Episode 2

Chapter 2-Brother...

She decided to fall and die, but instead of that her body turned to ash. Everything was pitch black, was there a seventh? I couldn't see anything, I couldn't speak, there's something wrong. I noticed that there were cracks all over the pitch black screen, I was confused. It smashed, then I saw the face of a boy with white hair. "please bring her back! I know you're in there!!" Was he talking to me? i could feel, i could smell, i could touch... "she would never lie to me! Did it work?" that's right! Meradith must have known that I was inside her.

I honestly didn't get it because it's my soul in someone else's body. "hello? wake up!" he was talking to me! I could move a bit. "hello?" i can talk! but how, i was trapped inside nothing for years. "wow 336 years and 122640 days and i'm finally looking at the sky" after watching six girls grow up i realized a lot. "hey can you tell me when my moms are coming back" i forgot... This was aidan Meredith's adopted son, he was found on the road when he was a baby and she took him in and trained him as her own. "Aidan was it, the old lady- i mean your mom isn't going to come back..." my heart dropped when he fell to his knees and started crying.

"she's dead... she's gone.." Aidan was a very troublesome kid, without Meredith he'd go wild and start burning things down. "Aidan..." i said, his aura changed surrounding himself with fire. "moms never coming back is she... SHE LIED!" he cried, it hurt seeing him in such a way. In some ways I felt like I've known him for a long time. "this body" i said looking down at myself, i was a kid. "Hey aidan, i'm not your mom... But i know she was an amazing person, i should know i'm her daughter" now everything i said was bullshit, but i kept wondering if it was true. She was old, but she didn't age so naturally she was destined to have a child.

"how do i know you're not lying... Mom told me she's never had a lover, she's never mentioned you once!" I knew he'd say that, but of course it was a lie. I never mentioned this, but she had an affair with the demon king after locking him away. Im guessing if one of the other six had a child i would have been brought to the world earlier, but it wasn't like i knew. "that's because she didn't want you to worry, because mom was unable to grow i was unable to be brought here" Maybe that's how i came here in the first place, she had me one hundred and eighty years ago when she was twenty one, the age where all the other girls died at.

"so if you're my sister... Mom sacrificed her life for you?" he's going to be mad isn't he, i wouldn't use the word sacrifice because she didn't know i existed (as her child). "I know I'm sorry..." I tried apologizing before he blew my head off, and instead the cold boy hugged me. "why are you sorry? mom said that 'you can't forgive someone without forgetting the past' so you better be grateful" he was so distant with people, and she hid his existence even from her own disciples. "you know what else she said" he looked at me confused. "she said 'if you miss me so much dig me a grave with a letter in there then you could kill me'" it was an inside joke she always said to Aidan, he always laughed hearing it.

"You really are my sister" he jumped joyfully hugging me. I knew sooner or later her disciples were going to sense her ashes here, so we had to leave. "mom had a friend named Calum right? she told me to go to him and tell him who i was" calling her mom was a bit weird, knowing i was one hundred twenty six years older than her. But Calum  was her childhood friend, I wasn't told directly by her but it is something she'd want. "Calum is my uncle, he looked after me while mom was hiding me from danger" I heard loud rustling and heard faded shouting of guards yelling 'find her immediately, make sure she's safe' it was the imperial guards looking for her, she was a valuable person throughout the nations.

"We have to take the shortcut through the forest, they'll suspect us' 'I whispered, dragging him behind the trees. "we can walk past them, they'll think we're just passing by" he's right, but looking at my appearance i'm pretty sure they would pass by. "Aidan you might not look like her but i certainly do" i just noticed, another clue of Meradith being my biological mother is my dark blue hair. "im tweleve im not that dumb, you just need a disguise" im pretty sure looking at me im about ten years old, and im not sure hair dye remover is a thing these days.

"the clothes you're wearing are oversized, mother last wore that. Rip it up into an outfit" the kids not so dumb after all, but isnt it a bit cold to just calmy say rip off the last woren pieces of your mothers belongings. "I'll keep her jacket, maybe her tights." wait... "whats a jacket? tights? isn't that a hoodie and leggings' ' Jacket and tights aren't words in this world, I forgot they have different vocabulary in the five other worlds i've been through. "hey how did you find me?'' I asked. "I followed mom outside deep into the forest, then I saw her fall down and when I went to check if it was you" a straight answer, there were times where I did not focus on her lifestyle. It wasn't only her, I was able to take naps from time to time and it was very relaxing.

"was it lonely? Inside mom, your biological daughter, I assumed it must have been hard" for a ten year old he is good for his language, can you blame him? He did grow up with a scary old lady. "it was lonely, i stayed inside her for about 336 years. What do you think, would you feel lonely" that was a dumb question he asked, of course i felt lonely. "what?! how did you live 336 years when she's 201?" damn he's smart, i'm an idiot i just exposed myself. "oh sorry i said the wrong thing, I mean mom never noticed me." I'm trying really hard to change the subject, he's too young to understand. And his mom is probably trying to kill me, I bet she's just waiting til i slip my tongue so she could cut it off.

"are you done? i can hear their footsteps and there pretty close" pretty close, hah did Meradith teach her son anything. "didn't she teach you any magic?" He's adopted but he is strong. Did she train him at all? "she did, you might be older than me but i know more than you." he's so stubborn, sadly he wouldn't be even if he tried his best. I have knowledge from millions of years in the future, his mother's powers have passed down to me. "that would have been true, if i were not her biological daughter" i was being a little cheeky, he is my older brother.

"and, she never taught you anything. She never taught you so you're weak" he acts like a five year old, such a childish thing to say. "because shes my mother whose powers that's passed on to me, which means older brother i can slice off your legs if you don't watch what you say" i've said more than i should of, so left him speechless and put on the outfit i made, as i chucked my hood over my head. "hah, you think you can surpass me. Show me one of your spells then, and i'll try not to kill you'' impressive, but i've lived 336 years seeing that cold stare.

"your aura is like a little puppy, worthless, useless, defenceless did mother teach you anything" i only joked around, i don't get mad so easily and i was trying to enjoy my first time walking again. "Your stare is... also.. useless..." the poor boy was trembling, was I going too hard on him? "sorry brother, i was just scared" i gave him a big hug, and acted as if i cared. Merdith when I die you're gonna repay me, your son is a pain in the ***. "Your eyes are scary like moms, but they're red. Who's your biological father?" red eyes from that annoying demon that almost killed Meradith, luckily he didn't because he would have found out about me.
