chapter 4
Since yesterday I decided to go on a search for Ashley. She was the reason I felt down and sad. She was the one who gave me those lost feelings. It felt like an icing wind that was slicing through me, I was waiting for the sun that would warmly embrace, which may never come again. by now, I knew I had to do something. I couldn't let that girl get my boyfriend! I wouldn't let him get taken away from me without a fight. I didn't care what would happen to me, as long as he's free from the spell. He had to be spelled! Only thing was, I had no idea how to prove it.
3 days had past since I last saw him. Those days were like hell. I couldn't stop thinking about Sky. I tried my best not to think about him, but nothing worked. My friends were even more worried. They were talking to me, trying to cheer me up, but my thoughts were too far away fro them to reach. A day ago I even got the idea to commit suicide. But I completely ignored it. I tried to soothe myself by thinking: "Who else will save him?"
I knew that, if this would carry on, it would get too heavy, so in the end, I might have done it anyway… I was in my room, trying to catch some sleep. Flora wasn't sleeping as well. She sat right up in her bed and asked: "So… How have you been?" Wrong question Flora!
I didn't reply. Trying to make me look asleep.
"I know you're awake, sweety. You have to talk about it, else it'll get worse."
I wanted to say "I know" but as hard as I tried, my lips didn't want to move and for the sentence.
"Guess you aren't awake after all. Goodnight."
I wished her a nice sleep too and tried to get a hold of mine. How hard I even tried, it flew further and further away.
The next morning I got up really early. The whole school was still sleeping. On my bare feet I walked to the garden. I don't know why, I just felt like going to it. I made my first step on the wet grass. It felt cold but nice. It was like it cooled down my sorrow. And together with my sorrow, so did my anger. Those two feelings were always together. I don't know how long I stayed there. I left when I noticed that my feet were turning blue. So, it must have been pretty long. After I got in, I took a warm shower. I hope it could wash everything away. Too bad that it doesn't work like that. I just stood there with my head up and eyes closed. Time passed by. Minutes crawled slowly away. I didn't say or did anything just standing, but I had one thing in mind. I now was determined to stop Ashley and save Sky. I was sure she had done something and I would let her pay. I would do anything even run away. Whatever it would take me. I stepped out of the shower and dried myself. It was 5 AM, I noticed that when I looked at the watch. Nobody would wake up the upcoming hour, so I had time to stake some stuff with me. Yeah, I was about to start my search for Ashley. After I packed stuff in my backpack, I left a note for the girls. I told them not go searching for me, but I was sure they would. Anyway, I left. I thought about the first time I saw her. That was in Magix. There were no busses at this time so I walked through the forest. It would take some time, but I didn't care. I think I walked for an hour, maybe more, maybe less. Until I finally reached the Lake Fortress of Light. It was a mysterious lake where once my older sister daphne lived, deep at the bottom in a cave. It was quite foggy and the mist was low. It was just like the fog was dacning on the soft water that didn't change of form. It's a mysterious lake and at the bottom in a cave, my older sister, daphne, once lived.
It took me a long time to reach magix, but I finally arrived there. I was pretty hungry, I must admit, but food didn't had that much taste anymore. Actually it had taste, but it never reached my senses. I knew I had to move on. The girls aren't stupid and they would searh for me in Magix for sure. I went back to the alley where I found out that she's a liar. Nobody was there. I decided to head back to the square where I first saw Sky and her together. Nothing as well. I was kind of starting to lose hope. I had no idea where to continue further. Meanwhile I sat on the edge of the fountain there. Suddenly I automatically jumped off it. I spotted her. the girl I've been looking for. Ashley…
