Hi :{) ,

Here is the third chapter of Jessica's choice! Hope you all like it :D Like I promised, it is longer than the last chapter.

Yin-yang girl12 - I hope you like what I did with your OC. Thanks for submitting her and a nice review :)

Other OCs will appear in chapters 4-5. Yes, at this point I am still accepting OCs. Btw, like I said in the last chapter, my birthday is the 15th, and reviews make nice presents! Anyway enjoy the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Wizard101, Kingsisle does. All I own is Jessica and Emma. OCs belong to the people who submitted them.

Emma and Jessica crouched behind the low stone wall next to the doors that led back to the Commons. "So, how are we supposed to get past the guards?" Emma hissed. "Or did you not think of that as part of your brilliant plan?" Jessica rolled her eyes. "Well, actually I figured if what we did was completely improvised, it could not completely fail."

"So we're going with whatever works, then?" came a voice from behind them.

***********Jessica's POV***********

Emma jumped at the voice from behind us. I turned around, and saw a girl crouching in the tunnel entrance. Her silvery hair was streaked with purple highlights, and she was watching us curiously with blue-green eyes. "What are you doing here?" I asked suspiciously. She rolled her eyes. "The same thing as you two. Trying to find out what's really going on. Or are you telling me you actually believed Sunken City is closed because of communications?" Emma glared at her. "No, we didn't! And we don't need anyone's help, especially from someone that we don't even know their name!" The girl laughed. "I'm level 63, so permit me to say I think you do need my help. And I'm Scarlet, Scarlet Silverhunter." Emma and I looked at each other, then I said, "Alright. What's your plan for getting past the guards?" She smiled "Easy, my seadragon Princess Riley will distract them and we will sneak in." Emma nodded. "Sounds like a plan." Scarlet whispered something to her seadragon who promptly propelled herself out in front of the guards, pushing along with her flippers. One if the guards spotted her and yelled, "Hey! There's a seadragon in here, we gotta catch it!" Then all the guards, being quite stupid, all ran out and jumped for Princess Riley at the same time. They tripped over each other's feet, and the resulting chaos went something like this:

Guard 1: Get off me, Muldoon!

Guard 2: Get your butt outta my face!

Guard 3: Get your face outta my butt!

Guard 4: Where'd the seadragon go?!"

Princess Riley: **noise that sounds suspiciously like laughter**

Guard 2: Get it!

Guard 1: Trips over Guard 4

Guard 4: Oomph!

Guard 3: I got it! Ouch! **lets go off Princess Riley** That damn thing bit me!

Guard 2: Where did it go?

Guard 1: Behind the Death Tower!

And so on...(XD)

********Back to Jessica's POV********

Meanwhile, Emma, Scarlet and I had slipped out of their hiding place, and snuck in the tunnel leading to Sunken City. "Wow depressing." I said when I first saw the dark street. "Yea," Emma agreed. Scarlet looked around. "I've been here before, and it looked like this then too. We haven't found the trouble yet." Well, aren't you cheerful?" I muttered. Ghosts and Rotten Fodders roamed the streets, but Scarlet was right; considering this was the darkest street in Wizard City, nothing seemed worse than it should be. "Should we continue down the street?" Emma asked. "Yes, but I want to wait for Princess Riley to return." Scarlet replied. I reached for my wand nervously. I had a feeling we should hurry up and find what we're looking for. Luckily, Princess Riley came back quickly, so we could proceed down the street.

*******Headmaster Ambrose********

Headmaster Ambrose sat at his desk, sifting through a stack of papers. "Ah, Gamma, where did I put that form?" Suddenly a guard burst into his office. "Headmaster Ambrose!" Merle looked up from his papers. "Why, what is it Sergeant Muldoon?" The guard panted heavily clutching his side. "We found a Seadragon in Nightside sir. We failed to catch it; but when we returned to our posts...there were footprints leading into Sunken City." The Headmaster's face grew ashen. "It appears the threat of expulsion has not been enough to stop our students...I just hope it's not too late...Sergeant Muldoon! Take 5 other guards with you, and rescue the students!" The sergeant nodded. "Right away, Headmaster." The form forgotten, Merle leaned his head wearily against his hand. "By Bartleby...what have I done?"

***********Jessica's POV***********

As we went further into Sunken City, the ghosts changed to banshees screaming through the streets. I winced. "Must they be so loud?" Emma and Scarlet laughed. Emma said, "Probably they're screaming cause they saw us and they think we'll kill them." I smirked. "Not today, loud banshees! We are too bored to bother killing things as obnoxious as you!" Emma laughed again. Scarlet smirked but said "Might be better to walk quietly. This is an illegal stroll, and we are possibly being watched by enemies." That quieted us down a little. Finally, Emma said, "What do you think we'll find?" Scarlet shook her head. "I don't know. But it must be something terrible, if it caused all those streets to close." I opened my mouth to say something when I saw something that made me pause. "Hey guys, there's Grubbs tower!" Scarlet looked where I was pointing. "Excellent." She grinned. "Let's go." We ran down the street to the entrance of Grubb's tower. "Either of your ever fought Grubb?" Scarlet asked. She raised her eyebrows when we said no, but continued. "Well, I have and he's easy. If we're looking for answers, his tower is the place to go though." I smiled. "Let's do this!" Scarlet entered the sigil, followed by me and Emma. As the timer counted down, I couldn't help but wonder what we would find in there. Still, despite any doubts we had, as the sigil reached one second, I knew we were all determined to discover the truth, no matter what the cost.

Author's Note: So, what dangers will they face in Grubb's Tower? Why did so many streets get closed off? And why on earth does Ambrose think it's his fault? See ya guys next chapter ;)
