Sadie and Amos- regular script

Ethan- Italicized

As Sadie and Amos made it to the end of the hall, they found one last issue… there were two doors on each side, but which one was the one they needed?

"Great. Now what do we do?" Asked Sadie, stomping her foot out of frustration and worry.

"This is a bit of a challenge isn't it? I would suggest splitting up and have each one of us take a door, but I'm afraid of what may happen. It seems there are too many unknowns. Looking at the two different memories at once. We have to choose one though." Lectured Amos.

"What if we choose the wrong one?" Inquired Sadie, looking at her uncle.

"I don't think it would bid well for Carter if we did and failed." Replied Amos, sighing as he ran a hand across his hair and neck.

"Well we hav- "Sadie paused.

"Take the door to your right sweetheart." Spoke an unseen figure.

"Did you hear that?!" Yelped Sadie.

"Hear what?" Asked Amos confused at the sudden change in Sadie.

"The voice…it…it?" Answered Sadie confused as to who or what she heard.

"Sadie no one, not even that evil is here to- "Amos drifted off as he caught a flickering movement out of the corner of his eye. "Sadie come here and stay close." Ordered Amos not feeling unease but still protective.

"Take the door to your right Sadie, it holds the cure and truth" Spoke the figureless voice again.

"Uncle Amos…it wants us to take the door to the right." Said Sadie wary of the voice.

"How would it know which door to take?" Questions Amos as the flickering form of something appeared before him. It gave Amos a sense of familiarity but did nothing to relieve his nerves.

"I don't know" was Sadie's reply as she watched her uncle's eyes widen larger than should be possible and his jaw practically hit the ground. "What? Uncle Amos what is it?" Asked Sadie only to be ignored.

Unknown to Sadie the flickering figure in front of Amos had finally been able to take shape, though it was weak. The person who stood before Amos was the last person he though he would ever see again… his father. Amos was unable to understand how it was possible for a long dead man, he had looked up to as a child, was able to be in the mind of his nephew, who had never even seen him once before. Finally, Amos snapped out of it and turned to Sadie. He couldn't understand so many things, 'How was his father here? How could he see him, but Sadie couldn't? It hit him his father wasn't an illusion like the imposter Carter before, but he also wasn't powerful enough to take whole form. He was split, Sadie heard while Amos saw.

"Sadie…what does the voice sound like?" Inquired Amos watching his father out of his peripheral vision.

"What…why?"

"Please Sadie it may help." Asked a desperate Amos, shocking Sadie.

"Umm… well it sounds like a man. The voice is calm but honestly sounds like he swallowed too much saltwater and dried his throat out. Why?" Questioned Sadie.

"Just a minute I have an idea that may help the both of us understand." Was Amos' only reply before he closed his eyes in concentration.

Amos had focused as much energy as he could into connecting his and Sadie's own connection to his father. It was tiring but he was able to form a small window of opportunity. "Sadie hold my hand, okay? It'll help the connection to the voice." Said Amos to his niece who stood there confused before grabbing hold of uncle's hand.

A sense of calmness came over Sadie and she closed her eyes to take it in but when she opened them again she realized that her uncle and her were no longer alone in the hall. There was a flickering form of an old man near the exit, smiling sweetly at them.

"Hello. You don't know me but your uncle does." Said the man.

"Who are you?" asks Sadie curiously.

"My name is Ethan Kane, I'm your grandfather…on your father's side of course." Replied her grandfather as Sadie looked between Amos and Ethan unsure of how to proceed but was saved by her uncle as he spoke up.

"Three things first before we run out of time. One, how are we so sure you're not some fake?' Asked Amos.

"Smart Amos, always be aware… but alright ask me anything and I'll answer." Replied his father.

"Very well…" Amos thought of something that not even Carter would know to prove it wasn't another part of his subconscious. "When me and Julius were nine, we all went hiking but I came home with a scar. Where is it and how did I get it?" Questioned Amos.

"You have a scar along your upper right shoulder down your left hip because you tried to go exploring without your brother or I and ended up slipping down on a jagged piece of rock about a mile away from where we set up camp. Nasty cut too, had to cut the trip short and take you to the hospital. We were stuck there for two days to make sure it didn't get infected."

Amos was stunned, it really was his father, only his dad could have known because his mother and brother were left at a small motel during the hospital stay. Amos never told anyone how he had gotten it and even his brother forgot after a while.

"Uncle Amos?" Called Sadie hesitantly

"It's okay Sadie, he's telling the truth," Replied Amos

"Ok, but we're running out of time."

"Yes, Amos you both must hurry. You have been here too long and I grow weak. You wonder how I am here…yes?" Spoke Ethan. Amos could only nod. "I myself do not know how; besides Carters magic. You wish to know how I am aware of which door is the correct one? I have been with Carter since he was born and I know enough about a magical mind to be able to distinguish memories old and new. You must trust me son, take the door on the right. Find the cure and save the boy. I haveno time left, so I must go now. I wish you well and our love to you all." Elaborated the eldest Kane as he faded from the existence of Carters mind.

"That was odd." Said Sadie coming out of her confusion and shock quickly.

Amos was not as easily brought back to reality. He was in shock, but sadly he did not have the time to be. They needed to help Carter.

"Uncle Amos we have to go. Come on." Stated Sadie

"yes, let's get this over with, your grandfather was right we have been here too long." Answered Amos, shaking off his weariness from using so much energy for such a small task.

"Are you okay? You look tired." Noticed Sadie

"I will be fine, nothing that getting out of here won't fix."

Sadie grabbed her uncles hand once more aa they walked over and stood before the door. Amos reached out and grasped the handle, with one final look at Sadie he turned it and pulled the door open. It was within those two seconds that everything once again became brighter, washing away their surroundings. Once the light had faded, both magicians opened their eyes to see where they were. They were surprised to find that they had ended up…..
