Michael slowly followed, unsure of what exactly she meant by 'His world.' Science always said that alternate dimension and parallel universes may or may not exist so he was pretty sure that maybe there was a chance she was telling the truth but these theories had never really been proven, and whatever spell or trickery she used to travel a mile or so in the matter of a few seconds was proof that something paranormal or magical was happening. "Is there something i should know about being chosen? Am i magical or something because if i am i have never used it before and don't feel magical at all" he tried imaging fire in his palm but nothing appeared, which made his heart sink. "I'm pretty much useless so i don't think i am the chosen one, maybe they got me mixed up with someone" he laughed nervously, hoping that was the situation and hand as he was not prepared for anything like this. "I just want my boring, dull life back. Sure it was depressing but i wasn't being eaten by wolves or on the run." He sighed as he looked around, noticing how the sun bounced off of the snow and lit up Araya, "Thank you by the way... for saving me... the only benefit of all of this was meeting you" he chuckled a little, still hoping this was some sort of trick.

He didn't say a word, he felt guilty for thinking so selfishly about this situation. How was she affected in all of this? he wanted to ask more questions but decided to stay silent, if she wanted him to know she would tell him eventually in her own time. "Well, until today i was fine. This morning i felt this sense of dread all morning, i tried to when i was approached by that... thing. When we started to speak something felt odd, it was like adrenaline, but on a whole new level" he scratched his head as he tried to explain it without sounding insane. "Then there was the alley, when i met you i again had a strange feeling... it was the opposite though, i felt calm and secure yet it was not emotional... it just felt right" he smiled gently and carried on recapping his day, "I got the feeling of dread and adrenaline again so i instantly realized he had found me again so i dragged you to mine. When we were there i still felt him linger, the sense of dread got thicker once they broke down my door." That was the moment Michael realized that there was no returning home, this was it for him now. "Then during the chase i instinctively attacked the wolf, i was able to send it flying into the air somehow... even though it was way heavier than me. I don't understand to be honest, I know have always been physically better than most of the people i know but not strong." He remained silent for a while, thinking about the whole day but couldn't quite forget how upset Araya looked when she muttered about how her life had turned, "I'm sorry, i have been so selfish... you helped me and all I've done is complain, well i'll help you get home somehow"

"What do you mean it will be hard to get to? How do we get to 'your world'?" He wondered to hkm himself for a bot, [b]why would it would be difficult, couldn't get just go back to the place she used to get here in the first place?[/i] "Sure I don mind jumping from shadow to shadow for a while but jus be careful, it's dark and we may end up.in the wrong kind of places. Michael thought back to the first time she made him travel through a shadow, due to the surprise he panicked and ends up feeling I'll but hopefully now he is aware he felt he may be able to handle it. "Do you have a plan?" He asked before leaving, "is there somewhere we can go to hide? Is there a way to your world? Someone from your old that could help us?" He wanted to know if there was any hope left, or if they were stranded against the wolves.

The whole journey was unpleasant, again Michael felt as if he was going to throw up again but was able to calm his stomach in time.
He gave himself a little while to focus on what Araya was saying and then decided to finally speak,
"So are we saying that i am the one you were sent her for? and are we still looking for him? i am really confused now and i really want to go home and sleep" he laughed awkwardly as he looked around for a while, noticing a cafe that was still open and rather quiet.
"The Stonehenge? yer we have a Stonehenge, it's around eighty eight miles from here" after catching his breath he grabbed Araya by the arm and lead her into the cafe.

Once inside he ordered a pot of tea and a few sugars and sat at a table, "They wouldn't dare attack us in public, and we should have time to sit so lets discuss this ok" he smiled a little and then returned to his serious face, "We can't just keep jumping and hoping that we get there can we? we could just get a cab in the morning, find a hotel for tonight and crash there" he checked his wallet in hopes that they had enough for two rooms but realized he only just had enough for the tea. "Never mind, jumping it is. Did you know that Stonehenge isn't considered a henge? because all over henges have their ditches on the inside but only Stonehenge has the ditch on the outside" He realized he was rambling on and decided to silently wait for the tea.

"Yer a cab. A way of getting from one place to another but it costs money" he sighed. He watched as she pulled out a ₤50 note and smiled softly, "That should cover it, that should cover two people... not sure if it would be different rooms though" he scowled and took the money, tucking it away in his back pocket.
After some time the waitress brought him his tea and smiled pleasantly, Michael recognized her and was pretty sure they worked at the same cafe at some point.
"Yer i like tea, it's just something i drink a lot. Not a huge fan of green tea and stuff but can drink it from time to time. I usually drink a lot of coffee to be honest" he laughed a little, slowly drinking. "Well today has been crazy, i can't wait to get some sleep." He downed the rest of his drink and left the money on the table. "lets go."

Wondering around for some time he finally found a decent little motel to stay in. "Two people please" he asked the hotel manager, not sure on what to say.
He handed over the money and was handed a set of keys, wondering around he finally found the door number that matched the keys he slipped them in and the unlocked the door. The room was rather small but tidy, two single beds were placed in the center, dressers either side of them with little lamps sat above them. In front of the beds was a small TV and a couple of tacky paintings, round the corner was a door to the on suite bathroom.
"Guess we should make ourselves comfortable hey?" he said as he threw his bag on the be and pulled out fresh clothing, "I'm going to have a shower, don't get into any trouble ok?" he winked as he disappeared.

Once he returned he slipped on his shirt and looked around, "Well i didn't want to smell after all that running we did ok!" it was a late response but he felt that he needed to explain why he showered so much, "I'm rather self aware is all."
He looked at the TV as it flashed from scene to scene, he observed Araya as she dangled her legs off the bed and then sat on his own bed.
She's rather cute... and this feeling, it was just like when we were in my apartment
He pulled out a pen from his jacket and started to chew on it, flicking it between his lips like it was a cigarette. He developed this habit from young age and it stuck, though he had stopped for a little while until now.

"So, when you find the one, how do you know? There are many men on Earth... isn't there some sort of way to decided on who the MAN is?" he asked, part of him wanted to be this chosen one as it meant he could go with her but part of him didn't believe that he of all people could be this man.
"I mean surely there must be some sign right? a big congrats banner? a bright, holy light?" he watched Araya intently, "It just seems odd that they would send you on a goose chase for someone you don't know anything about without letting you know when you finally find the guys... it doesn't make sense to me is all."

[Deleted]

Rather shocked by the news Michael silently looked at the TV. After an awkward silence all he muttered was, "TV... it's a television, they don't have a director."
What are you talking about?! Ask more questions! what does this all mean?!
"I see. i'm, well what does all this mumbo jumbo mean? so i am chosen, chosen for what?! what do i do now?" he started to panic a little as he chewed on his pen, he didn't quite know what to do here, he wanted to be the chosen one but he didn't want to be responsible for something he had no clue on. After a while he got up and left the room for a bit, standing on the balcony he got a bit of fresh air and took deep breaths as he tried to recollect his thoughts.

Did i really just storm out of there... she has those feelings too. He rested his arms on the balcony railing and planted his head into them completely covering his face, Mynad? Those things have a name as well. He started to get a few flash backs of what happened with the wolf men, but shook them away and sighed.
For some odd reason his mind trailed off back to Araya, and how she looked so naturally calm in this situation.
Why can't i just be as calm as her...

[Deleted]

Michael silently nodded as he too tried to look at the stars, "Sometimes they are hard to see...." he sighed and looked towards Araya, "I'm sorry for how I acted in there. I was being selfish and really inconsiderate again." Taking a deep breath he tried to speak rationally again, "I just don't know what being chose means and what I have to do... and it scares me" he shook his head and stretched whilst walking towards the door.
"I am going to get some sleep, we have a long journey tomorrow" he smiled as he disappeared. Once he reached his bed he slid into the bed and covered his face with the duvet to block out the light.
Can I really fall asleep with all this shit in my mind? he tossed and turned most of the night but eventually falling asleep.

[Deleted]

Michael awoke feeling tired but restless, all night his mind was filled with dark nightmares and most of them he didn't understand. He turned on the shower and stuck his head inside, washing the hair viciously then dried it.
can't be arsed to have a proper shower.... those nightmares. I've had them before.
He shook his head as he put the towel sway and changed clothes, a small locket dropped out of the jeans he had packed.
"These jeans are way old, I have worn these since I was a kid" throwing the tiny jeans in the bin he picked up pendant and put it on, it still fit perfectly. "What we're they doing there?" He sighed s he packed the rest of his things and woke Araya up, "it's time to go" he ushered as he kept his eye on the window.

[Deleted]

He stretched and yawned, scratching his head he didn't really think it through.
"Well the money you gave me can cover the journey there... maybe." He opened the door and pulled out his mobile phone.
"Excuse me can i have a cab at Munn's Motel to Stonehenge please? Yes that is fine" he hung up and hovered by the rails for a bit taking in the fresh air.
"It will take an hour or two since it is an odd play to get a taxi" he said as he fiddled with his pendant for a while.
"Why do we need to go there again? i am still rather unsure why we are going to visit Stonehenge... sightseeing maybe?" he laughed a little in hopes to create a friendlier atmosphere.
The sun seemed to light the distance clearly, no clouds obstructing the rays of light.
"But seriously is there something special about it?"
