Yeah, this is pretty short, even by my standards, but oh well. I'll try and update pretty soon to make up for it.
"This way!" Evie called and led us through the winding maze of trees. I kept hearing the echoing laughter from my dream.
Why would I dream of this place, just before we came here? It made no sense!
Evie walked into a grove, with short, lush grass and wild flowers. Almost like a sanctuary in a crazy world. The eye of the storm.
One problem, storms are always moving, so if we want stay in the centre, we have to move too.
Freddie collapsed on her back, letting out an exaggerated sigh. "Well, that was fun,"
"That was meant to be sarcastic, right?" Ally asked sitting next to her.
"Duh!"
Lonnie began pacing the clearing, rubbing her arms. Jane sat on a rock and twiddled a flower between her thumb and forefinger. Audrey was huffing and complaining loudly and Evie stood beside me.
"What do we do now?" Audrey demanded.
"I'm not sure," I admitted, "Anyone have any ideas?"
"I have an idea!" Freddie exclaimed dramatically from her place on the ground, "We wish our way out!"
I almost growled at her. "Any other helpful ideas?" I asked.
"Hey!" Freddie yelled at me indignantly, propping herself up on her elbows, "My idea's helpful!"
"And where do you suggest we get the wish from?" Evie deadpanned, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, I don't know," Freddie smirked, "Why not ask Jordan?"
She pulled out a familiar golden lamp and I felt my jaw drop.
"Where did you get that?!" I demanded.
"I found it in Jordan's dorm," she gloated. She then rubbed the lamp and pink smoke puffed out, and then Jordan was standing on the grass looking very annoyed.
"What do you lot want?!" she demanded, "Can't a genie sleep in peace?!"
"Hi, Jordan!" Freddie greeted, "You do realise the entire school was ransacked by some grand evil force while you were asleep, right?"
Evie nudged me. "Way to sum it up," she whispered and I snickered under my breath.
"What?!"
"Long story," I tried to explain, "But in short; We were on the Tourney Fields when the weather turned wretched and we fled into the changing room then after a while we checked the school but everyone was gone and these black vine things were attacking us so we ran away and Evie led us here,"
"Ad let me guess, you want me to help you get out of this mess?"
I opened my mouth, but Freddie interrupted me, "Yup!"
"Fine," Jordan sighed and clapped her hands twice, "Inside the lamp,"
With a puff of smoke we reappeared in Jordan's lamp, which was beautifully decorated. She snapped her fingers and our clothes all changed to suit Jordan's dress code.
"So, nobody else made it out of the school?" Jordan asked, arms crossed.
I tried to reply, but there was a large bang behind us. Everyone turned to look at Freddie.
"What?!" she demanded, "Is it a thing now that every time something goes wrong everyone blames me?!"
I shook my head. "Sorry, Freddie. Let's just check it out,"
We followed Jordan further into her lamp. I heard a scream behind me and I whipped around.
"What was that?" Ally asked shakily.
I did a head count. Jordan, Ally, Lonnie, Jane, Freddie, Audrey… Oh no.
"Has anyone seen Evie?" I asked, voice wavering slightly.
Everyone shook their heads.
Another scream reached our ears. "Mal! Freddie! Help! Someone!"
"Evie!" I gasped and took off in the direction of the sound, the others hot on my heels. I skidded to a halt when I saw what was in the shadows.
Grin as wide as Cheshire Cat's; eyes like slits.
This could not be happening.
Prophetic dreams! Hope you liked that, but please, follow, fave, review, all that stuff.
