Chapter 28
By now it is eleven o'clock and they have exactly an hour left to get back to their world, before they are stuck in this world forever.
"Come on, we need to go now, before it's too late", Chad says, literally pushing them out of the hotel lobby and onto the streets.
They head to the cars as fast as possible and drive to the place the receptionist recommended.
"Wow, this is beautiful", Luna says stunned, when she sees the place in front of her.
It is a beautiful clearing with a little lake to the right of it. The clearing itself is filled with little flowers, blossoming beautifully. The lake is glistening from the light of the full moon, making the clearing light up, with a romantic feeling filling the air. It all looks so dreamy, just like you imagine to see in a fairy tale.
Michael smiles at Luna's statement. 'She is right, it does look beautiful. And Luna is beautiful too, the way her hair is glistening in the light of the moon and her eyes are like diamonds', Michael thinks, looking at her beauty, as if he cannot believe that she is really there with him.
Suddenly herealizes thatLunais looking at him. He quickly turns his gaze away from her, in case he might be blushing. But after a quick minute he turns back towards her. She is still looking at him, smiling warmly, her eyes sparkling like stars. Michael cannot help but look into these beautiful eyes.
Luna then takes out the book from her bag. "Okay, now I need all the ingredients", she announces and some of her friends step forward, handing her the ingredients they had provided.
Luna starts to mix the ingredients, according to the instructions in the book, in a large bowl they had asked for back at the hotel. The receptionist had looked a little sceptic as to why they wanted a bowl, but decided to give up asking after a few minutes and disappeared, just to reappear with a bowl a few seconds later.
"Okay everyone, step away", Michael announces, once Luna has put the last ingredient in and mixed through it all again once thoroughly.
He then takes Luna's hand as she is stepping away from the bowl herself, the book clutched tight in her other hand. She smiles at him.
"Should we do it together?" she asks him, smiling warmly as she looks into his eyes. He nods, smiling back, and she opens the book again. Michael peaks over her shoulder to look at the saying they both need to read out in a minute in order for the portal to open.
"Wow... ehh, not sure my Latin is good enough for that", Michael laughs, looking a little uneasy.
"Don't worry. We need to repeat it in English afterwards anyway", Luna answers, laughing too and then points to the translation of the Latin text into English at the bottom of the page.
"Ready?" Michael nods and everyone else is quiet, waiting for Luna and Michael to open the portal so they can go home.
"Hoc arbitrio intrare porta commando. Aperi nobis et nos per ipsum! With this saying we ask to enter the portal. Open up and let us through" Michael and Luna say in sync.
Suddenly a lightning bolt appears out of the sky, hitting the bowl. It is a bright light, brighter than any light they have seen before. Seconds later it bounces off, leaving a portal, like a gateway, in the middle of the field.
"Are you sure it is safe to enter?" Chad asks, looking a little worried as he turns towards Luna.
"Only one way to find out I guess", Michael answers, trying not to show any sign of fear. He quickly glances over to Luna for reassurance. She is smiling at him warmly and nods her head in response.
"Okay then, everybody grab someone else's hand", Michael orders, grabbing, Luna's left hand, before anyone else has the chance to.
Once everyone is holding someone's hand and they have formed a big row of people, they carefully take steps towards the portal.
As soon as they are right in front of the portal, it starts to close around them, forming a kind of bubble.
The field they were standing on seconds ago, is now slowly disappearing, vanishing, leaving merely the memory of the place in the minds of the group members.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Let me know what you think :)
