Chapter 17: Where am I?
The last thing Tera can remember is seeing headlights and a tree and a loud bang. Then everything went completely black.
"Mum, dad, is that you?" Asks Tera as she sees the figures of her parents in her front of her.
She was standing in the middle of a crossroad. Her parents were down one street with a bright light behind them and the other street had a faint figure of Stormy staring at her.
"Sweetie you are in danger, you need to wake up," replies her mother.
"Mum, you can't be here."
"Yes darling waking up, you need to. You and Storm are in grave danger," says her father.
"But you are dead. Mummy, daddy, I miss you so much," as she begins to cry.
"Yes sweetie, we did die but you have to choose to live right now. We miss you and your sister so much. Just remember we love you and will always be watching over you. But for now we need you to wake up and fight with your sister against the evil," says her mother.
"I want to stay with you. I want to spend more time with you both. I can't go back. I can't live without you."
"Darling, you have to choose to live. You have to go back to Stormy. You need to band together and fight the evil," yells her mother as she starts to fade.
I don't want to live. I want to stay with my parents. Why can't they just let me stay with them? Thinks Tera, as she starts to walk towards the bright light and her fading parents.
"Wake up now darling," says her father.
She opens her eyes and wakes up to find herself lying on the side of the road. The road was hard against her back. Her head was pounding and she could taste something metallic in our mouth. She spits and a splutter of fresh blood comes out. She feels her face and feels a 3cm graze along her right cheek. She pulls her hand back and notices heaps of blood trickling down her hand.
How did I get here? Where's Seth? Where's the guy from the middle of the road? My head hurts, it feels like a truck has ran over it. It hurts to breath, my right leg hurts. I need to get help, thinks Tera as she starts to get up but can't.
"Where am I?" she says aloud.
No one responds, she turns her head slightly to the side and notices that there is some guy watching her over on the other side of the road.
"Hey you, help me please?"
The guy looks at her and maliciously laughs. She tries to get herself up again but as she tries to push herself up with her arms she get a sharp pain down her right side and her arms start shaking. She lies there wondering why her body is aching, with her left cheek pressed against the road surface and her arms flat down by her side. She tries to move her right leg but every time she feels an aching pain.
Tera closes her eyes and replays what just happened but all she can remember was seeing the headlight and then a tree. Everything after that was black but she can vaguely remember seeing her mum and dad, who were telling her to wake up that she and Stormy were in danger and that they had to fight evil. Tera opens her eyes and again, turns her head to the other side, cringes through the pain and notices the car's front end slammed into the tree.
"Seth," she screams, as she can't see him.
"Seth Seth Seth," she screams again as she attempts to pull herself up.
This time she pushes through all the pain and gets herself up. She slowly walks over towards the car, hobbling all the way over in agonising pain. Tera looks at the guy over the other side of the road and sees him coming over. She tries to use her power to push him back but it doesn't work. She grabs hold of the back of the car and tries with all her might to push him back. But it still isn't working.
"What do you want?"
"Get away from the car," yells back the guy.
"No leave me alone," yells Tera, as she picks up a piece of wood and chucks it at him. The wood just hits him right in the head.
"You stupid little girl. I will get yours and your sisters power when I kill you both," yells the guy as he retreats back to the other side.
Tera uses the car to keep her self up as she makes her way to the front of the car. The metallic smell of blood mixed with petrol, makes Tera want to be sick but she has to push through and get to Seth; as she makes it near the drivers side, she trips over a ditch and lands flat on her face again.
"Goddamn it," as she tries to get up again.
Tera starts to cry as she pushes herself up again. The pain was starting to get worse every time, Tera tries to push her self up with the aid of the wrecked car.
"Seth, are you in there?" As she grips onto the back door and pulls her self up.
She finally makes it to the driver's side and notices Seth slumped forward over the steering wheel. He has blood seeping out of the side of his face from a massive gash on his forehead.
"Seth can you hear me?" As she tries to open the door.
She gets no response back from him, Tera grabs hold of the door with one hand and with her other hand she checks to see if Seth has a pulse.
Thank god. He has a pulse. He is alive, thinks Tera as she pulls her hand away from him.
She then puts her head as close as she can to his mouth and nose to see if he was breathing or not. He is only lightly breathing, which is a good sign but he needs urgent medical attention.
Tera tries to move Seth out of the car as she begins to smell smoke, but every time she would put her arms around him she would get sharp pains up her body that intensifies with every movement.
"Seth, wake up please," she pleads, as she pulls her hands away from him.
The guy across the road is just starring at her.
"Are you going to help?"
"No because that should be you slowly dying," yells back the guy.
"What are you talking about? Please help him, he doesn't deserve to die."
"Well you should have just died," says the guy.
Tera takes a good look at him; he was wearing all black well it looked like all black. He was wearing combat boots and has a lion heads tattoo on his left forearm.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Jerome," says Jerome.
Tera thinks to herself, Jerome I have to remember that name to tell the police. He has brown hair and wearing all black with combat style boots, with a lions head tattoo on his left forearm.
"Why won't you help?"
"Because I was asked to make sure your parents, and you girls die," announces Jerome.
"By who? Who asked you to kill us?"
"I can't tell you that. Just know that I will kill you both and your powers will be the covens."
Tera looks at him and backs away from the car. She tries to make a fireball in her hand but it doesn't work, she was to weak from the accident.
I am not ready to die yet, was this what my parents warned me off the danger imminent for Stormy and I? They were murdered and now their murder wants to kill us. What's this about the coven will have our powers, thinks Tera as she eyes him down.
"Silly girl, your powers are dampened by the elm tree ash," says Jerome, as he makes a fireball and gets ready to aim it at her.
Tera looks at him with fear in her eyes and tries to figure out a way to save Seth without that guy killing her and him at the same time. If her powers are dampened, she won't be able to use them to bring him back to life.
"Can't you just get him out of the car?" As she holds on to the elm tree.
"No you stupid little girl."
"Please he can't die like this," she cries
"You are going to watch him die and then I am going to kill you."
Tera looks at him and starts to remember what happened before everything went black. She remembers Seth speeding down the hill and her seeing a man in the middle of the road with the same clothing as Jerome has on. Then she grabbed the wheel and then headlights of an oncoming car. Seth then swerved the car out of the way of the on coming car but they must of hit the tree head on.
"He didn't cause me to nearly die. You did," announces Tera.
"Me the cause of an accident?"
"Yes, we swerved to miss you. And hit into the tree. Its all your fault," Screams Tera.
"You don't know what you are talking about."
"Yes I do!" Exclaims Tera.
"Shut your mouth you stupid little girl," says Jerome.
"No you caused the accident and I will be telling the police about it."
"You wont be telling the police anything. Once I'm finished with you," states Jerome as he starts to walk over to her.
She starts to freak out that he is coming towards her; her heart starts to race and she is having troubling breathing. She notices a pair of headlights coming over the hill. She hobbles to the side of the road and cries in pain. The headlights were coming towards her quite quickly. She chucks her hands in the air to try and flag them down. Jerome was now in the middle of the road; once he sees the headlights coming he disappears into the woods on the other side of the road.
"Help!" Screams Tera towards the car coming towards her.
She starts to wave her arms more frantically but with every wave of her arms the pain intensifies and is getting unbearable. She can see that the car was coming towards her and that they would stop because who doesn't stop when you see an accident on the road. Tera looks straight into the headlights and feels her body go weak. She feels her body double over and go down with a thump on to the hard warm road.
