A/N: Hey all! A "Thank you so much" to all who reviewed my story. You have
no idea how much reviews mean to me.. But then if you are a fanfic writer
you probably do - they mean the world! I'll answer a couple of questions
first and then you'll read the chapter.
To lovelyinsanity - yah, I will try to paragraph this, but my upload
feature has been giving me a headache!
To JnY - this takes place approximately 100 years after the Second War,
which is very far into the future, I know, but don't anticipate anything to
be gone just because its from times long past.
Once again, thanks for reviewing.
Disclaimer: (I have to go through this again don't I). I don't own anything related to Harry Potter, JK Rowling does. I own my laptop and my imagination though, thank you very much.
Alright, on with it.
Chapter 2 - Shadows
When Merwin awoke, everything around him was shrouded in shadows. His head ached where it hit the floor, and he sat up, straining to see. He could make out vague shapes of two people next to him, but hardly more.
"Sunny! Agatha!" he shook their shoulders. Sunny replied with almost knocking him over as he spun around and got up.
"What happened?" he asked, his voice trembling.
"Hey, hey, Sunny, relax. We all probably just fell down and were knocked out until nightfall. I think we are still back in the room."
Sunny reached out into the darkness.
"I.I don't think so." he said, his voice trembling. He made a step into the darkness. "This seems like a completely different place altogether! Its much larger, I daresay." Sunny sank to his knees, and turned to continue Merwin's attempts to wake Agatha up.
Merwin looked around and felt the floor around them, hoping he would find their flashlight. He did, and clicked on the switch, however, no beam of light shot out. Merwin shivered. He felt cold creeping up his spine into his heart. The shadows around seemed to swirl, like a dark mist.
....we welcome you Potter...
"What was that?" Merwin spun around, hitting Sunny.
"Hey, what did you do that for?"
"I heard a voice.. Several voices actually. Echoing." Merwin looked around frantically, but only shadows greeted him.
....the shadows creep into your heart and from this place you'll never part...
"There it is again!" Merwin grabbed Sunny's shoulder.
"I don't hear anything." The other boy said. He looked visibly annoyed. "Look, Merwin, this is no time to be fooling around, alright?"
"I am not fooling around! I could've sworn I heard something!"
"Just forget it, okay?" Sunny was obviously frightened and was trying to hide it behind a false façade of anger and bravery.
"I. I suppose." Merwin sat down.
Am I going crazy, he thought, hearing voices in my head is definitely not a sign of sanity. But those voices. so real. so eerie.
"You'd be of better use if you tried to help me get her on her feet!" Sunny was propping Agatha into a sitting position, for she was still unconscious. Merwin attempted to help him, to get up, to do anything, but a strange chill enveloped his whole being.
"Sunny. I cant. cant get up.."
...the spirits whisper in your mind now leave your sanity behind....
"Sunny! Help me!" Merwin was panicking as he felt he was being carried on the cold waters of a dark river..
...cold so cold, cant see the bottom, the green water in your eyes makes a worthy sacrifice. ...
"Sunny!" he screamed out as the shadows closed in on him.
