"To cut through anything, you bsically use it like a regular knife, but to cut between worlds is different. You have to hold it at an angle. Turn it so that the blade is diagonally vertical to the ground and move it forward and cut through. Make a square and walk right through. Then you're in another world."
"That's it?" Lisa asked.
"Yes. Try it." Devin said.
"Alright" Lisa said.
She did exactly as he had said and there was a whole new world right in front of her.
"Good!" Devin said "Now, I need to show you how to close it. You just need to pinch the sides together. It'll close. It's quite simple. Git it a try."
Lisa looked trough the window to another world again. Then she bagan to pinch the flaps together. The other world vanished and she could see across her living room once again.
"Wow!" Lisa said. "That's actually very easy. Is that all I need to know?"
"Well, you'll know when it's your time to go. So then, you'll just have to choose another person as the bearer. That's it." Devin said.
"I actually never need to worry about dying unless I destroy the stone. It'll keep me alive. Wait! I could give you some of mine. Then you don't have to die! That's a great idea! I'll cut a piece off with the knife!" Lisa said.
Just then, at the same time, Devin dropped dead, and Lisa's pinky finger and ring finger oh her right hand fell off.
"Oh my god!" Lisa and Andrea screamed together.
"Devin!" Andrea screamed.
Lisa hadn't noticed what happened to Devin right next to her. She only took in that her fingers had just fallen off. Lisa looked to her side and saw Devin dead on the floor and Andrea crouched over him.
"Oh my god! Devin!" Lisa screamed as she sank to the floor beside Andrea.
Lisa got up a few minutes later and sprinted out the door. Andrea remained to next to the body. Lisa ran across their 2 acres of land to their neighbor's house. The house Devin once lived in. The house his mother still lived in. Lisa ran to the door panting and sobbing at the same time, and rang the door bell.
Devin's mom, Maria answered. She was frightened by Lisa's uncontrollable crying.
"What dear?! What has happened?" Maria said.
"It's Devin. He just told me how to use the knife. He chose me as the bearer. I had an idea to save his life and right after I said it, he dropped." Lisa explained.
Maria looked sadly into Lisa's eyes, then glanced at her hand, which was missing two fingers and was bleeding badly. She looked bakc into Lisa's eyes and hugged her tightly and they stood there for a long time, crying and hugging.
