1 Chapter IV
2 A Stranger
"Quickly, this way!" there were footsteps, growing steadily louder. I grabbed hold of De's arm and yanked her into the wall with me. Before she could speak, I clasped my hand around her mouth, and stopped breathing. She copied. We stood completely still.
"Shh, or they'll here us. Slowly, we should creep up on them, or they'll be ready for us, and there's no telling what these outsiders would do to us." We remained silent, I was cautious to let a breath escape even. Slowly I did. I removed my hand, allowing De to do the same. She almost gagged. Still we were silent.
"They're near, I just know it! What will he say if we fail him? They can't have learnt any wicca yet. Even he wasn't that quick! Lets go." They moved away, but I stayed there, unmoving. How could they know we arrived? I thought. Then another voice in my head, always the bearer of bad news, said how? Well I doubt it's everyday that people fall from portals, even in the realm of the wiccan.
The wiccan, that was where we were, I was sure. I knew again. I can't explain it, when I think truth I've never before realised, it makes my insides feel, right somehow. When ever anyone tells me anything, I can tell if they're lying. It used to scare me, but now it might come in handy.
I peered out, no one was there, if there had been, it wouldn't have mattered, I remembered, I was invisible. I gently pushed Lydia out of the space, and picked up the necklace, placed it around my neck, and hid it beneath my garments. I'd share it with her later. How important was a dagger on a chain anyway?

"They remain unfound, my lord. Surely this proves they are not here. Our, er, mutual friend, must have been babbling, trying to save himself in one final, pitiful attempt. Shall I call off the search?" The grotesque figure asked, fearfully, to the same smooth figure. He then cowered back to the wall, remembering there previous conversation. An evil laugh was issued from the blackness that stretched before the beast.
"I thought you understood me before, beast! You of all creatures, hideous or, beautiful," as if to say no such thing could exist, "Question me again, and I'll have to go to the trouble of finding you a permanent replacement, and you know how much pain can be inflicted before death! Now call off the search, they will come to me in good time."
Beast's already disgusting face screwed up, giving an even greater feeling of fear and revulsion to any unfortunate enough to rest their eyes upon him. Unlike the mysterious figure, he showed all how he looked. Let them know his position. Hoping to strike horrendous fear into their hearts with the information. Most were horrified at his appearance, and lack of social abilities, but they all knew he was under instruction by a higher power. Still, they kept out of his way, as none knew how well he could affect his bosses, or who they were, how merciful.
We felt tired, who knew how long we'd been in the portal, or on this plain, on this dimension. We walked the corridors, invisible, in search of somewhere to rest our eyes. We stumbled (literally) into a storage room, there was a hidden stretch at the back, so we snuggled down, and fell to sleep almost immediately.
A stranger walked into the room. No threat to us at all. He put a blanket over us, and placed two beakers of drink, some other clothes and a silver box by us. He left then, he felt we must prove our selves first, then he would help us, that's what I thought when I woke to find the situation.
by the way, re rote chapter 2, so can look @ that if u want!
