I'm finally back at Spence, and I wonder if he's here too. I need to talk to him, tell him how I feel. I want to-
"Gemma!" Felicity yells, "Are you coming?" "Yes!" I reply, coming back to reality. I start running to catch up with Ann and Fee. "What were you doing?" Ann asked as I caught up to them. "Yes, tell us." Felicity said as I caught my breath. "Just thinking." I said. "You looked nervous, as if something was troubling you." Ann said kicking a pebble into the lake. "I was just thinking if I did the right thing by turning down Simon." a lie.
Fee gave me a penetrating look, as if she were reading my mind. She knew I was lying, but Ann was clueless as always. "Are you su-" Felicity started. "Let's get to the caves." I say walking straight past Fee and Ann into the cover of the woods.
They started to follow and I quickened my step. I did not want to fight with Felicity, not tonight. "I don't know what to expect when we enter the realms tonight." I yelled back to them. They didn't reply. "I said I don't know what to expec-" I say turning around. Their gone. I'm alone. No, I'm not alone, someone's here, I can feel it. "Ok, come on, stop hiding. I know you're here." I said, expecting them to jump out from behind a tree.
Nothing. "Ok, stop kidding around. I won't take you unless you come out!" I yell into the trees. Again, nothing. Oh no, what if it's not them and there is someone else in here with me. What if something happened to them. "Hello?" I ask, my voice shaking. I realize I'm sweating despite the cold weather. A twig snaps behind me and I turn around. "I wondered when I'd see you again." He said as he started laughing. Fowlson.
I turned to run, but there was no where to go. The presence I had felt was the Rakshana, and they had Felicity and Ann. I was shocked still for a moment and Fowlson used it to his advantage. He grabbed me from behind and put his hand over my mouth, trapping the scream I was about to let out. "Don't be afraid precious, we won't hurt you. Unless you disobey." His words were dripping with hatred. I looked at Ann and Felicity. Ann was terrified and Felicity was angry.
I didn't know what to feel as Fowlson put a handkerchief to my mouth. It was different then the last time I couldn't taste anything. I just felt my body feel limp, my eyes closing. The last thing I saw was them taking away Ann and Felicity deeper in the woods.
