Chapter 4- You’re back.

Vincent opened his eyes after he had heard a roar. He had shot a blast of fire through the beast’s neck. As fast as a hare, he ran to the kitchen where the portal is, well, where the portal was. It had disappeared. Vincent gasped before sliding down the wall, contemplating if he was OK or not. With tears threatening to fall, he got up and frantically searched the house for any signs of the portal. Just then, the demon that he thought he had killed before had gotten up again and was gliding right for him.

‘FLAME!’

Vincent looked in front of him only to find a portal with Mr. Silver standing next to it. The creature looked at Silver with guilty eyes.

‘I told you to leave people who enter these dimensions alone!’ Silver said firmly. Vincent stared in shock. Unfortunately, he didn’t see that Mr. Silver had walked through the portal with the creature behind him. ’Wait!’ Vincent shrieked, but he was too late.

Frustrated, he stormed out the kitchen to the back-garden. Vincent looked around hopelessly, until a small, bright light caught his eye. It looked like a glass shard, but glowing? He went to pick it up. As he stared at it, it grew and swallowed him whole.

The next thing he knew, he was back in the emporium. He got up and turned around to find Mr. Silver peering down at him. ‘So, you disobeyed my instructions,’ he said calmly.

‘I-I am so -s-s-sorry, I d-d-didn’t mean to,’ Vincent whispered as tears trailed down his face. Silver gave him a confused face. ‘Eh, I don’t mind, lots of people ignore me. You are extremely fascinating,’ he stated

‘I am?’ Vincent said confused as he tilted his head.

‘Indeed! You are the only person I’ve met that has magic, ‘Silver whispered excitedly. Dumbfounded, Vincent’s eyes widened.’ How the heck do you know?’ he questioned.

‘Oh, you’ll find out soon enough,’ Silver said with a cynical smile. ‘Very soon,’

As Vincent was walking to the emporium’s exit Silver called out, ‘Oh, and, by the way, sorry If I scared you before, I had just had an argument with…eh, someone! Anyway, come back again tomorrow!’

‘Mhm’ Vincent murmured as he walked down the streets of London, back to the orphanage he lived in. Little did he know a certain cat was following him in the shadows.
