章節 59: Chapter 58
New York City…
Ethera's pov;
After the usual process of leaving my body to Avery , I expect to be in the dark corner of my head in my subconscious as I open my eyes,
But this time something feels different , something is unusual.
I can feel myself in a body, as absurd as that sounds , I don't know how to explain it but I don't feel abstract at the moment.
It doesn't feel like I disappeared as usual.
I open my eyes and I am immediately think I am hallucinating.
How do I say this? I am in a room , seems modern just like the ones Avery likes to talk about.
I walk towards this big transparent window across from me and wow , the view , the vehicles.
I never saw such things .
I see very tall buildings made of glass I suppose and other never seen objects before all over the roads and allys .
It is dark outside, except for the beautiful lights scattered all around the town . They seem to extend quite far actually. Incredible but-
Where am I?
This has never happened before , usually I just disappear for a while and come back to my body once Avery is out , so if she has my body and I am not in it somehow then whose-
I turn around and notice the mirror behind me just now, the face in front of me is that of Avery , I could recognize this face anywhere . The face of my temporary other half.
But how? I gasp not believing what my eyes are seeing.
I am in Avery's body? We actually switched for real this time. How? How can this happen suddenly? What changed?
Do our amulets have a problem?
I should try asking Avery and inform her of our current situation.
I can not stay here . This is Avery's body and if I stay I have to live her life of which I know very little of it's ins and outs.
Okay "I need to talk to Avery right now" I say into the amulet.
A few seconds later I hear her voice but before she speaks I interrupt her with my explanation full of panic.
"Avery we have a very serious situation happening right now! I am in your body! Like literally in your body! I think we accidentally switched for real of the amulets have a problem because this is not supposed to happen. What are we going to do now? What am I going to do? I can't be here , I don't know how to be you!" I breath out after rushing all of that information out of my mouth.
This is really a lot to handle for one person.
"Okay let's start by calming down. Let me get this straight , you are in my body right now for some weird reason and we know it is not supposed to happen because the bond wasn't created like that originally- wait that's it" she says as if understanding what is going on, well I hope she does because we have to fix this.
"What?"
"Remember when I told you that my cousin stole my first amulet and that she be traveling to Alba back and forth?"
"I do but how does that have to do with this?" I ask
"Well if the bond was initially created for two people to exchange souls but for the other to keep existing in the subconscious and then suddenly a third party adds themselves in the equation it means there will be a stretch and hence a leak , this is the leak I guess . Now that there is a third party the amulets force us to be in a secure body . I think it works like a defense mechanism" Wow that actually makes sense but this means bad news for us as well.
"What do we do now? Is this temporary or permanent?" I ask worriedly trying to find a solution out of this.
"You don't worry that much , I am going to send Heizel to your grandma Anne so that she can give us the answers to these questions. For now I guess you will have to adapt to my life until we figure this out . I will tell you everything you need to know so you don't have to stress . Just be me like I am you sometimes-" the other side becomes inaudible suddenly. Oh oh.
"Hello? Avery?" I call out and no one answers. What is wrong? Is the link dead now too?
What do I do now without her? I don't know anything about the future or how things work , this is going to be very bad.
Heavens save me.
The next morning…
I have been awake for some time now , actually I didn't sleep one bit last night.
I mean how could I possibly sleep when I am trapped in a world full of new technologies I don't know and people I am unfamiliar with.
I don't know for how long this will last but I am scared I will not last long and if I make a mistake I create problems for Avery and that is the last thing I want to do.
She has been taking my place a lot and adjusting to my life , morals and entourage.
I guess now I have to try and do the same.
It can't be that hard , right?
Just be Avery. Easy.
"Yo Avery! Are you coming or what? School starts in a bit and once again I won't bribe Gary for you so bring your ass here" That is a female voice , it must be Sheila . Avery's roommate and best friend,
Oh I just remembered she knows about me now so maybe she can help me adjust to this life.
That is of course if I don't scare her with this whole different soul in her friend's body concept.
At least I can try.
I get out of Avery's room and look around to try locating the living area where I heard the voice from.
I walk a little on the left and take a turn then see a big table that is raised , made of marble connecting to the rest of what I think is the kitchen.
Interesting interior design.
"I'm Avery? Are you there? Come back to earth , you are spacing out again" Sheila says appearing in front of me without my notice.
I stare at her trying to see what she looks like and trying to get accustomed to her.
It's my first time meeting her so I have to be familiar with the girl I will be spending I don't know how much time with.
"It's nice to finally meet you Sheila. I am Ethera , I think Avery told you about me already" I say smiling as I do I courtesy bow I do to everyone I meet.
She backs up a bit and distanced herself from me.
"Avery do not joke around with me about that stuff , you know how freaked out I was last time you told me" she laugh , I guess she is not taking this seriously.
"I am serious Sheila . Avery and I have a temporary problem where as I am stuck in her body while she is in mine . I have no idea how this happened and I am so sorry to inconvenience you but it is happening and I need your help or else I will not be able to survive in her life" I say desperately trying to make her understand the gravity of the situation I am in . I need her help.
"Wait- you are being serious?" I nod and she gasps sitting on a chair and I sit on the one opposite from her.
"Okay okay . Don't panic , you got this" she keeps repeating to herself.
"I'm not going to harm you don't be scared . I am totally inoffensive , I wouldn't hurt a fly" I say sincerely.
She looks at me and nods , "Okay , I guess since I know of all this crazy story I might as well lend a hand. I owe it to my friend at least" I sigh in relief at her agreement.
"Okay but how did this happen? I thought y'all could only exchange when Avery goes to bed and you never take over her body. Is the magical spell or whatever is binding you both broken?" She ask.
"We don't know honestly , we are as confused as you-"
*Door bell rings.
"What is that?" I ask Sheila , it is the first time I hear such a sound coming from a door.
"I'll explain later , right now I need you to go along with whatever I say to that person.
She says and looks to be in panic.
"Who is that" I ask.
She sighs "Someone very special to Avery , he is called Eric . If I knew you would get into this mess I would have stopped him from coming so that you can have more time to learn about him.
We don't have time so just stay there I will try to tell him off and if I can't we will improvise "
I nod understanding the situation.
Avery once told me of an Eric . A guy she said was her friend but I always had a feeling he was more than that to her.
Sheila opens the door and before she evens utters a word , the guy I expect to be Eric walks up to me and hugs me tightly.
He then whispers "I am so sorry. We shouldn't be like this and I shouldn't have acted the way I did yesterday with Lore , it was immature , dumb and just not me"
I look at Sheila confused , what do I do?
She gestures for me to just hug him back and so I do just that .
This one is for you Avery.
