"Black it wasn't me I beg of you I just want to be with you"
I shot up from my seat,
"D-did you hear that?" That sounded too familiar,
"Hear what?" Rowena crossed her arms, "I'm not in the mood to play games" I shook my head that's happened before as well but that voice sounded stupidly like... no don't do this to yourself Black get a grip!
"Don't worry, I've sent everything about what they need to know to them, so apparently Riley-" I paused her name tasted bitter sweet on my tongue, "-she's with my mother, and she's being controlled by a sorceress who is new but somehow very powerful? And you want me to meet a random guy in the woods?" I cheack rd everything off on my fingers,
"They're closer to you then you think, I know when you tried to go back to the cabin you were attack but one thing you didn't realize is that they were clones, you met the undercover versions of the real them but as soon as you went MIA the training whatever you call it panicked and tried to trap you" my jaw clenched,
"Are you saying?"
"Yes, they've been trapped in some wee prison at that training thingy, anywhoo that concludes our deal if you look at the map on your phone there it'll show a red circle, in that circle they're hiding somewhere there" I pulled my phone out groaning,
"That's a 20 mile radius they could move out of there whenever they want" she shook her head rolling her eyes,
"Deary, it'll move with her and the puncture isn't me anymore it's 'random guy'" she leaned back into the red diner seats comfortably sipping her coffee,
"That concludes our deal" I stated getting up,
"One more thing" I looked at her, she had her eyes closed obviously enjoying the warmth from the coffee, huh I didn't realize I was making it freezing in here,
"Take this, it's a hex bag I know but it'll stop her from seeing where you are or tracking you" I scoffed, "Yea like I should trust you" her look was stern she pulled out a little purple velvet bag tied with string,
"You should, more then anything. Besides if I tried to kill you I wouldn't use a hex bag, and even if I even considered killing you, your hellhound would've seen it and kill me on the spot" I nodded in agreement,
"If this does what it shouldn't then get ready for a bite in the arse. Specifically from a hellhound" I grabbed the bag and shoved it in my jeans pocket, I walked out of the cafe throwing on the huge jacket I found walking into the woods,
"I wonder if Steve is gonna hurt me" I decided his name is Steve cause saying 'random guy' is annoying.
I closed my eyes taking a deep breath, should I shift into a massive ass guy? Nah the guy will see it as a threat. Maybe I'll just make myself look a little different?
Crack
I snap my head around where the sound emitted from and saw a person standing there.
Oh my fucking god
"Jackson?" I felt my arms silently shift into crystal form ready to attack the son of a bitch,
"Fuck me Black you're alive? I would've thought that they got you!" He took a step forward ready to hug me but I took a step back,
"Hey it's okay to be careful, I saw what happened when our clones attack you, I wanted to help but I knew they would've attacked me as well and at that time I-" he paused sighing, "I was in pretty back shape B, I could barely wipe my own ass" I nodded I knew he was telling the truth but somehow I couldn't trust him something deep down wouldn't let me,
"Where do we stand against this sorceress bitch" I got out of a fighting stance but my muscles were ready to dodge or lunge at any wrong move, and I knew he could sense it,
"She's pretty good but that fancy hex bag you got will be helpful, I know in a smaller radius where she's hiding-" he cut himself off,
"Who's she hiding?"
"Black please help me find me! I need you so bad!" I grabbed the sides of my head,
"She's hiding Riley isn't she?" My brain throbbed from the sudden intrusion,
"Sadly no"
"I just heard her plead for help!"
"Black listen to me" he held my shoulders forcing me to look at him,
"She's the witch okay? But see she did something to her causing her to create another personality but she didn't realize she'd go insane trying to have all the power so she ditched her-"
"Who's she?" He rubbed his temples,
"It's hard to explain she's god sister-"
"The darkness" I felt my tense with the rest of my body,
"Y-Yea how did you know?" I shook my head,
"Its a Long and complicated  story and we don't have time for that. How did you know that Riley was a witch?" He smirked walking behind a tree, I took in what he was wearing, a dark brown battered trench coat, black jeans and a dark brown shirt, huh he just needed a cowboy hat and he would've bee a cowboy
"The same way I knew you were a dream ghost" he walked from behind the tree with a duffle bag,
"And how did you know that?" He smirked giving me a 'duh' look,
"Remember when you ran out of your room in panic at the cabin? You said something about no summoning you, I followed you and saw you shout at these glowing lights, which I now know are high level fucking dream ghosts, I pretended to be too late and not saw you and, by the way that lie was lame as shit like I'm pretty sure there were dung beetles looking for the amount of shit you were spewing" he chuckled chucking me the bag,
"I caught Riley using magic to see where you were when you attacked that diner and yea we saved you by the way, you still haven't said 'thank you jackson for saving me how will I ever repay you'" he mimicked badly a damsel in distressed,
"Huh wow I would've never guessed her as a witch" I stretched my wings suddenly feeling stiff, hmmmm I wonder if I can fly.
I started flapping them slowly and felt the weight lift from my feet so I was a few inches off the ground,
"The shit you can fly?" He put on glasses and looked at my back with a look of approval "noice" he ran up to my and jumped onto my back being careful to avoid my wings, somehow this extra added weight didn't affect how I was flying I kept flying until I was just inline with the tree tops,
"Have you ever flown before?" I shook my head and started propelling myself forward going super fast, Jesus I just wanted to go slow first but I guess not.
I felt jackson digging he nails into my shoulder obviously trying not to fall off so I forced myself to slow with great difficulty and pulled my phone out, I noticed the red circle had gone onto a mountain,
"Hey Jackson," he grunted in reply I felt himself adjust himself so he wasn't slipping anymore,
"Nice to know your alive, they seem to be hiding in the mountain, it's a long shot but even if they haven't gotten to the base we could cut them off at the cave mouth" I pulled a photo up of the mountain and showed him the cave near the middle,
"Sounds good! Oh and do you have food I forgot to have a snack and hunting is hard when I don't eat!" He shouted for some weird reason, I started to descend onto a thick tree branch where I sat him and myself down,
"What are you doing?" I turned my hand into a crystal and a finger popped off growing wings,
"I'm scouting the cave, see if they're in there we'd be in a situation were we don't have the element of surprise, now shush I need to concentrate, I haven't done this much" the finger grew an eye, dam it look real like my green eye.
I closed my eyes and concentrated when I opened them out of my left eye I saw me staring ahead, i looked at the camera thingy and saw myself looking at...Well the camera I guess. I stared ahead again and put my hands in front of me like I was holding a controller, I pushed my hands forward causing the image to zoom then I pulled my hands back causing it to zoom back out, I then tilted my hands forward causing the finger to fly toward almost hitting me but I tilted my hands to the left making it turn left,
"Okay I think I got it" I raised my hands making the finger thingy to float upwards, I could clearly see the terrain around me like as if I was up there but my right eye kept the same Uniate of the trees in front of me,
I tilted my hands forwards making the camera fly forwards towards the mountain I made it ascend towards the mouth of the cave which I almost missed,
"Almost there" I whispered steering towards the cave entrance entering it, I didn't see anything since it was pitch black, dam it would be nice to have-
Suddenly everything turned green and crystal clear,
"Night vision" I continued flying around, until I found a dead end, "She's not in the cave" I turned the camera around I flew around the base of the mountain but she wasn't there,
I put my hands into fists and pulled my phone out of my pocket, the camera stayed hovering near the base,
"Apparently she's at the mountain but I can't find her anywhere!" I put my head in my hands getting frustrated,
"It's a fake wall" that voice again. It sounded like Riley, maybe it was here but it sounded so weak and almost dead. No Riley is dead!
I sat back up and put my hands in front of me again flying back up to the cave mouth and shot for the supposedly dead end, I shot through t and almost got blinded since I was using night vision, lights emitted from around me, the familiar surroundings reminded me of what I lost, it looked exactly like the cabin where I-
No not now black focus!
"She's in the cave there's a false wall" I clapped and single clap and my left eye blurred next thing I know my finger is in Front of me, no eye protruding from the tip, I put my hand out and it install reattached itself from its original place and the wings disappeared,
"Well that was weird" I muttered opening the duffle bag,
"Yea for both of us, you were speaking perfect Greek, I never paid attention only to Latin but I knew enough to know that was greek" I huffed chucking Jackson a packet of chips and an ice tea,
"I was expecting weapons in this bag" I said ignoring about the Greek thing,
"Snacks are ammo for the weapon aka me" he pointed to himself opening the packet of chips and having a huge handle while I just casually ate some kangaroo jerky,
"She's in the cave, there's like a fake wall and she's made everything beyond the fake wall look like the cabin" I heard a chuckle come from Jackson,
"Where it all began, and where it will end" after that statement we sat in silence eating.
