9- "I Saw Both..."

Riley's POV

Soon, it's 11:30, and everyone leaves but my parents, and my friends. Shawn and Katy offered to take Auggie home, and put him to bed. He can't know about the whole witch thing, just yet. 

We all head outside, and sit on the grass. 

"So, we just wait here?" I ask, fiddling with my fingers due to my anxiety. 

"Yep. When the moon is above you, you'll either see the dark, or the light. And, don't worry. Knowing you, you'll be light." Maya says, patting my back. 

"I know. I'm just a little scared. Did you feel this way when it happened to you, Maya?" I ask. 

She nods. "Yeah. It is nerve-wracking. But we'll be beside you, no matter what." she smiles. I smile softly back. 

We sit on the grass in silence, waiting for midnight to come. 

"11:58." Mom says. Maya stands up, and grabs my hand. She pulls me up, and leads me to the middle of the grass, a couple meters away from where we just were. 

"It'll be okay, Riles. Nothing bad is going to happen. Love you, Peaches." she hugs me. "I love you, too, Maya." I smile weakly. 

"11:59." Mom announces, causing my stomach to do multiple flips. Maya runs back over to where we were just sitting, and sits next to Farkle. I smile at everyone, then look up at the moon. It's directly over me, and my fate is going to be decided at any second now. 

I see a streak of light beam down from the moon, and I take a deep breath while closing my eyes. My fate, is decided here. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I shoot up, breathing heavily. Where am I? What's happening? 

I'm laying on a cold, hard floor, and there are bars for a door. It looks kind of like my prison cell. I stand up, and head to the door. I look out, and there's nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's my cell, and surrounding it is darkness. 

"I told you that you were going to end up evil." a familiar voice cackles. 

I jump, and turn around to see Terry. 

"I'm not going to be evil." I hiss. 

"Oh, Honey. Look at where you are. You're in prison. There's nothing out there for you, and there never has. It's just darkness." he smirks, shrugging. 

"This isn't it. My fate is not evil. It won't be." I hiss, raising my voice. 

"Then why are you here? Just a mix-up? Well, let me tell you something. Mix-ups don't happen here. Your fate is decided, and that's who you end up being. Lucky for you, I'm still willing to work with you." he says. 

"Never. I'm supposed to be good." My voice is a little louder. 

"Then how come you're here? Face it, Matthews. You're supposed to be evil." 

"I WILL NEVER BE EVIL! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD. GOOD IS MY FATE." I scream at him, shutting my eyes tightly. 

When I open my eyes again, I'm sitting on a couch. Lucas is sitting beside me, smiling. He kisses my forehead, and pulls me closer to him. I smile. 

"Mommy! Mommy! Look what I got you!" I hear a voice from behind us. 

A little girl that looks about five, hands me a rose. I smile. "Thank you." She look like me, dark brown hair, pale skin. But, she has Lucas' eyes. Green and mesmerizing. I guess that she's our child. 

"That's really sweet of you, Bethany." Lucas smiles as he takes the rose from my hands, and puts it behind my ear. 

I want to name my kid Bethany. Bethany Rose. I also want a boy. Skylar James. 

Just then, a boy who looks about 7, comes running in. "This is for you, Mommy." he says, holding out a drawing. I'm guessing that it's our whole family. But, who can tell? He's seven. I smile and take it. "Thank you." 

"It's awesome, Skylar." Lucas says, pulling him into his lap. I put Bethany in my lap, and smile. 

"Happy birthday, my princess." Lucas whispers before pecking me on the lips. "Thank you, my prince." I smile, and rest my head on his shoulder as the kids slowly drift off in our arms. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I shoot up, sweat beading down my face. I look around, and Maya, Lucas, Farkle, and my parents are hovering over me. 

"Riley, are you okay?" Maya asks me. I shake my head. "I saw both." I mumble. "What?" Maya asks, tilting her head. "I saw both light and dark." I say. Her eyes widen, and her mouth gapes open. My parents do the same. 

"What?" I ask, scared. 

"You are both..." Maya whispers. 


Maya's POV


I run back over to Farkle, and rest my head on his shoulder. The moon is above Riley as she takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. The moon beams a light over her, slowly becoming brighter. Soon enough, I have to shield my eyes so they don't hurt. The light suddenly disappears, and Riley is laying on the ground. We all run over to her, and hoover over her. 

A black spark swirls around her, as her skin fades. "No..." I breathe. I shake my head, trying to believe that she will make it right. The spark spins around her, weaving her in a web of lies. It calms down, and disappears. 

Suddenly, a gold spark comes out, and spins around her. It swirls around her multiple times before disappearing. 

She shoots straight up, sweat beating down her face. 

"Riley, are you okay?" I ask, terrified. 

She mumbles something that I can't hear. 

"What?" I ask. 

"I saw both." she breathes. 

"What?" 

"I saw both dark and light." she says. 

My jaw scrapes the floor hard, and my eyes triple in size. 

"What?" she asks scared. 

"You're both..." I trail off, and look at her. One of her eyes is gold, and one is black. 

"You're both good and evil. This isn't good." I say, looking at her. She looks half depressed and scared, and half glad that it's over. 

"What does that mean?" she asks, her voice shaking and cracking. 

"It means that you get to choose." I say, astonished. 

She looks down, terrified. "But, will I always be both?" she asks. 

I nod slowly. "You will always have a bit of the other on in you, but you're decision decides your fate." I explain. 

"I choose-" she starts, but she's cut off. 

"Evil. She chooses evil."
