Chapter Eight

Chronos patiently waited at his desk as he kept his eyes on the buzzer he pressed moments ago, and then on his disaster of a desk piled with thousands of papers and other things, until the handle of his office door unlatched.

"You paged Sir," Amelia's orange hair flipped as her neck turned to make sure she shut the door behind her.

"Aw, yes Miss Sunrise. Thank you for coming, you were faster today than usual. Thank you for not keeping me waiting. Today is not a day to wait." He rubbed his hand back and forth against his brown hair and smiled. "Miss Sunrise, there has been a change in plans."

"What would that be Sir?" She asked clutching her clipboard. She hated the man just a tiny bit more everyday, but she had no choice but to do his work, Theresa, her adoptive mother's life was on the line. She would do anything for the poor lady. Chronos's teeth shined in his big grin almost like a sparkle glitter you see on TV shows and cartoons.

"Plan B, I have all the info I need but the hard way seems more fun doesn't? It will take place, tonight. Your job is to tell the other's asap!" He stood up from his desk and walk to his office door. He took another glance at his desk. "Oh and also, could you tidy up that desk of mine? With all my work on it, it gets so cluttered. Chow!" As the door clicked shut, Amelia dropped her clipboard and screamed with anger. He said such bad things with such a positive and serious attitude. This man was sick with how he treated people. But he didn't care. She knew there was no way of stopping him, except the Triangular Power, which hasn't been reunited, and is still up for grabs.

Thalia pushed down onto her spiral notebook as she quickly did her homework. It was technically the first day of being in here not counting entering after her classes at Cloud Tower. She dropped her pencil and clutched her pixie cut black hair frustrated with her Potionology homework.

It wasn't just the homework question that caused this. It was the fact being trapped in this room. She had to learn all her homework over the computer. It wasn't like being in an actual classroom. In a classroom, she could have gotten away with not doing her homework, by possibly coping, which she sometimes did occasionally due to not being in her classes all the time with the events of last year. Now this year was the same, but they made them learn. Guess there was something that came out of that horrible year.

It wasn't just her, it was everyone. Being under danger was not their cup of tea, was it anybody's though? They may have been used to it, but they all hated it. At least this was better than not being undercover.

Everyone was finished but Thalia. The small study room filled with about five computers and eight desks was empty except for the witch. Everyone else was in the living room area, kitchen or in the couple bed rooms of the hidden place behind a bookshelf. She finally had gotten done with her work a long while after the others.

"So what are we suppose to do?" Thalia asked as she entered the room where all the girls were hanging out. "I mean, just sit around all day doing homework, surfing the web, watching TV that gets boring after a while."

"I agree," Paige said reaching into a bag of chips that she and Tara both shared.

"There's always reading," Cece and Edana both said looking up from their books.

"You know," Tara said, "I don't mind reading, but you two are the only ones I know to be reading when under attack. There should be like an award for that or something."

"There is," Sera said. "It's called that 'Cece and Edana Geek Reward!' Those two were the first to earn it; it was a tie so they both received it. I like reading as well, but I just don't know how you two do it!"

"Can you guys turn the volume down," Cece asked clutching her book. "I'm trying to read."

"Okay everyone," Tara said. "There's no need to make anyone mad."

"Hey, you're the one who started it!" Kat pointed out. "You have no room to talk."

"True, very true." Silence fell in the living place for a few minutes. No one really said anything.

It was seven thirty. Though they couldn't see it, the sun was setting. Colors of orange and purple lit up the sky perfectly as the yellow ball sank its way below the horizon. No one knew that on this beautiful night of early September something terrible was going to happen. Thirty minutes was left and they did not know. Tick, tick, tick.

Short chapter... yes I do realize that. Sorry I haven't written about the new OC's in a while, or the new witches at all. I will get to them/get back to them soon. The new OCs that are already introducted will probably reappear in the next chapter. Don't worry though. I just needed to leave them out for a tiny bit to get where the action comes in place. Witches, I have plans for them, and they should be introduced as soon as possible. Probably in the next three chapters or less.

Lycory, AutumnFire633, and StarsMagic, thanks a bunch for your reviews! What do you think Plan B is? Well, I'll give you a hint, it's bad enough the Amelia is going crazy that he is doing this! :)
