The Phantom of the Serket

by Kiara Violet Piexs

The Alternian Opera House has been taken control by a blue blood. Two new managers come into play and plan to have control, but that's not what will happen. A jade blood is now faced with challenges she thought she never had to have. A young human girl, who helps the new managers, happens to know the jade blood and does everything she can to help her out.

7. Act One Scene 6

Mingling together, the female dancers run to each other on the stage.

"any sign of her?" Jade asks.

"s)(ell, i looked everyw)(ere for her." Meenah says.

"I couldn't find her." Jane says.

"Perhaps Rose is a little . . ." Roxy starts.

"NO SH3 WOULD N3V3R COM3 UP W1TH 4 L13 L1K3 TH4T."

"terezi's right, right now our only hope is that the boys have found her." Jade says.

Footsteps hit the wooden floor of the stage, the girls turn around and see that the boys have returned.

"4NY LUCK?" Terezi sniffs.

"wE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE,"

"but couldn't find her." Rufio says.

"where could she have gone?" Jade says, worryingly.

"WeLl, I DiD My bEsT To lOoK InSiDe tHe mIrRoR In tHe dReSsInG RoOm."

Jade sighs."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOOKED INSIDE THE MIRROR?"

"SoMeThInG LoOkEd sTrAnGe, bUt iT WaS StUcK Or sOmEtHiNg."

"I'm sure she's fine guys." Jake says.

"HOW C4N W3 B3 SUR3 THOUGH?"

"The girl vanished without a trace."

"Gamzee, where was that mirror you saw?" Dirk asks

"In tHe dReSsInG RoOm."

"Care to take us there?" He says.

"FoLlOw mE."

The group of dancers follow the clown troll to the dressing room.

"LET'S LOOK FOR SOME CLUES TO WHERE WE THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE RUN OFF TO."

Jade goes to the table, seeing a picture of Porrim.

"maybe you can give us a hint of where she might be." Jade whispers.

Dirk and Gamzee stand in front of the mirror, both seeing their reflections.

"I Am tElLiNg yOu sOmEtHiNg iS NoT RiGhT AbOuT ThIs mIrRoR."

Dirk carefully looks inside.

"Your right."

"uH, gUYS," Tavros looks at the small crack in between the mirror and the wall.

Karkat walks to the crack and uses his strength to push the mirror open.

"WHAT THE . . ."

"1T SM3LLS HORR1BL3."

"Did she go in there?" Jane asks.

"Not sure, Jane, but I think it's best if we investigate."

Laughing feels the air in the room, it made everyone jump. Karkat turns around, seeing the Zahhak brothers.

"WHAT THE FUCK ZAHHAK?!" Karkat pauses, "ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE EVERYONE A HEARTATTACK?!"

"she's here." Horrus pauses, "you best be on your guard, or she will catch you, with her mind control."

"Stop fooling around, Horrus," Dirk pauses, "we are going to need your help to find . . ."

"D- you are really going in there to find her?"

Aradia stands in the door way.

"th0se wh0 speak 0f what they kn0w, its t00 late, but silence is wise."

Horrus laughs.

"h0rrus zahhak, h0ld y0ur t0ngue!" Aradia pauses, "keep y0ur hands at the level 0f y0ur eyes."

"are you trying to tell me that you happen to know something about her?"

"she will burn y0u with the heat 0f her eyes."

"fine, fine," Horrus gestures to Equius to go with him, "im heading back to work."

Those two leave.

"Well, are we going in there or what?" Roxy whispers."

The sound of the whip hits the ground. Everyone turns to face Aradia.

"what are y0u d0ing up this late?"

"we are trying to find kanaya," Jade pauses, "because rose said that she went missing."

"d0n't w0rry," Aradia pauses, "she will return s00n."

"What did I tell you?" Jake pauses, "She will return soon."

"y0u all sh0uld head h0me and get s0me rest," Aradia pauses, "i am sure that we will have a l0t 0f w0rk t0 d0 t0m0rr0w."

"cOME ON GUYS,"

"Y34H, 1F SH3 DO3SN'T COM3 B4CK TOMORROW," Terezi pauses, "W3 C4N 4LW4YS S34RCH FOR H3R 4G41N."

"TEREZI'S RIGHT, LETS ALL HEAD HOME."

"SoUnDs gReAt."

The dancers make their way out of the room as Aradia stands out of the way. Once the dancers have left the room, the troll goes to the mirror and closes it.

"c0me back s00n, kanaya." Aradia thought to herself.
