Kylie staggered into the clearing and brushed twigs out of her hair. She looked around and called out as loud as she could. "Trevor?! Where are you? Is something wrong?" She heard a little rustling under her and saw Lyze standing on the ground, waving his wings around frantically. Kylie ran up to him and fell to her knees. "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking to me, Brother?"
"That's because that isn't your brother." A voice said behind her, and Kylie's head whipped around. What she saw made her jump up in surprise. "T-Trevor?" She whispered, her voice shaking. Before her was indeed her brother. He was still taller than her, his platinum blonde hair falling in his eyes like it did before he died. His golden eyes blinked at her and his mouth turned into a small smile. Trevor shook his head sending wisps of his hair to fly in different directions. Kylie didn't even wait for an answer. She ran up to her brother and hugged him tightly, tears falling like rain from her eyes. "I missed you so much!" She cried, and he hugged her tighter. "How did you-I mean, you were the owl?" She stammered.
Trevor smiled and looked down at her, "While I was in the owl form, a demon attacked me and tried to eat my soul. I tried to get away but right before he was gonna kill me, a woman with black hair saved me, and let me take the form of a human body. I'm human now! And that thing-" He pointed to the owl on the ground, is the demon who tried to kill me! The woman forced him into that body when she gave me mine." Lilith?!
"So, you're back? Forever?" She asked but he shook his head. "The woman said i could only have this body tempoarily until she could give me a permament one with some cup thingy."
"The Goblet of Chaos?"
"Yeah, that. She said that that demon was after the cup for evil reasons, and that she was gonna get the cup to help people." Kylie looked at him for a moment and almost couldnt believe it. Lilith? Helping people? I thought she was pure evil?...Well if she saved my brother, then maybe the books were wrong.
"There's only one thing. I will only stay in this body for a few minutes because the one it first belong too is that demon's. If he is killed, then I can have to body for a little while longer. But since I'm not of this world, i can't do much with this body so I was wondering-" He reached behind him and pulled out a long silver stick and handed to it. Upon further inspectation, Kylie realized it was a dagger. "If you could, kill him for me."
Kylie looked hesitantly between her bother and the dagger. "If i kill him....you'll stay?"
"Yes." Kylie looked down at the dagger for a moment solemnly and then walked over to the owl and grabbed it. It struggled against her grip but Kylie rose the dagger in the air and with one swift movement, stabbed the owl in the heart. Blood splattered on her hands and her face and the bird stopped moving. Kylie stared at it for a moment and the turned, "I did it brot-" And she realized no one was behind her.
