how do you know?

"Cut the crap! what the f*ck did you do to them?!" Max asked. "hehe, that's what I'm telling you" she had a huge drin on her face " they've been knocked unconscious by my magic, otherwise, you tell me what other thing could have happened?" Max was taken back. it's true that there was nothing else that could have resulted in them unconscious but still, saying that it was magic.... isn't that a bit ridiculous?

Max changed the question but his tone still the same "who the hell are you?!" "me? I told you, didn't I? I'm the owner of the cave you and your friends came into" "cut the crap! you know what I mean!" max said not afraid of what's going to happen in the least. For the first time that grin was replaced with serious face as she said "it doesn't matter who I am, you'll not remember it anyway" she raised her hand and shouted "erase!" Max was taken back by this attitude of hers. In the next moment his eyelids started to get heavy as he fell on the floor unconscious.

At the evening Max opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings. He was in bedroom—not his bedroom. The door clicks revealing the worried face of Claura. As soon as her eyes lands on Max happiness floods in her eyes and she poured it out. She Claura cry Max felt guilty, he sat upright and said "h-hey why are you crying? "Claura looked at him and said "what do you know? do you know how much worried we were?" Max didn't understood and gave her confused look. She sighed "Anyways, let's get down first. everyone is worried about you" she continues "they are all confused including me about what exactly happened at the cave" Max gets off from his bed and they both head down "you don't remember?" Max looked at her with awe "no, do you?" she looked expectantly in his eyes "of course I do! anyways let's head down first then we can all talk together about it" Claura nods thoughtfully at him

When they get down Max saw Peter sitting on the couch with Jack, Jacob and Ed were sitting on bean bags Seira was settled on a rocking chair. Watching him coming down they all heaved a breath of relief.

We all settled on our seats with me on the love seat with Claura beside me. There was silence and tension in the air making it hard to breathe. "so..." Jacob was the first to broke the silence "we entered the cave and go deep in it then all we remember is waking up and found Max lying in the front.." my heart thumps. They don't remember the girl? the one who claimed to be the owner of the cave " ..and we don't remember how or why we fell unconscious?" Jacob finishes his explanation and everyone nods "wait! Max says he remembered what happened" Claura declares and everyone is looking at me with a awe. "Well.." I rub the back of neck "how can you guys not remember? when we decided to go deep in the cave we saw a girl there who claimed to be the owner of the cave and knocked everyone unconscious" I continue "all fell on the floor except me when I asked her what she did she said that she did magic on you and of course I didn't believe her but when I asked her who she is she said that we're not going to remember anyway and then she goes high up in the sky an incantation gesture with her hand and the last thing I remember is my eyelids getting heavy as I fell on the floor" I say all in one breath and after taht I gasp for air.

Everyone look at me as they don't believe me, but I cant blame them, I mean what I said is indeed crazy—even to me. "I don't know you guys believe me or not but I told you the truth without skiping any details" I declare "Well let's believe that whatever you said is true then why are you not affected? why are we the only ones?" Ed raises a eyebrow at me "I do y know...she mentioned something like how her magic didn't work on me in first attempt..."

In the end everyone sighed and decided go home because everyone was exhausted and there was this magic story of mine. I sigh, to tell you the truth I myself can't belive it—magic and all I mean yeah it's a dream of every child but it's a DREAM! how can that all be real? as I head out of the apartment where Ed and everyone else are staying I start to hear wierd noises in my head 'i need to head home otherwise mom will scold me again' 'she is not picking up my call is she with someone else?' 'oh my exams are coming I need to study' I glance at my right and see a girl who seems to have come from a party or something, behind her is a man in his mid twenties looking at his cell phone tensed. On my left is a high-school student rushing home.

It can't be real can it? I can hear their thoughts! I shake my head but the thoughts are gone as soon as those people are out of sight leaving me alone at the front gate of the apartment. One part of me tells me rush in the apartment and tell others about it bu as soon as I remember their exhausted faces I choose otherwise.

When I reach home no other thoughts come to mind. I open the door somewhat disappointed but as soon as I opened the door, disappointed is replaced with shock. I see grandma and geezer looking at me with a serious expression. "hey guys! what's with that expression?" I ask trying to be as calm as possible. "Did you and your friends encounter someone strange today?" I was a bit taken back. how did these two know about it?

Grandma sighs "have a minute?" I nod as we enter the living room "how do you guys know about it?" I ask immediately after settling on the couch grandma sighs again "look I'm going to tell you something you might not believe but try to pay close attention because it will be the coming future of you and your friends"
