17. Heart of Darkness

It was like being inside a cloud. I was floating, but I was being pulled in two directions.

One arm, bound to Peter, was taking me forwards, but the other arm, which was chained to Bob, was resisting and tugging me back.

I was through the veil but Bob wasn’t. I couldn’t hear him anymore, but I knew by the pulling I could feel that he was flapping his wings, beating them against whatever kept him out. If I yanked on the chain would it kill him? I didn’t know what to do. Relying purely on instinct I asked for magical assistance.

“Goddess protect my crow, Goddess protect my crow, Goddess protect my crow,” I chanted, while trying to connect my mind with his. I slowly drew the chain towards me.

“We are one, we are one, we are one.” I muttered, not having a clue if it helped but desperate to do something.

“One mind,

bound by blood,

bonded as one,

witch and Familiar

together come.”

I made the spell up on the spot but it felt strong.

There was a bang of energy that blasted in both worlds, but instead of the usual bright light there was a black one. It was hard to describe – it was like an exploding star being sucked into a black hole, a whirling vortex of deepest darkness. I thought I was falling, spinning, screaming, clawing, light and dark ripping at me.

And then it was over. I fell on my butt, and Bob fluttered down landing on my chest.

I felt weird and different, but I didn’t care, Bob was through the veil and alive.

“You made it, you’re okay?” I hugged Bob to me until he protested.

“Mistress? What happened to your hair?”

“Huh?” I picked up a strand and looked at it. Instead of being light brown it was now jet black. “Weird! How did that happen?”

Bob shrugged.

I looked around; we were back in the cloud and there were yawning passageways in front of me. One was filled with happiness and light, the other bleak and dark. Peter sat beside me, looking shaken.

“What just happened?” he said.

“I don’t know. I take it that wasn’t normal?”

“No, that was you, you did some magic and I think I passed out. Not easy when you’re dead already.”

“I felt it too, like fainting, only into a nightmare.” I got to my feet and pulled Peter up.

“Yeah, that pretty much describes it. Anyway, you’re here. Are you sure you want to go in there?” He gestured towards the dark passage.

“I have to.”

“Then I’ll come with you.” He sounded scared but resigned.

“No. I need you to stay here. You’re my ticket back to the real world, we can’t put that in jeopardy by losing you in there.”

“Oh, okay.” He looked relieved.

“I’ll see you later. Come on, Bob, we can’t afford to waste any time, we’ve got to find Fletch and quickly.”

I didn’t give myself time to think about it, because the dark passageway was just too darn terrifying, but just strolled right in with my head held high.

The instant we were inside everything changed.
