(Knock, Knock)
Luicien and Mika both jolted awake, both having a drowsiness dead like expression.
"What the hell".
Said Mika in a daze.
Getting up from the bed felt like hell due to the morning cold which stung the skin, but Mika forced himself to get out of bed.
He pulled the door open fast, with his eyes still closed.
"Who the hell-".
He's eyes opened and there was standing Victoria, she had a black top, a simple skirt and the same long coat as yesterday.
Her hair was in a held up and half down style.
Mika panic when he realised it was her.
"Oh Victoria, morning".
His voice was slightly nervous, as he didn't want to piss her off.
She flicked her hair slightly.
"it's ready".
Luicien heard this and walked over to the door.
"You mean the teleportation spell".
Victoria had a 'well that's obvious' look on her face.
"What else could I be talking about".
Luicien looked at her face some more, he noticed her eye bags looked a somewhat worse.
"You haven't slept nor have had your morning coffee".
Victoria's face looked to the left, it was covered with guilt.
"Noooo-".
Luicien sighed.
"We're getting you coffee".
He grabbed the back of her coat and dragged her out of the cottage.
"Come on Mika".
Mika didn't hesitate and went along with them.
Now sat at a table Victoria had almost devoured her cappuccino.
Luicien was still drinking his latte.
Mika had a simple water.
Luicien placed his cup down after taking a sip.
"So, what is it we'll need to do?".
Victoria took a bite of her muffin that she had ordered with her coffee.
"The person renting the cottage said we can keep our stuff there for the mean time not that we have much. All we need to do is go to the abandoned building I've been setting the spell up and once I've performed it, we will be at the purple lake forest".
She took another bite of her muffin.
"I'm not sure on the exact location it will send us though".
Luicien picked up his cup and took a sip.
"That shouldn't be an issue, we'll be a step closer; that's what matters".
Victoria agreed.
Once they had finished at the coffee shop, they head to the outskirts of the village to the abandoned building. The scent of mold hit their noses, the place was a victim of aging. It had signs of being battered by the elements.
They went to a large room, in the middle of the room were a circle of candles, which were all attached together with rope.
In the middle of the circle was salt, with silver.
Victoria turned to Luicien and Mika.
"We need to stand in the circle and be warned for a little bit while we teleport, you may see your greatest fears".
They followed her orders and the three step into the circle.
Victoria pulled a book out of her shoulder strap bag.
She opened it until she got to page 50.
Her arm extended out.
"With magics hope and faith in one's self, let our energies extend and be transport to heavens hope".
Her eyes went up to the other two. That's when the circle around them started to glow.
The three of their visons went dark for a sec.
Once Mika could see again, he was face to face with 'The Grim Reaper'.
Mika looked at the dark figure, which robe was too big thus dragging across the floor.
"Who are you".
The darken figure opened its mouth, making a crunching sound in the process.
"I'm death and now is your time, Mikana".
Mika looked around, his face was a bit saddened now.
"Where are the people I love?".
The grim reaper looked at him with pity.
"They all left, there's no one here".
Mika didn't say anything, instead he shed a single tear which rolled down his face.
Victoria was face to face with a dead body, a thick red liquid went past the arm that was limp on the floor, a arm that was now grey.
Victoria's face looked as if someone just punched her in the stomach, but at the same time like this was going to happen.
"Hey Mum...".
Luicien saw Victorias dead body.
"Victoria?!".
The body was positioned in a way, so the face was facing away from Luicien.
He ran over to the body and turned it over. This was not Victoria's face.
Luiciens own hands didn't even look like his own.
"JUNE!".
A desperate cry came from his own voice, as blood covered 'his' hands.
"I WILL KILL THAT MONSTER!".
The body disappeared, replace with a poll of blood, forcing him to look at his own appearance.
There was a face that wasn't his own, instead what looked back at him was ginger hair and pale skin.
There were heavy footsteps behind him.
"Astra".
A demonic voice spoke.
'Luicien' went to turn around, but when he did, he was suddenly met with both the faces of Victoria and Mika, in a familiar place.
He looked down at his shaking hands.
What the hell was that just now. Is this Astras person I keep seeing connected to all of this?
Before he could think anymore into it, Victoria's voice cut through the silence.
"We're here".
Here voice was still monotoned, yet slightly shaky.
Luicien picked up on this.
I wonder if she's ok, she must have seen something awful.
He then turned to Mika and his face looked as if it had seen a ghost.
Luicien nodded to Mika to signal if he was ok.
Despite having wide eyes, Mika nodded back; So Luicien left it at that.
Victoria faced forward, her eyes met with the purple lake itself.
The vibrant purple colour made is evident.
They were here again, yet it was different.
Luicien and Victoria had grown so much together since the first time they were here.
So much has happened since we were last here, meeting him again, journeying with them. Showed me kindness, I'm glad to call both Luicien and Mika my friends
She turned back to the other two.
"Let's get going".
