Hey guys,

Here is another chapter. However, I just want to say that the song I used DOES NOT and I mean DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. It rightfully belongs to Arrows to Athens and NOT TO ME. Besides it is by far one of my abosulte favorite songs out there besides some from Owl City, Simple Plan, Our Last Night, and Vanessa Carlton.

Anyway back to what I was saying. I don't own this song and the only reason I am using it is that it fits with my story and I don't make any claims on it as I know I couldn't possible write something like that no matter how hard I tried. Besides, "Used To Be" is a song that I believes tells or more explains how everyone has one thing in common, that none of us know what the future will bring whether be it good or bad. We all want to know what life will bring but everyone is walking through life blindfolded to what will happen next. That's why I decided to use this song as life is just like the song says, "there's no way to tell if we will drown tonight, Or we'll be found tonight.".

Now to the story...

CHAPTER #10. ~ The Music Room (Part 1)

"Thoth will be your instructor. Also, these are your fellow students. . ." raising his scepter, hundreds of "spirit" students appeared up randomly.

From what Yui told me afterwards, it was huge surprise and a bit unnerving to see them all pop up out of nowhere, but that's Zeus for you, flashy, arrogant, and highly acceptable to cause you a lot of trouble and no inconvenience to oneself if it is to further on whatever goal or scheme he has in mind. Anyway, back on track.

"There will be an opening ceremony tomorrow afternoon and I expect you all to be there." Thoth said. "That's all for today. You're dismissed. Kusanagi follow me." Thoth ordered before leaving the room with a curious yet obedient Yui in tow.

I don't know the details of what happened during Thoth and Yui's talk as I never bothered to ask. And also wouldn't have asked her anyways knowing Thoth, he probable pinned her to the wall at some point. . . . So back to the story.

Back in Nella's room, Nella started to wake up after having slept for the greater part of the afternoon and evening. Looking around, she saw Anubis curled up and asleep on the rug and knew he must have carried her back to her room.

Having a strong desire to play the piano to get her mind off of what had happened earlier, Nella sneaked out of her room and went to the music room which was unfortunately just next to the boys' dormitories.

Sneaking into the music room, Nella began to play Fur Elise, Mozart's Sonata No. 10 in C, and other classical pieces before she played and softly sang "Used to Be" by Arrows to Athens.

Take a breath; take a long look around
Before you step-
'Cause the tide is coming.
Swallowing the ground-
And there's no way to tell if we will drown tonight,
Or we'll be found tonight.

It was then that Nella heard the door to the music room opening and someone stepped into the room before locking the door behind them. Ignore it, she kept singing and playing. . . .

Come in close; if the current gets us,
Then it gets us both.
And we can't wait here anymore-

Whoever was also in the room with her gasped at what she said before clamping a hand over their mouth to stay quiet. She again ignoring the person and concentrated on continuing playing. . . .

So if the waves come, let 'em take us-
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath-

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
I hope that they won't forget us-
But we cannot go back to the way it used to be.

Take it in; take a good look at
What it might have been.
As we're swept into the water from the shore,
Because there's no way they can tell us that we can't have more-
Because we can have more.

As the waves come, let 'em take us-
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath-

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
I hope that they won't forget us-
No we cannot go back to the way it used to be.

So certain, where it would take us-
So sure that we were never lost;
To notice whether we'll be drowned tonight or found tonight...

So as the waves come, let 'em take us-
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath-
It takes the shape of who will save us.
When it leaves it's hard to know,
But I will not let you go.

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
I hope that they won't forget us-
No we cannot go back to the way it used to be.
I hope that they won't forget us-
No we cannot go back to the way it used to be.

As the last note of the song slowly faded away, Nella raised her hands and placed them in her lap keeping her eyes closed, she said, "You know . . . . it's not nice to gawk at a person." before turning around on the piano bench and upon opening her eyes came face to face with . . . .
