Chapter 2
Miranda stared at me, eyebrow raised. I continued to stare back, pressing for an answer. She then sighed.
"Fine," she started, " I'll tell you. Nothing much has happened between us, except the fact that he visited me several days ago."
"And?" I questioned.
She continued om, responding "And he had somehow managed to calm me down to the point of being able to have a somewhat-dreamless sleep. It was truly relaxing when he ha-" She stopped, only realizing then what she was about to reveal to me. When she had done so, she placed a hand over her mouth, as if it was a taboo to speak of it.
She glared at me, and I just shrugged at her. Shaking her head, she continued to trot along the road to Brickenskoff.
I grinned. 'So something DID happen then.' I thought.
Man, am I gonna enjoy teasing Miranda and Cyrus about it. And I'm not lying when I say I'm actually gonna enjoy it.
But the teasing will have to wait. Like, a LONG time.
As we traversed the rigid mountain terrain, we had wandered upon a peculiar scene.
Apparently, it is possible for an oasis to form in a mountain. I'm not kidding. There, in the middle of the mountain side that we were at, was a lush green oasis, plants thriving, exotic animals and insects roamed around the area.
Palm trees reigned above a large body of crystal clean water. The palm trees scattered their leaves to cover the area, we all had stopped to look around the oasis.
It was nice sure, but luck hasn't shined on our side for quite some time, so we were keeping an eye out for anything unusual that could end up to be bad for us.
And it turns out, I wasn't wrong about it. The fact that we would be in some kind of trouble, that is.
There we were, relaxing in this oasis, having fun and all, when all of a sudden...
A large horde of Fallen had come through.
Being there and all, relaxing for a while, I truly don't find it amusing when some things barge in and ruin the fun.
Jeez, talk about crashing the party (there was no party to begin with). But, I didn't have the time to just sit on the shore, watching as the Fallen terrorized everything.
So, I got up from that bottom of mine, and rushed to face them head on.
And, with that, started yet another long yet boring fight. Yes, I don't think much of fights, I usually think of them as random walking sparring dummies that I can just do whatever I wanted with them, the fighters that is.
And so, the horde kept on coming, and one by one, kept falling. Second after second, the horde was pushed back into the edge of the oasis.
And soon enough, we started to run into even bigger problems. Like, as in, another problem was pushed right onto us as we finished pushing the horde away, by killing them all off.
After the fact that the horde was finished, as in killed entirely, I turned to Miranda.
"So, is your feeling of us being tailed gone yet?" I panted, a small smirk forming on my face.
She stood and stared at me for a moment. "No." she had to reply. My smirk faded.
"What do you mean? We killed all of the Fallen." I replied.
"Its just..."
"Just what?"
Her eyes widened as she shouted "DUCK!"
I just stared at her for several seconds, when she pushed me to the side.
That is when I saw what she told me to duck from.
I stared at the object as it struck Miranda in the chest. It was a round plate that was thrown sideways so it attached itself onto her chest. It was thrown with such a force, that when it had struck her, it sent her flying into the pond.
Though, instead of sinking, a pottal opened up and she flew towards it.
"Miranda!" I shouted, running towards the pond, hoping to catch her before she flew into the portal.
I tried to save her, but to no avail.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!! LATE UPDATES TAKE TOO LONG!!! I had a hard time with this chapter so I'm gonna tell you all something:
Since I'm too lazy, and this book has that kind of plot (refer to description), I'm gonna shift the P.O.V.'s between the twins.
NEW NEWS!!! The winner is... AveryTheKey! He'll get to make two characters since my favorite is in fact, Cyrus.
Why him, you ask? I enjoy inserting him into scenes which supprises everyone. I also enjoy his slyness. So congrats Avery, and submit by sending me a private message. The answers to the challenge will come out via later update.
Signing out,
