoff of this story and put the Prequel back up( which will be back up on May 25th.) I seriously can't wait to start the spinoff series! It'll be hilarious!
And updates will be more frequent now because I'll be going home early after finals. Like today for example :D So more writing time!
"Germania, I feel funny. After you injected me with my sister's blood, I've been sick. Then you summon me and my sister here again and tell us that we have to battle to the death! What's going on here?" I asked panicked.
A few weeks before Sabir and I came here, Germania personally summoned me and made me take a blood test. He injected me with my sister's blood and I haven't been feeling the best. He said he was experimenting.
How did he even get Sabir's blood? Germania was always kind of creepy to me, but I didn't know he was that freakish! Germania just chuckled.
"I told you, Sankofa, it is just an experiment. If you begin to have some side effects let me know. In the meantime, take this." Germania handed me a small brown book. "What's this?" I asked puzzled.
Germania just smirked. "Have you studied about the two worlds, Sankofa?" I nodded and he continued. "With your magic you can travel between two worlds. In this world, the countries look human enough, correct? Well, in this other world, the countries are mere pieces of land and nothing more. I sent that idiot Rome to go check it out. You and your sister are to both learn this spell. My magicians aren't that powerful so I need you two to complete the task for me. Now leave my sight, Sankofa."
I growled. How dare he use me and my sister like this? We had to stay here for the next few days to get our blood test done. I have a bad feeling about this already.
*( A few weeks later)*
"I learned it! I know the spell to the other world!" I squealed with delight. I tweaked it a bit. The spell I used had to be used over water, but it's still amazing! I finally beat Sabir. I slowly felt my power increase now. Maybe I'll truly beat Sabir. I refuse to die. Germania still kept my sister and I under lock and key. He wants to keep an eye on us for some reason.
I was currently out in the field next to Germania's palace. I was by his beautiful lake. I decided I would jump into the lake and get Rome back because he hadn't come back yet. I hoped he didn't get captured by his own people.
I slowly chanted the words to the other world. The water soon began to bubble and I jumped in. I swam down to the bottom of the lake and I felt myself turn upside. I suddenly found myself going back up to the surface of the lake. Hadn't I just been swimming down a minute ago? I broke through the surface of the lake and I saw tall white buildings looming in front of me.
Woah, so this was the other world? Amazing! I walked out of the lake and ringed my dress out. The people were staring and pointing at me. I guess it was odd to see an African woman in… where was I again? Oh right! I'm looking for Rome. I guess I must be in Germania then.
"Hey wench, what are you doing here? This is a private area!" A rough voice said. I turned around and I saw two guards heavily armed guards approaching me. They looked really scary actually. I wonder if my magic works here…
"I just got lost while looking for my friend." I replied. "Have you seen a man with brown hair and brown eyes? He's very loud and not that smart at all."
The guards laughed. "Yeah, we did see a fellow like that. He's about to be fed to the lions." One of the guards pointed to the right and I saw a huge coliseum. "He should be there right now. It'll be quite a show!" The guards started to laugh.
I heard a loud scream pierce the air. I better get Rome fast! I ran toward the coliseum as fast as I could go. I came up to the open gates and entered. I found myself up in the stands staring down at a screaming and crying Rome. There were two lions circling him.
I bounded down the steps, jumped over the wall and landed in the ring. Rome smiled when he saw me. "Oh, Sankofa! You came to rescue me! I love you!" I rolled my eyes.
The lions were now looking at me with lust in their eyes. I grabbed Rome by the hand and helped him stand up. He looked pretty beat up actually. "Rome, I'm about to transport us out of here. I'll get you back to Germania safe and sound." I told him. Rome smiled and continued to thank me. Dammit, what was the spell to transport someone? Jeez, some magician I turned out to be. All of a sudden, my head started pounding like crazy. I staggered a bit, but Rome caught me. I could hear his frantic voice, but it only came out in mumbles.
What is happening to me?
Accept it. Accept it. Accept what? Was this a side effect from that blood test? A laugh erupted from me. It wasn't my laugh though. I saw myself grab Rome and throw him over my shoulder. I started running, but I soon realized that I had no control over my body.
I was trapped inside my own body. I jumped back over the wall and I ran up the steps. People were jeering and yelling at me. Guards were coming after me fiercely. Some even threw there spears at me. My body was quick and nimble though. I exited the coliseum and ran back to the lake and jumped in. Rome was squirming in my grasp.
I needed to gain control of my body again, but I felt so weak. I wanted to go home and make all of this go away. I didn't want to fight to the death or take a blood test. I especially didn't want to go to back to the other world!
Finally, we broke the surface and I saw an angry Germania and Sabir looking down on me. Rome scrambled out of my grasp and hugged Germania. I got out of the lake and came face to face to Sabir as we glared daggers at one another. A tense silence hung between us.
"Tomorrow, we are going back to Africa. I'll kill you Sabir and I'll become Mother Africa." I said. I wanted to scream so badly that this wasn't me! I would never say that to Sabir. She did aggravate me at times, but I would never kill her. I just want to be strong like her.
Germania sent me a smirk and said, "Well, it's decided. You two can go back to Africa and let this matter be settled. Whoever wins must come back to me. Germania began to walk away and I heard him say his final words to me. "Good job, Sankofa. I knew you could make a spell to the other world better than my own magicians." Rome looked at me with worry in his eyes then he quickly caught up with Germania.
It was just me and Sabir now. Couldn't Sabir tell that something was wrong with me? We're sisters! She should know me well enough. Sabir turned her back on me and walked away. Not a single word goodbye. I bet Germania knew that this would happen. I was just an experiment to him!
I walked back up to my room in Germania's palace and I reached under the bed. There was the small book that Germania had given me. I knew what it was for. I heard the voice inside my head say, "It keeps both of these worlds connected, right? This single book that could destroy this world and the other world and you have it right here in your hands. I'll hide it, but you are my prisoner Sankofa. I control you now."
The voice faded and I knew that things would get worse from here on out.
*( In Africa)*
"Damn you, Sabir! Just kill me right now and get it over with!" I screamed. I lost the battle. In the end, Sabir was better than me. We were both bloody and our dresses were torn. This battle had lasted for several hours. The only thing I could do was stand there and watch my body, which I know longer controlled, get beaten.
Sabir was over me now about to finish me off, but she hesitated. Sabir chuckled and said, "Kill you? Sankofa, you are my sister. I won't kill you. I'll send you to the other world. We cannot coexist anymore. Go find water and go to the other world. You are not to come back here. If you do come back here, I refuse to spare your life and show you mercy and pity."
Anger raged through me. How could she be so cruel? If I was killed, then I would be free! Will I always remain a prisoner to this thing that controls me? I stood up on my wobbly legs and took a few steps forward before looking back at Sabir's blood striken face.
"Good luck, Mother Africa." I said. I don't know how long I walked until I found water, but I knew one thing that was going to happen. Sabir would pay. Her countries would pay. Germania and Rome would pay. I'll be back for that book. It's the key to keeping these worlds together.
I'll be sure to break it permanently.
A/N: 6 pages? Holy crap this took me forever to type! Good thing I got home early :D So I hope you enjoyed and everything. How about you review for poor Sankofa? She's a prisoner! It'll make her happy if you review! And I'll be posting a preview for my spin off series! Yay! Thanks for reading! I'm about to start the next chapter which will be epic! :D
