Alfred’s pov:
I woke up... again... at home? Superhero posters, annoying alarm clock, PS4, switch... yeah, this is my home. Man, is this what it feels like to have a hang over? Seriously, what happe-
The witch, yeah that’s what happened. I’d do anything to have his lips on mine again. Damn I can’t even remember what happened after that blessing. At least I know want for my next birthday.
Two oddities lie on my desk. Two watches snuggled next two each other. One black one gold both a little broke from the drop. They complemented each other perfectly; they were literally made for each other. I found my self clutching them both close to my chest not wanting to force them apart and lightly kiss the black device. His scent was still attached to the to the object... scent, what am I a dog? I’m disgusting... of course he left he’s probably disgusted too but I can’t help it if I’m smitten. After mopping around for a few minutes I slipped both watches onto my arm, I suppose I wanted to feel at least a little bit connected.
Dragging myself of the bed and onto the top stair I stared down noticing the light of the tv. “Matthew!” I groaned loudly while sliding down the stairs.
Expecting a annoyed reply from Mattie I was surprised to find that is was my mum who responded. She drew me into a huge hug and sobbed into my chest. I’m not surprised, she had always be such a cry baby... at least that’s what dad said. “Mattie’s still at school,”my dad said while walking towards me “Alfred, lets have a talk.”
———————————— — — — - - - - - -
“We heard Alfred!” My mother cried.
“‘Bout what?” I asked oblivious to the intensity of the question.
“You’re soulmate, Alfred, were sorry...” my father apologised... about my soulmate. I don’t know why since my soulmate is perfect.
“My soulmate?” I asked slowly “why?”
That concerned look on their faces worried me. “There are rumours going around, if they are true you are literally putting your life on the line! So please be serious!”
“I am being serious but you haven’t met him and you’re already accusing him, he’s a angel! I believed the rumours, then I met him and... I saw beauty not evil. In fact, he looked scared, frightened, tired he needs help.”
“But Alfr-,” mum started.
“No, you’re right we can’t judge him because we haven’t met him but be careful. Did you even realise you had chased him into the second world?” My dad said while rubbing my mums back.
“No, I didn’t...” the revelation that I had crossed over without Mattie ached my head.
That place I went to didn’t look like the second world. Every time i went with Matthew it seemed magical, almost fairytale-ish. Beautiful... like the witch (I need to learn his name I can’t keep calling a witch, it doesn’t match his amazingness. Them eyebrows though... LOL). Just like the witch I’m in love with that place. I can’t see the creatures that much since I’m not meant to be there but I see colours so pretty that they were never aloud to be put in this world.
“ Mum! Dad! Just a theory but, maybe he can’t control his powers?!” I exclaimed at the revelation.
“Like Mattie?” Mum said concerned.
“It would make sense” dad nodded quietly “what gave you that idea?”
I paused thinking a little than said “I remember reading a little on how to help Mattie a few weeks ago. I found an awesome book on the pros and cons of different powers and it said ‘because they are not powers of our world, Entities find it hard to control them!’ I don’t know what he did but I doubt it’s his fault. I’ll save him, cuz I’m the hero!”
My dad chuckled at this while my mum gave me a worried look. “Hi guys.” And in unison me and my parents leaped in fear.
“That a bit rude... I just said ‘hi’”Matthew mumbled sadly.
“Oh Mattie!” Mum cried “I’m so sorry!”
My dad sighed at this and slowly pulled mum away from Matthew just in case she accidentally strangled him. “Oh yeah! Alfred, Gil and stuff said for you to ‘do what you want’ I think they realised that it’s impossible for them to pry soulmates apart.”
This made me somewhat happy “but I want to mend the friction between them, he looked so hurt when I was with him. Seeing him like that makes my heart ache...”
“I know, we’ll do it together.” He said as he wrapped his arms round me reassuringly.

Arthur’s pov:
Dear diary
I feel somewhat bad, no extremely bad... I can’t believe I left him there! It’s not like I could carry him anyway, he’s very heavy. It’s not like I left him all alone, uni was around so I asked her to look after him until someone came. His brother, Matthew was definitely an entity so I new at least one person would help him. I also know that they have... facilities to help him get out of there if they are stuck.
I’m sorry if I my writing is bad I can’t quite see. I managed to sneak my diary into this room again because it helps me ignore the awful memories. They say that this ‘therapy’ will help but lately... no never mind. Shapes keep forming in the dark and my eyes feel awfully dry. Goosebumps are forming on my body and I’m starting to shiver. I’ve normally look into mirror after the session because my brothers keep saying I look unhealthy and I look like I’m dead. Speaking of my brothers, they’re getting worried. I think they have finally excepted the reality of my situation - one which I’ve attempted to tell them long ago... I’m hopeless. Peter is still latching onto the desperate belief that I could be saved but I think he will realise how wrong he is. The nightmares are killing me and my memories, which are in fact not my own are torturing me. I sometimes ask myself ‘should i end it before it ends me?’
