You guy can totally kill me later. I really forgot this story because a lot of drama happened and I just forgot. But now that things have calmed down, I'm going to try and continue this. So, lets get back to it!
Chapter 5
The Villagers poured in like a wave against the rocks. It was a strange sight to behold. Dressers locking people inside themselves. Candles lighting people's feet. People fighting off coat racks and silverware. Tera fought back people as they tried to rush the stairs while Amanda struggled to get the front doors closed again.
As Tera cut another man down the stairs, she saw someone pushing their way through the crowd. They soon appeared and Tera smiled brightly. Kiari looked at her in pure hatred as she dripped from head to toe in water. "This is all your fault! If you had just listened to me and stayed away from the door we could still be back on the island!" She yelled, running up to her. "That's the problem! I want to get back to my home and I was sick and tired of waiting." She argued, knocking another villager down the stairs.
"You are being foolish! Riku did the same thing and now he is lost to me forever." Kiari yelled. The villagers were coming up the stairs faster and Tera had no time to argue. She looked to the front of the room to see why Amanda hadn't gotten the doors closed yet and saw she was gone. "Are you listening to me!" Kiari yelled as Tera fought off more villagers. "I'm kind of busy!" Tera yelled.
Kiari stormed up the stairs in rage. "Were the hell are you going?" Tera yelled after her. But she got no answer. Then suddenly the villagers stopped where they were and Devan appeared at the bottom of the stairs with Amanda.
Tera didn't truly grasp what was going on as they walked up the stairs. Devan had a smile of victory, while Amanda simply looked down at the stairs. "Why are you guys up here, you need to get the doors closed!" Tera argued. But she saw that the fighting had stopped and that everyone was focusing on them.
Devan went to walk by her, but Tera grabbed his arm. In a quick motion he twisted his arm to that he now had a hold of her, then with a quick back kick, knocked her down the stairs. "Tera!" Amanda yelled as Tera fell to the bottom. "Leave her…" Devan then walked up the stairs, Amanda following after him.
Tera got to her feet, staring at their backs as the reached the top of the stairs. 'What is Amanda doing? And why is Devan still being the bad guy? She could only wonder what had gone wrong. But she remembered that they were going to steal the rose and had to stop them.
She ran up the stairs, her heart pounding with ever step. She could hear the angry screams of the village as they followed behind her. She heard the roar of the beast as she turned down a hall. Tera kept fighting the urge to stop and give up. But she believed deep inside that everything would turn out fine. A yell of agony filled her ears as she reached the west stairwell. Her heart raced faster. As she made her way down the dark hallway she heard another roar and a scream that would make anyone cry. Tera barged in, but stood frozen. The beast lay what seemed Dead, Belle crying over his body.
Tera looked around to see Devan standing on the balcony, his sword soaked with blood and a victorious grin on his face. And in his hand he held the rose. "How could you kill him?" Tera screamed, stepping towards him. "I didn't kill him, he is still alive...for now." Tears formed in Tera's eyes as she watched Devan jump from the balcony again. "I'll get you for this Devan!" Tera screamed over the balcony.
But the sight of lights flashing behind her got her attention. She turned to see that the Beast was in the air, but as he floated, his claws became hands and feet. His Beastly mug became a handsome face of a normal man. And his bulky animal body became that of a regular man. He then floated back down to the ground, where Belle quickly took him into her arms. "What did you do?" Tera asked cautiously. "I told him that I loved him and I do." Belle answered simply, staring deeply into his face.
Soon the man opened his eyes and stared up into Belle's soft concerned face. Tera's heart gave a leap of happiness as they embraced one another. But the sound of cursing and an explosion caught her attention. It was Devan and something had gone wrong in his plan. There was still hope. Without fully thinking it through, she quickly jumped from the balcony.
The fall to the ground was father than she had imagined. With quickness she managed to miss most of the branches, but one caught her arm, causing her to spin and get hit with more branches and eventually falling to the ground in a heap. "Ow…" She got to her feet slowly, her head throbbing from the fall.
She walked through the forest, trying to locate Devan. He had the rose and she wasn't going to let him have it. But her search seemed hopeless because everything looked the same. She didn't know if she was actually getting somewhere or if she was just walking in a circle.
Then the sound of something flying through the air caught her attention. Before she could really do anything, something crashed with the back of her head in a painful crack.
The blow sent her straight to the ground and she couldn't see straight. She thought she heard the sound of approaching footsteps but could not locate them. She then heard them come to a stop somewhere close to her. A moment of silence filled the air before she felt a sharp pain shoot through her hand.
She cried out as she realized that someone was stepping one her hand. They then twisted their foot, tearing at her skin, making her eyes water in true pain. "I told you not to mess with us. I even gave you a chance to live. But then you have the balls to come after me. I think your time playing hero is over." The voice was no doubt Devan and he was truly pissed.
She felt his foot leave her hand and heard him step back. She still could not see straight and the throbbing over her body made it even harder to focus. But the sound of something else flying through the air and Devan crying out made her feel a little better. "Get away from her Devan!" yelled out a familiar voice.
"Amanda?" Tera asked, rolling herself over in hopes to see. And there, standing a few feet from her was a blurry version of Amanda. "Amanda, how dare you betray me!" Devan yelled, pulling a small knife out of his arm. "You know this is wrong. I can't work for him any more! I can't bring ultimate darkness!" She yelled, pulling out her sword.
"you will regret the day that you did this. He does not take abandonment so lightly." Tera looked at Devan, her vision starting to clear. But he had not drawn his sword. He simply took a step back into what looked like a black void, disappearing inside it and the void closing up.
Amanda walked over and grabbed Tera's hand, pulling her to her feet. She got the feeling that Amanda wasn't happy about what she did. "Thank you." She said, trying to sound as sincere as possible.
Amanda stood there with an annoyed look on her face. She had pulled down the hood of her cloak, so her features were clear. She had bluish Green eyes and had long flowing black hair with electric blue highlights in it. Her face was clear and had the sure impression of anger and annoyance. "Cheer up. As soon as we get off this world, we'll have a fresh start." Tera told her, trying to make her smile.
"Do you even have any idea how to go from world to world?" Amanda asked her, her face not showing any change. "We just have to find a door with a keyhole on it. I'm sure every world has it." Tera told her in complete confidence. "Your using the worlds doors to travel?" Amanda asked her in shock. "Yeah, why?" Tera said, confused by her reaction.
"You idiot! You're using Darkness to travel! And if you continue to travel that way, your heart won't be able to fight off the darkness much longer." Amanda yelled, starting to walk off. "Well excuse me! I saw my way off that stupid excuse for an island and took it. Mind telling me how you get from world to world?" Tera argued, following after her.
Amanda remained silent as she led them through the woods. "What about Kiari? We can't jut leave her here." Tera said to her suddenly. "You want to bring along a girl who obviously wants nothing to do with you?" Amanda asked in disbelief. Tera went silent at the question.
"Well, this is were we part ways." Amanda told her, getting to a long dirt road. "What do you mean?" Tera asked, confused. "I have to get back with Devan so we can…well, anyway, goodbye." Amanda started to walk off, but Tera gave hot pursuit. "You can't just leave me here! I need to get back home!" Tera yelled. "Then use one of your door things." Amanda kept walking forward, trying to loose her in the trees.
"You said not to do that because of the darkness!" Tera argued, trying to keep up. Amanda remained silent, speeding up her pace. "Please Amanda! Just take me to the next world and then you can leave me, okay? You are my friend after all." Tera begged, hoping that Amanda would listen to her.
Amanda gave a sigh of defeat and turned to her. "Fine, just to the next world. I drop you off and then I'm out of there, got it!" Amanda told her, looking very stern. Tera nodded and hugged her happily. "Thank you so much Amina!" Tera yelled with delight. "What did you call me?" Amanda asked, confused. "It's my new nickname for you. I think it sounds so cute." Tera told her with happiness. Amanda only shook her head and continued to walk.
They walked in silence, except for Tera who was humming a made up song. After what seemed forever, Amanda came to a stop in front of large bushes. She quickly pulled them away to reveal a large black and purple ship that seemed to be made of legos. "What is it?" Tera asked as Amanda climbed in. "It's a gummi ship. Are you coming or what?" Amanda asked, already pushing some of the numerous buttons. Tera nodded and climbed quickly into the ship as the top closed down. Amanda pushed a couple more buttons and they soon took off.
After they left the world, it was a strange sight. It was not like outer space with millions of stars and never ending blackness. It was a multi-colored place with other ships all around you, trying to shoot at you while you made your way through things floating around. "Why are those ships shooting at us?" Tera asked as Amanda avoided another attack. "Because they are heartless and they try to destroy anything with a heart." Amanda explained.
They drove on in silence until the question popped into Tera's mind. "Why didn't Devan take the ship when he had the chance?" Amanda remained silent for a while, driving the ship skillfully around the obstacles. "He has a better and faster way of traveling" was her only answer. Tera accepted the answer and turned back out the window, wondering if she would ever find her way back home.
