Chapter Sixteen
Liberty Bell brushed her brunette hair behind her ear keeping it from her eyes. The sun shined as bright as it could through the gray clouds. Liberty pulled her knees closer to her jaw and sighed. She had been sitting on the curb waiting for the bus which was ten minutes late. She only had one thought on her mind, home. The place she was headed.
She was leaving Alfea. No one could stop her. She already killed an innocent and she doesn't deserve what she has here. The bus finally arrived, after fifteen minutes of tardy. Liberty stood up and pulled her luggage onto the vehicle with one, last glance at Alfea the school for fairies.
"LIBERTY BELL!" A shout startled the brunette. She froze for a second, a turned her head around to see who was yelling at her. With a short glance she turned around and ran up the steps of the bus, as the middle aged lady, Griselda came running to the bus as the doors shut.
Griselda's feet stopped in the middle of the street as she watched the bus drive away. Mallory was not going to be happy about this. With an angry sigh, Griselda dragged herself out of the middle of the road and walked back onto the campus of Alfea.
Busting through the doors entering the Grand Hallway, Griselda reached into her shaking pocket to retrieve her cell phone. "Hello?" She said, and paused. "No, we have a slight problem with that. She left, just moments ago, I couldn't stop her. I caught her way too late." She waited quietly for a second as the sounds came through the small speaker. "Yes, I'm getting ready to leave in about ten minutes, just to give them a little more time with their injured friends. We will get Liberty Bell back, she just needs time, but with her gone, Gwen badly injured, and Mike probably going to need to rest for a day or two, plus the two deaths of Natalie and Edana, our team is going to be low. Retrieving Ms. Knightly will be extremely hard. Mandy, we are going to need more members with the amount we are losing. Something tells me, not everyone from the remaining team will make it to the very end of this war." With that, the brunette hung up, and her heels clicked as she continued her way down the hall. She only had a few minutes with an empty school, well, a school with the principal being absent, just do a few things and dig up information on the woman who was the new Headmistress of Alfea really is, anything that would show she was who she said she was.

Rose Marie Knightly's light sparkling blue eyes popped opened suddenly. The back of her head ached and she had no clue where she was. The last thing she remembered was being in her dorm room, and now she was here.
Here she was now sitting on an old bed. An old fragile nightstand sat next to the bed with an antique looking table lamp plugged in and looking like it was going to die any moment. Lastly, there was a big book. Rose stood up from the dusty bed she'd been laying on for God knows how long and walked towards a steel door in the room. She placed her hand on the latch before she tried to pull it down, but there was no click. The door was locked, and there was no way of getting out. "Damn it!" Rose cursed.
She didn't cuss very often, but at this moment, she did not care. There were no windows, no clocks, no bathrooms, food or water which totally wasn't great in Rose's opinion. There was no way of getting out, and with no food or water, she probably wasn't going to live much longer being locked in the smallest room you could ever live in.
Rose sat on her bed, and picked up the huge book that was put in the room. It was probably there for her to read. Her eyes closed suddenly as she picked the brown novel up. She saw another vision*. The book lying on top of the desk of some guys and his arms were hovering over it as he stretched to give two girls money. Then, she noticed herself lying on the floor. What was most shocking, she witnessed a murder, a murder she committed of one of the girls who have gotten the money.
Dropping the book, Rose's eyes opened in fear. Not just that she was scared of herself committing murder, but she had never seen a vision from the past before, only the present. She remembered everything now. She remembered being knocked unconscious just moments after the murder of Gaylita Ganga*.
She picked the book up off of the floor and turned to the first page. The cover didn't have a title, but the inside did. Black Magic Spellbook the page read. After Rose's blue eyes moved across those three words, her hands slapped the book shut. She threw it away from her. Who knew what could happen if she read it? She had seen plenty of movies in her life to know that bad books aren't very good to read.
She brushed her sun kissed hair out of her face as she rose from her bed. She quickly went to the metal door and closed her hands into two fists. Opening her mouth as wide as possible, she began her screams. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!"

Griselda sat in Headmistress Vindbrigger's office. The lights were turned off, and the computer screen shone right in her face. Hacking into a computer was wrong, but when it involves the safety of children, it was necessary. And it wasn't exactly really hacking into her computer, minus the fact she cracked Ms. Vindbrigger's password, she was just coping suspicious files onto her flash drive. No problem.
Ms. Griselda copied a lot of files. Once she was finally down, she unplugged her flash drive and shutdown the computer. She exited the office to enter her own and jammed the device into her computer. Now, was her chance to actually find out if Ms. Vindbrigger has anything to do with this villain or not.
Ten minutes went by. Ms. Griselda knew she should've already asked the teens at the doctor's to come back to their schools, but she knew they had a curfew, and they knew what happens when they break it. She figured they'd be back by lights out.
She reached for her coffee which was cold. As she took a sip she browsed the cursor over a suspicious file from the Headmistress's computer. Opening it she couldn't help but drop the glass of cold coffee. Certainly, Darla Vindbrigger has something to do with the war over the Triangular Power.

Amelia Sunrise looked both ways as she crossed the street. It was dark and clouds were rolling in covering the moon. She had no doubt it was going to rain pretty soon.
She took her eyes off the sky and rested them back on the paper she had in her hands, a map. She looked back up at the building she stood in front of. This was the place she'd been asked to come to. She crumpled the paper into her jean pocket and pulled on the doors before entering the building.
Ch. 16 finally up! Sorry I was taking a little break from writing, that's why it took almost a month for the update! But you know updates aren't always going to be quick! What do you think is going to happen? I love to here all your thoughts and opinions. What's Amelia doing? What did Ms. Griselda figure out?
I starred to items...
Visions
think back when Rose made her first real appearance, not the short appearance at the beginning but the one just a few chapters ago. She is said o have visions.
Gaylita Ganga
A witch who only appeared in the chapter "A Shocking Murder" chapter named after her after the events at the end, where Rose killed her for self defense, well not exactly self defense.
Thank you for reviewing Webmonster! Next chapter we will check in on the fairies, specialist, and those few witches. And probably witches will be introduced then, if not pretty, pretty soon!
