Chapter 11 Officially I'm insane
"What happened Mystery?"
She shrugged like it was nothing, "I managed to elude them for now, I'm not sure how much longer I can"
"I have to figure this out, so far all I know is your sisters name and we we're in the mental place together"
She stroked my face, soft and warm, how I imagned her touch would feel like "I know its over whelming Kane, but I believe you can do this, right now you only have to remember, once you let yourself unlock your brain, you will find the answers, I give you my word"
Mystery vanished again leaving me alone to wonder about everything. I had all the clues, I just had to figure how they all went together.
"Wow you're really thinking hard aren't ya?"
I looked up and it was made official, I'm insane.
"Mystery?" I just took her in, her little black dress, hair in pigtails, a lollipop hanging from her mouth. She looked like an eight year old girl. Yeah, little creepy.
She gave a giggle, playing with her pigtails "How sweet! You think I'm my sister"
"Who are you?"
"You should know Kane, you did go to grave"
"Iziah?"
She clapped her hands joyfully, those pig tails bouncing up and down. "Yes."
"Why are you here?"
Iziah took her lollipop from her mouth and thoughtfully tapped it against her chin "I'm here to warn you"
I wanted to ask what any normal person would, but I was still stuck on how she was dressed and what I could see right now. It was more than a little un-settling and weird.
"You're wondering why I'm like this" Iziah extended her arm and looked at it wistfully, "When a person commits suicide, their negative feelings are automatically replaced by the first happy memory they recall, for me it was my eighth birthday, thats why I'm like this"
"You wanted to warn me about the guardians?" I pulled the conversation back, now that I knew why she was acting like an eight year old I could move on.
"No, I don't wanna warn you about the guardians, I wanna warn you about the quakers, you need to beat them if you wanna save her"
"Who are the quakers?"
"They have started a war, and unless you save my sister everything is gonna go downwards"
"They want to destroy the world"
Iziah laughed "Your world? You think so small Kane, no dear boy, they wanna destroy OUR world, the other side of life. If they destroy our world, then everyone stays on earth until the dead are litterly walking. If our world is gone, no one can cross over and the earth will be nothing more than death on earth. The quiakers are after her and you have to stop them"
"Why do they want her?"
"My sister is one powerful woman, now that she's almost dead her power has only increased, if the quakers recruit her then our world is screwed, however if you find her and save her, then the quakers can't get to her"
"So now I have to outrun the quakers and the guardians"
"Yeah and time isn't exactly on your side either" Iziah gave a sigh, "So many people wanting different things, I want her to be happy, you want to save her, she wants to save you, the quakers want death on earth and the guardians want to take her to the final rest stop." Iziah shook her head "And now I'm dizzy, may I sit down?"
"Sure"
Iziah skipped three paces to me and plonked herself down in my lap, her arms around my neck, "Thats better, so tell me Kane what is your grand plan?"
"I don't know, I'm still trying to figure out why your sitting on my lap. Little creepy"
Iziah giggled, "Sorry, couldn't help it" Still she didn't make any effort to move "Perhaps I could help a little, I have a giant clue that could help you, but you have to promise me, that you won't tell my sister, I could get in a lot of trouble" Her fingers played down my chest which didn't help anything. "Alright"
Thankfully Iziah stopped touching me in sexual ways, "Think back to a friend of your's, think back to why he gave up his passion, think how you thought it was nothing but you knew that it was something. You knew Kane that something big was behind it, think back and the whole thing will come to you"
I had no idea what Iziah was on about, but clearly it was something, thankfully she went on. "Lets go over what you know so far, you know that my sister was murdered, you know that you were together in a mental place, you know that I commited suicide two days after her apparent death, now think three days after that something happened, something that would change how you saw him"
I was only getting more confused, but somewhere through the dark, I saw the light. A thin ray of hope but before I could question it, it tumbled from my mouth. The only thing I could think of that had made me think twice about my life.
"Shawn retired from wrestling, he was done with it"
Iziah's eyes lit up as she finally got off my lap, "Ahh, now your gettin there Kane, now you have to figure out the rest, and if it helps at all I know you can do this"
"Izzy, what are you doing here?"
"Its good to see you too" Iziah grined at her sister, "I've managed to hold off the quakers for now, they for some reason, seem to think that your currently hiding out on the plains, big plains they are, you could be anywhere"
Mystery looked to her sister greatfully, it was then I realised that just because they were both dead it didn't mean they saw each other alot. "Thank you Izzy, always looking out for me"
"Yeah" Iziah stroked her face lovingly, "I hope that you can save him, more to the point I hope he save you"
Mystery nodded, a stray tear down her face as Iziah skipped out the door and away from us. "Kane, I'm sorry to overwhelm you, I'll let you process this"
She gave me a sad look as she too vanished before my eyes.
"Don't go" Was all I could whisper as she disappeared from me. Again.
