A.k.a. Ciara


No-one's POV

Daniel watched as Cliona rode off into the woods. He questioned if he would ever see her again, if her eyes would still glisten with the forest green that he adored…only time could tell. He ran to catch up with the others as they planned to defeat Rufus once and for all.

Fabian: Okay Cliona mentioned a spell book so maybe we could use that

Mara: Thing is she didn't say where he puts it

Alfie: Well if you were an evil villain, where would you stash you prized book, which could be used both to your advantage and against you?

Jerome: In my lair most likely, but the question is where is his lair?

Everyone guessed at where Rufus' lair would be until Alfie remembered vital information.

Alfie: Wait! When we were looking for Cliona, I remember there was a room that looked really magical….maybe it's in there

Fabian: Okay Alfie, go with Amber and see if you can find the book

With a nod the pair went to search for the book, whilst the others thought of a backup plan. Meanwhile, Cliona rode through the forest picking up speed with every stride.

Cliona's POV
My ankle is killing me; I only told Fabian that I could ride so that he wouldn't treat me like a child. I had to get to Trudy. I had to get to the house and get help, but how would I be able to do all that if I couldn't even step out into the moonlight? I guess I would have to work that out when I got to that point. As I progressed through the forest I got the feeling that this was all too easy, Daniel was able to pick the lock with a bobby pin, we got out of the dungeons without one guard taking any notice, and Daniel got me a horse so that I could get out the castle…none of it made any sense. Suddenly, I heard shouts behind me, I gazed back and saw lots of thugs (and when I say a lot of thugs i mean a LOT of thugs) and I knew that their target was me. I didn't know what to do…I could continue on towards Anubis, but that would put Trudy in danger, or i could change my course...I went with the second option. With a sharp turn left i grazed my bare arm on the rough bark of a tree and hoped to confuse my predators but was unsuccessful, I hoped that I knew where I was going…which I highly doubted.

Alfie's POV
Alfie: okay the room was just around the corner

Amber and I had wandered down many of the hallways looking for the magical room I had discovered earlier in the hour but were unsuccessful however I was certain that we were close.

Amber: there it is!

We ran towards it as if our lives depended on it, well actually it did, the room was large and was quite dark, it was filled with dusty old books that hadn't been touch in years, no make that centuries. Amber and I gazed at the piles of books that sat stacked in the room and began our search.

*** what seemed like a lifetime later***

Amber POV
Alfie and I had searched every inch of this room and couldn't find the book, I sighed and gave up on my search. I placed my head in my hands and stared at the floor when i noticed that there was a loose floorboard.

Amber: Alfie give me a hand with this?

Alfie: sure Ambs

Hidden underneath the floorboards was a worn out book that may have been the answer to our prayers.

Amber: let's get back to the others
