Chapter 21
I can see her from the shadows but she isn't aware of my presence… she's seen me in her dreams. I even touched her. If it wasn't for me she would be captured by the bloody Silia and Mrs Mors. The twit. Boy do I despise her with a passion. She's the main reason I'm stuck like this, forever till time ends. At least I'm pretty! But for what price tag? The fact that I can't comfort my daughter as she grows? That I can't be with my loving EX husband. Granted I'm happy he's moved on. Since the holiday in Wales I wouldn't blame the guy. But if what happened, didn't happen, my daughter wouldn't be the special girl she is, she wouldn't have those brilliant friends of hers. Either way, I will be coming from my shadowed prison and when I do, Silia, Mors-ie, you better watch out. Cuz' I'm coming for ya very soon.
'So where exactly are we going?' asked Stephen glaring at the leading girl in front with chocolate eyes. They had found a way out to the surface and where behind buildings and in alleyways in broad day light.
'To a little book shop. Where are the people today? Even on holidays I've never remembered Heatherfield to be this empty.' The brunette looked around her at the empty streets.
'Yeh… maybe there's a concert goin on or something' Stephen pointed out trailing behind.
'Sure' replied Irma turning around and stopping in front of him.
'Why are we stopping?' he asked.
'We're here.' Irma pointed up the sign above her head that read, 'Ye Olde Book Shop'.
'Ok let's go in.' Stephen pushed past his girlfriend and pushed open the door which was on the latch.
'This is kinda scary…' Stephen whispered hunched over, looking onto the dark book shop which had books thrown everywhere, cobwebs and broken glass on the floor.
'Seriously, you think this is scary WAREwolf?' Irma sarcastically said stood straight behind him.
'Good point.' He looked back as he straightened up and casually walked into the shop.
'I'll look at the back do you want to take downstairs?' muttered Stephen holding Irma's wrist.
'Sure like there's anywhere else' Irma said taking back her wrist and patting Stephen on the back before he walked to the back of the shop.
Irma found the basement door on the floor and the basement dark. Even though the place was dark, she saw books on the floor again. She switched on the light, which just flickered on and off as she took cautious steps down the stairs.
'Guys? Will? HayHay? Tara?' she yelled looking around. Even the sofa's down there where ripped and shredded.
'Corny?' Guys are you her…' she yelled gain before noticing a note on the floor. But when she picked it up Stephen came down the stairs and spoke.
'Well there's no one up there I think Lora needs to work on her ghost telepathic messaging service… Whats that?'
Well, Well lucky escape Water guardian! Your friends put up a bit of a fight, your so called queen and her friends did so too. But that Matt person 'Will no Will!' get a grip! Ahaha! Swing by the woods, find the meadow and if you beat the family army you'll have your friends back. But hurry… I'm hungry for their power, I have the heart of Kandracar now.
With love,
Prof Silia and Mrs Mors.
Irma read the letter unaware of Stephen.
'Irma?! What does it say.' Stephen waited at the base of the stairs under the flickering light.
She tried to hold back the tears of anger as she turned to him.
'Silia has them. He has my friends' Irma said scrunching up the paper.
'Look, I'm so sorry Irma' Stephen aproched her placing his hands on her shoulders.
She pulled away from him and walked into the middle of the room.
'DAMN YOU SILIA! DAMN YOU MORS-IE!' Irma threw the note to the other side of the room she then took a seat on the sofa with her hands on her head.
'Look. I'll help you get your friends back everything will be fine' Stephen comforted Irma sitting next to her.
'No, Stephen. It's not. He and little miss Shadow lady, took my family from me and turned them against me, I'm pretty sure she was there when my mom died, and now took my friends. If they find out. I don't want them to take you. You are like all I got now. That and chocolate.' She cried with her head on Stephen's shoulder. Stephen let out a little giggle at the end of her speech.
'Look at me. I would never leave you, even if I get captured, count on me to try and get out. I will help you I'm sure the others will to. Now let's head back, you've been up all night and you need sleep.' Stephen held Irma's chin looking into her eyes. Then they shared a long hug together alone but together in the flickering light of the basement.
