The four of us entered Mom's office together and sat down, I took the seat closest to my Mom's desk as we each glanced frantically at each other waiting for the worst to come. As I looked skeptically around I saw noticeable differences to the room my Mom and I had shared dinner in two weeks previous. Her desk was more cluttered than usual, with far more paperwork than you would expect; even for a headmistress of a school. The trash can was overflowing as though it hadn't been emptied at all during the week. And the frames that held photos of my Parents and I, had began to collect dust as they had been moved from their places on her desk and were now stacked out of the way on a shelf.
'That's odd Mom loves the photos of the three of us, why would she stack them away, something is defiantly not right. If it has an impact on the way my Mom functions then must be really bad.' I thought to myself as I waited for Mom to speak.
I didn't get far in my thoughts of what could be wrong because I was interrupted by Mr. Solomon who had suddenly moved from his seat at the back of the room to be standing next to Mom, just behind her desk. I looked over to Bex, Liz and Macey, who were all sitting extremely still and looking nervously up at Mr. Solomon and my Mom. I looked back to Mr. Solomon and Mom, both were drawn up to the full heights and each had a look of seriousness and concentration on their faces.
'Now girls' Mr. Solomon began, 'we take the safety of each of our students very seriously, and when something occurs that endangers our students, immediate action is always taken.'
'The same principals stand at the Blackthorne institute, as it happens the safety of some students at the institute has teachers at both the institute, and here at the academy very worried' Mom continued
Bex, Liz, Macey and I all looked at each other and then back to Mr. Solomon and Mom, each beginning to understand that there was something bad going on over at Blackthorne, not here at the academy.
'What could be happening at Blackthorne that has everyone so worried… could something have been stolen… had their whereabouts and what they truly were, been discovered… was some sort of cult brainwashing the students….' With every thought I saw my worst nightmare each more scary and insane then the thought before it.
Mom cleared her throat, and she instantly had our full attention again. She looked over to Mr. Solomon and the two exchanged a conversation without words, rather by just using eye contact, nods and expressions to convey this private conversation.
'Now girls, we don't want you to be alarmed, but four students from the Blackthorne institute have been kidnapped and there current whereabouts is unknown.' Mom told us with a grave face.
'You four girls have been called here tonight to assist in the finding of these four students, together you will be sent on a mission, we hope that by sending you on this mission , we will secure the safety of both schools as well as save the four said students.' Mr. Solomon finished for her.
We each looked astounded, scared yet excited all at once. We looked at each other and then at the two teachers who stood before us waiting for information on who we had to save and what we would have to do, but it never came.
'That's all for now girls, you are to pack your belongings tonight, and tomorrow you will return to my office where you will be given full information on your mission, good night girls'
'Sleep well girls, I will see you in the morning' Mr. Solomon said before he left the room leaving us sitting in silence looking up at my Mom.
Together we each got up from our seats and Mom walked us to her door, we began walking down the hall way, now well and truly ready to go to sleep. But Mom called out to us, 'oh and girls' she'd said 'make sure no one finds out about this, we don't want the entire school knowing'. And with that she turned on her heel and re-entered her office.
When we arrived back at our room we each collapsed onto our beds, nobody spoke, nobody said anything, yet we each pondered what tomorrow would bring. After an hour of laying in silence I looked up to see that Liz had fallen asleep on her bed, Bex was laying on her back staring at the ceiling, and Macey was laying on her stomach reading Cosmo.
'Guys, I think we should pack our things' I mumbled, desperately hoping that they would tell me that I had only been dreaming.
'Yeah, your right' Bex agreed.
'Do you think we should wake Liz?' Macey questioned.
'Nah' I said pulling the sheets up over Liz, 'Don't worry; I'll put her stuff into her bag'
We all pulled out our bags and began putting our things into them. Every now and again someone would hold something up and ask if they should pack it, but apart from the occasional words of packing advice we didn't speak. After an hour or so Macey and Bex had both gone to bed and I was left lying awake on my own bed waiting for sleep to come, it took its time but eventually I was overcome by darkness.
