The Impossible
Chapter Eight: "1 AM"
"Headmistress Holly! Headmistress Holly!" The girls from the twenty-third dorm banged and hollered outside the Headmistress's dorm. The door next to the headmistress's office flew open and Veranda Lupus stepped outside, dressed in an untied bathrobe with her pajamas underneath.
"Headmistress Holly took the night off girls; I'm subbing in for her." Veranda tied the opened robe closed. "What's the matter?"
"That, that girl from my self defense class came into our room and attacked us! She's one of the people that Ms. Holly and the Red Fountain people were talking about!" Alice yelled aloud.
Veranda gulped. "Girls, come in." Veranda motioned the girls into the teacher's lounge, and locked the door behind her. "What exactly happened when she attacked you?"
"She told us she was just trying to get to know everyone better, so we let her in. But as soon as the door shut, we knew that wasn't what she wanted. She... she used her power and began to choke Aurora; I guess it was only to scare us. We tried to fight her, but she was too strong. Anyway, she said she was only here to tell us that it's our choice if we want to go up against someone even more powerful than she was and if we wanted to back out, we could, and that that would also be the wise choice to make," Lydia explained to Veranda.
"I'm okay though," Aurora's voice croaked. "Just a little bruised around my throat."
"Take a seat girls, I need to make a few phone calls."

It might have been nearly one in the morning, but that did not stop Aran Kili from rounding up all four Red Fountain boys into the ship and bring them to Alfea without disturbing the sleeping students at either high school. Mr. Kili silent directed the boys toward the Alfea teacher's lounge, where he met up with the fairies, Ms. Lupus, and Kenshi.
"I didn't call Ramona, she had a terrible day today and we didn't want to make it worse for her." Veranda said as Aran walked in with the boys.
Kenshi waited for the door to close and lock before he asked the blacksmith teacher, "Where's Headmaster Higgens?"
"He said he was busy. He had so much paperwork and school stuff to do and that he was too tired from that. He's not coming." Aran looked at the boys. "You four can go take a seat if you wish."
The three teachers walked to the other side of the room, and whispers were the only thing the teens could here. With suspicion, Luke asked while he rubbed his eyes, "Why have we been dragged over here at such time?" The girls exchanged looks of who was going to speak, and Avaaria told the story.
"So what now?" Emmett questioned. "We ditch being Protectors and Saviors?"
Dariel shook his head. "No, I don't think that would be wise Emmett. They would only want to try to scare us out of this because they know that we are stronger than them, they just don't want us to think that."
"That's pretty smart actually," Papillion thought out loud. "Good job Dariel!"
"Nah, that's just typical Dariel, he always uses his head like that, and you get used to it." Zack announced resting his head on the arm of couch he was sitting on.
"You do the same thing as well Zack. You have no room to talk." Emmett stated.
"Are you guys always this grumpy?" Lydia asked.
Luke shook his head. "It's one in the morning. What do you expect from us?"
"Just asking."
The three teachers kept whispering, while the teenagers began to doze off in their seats, but they soon came to a conclusion in their discussion and walked back over to the other side of the teacher's lounge. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am aware of the time, but please bare with us," announced the self defense teacher at Alfea.
"We believe we will have to plan an attack on them sooner than we had planned to. Boys, you will be staying here in the teacher's lounge tonight with Kenshi and Mr. Kili, and the girls and I will go sleep in Dorm 23, which is right down the hall. In the morning, we will be up earlier than usual and discuss what is to come." Veranda grabbed her keys as she paused. "Good night gentlemen."
She then led the girls out of the lounge down the hall to their dorm.

Victoria Thron silently waited for the black shadow to make its appearance. She had news to tell Him and she was very excited about it. Not only was the news exciting, but she had never actually met Him before. Only John knows his identity and now Cherry would be the only one that doesn't know.
She heard His footsteps and she stood from her chair, and got down on her two knees as He approached.
"Ms. Thron, I've heard you had some important news and needed to speak to me?" It's voice echoed through the dark shadows of Aversion Land. "You can stand up. There is no need to bow in my presence."
Victoria stood up. "Yes Master, I have some news. News that you would be very interested in.'
"Than speak it, I don't have all day. I have important things to do up 'there.'"
A small smile formed on Victoria's lips. "John Walker is in love."
It's face looked confused. "Ms. Thron, how does that have anything to do with me or this business?"
"It has everything. He has fallen for a fairy, and not just any fairy. The Headmistress of Alfea, a Protector; Ramona Holly is a powerful sign of good, and if he keep seeing her, he is going to turn."
It shook It's head. "Ms. Thron, how do we know he isn't just fooling this girl and seeking out information?"
"I am the witch of nature Master. I may not be able to sense feelings, but trees, flowers, and other plants can. He loves her, and he isn't just trying to get information out of her."
The shadow paused for a minute, thinking silently. "Ms. Thron, John Walker is no longer your boss. You can take his place, and Cherry can take yours. I have your first assignment for these new rankings..."

1:32 AM, 1:33 AM, 1:34 AM
The clock on the nightstand kept flipping as the time changed every minute while Ramona slept in the silent bedroom. The only sound was the sound of her breathing. But wherever there is silence, there is always going to be something to disturb it.
A hand covered Ramona's mouth, and her eyes popped opened quickly. Before she had the chance to even fight Cher Nobyl, vines erupted through the windows, and swallowed her body. All Ramona could see was darkness, until finally she blacked out under the thick plant.
"Good work Victoria!" Cherry congratulated his partner in crime. She bowed, and smiled a mischievous grin.
"Why thank you Cherry. I think that is the nicest thing you have ever said to me!"
"Well I think this is the happiest I have ever seen you. So what's going on anyway?"
"I have been talking to Him, and there's a new part to the master plan now. Now we are..."
It's short, but it's a necessary chapter that leads up to chapter nine, which will be a very exciting chapter. Sorry it took a while to get it up. I haven't had the chance to sit down and write in a while, but summer is here for me now so hopefully I can have a lot more time to get chapters posted. If you have noticed, the cover changed. It's what I have originally planned for this story. The star is the symbol of King Phil, and it has everyone in this story's name on it. Some names got cut off from size so I am really sorry if you can not see your character's name.
Voting on the poll, so far the top suspect for all of you is John Walker. There is still time to vote if you have not all ready because next chapter the identity will be revealed. Happy voting!
