Betrayal.
This is what it feels like.
So cold, yet burning hot.
Suffocating, all the air has fled.
Shell-shocked.
Too numb to speak or think.
It hurts.
It harms.
It can kill.
LINEBREAK
Tragic saw her brother coming from the cave, golden eyes locked onto the red orbs across the meadow. She felt the harsh sting of betrayal, like a slap in the face. She knew that someone called him.
Tech saw his sister, unable to move or talk, golden eyes brimming with unshed tears that he knew would never fall. She was too proud to cry, but perhaps madness had warped her.
Lily saw the person from her dreams, the person she had called to help them. She felt herself breathe a sigh of relief. He had come to save them. Everything would be okay now.
Darkness saw a threat. Red eyes and an aura of badness, he knew that nothing good could come from this person being here. He would destroy them.
Amber saw evil. She saw that he would cause something terrible to happen. She knew that in the end, someone would have to go, and it might be her.
ANOTHER LINEBREAK
The red-eyed man saw targets. He saw the gullible boy who had made a deal with him. He saw the girl who would stand in his way. He saw the groups of people amassed at the edges of the forest. Then he saw them. Amber, Darkness_J, and Blacklily.
Amber, the Listener.
Darkness, the Shield.
And Lily, the Seer.
Together they could hold back the mobs, and keep them in the Nether, but if one of them were to fall... everything else would.
He forced his way into Ambers` mind, and heard the voices. He cringed at the voices, a got out.
He peered into Darkness` mind, and found that he was subconsciously pushing against the monsters whilst trying to figure out why he was here.
He slid into Lily`s mind. Her mind was a cacophony of thoughts, all swirling and screaming. He didn`t know how she could deal with such a busy mind.
But when he tried to get into Tech`s mind, some unknown force shoved against him, not allowing him to enter.
He was puzzled, but decided to try and crack open Tragic`s mind. He did so easily, much more easily than with any of the others, and found that her mind was almost at a standstill, but the one thought that was moving around was swirling and twisting and laced with madness. Now he understood why he had been called here.
Tragic had the Ender Curse, and would soon be going through the Change, unless he could stop it. This was new knowledge to him, and he only knew one thing for certain.
Not that he could cure her.
Not that she wouldn`t Change even if he tried to cure her.
What he knew is that this changed everything.
The odds might finally be in his favor.
A bit short, I know, but this is an important chapter, people! Don`t be angry, please!
