MYSTICS (Book one of the Mystic series)

I was back in the real world. I could just about hear the birds in the sky. The water flowing past my ear.The leaves as they fall to the ground. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. The sounds ringing in my head went silent. I knew people were talking as I saw their mouths moving. I tried to make it out but I don't think I got it right.

Strike said "Winnie to gay some elm"

Finaly things began to fall into place. I began to hear muffled voices. First, it sounded like static from a television. Then I could separate every voice. I couldn't move still but I knew what they were saying which made me feel a lot safer. Hydra looked down at me and screamed.

She grasped her chest and simultaneously Ash came over and grabbed my hand. a tear rolled down her face. She tried to get me to sit up but I had no control over my body. As if I was paralysed. I could still move my eyes though. I tried to make a simple black hole and surprisingly enough a small one appeared right above my face. It annoyingly pulled out a few eyebrow hairs which stung like mad. I sent it away and the others just stared t me.no comments nothing. Completely lost for words.

Thankfully Ash broke the silence saying "Hmmmm this is quite the predicament"

Hydra burst out laughing. This is the first time she has ever sounded sophisticated. So British.

I had no way to move.No matter how hard I tried I could not do it. I searched for advice from Sye in my head but he refused to help me. I know I have rapid healing but how long will it be until I can talk again; Until I can walk again.

Then there was a scream. Blood-curdling, ear-piercing scream. Not the kind any human could make. I felt it in my chest. It echoed in my mind.A Banshee. I read about them in an old book at the orphanage. If you get too close to their scream it turns your insides to liquid. But I thought they were just a myth. Apparently not.

Hydra said, "I'll go check it out." She crept off into the brush and out of sight. As every second passed I got more and more afraid. What had happened to her. Why was she taking so long?

Out of nowhere, she came running back screaming for us to run. everyone bounced to there feet ad ran for the trees.

They tried to get me up but they were all too weak so Ash said "Goodbye my friend" and they all ran off into the distance hoping to escape. I kept my breathing quiet so as to hear what was happening then I heard a voice.

"Over here we got one. Dunno if she's still alive"

Three men ran over one carrying a body bag. It was full. I kept staring at them as one of them poked me with a stick. He screamed after seeing me staring at him with most evil intent. He pocked me harder this time.

I couldn't move so they picked me up and one of them tossed me over there shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I dangled there as they walked on. I could see the tracks they left behind but my friends will never find me. If I could even dare call them that anymore.
