Chapter 14

It's time, no going back now.

I ran down the stairs and out the door. “Wait Kaji!” Jay screamed after me. I just kept running, barely breathing. I had to get to whoever this dark figure was, and fast. A vision blurred my vision, of a tree. Such a strange tree, two trees actually. The two trees were interlocked together in beautiful swirls with a gaping space between it.  I stopped in my tracks blinking. “Kaji,” Jay’s heavy breath was behind me. “What on Earth is going on?” he sounded somewhat angry that I had ran off the way I did.

“Follow me…”

I saw the figure again and ran after it. I could hear the blood pounding in my ears, and my legs began to tire.

 “Slow down,” I whined.

“No time…”

“No time for what?” I yelled.

“We are here.”

Standing in front of me, were those two tries a light brightly shining in the middle. Carved into it were desperate souls to be set free. Two of whom I recognized from my visions I have had.

“Romeo Montague, and Juliet Capulet,” I gasped touching the tree ever so gently.

“Come in…”

I looked up to see a hand out to take mine from in the middle of the trees.

“What is this?” I felt as if I was suffocating.

“The path to your destiny,” the strange voice answered.

“No Kaji! Don’t go in,” Jay was behind me grabbing my shoulders and pulling me away. “Why?” I was curious of why he was so against it. “It’s a trap,” he was taking deep breaths. “Kaji,” the voice was familiar. I looked up to see Mizu’s beautiful- not mangled damaged face in the bright light. His blue eyes growing brightly, with something I didn't quite understand in them. “Mizu,” I whispered tears welling up in my eyes.

“I’m here.”
