Chapter 6
The Prophecy of Fate
Lydia's dream was getting to her. She couldn't stop thinking on what Beetlejuice had told her about their connection with each other. She wanted to start learning and fast. The longer they wait the less time Beetlejuice will have to survive.
The morning came and all enjoyed the morning sun and food. Everything was packed and ready to go. Their journey was only beginning.
"Where are we going exactly?" Kyle asked Veronika.
"A place where I have been living for many years. It's a small village about a day from here. The people there are very humble and helped me one day when I was attacked by a lone sandworm. They nursed me back to health and I decided to stay. Life there is peaceful and I know you will enjoy your stay there too." Veronika missed her home and couldn't wait to return.
"Is there any place there where I can work on my daily training there? I have been kind of slacking a bit." Endri asked.
"Of course there is. Besides you will be training Lydia on her new found powers." Veronika mentioned.
"Wait what? How do you know if Lydia has any powers? How would she be able to even have any supernatural powers?" Endri asked with a bit of confusion. How could Lydia have powers? She is alive. Could it be possible since she has been in the Neitherworld for so long?
"Due to her being connected to Beetlejuice for so long, they have become one with each other. They share the same soul. She has all the abilities he has. All she needs to do is unlock her mind and use her gifts to her will. This only happens when soul mates find their true significant other." Veronika knew her daughter was going to have a hard time. She had to help her rise to her destiny.
They had been walking for half a day and decided to take a rest. Kyle sat on a near by rock and took of his shoes to rub his aching feet. Endri found a comfortable spot in the grass and started doing sit ups to stretch out his muscles. Lydia on the other hand didn't want to stop. She had such drive in her to find Beetlejuice it drove her nuts. She had to find a place to sit and concentrate on her thoughts and clear her head.
"I'm going to take a walk. I will be back. I have to clear my head. Don't worry I will be fine." Lydia walked on and took her time. Everything was going crazy in her head. Thoughts of Beetlejuice, her new found powers she never knew she had, her family at home and how they are, and what her job would say after coming back without saying anything that she was leaving. Also finding her mother here in the Neitherworld.
Lydia decided to think on the new powers her mother had mentioned. She found a small clearing and thought it would be perfect to practice. Standing in the middle of the clearing, Lydia closed her eyes and cleared her mind. Thinking to her self, she tried to figure out how to tap into the new found powers and use them.
"Ok, now how to do this. Bj could just do it so easily and made it look like there was nothing to it. Of course he had several hundred years to practice and master it. Now it's my turn. I have to do this for him. I will never give up. Even to my last breath I will do anything to save him."
She could feel something warm coursing through her body and made her feel empowered. Her figure tips started to tingle and her heart raced. Is this what she was supposed to feel? Was this the power starting to work?
The surrounding started to change. She was in a place where all she saw was darkness. She slowly started to hear the rattling of chains, the coldness of the dark, and the smell of rot and decay. She opened her eyes to what looked like a dungeon. She shivered to the site of it. She decided to have a look around. What could hurt her here in her mind? It was all a vision right? Looking into what looked like cells, she saw bones in some, and recently passed on prisoners. She didn't like what she was seeing. She tried to shake the thought out of her head when she heard a familiar voice.
"Get off of me you bustards. Just wait until Lydia comes for me. You will pay for what you have done. She won't stop until I'm free."
The slamming of a cell door came shortly after she heard his voice, then silence. It was Beetlejuice. She leaped into a sprint. Her heart couldn't stop pounding to the thought that she had found him at last. Tears started to run down her face with joy. Then something told her to stop, coming short of one lone cell. She turned slowly and there he was. His suit was torn to shreds, his hair a mess, looking like it did years ago, and his shoes were missing. To Lydia, he looked like a train wreck. That was bad when it came to him and even his standards.
"Beej I'm here to save you. It's me your Lyds." Lydia just wanted to rip the cell door off with all her strength and take him home.
Beetlejuice looked around like he heard a voice calling to him but did not see where it was coming from. He acted if he was losing it.
"Bj, over here. Don't you see me?" Lydia didn't understand why he couldn't see her. She was right there in plan sight.
"Lydia? Where are you? I hear you but don't see you. Wow I must be losing it. Now I'm hearing things." Beetlejuice hung his head and placed his hands on his face. He started to cry. It looked as if he was giving up hope to be saved.
"I will save you. I will even give my life to save you Beetlejuice. Please hang on. Keep me in your heart and I will give you the strength to get through this." The room started to grow dark and everything went black.
"No not yet, please take me back. I need to save him. Beetlejuice!" Her surroundings went back to the woods where she started meditating. She looked up to see Endri standing in front of her. She felt lost. She could feel the sadness welling up inside her. She was falling apart as though she could feel what Beetlejuice was feeling at that very moment.
"You saw father didn't you. Can you tell us what you saw? It could be a clue to finding him." Endri knelt down and placed a hand on her shoulder.
Lydia explained what she saw to the others and everyone was amazed. Kyle never knew of any place in the Neitherworld that had such dungeons. All were up to date there.
"It could be a place were time never touched it. Pepper told me that everything tries to keep up to date here in the Neitherworld. I might have to get in contact with her to find any place that might be behind on time. Let me see." Kyle looked down at his wrist and it looked like he was checking the time on a watch. Here to their surprise, it was a communicator. "Pepper, we need some information on any places that may be out of the updating time range. Lydia is having some visions that may be a key to finding out where Beetle is." On the communicator they heard Dr. Pepper's voice answer back with some interference.
"Let me check. Well would you look at that." Pepper replied.
"Wish I could but it would be very hard right now to do so dear." Kyle replied in a bit of annoyance.
"Sorry, forgot you were out. Anyway it looks as if every things in order, except one thing. There is a land mass that looks to be separated from the Neitherworld. It is floating about Twenty Five miles above the Neitherworld itself. Let me look more into this before you go and do something stupid and get your self hurt Kyle." Pepper explained.
"Yes dear I will wait for your answer and trust me I will be fine. Love you Pep." Kyle said with a smile.
"Love you too Ky. Be careful out there. Pepper out." With that the communicator beeped and turned off.
"Wow now you have nicknames for each other. Very cute." Endri said as a big smile went across his face.
"Shut up." Kyle blushed with embarrassment.
"Hey I have to give you a hard time like always." Endri stood to his feet and thought about Lydia's vision. It seemed familiar to him and started to rack his brain. 'We should get moving. This doesn't seem good at all to me."
"Yes let's get moving and we should be at the village soon." Veronika started to walk ahead.
Lydia rose to her feet and walked with her. The others walked close behind worrying about their friend.
In the dungeon were Beetlejuice was held things were getting darker for him. Everything couldn't get any worse. From what he heard from soldiers randomly walking by, they were going to use his powers to destroy the Neitherworld. If that was the case, everyone and everything was doomed. He was and still is to this day the most powerful ghost in the Neitherworld and living world.
"I have to try to escape again. I can't let them do this. Even for me it's heartless to do this." Beetlejuice thought and knew of the only thing that can help him self out of this situation. Lydia. She now had access to the powers within her. He hated for what he had to do. Use her as a weapon against them. Knowing that it was the only way, he knew of the dangers it could cause.
At last, the four companions made it to the village. It had its own unique style. It looked to have Native American and Aztec structures. It was something that made Lydia and the boys just look it awe.
Coming up to the entrance of the village, Veronika was greeted by many of the villagers. They all looked so relieved that she had returned and in one piece. So many smiling faces and happy souls.
Kyle and Endri had never seen such unity. Even they were greeted by some of the villagers. Lydia slowly walked up from behind them and everyone from the village had stopped in their tracks and looked at her with awe. They all turned and bowed to her. They looked to her as a goddess that had come from the heavens. They all went o their knees and bowed to her.
"What is going on Veronika? Why are they bowing to Lydia?" Kyle asked.
"It is said that the one with the purest of hearts with the soul of the ghost, shall one day come to save us in the Neitherworld from the greatest evil we will ever face. She shall bear the light that will shine with truth. Only then she shall realize what must be done. She will also face the greatest sacrifice." Veronika said with a heavy heart. "She will have the saddest story and will have to live on in that sadness, forever." She knew she will have to keep her daughter moving on even if her sacrifice was too much to handle.
"If that is what is to come I will stand by her side and help her through this." Endri said as he walked up to Veronika. "Even if it means that I have to help her make the sacrifice."
"You know that would kill her and that she would never forgive you for it Dri." Kyle said in surprise of his friend even considering the thought.
"Look if it has to be done to save us all then it will be done. I had to see my fate and I'm not going to let that happen here. I know it's cruel to say, but it has to be done." Endri walked away and joined Lydia.
"Wow, I've never seen him like that, ever." Kyle stood there in bewilderment.
"Let us go and get something in our stomachs. We have a very busy day tomorrow." Veronika motioned for Kyle to go into the village first and she followed.
"Endri, I don't know what is going on but something tells me I'm on the right path. All this seems familiar." Lydia said with a peace in voice.
"Everything will turn out right, you will see. Everything will go back to normal and we will forget everything ever happened." Endri knew he had to try to hide to truth from her. He knew it was wrong, but knew it was right at the time. All his heart was saying was liar.
