Chapter 25: Sinking into a pit of Darkness.
Stacie tried to pull away, but her right arm was in so much pain that when she moved the pain shot up through her whole body that caused her to wince and almost fall. Richard grinning wildly, and gripped tightly around her arms and pulled her with him.
"Let me go!" Said the scared prefect her voice full of fear.
"NO. I will not let you go my love." Richard said yanking her with him as he walked which caused her to stumble forward.
"You're hurting me."
"You wanna know what hurts Stacie?" Richard stopped, an evil look on his face, he turned around and smirked.
"No." Stacie said quietly. Looking down at the ground, her arms throbbing in pain, her legs hurt and her arms hurt and she was to weak to fight him off.
"That's what I thought." Richard bitterly responded, continuing his walk forward, he made his way towards the lake dragging her with him. He stopped when he the full lake came into view. He let his grip loosen on Stacie just a bit.
You're weak Stacie, but take a chance! Run for it Stacie run for it! Stacie pulled away quickly and made a run for it, her speed wasn't as fast and when Richard noticed she was running he wasn't to far behind her. Closing her eyes tightly she tried to pick up her pace of running but it only made her go a second faster.
"No you don't." Richard said through his gritted teeth, he was just behind Stacie, he grabbed her and shoved her to the ground, and she fell to the ground and was greeted by the sand that didn't feel to good against her skin. Turning onto her backside she backed away quickly from him. She couldn't stand herself up. Her arms ached too much.
"Accio Rope." Richard used the spell, and a long brown rope appeared in his hands, it was long enough to tie Stacie's legs together in a double or triple knott. Taking a few quickly steps towards Stacie he was close enough to grab her legs. When he suddenly was greeted with one of Stacie's feet kicking him square in the face.
Turning back on her front side she crawled away as quickly as she could without using her right arm, it was hard but she had to get away. She stopped for a moment and coughed, and then continued on. She had to get somewhere, get to a safe place, and find Courtney or someone. She needed to be saved, quickly. *
Courtney finally made her way out of the sewer, and was in front of the Hogwarts school, the mist covered the grounds, so she couldn't see anyone if there was anyone out there. Turning around she tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge.
"Great." Courtney said angrily stomping her feet. "Just great."
Courtney ran over to the other doors, and she had the same result, they were locked too. Looking at the ground for a key or anything to get her inside the castle, she didn't find anything, but she found a white piece of paper, and it was labeled to Stacie. So obviously Stacie was outside, but where?
"Where are you Stacie?" Courtney said quietly, breaking out into a run she ran through the fog, and stopped when she was in the middle of a field, looking around slowly like a hawk that was hunting its prey she found nothing. Slowly moving forward she hoped she'd hear footsteps. Sadly none were heard.
"Damn it."
*
Nina and Whitney were sitting in the bus as it was moving towards the school, Whitney had her head on Nina's shoulder and was sleeping she had been wiped out from all the activities that had taken place that day. Nina was leaning against the window, her eyes partly closed yet partly open not wanting to fall asleep just yet. Cindie on the other hand was leaning against Whitney sleeping which only added Nina to get a little squished.
Meg was leaning against the window sleeping; she held a penguin that had black, white and yellow sparkles that shimmered in the light. A smile was on her face, slowly her legs were brought up and she looked as if she were a slight ball. Kaylan was looking down at her book that she had brought with her to read on the way back to Hogwarts, even though there wasn't any classes she had to study.
*
Shae, Ashley, Flor, and Iris were sitting in the front of the bus trying to fall asleep but couldn't since all the other prefects decided to fall asleep. Then again, they couldn't because the bus driver was talking to them and asking them strange questions about the school.
"Do you guys have hogs at hogwarts? Do you all get warts at Hogwarts? Get it Hogwarts! Isn't that funny?" The bus driver said, laughing at his own joke. He scratched his belly as he drove, and laughed.
"No, we don't have hogs or warts at Hogwarts, we just learn there." Flor said, not getting the joke really.
"Oh, well that is a bummer! What kind of school doesn't have hogs and warts at their schools! Shows you how much schools give their students education."
"Oh, it's pretty good education you know, we just like our school very sanitary." Ashley responded, smiling.
"Can we sleep now?" Shae asked, after she yawned.
"Nope."
"Awe." Shae whined. "I'm tired though!"
Flor looked back to see what everyone was doing; all of them were sleeping except for some of the boys, and Kaylan who was reading. Yawning, she leaned back and closed her eyes.
"We can sleep for awhile, almost all of the bus is sleeping and we don't really need to check up on sleeping kid though there are people that are awake one of you gets to stay awake."
Shae already fell asleep, so she was already out of the picture.
Ashley yawned, and looked over at Shae who was sleeping and Flor who was half awake, half sleeping. Grabbing the rest of her drink, which had been keeping her up, she took the last sip.
"I'll stay up." Ashley offered. "You can go to sleep Iris."
Iris nodded slowly but didn't fall asleep, she wasn't tired exactly yet.
*
Whitney now had moved to be sitting on Nina's lap, still sleeping, her head was on Nina's left shoulder and she was curled up slightly in a ball. Now holding the Squirrel that Nina had gotten for her on the way out of Sparkle Town. Cindie was on the right side of Nina, her head was on her shoulder, and a little bit of drool was running down her mouth. Nina who looked over at Cindie slightly pushed Cindie off of her which made Cindie fall of her seat.
"HUH?!" Cindie woke up startled by her fall, looking around she noticed she was on the ground. Mumbling a few words she stood up slowly and sat down next to Teresa and put her head on Teresa's shoulder, which caused Teresa to hit her head against the window.
"MY HEAD." Teresa nearly screamed.
"Stop screaming will ya?" Cindie whined hitting Teresa lightly on the head and then placed her head back on her shoulder and was about to fall asleep when Teresa shoved Cindie off of her and onto the floor. Cindie in return grabbed Teresa and they both took the fall.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry, but see you can't just push someone who is half awake off of you! You deserved it Teresa!"
"I can, and I did! I will do it again if I could!"
"Shh, quiet." Nina whispered, placing her head ontop of Whitney's head, closing her eyes trying to get some shut eye but so far it wasn't successful with all the talking that was going on. "Some of us are trying to sleep."
"Sorry!" Cindie said, a grin on her face she mouthed over to Teresa 'Tickle Nina, but first get Whitney off of Nina.' Teresa and Cindie slowly moved over to where Whitney was and pushed her off to the side, off of Nina and leaned her head against the window. Whitney didn't wake up; she was in to deep of a sleep.
"Get Nina!" Teresa giggled, while Cindie pushed Nina off of the seat and onto the floor and sat down on Nina's legs and started to tickle her, and Teresa did the same except was trying to pin down Nina's arms.
"Hey hey." Nina said, holding back her laughter but it was to complicated not to laugh so she burst into laughter. "You...can...stop now."
"Let me help!" Seanny said excitedly throwing the book she had in the air, and moving over to help tickle Nina, which only got Nina more annoyed then she already was.
"Bad knee's. Get off my knee's." Nina said trying to move her legs around, but having no success. "Off. Bad knee's!"
Teresa stood up and shoved Cindie off of Nina's legs and sat down where Cindie once sat and continued to tickle her. Ignoring her requests of them stopping. 5 minutes later Jamie soon joined in the tickling feast along with Lia.
"Whittnnneeey." Nina whined, trying to get her younger sisters attention. Trying to move her arm towards the seat.
"Hmm?" Whitney mumbled, looking towards where her big sister was along with the other girls that were there she waved. "Fun."
"Whitney! Make them get off me." Nina said her voice full of annoyance.
"Get...off..of..Squishy Face. You're hurting her." Whitney said through her yawns.
"O..k." Cindie said, along with Seanny they both backed away, looking down at Nina they looked over to where Teresa was sitting, which was on her knee's they slowly walked over to Teresa.
"Nina has bad knee's you should get off of her legs." Seanny said, her eyes shifting from Nina to Whitney to the others.
"Don't listen to them!" Jamie spat, glaring at Cindie and Seanny. "Cindie you are in Slytherin you are mean to these ickle Ravenclaws! They're worthless, and 'sides they are mudbloods like Nina is."
"Excuse me? Did you just call my sister a mudblood?" Whitney said in shock and anger.
"I'm not the stereotypical Slytherin like you are Jamie. I happen to have friends in Ravenclaw who are very nice and kind like Nina and next time you open your mouth and say something that stupid, I will kick you where it hurts and you can kiss your long precious hair goodbye because it will be all boy style and you will be mistaken for a boy." Cindie said through gritted teeth.
Nina glared angrily at Jamie her wand was in her pocket and she grabbed it slightly and accidentally and looked towards the snobby Slytherin and muttered. "Eat Slugs." it hit Jamie, and she fell to the floor. Teresa got off of Nina quickly and sat down on a seat, afraid that Nina might use the same spell on her.
Jamie was leaning on her hands, and she threw up slugs, making a face that looked like she was disgusted, looking back over at Nina for a second she then threw up another one in front of Nina.
"Okay, ew." Nina squealed sitting up, and moving over to where Whitney sat, and sat down next to her sister.
"Thank God I can't see well in the dark." Whitney smiled, and leaned against Nina and started to fall asleep. Clinging to her squirrel, she curled up her legs, and leaned even more into Nina.
"Night Squishy."
"Night Whittily." Nina whispered, placing her head ontop of Whitney's she drifted off into a sleep.
*
Stacie struggled a bit, and dug her hands into the sand and pulled herself forward, her arms were shaking violently, closing her eyes she knew she was to weak to do anything and she was just about to give up.
"No...Can't." Stacie muttered, she continued to move but it gradually got slower and slower. Hearing his evil laughter right behind her she whimpered and tried to move faster but with no success.
"I got you now Stacie." Richard grinned wickedly, grabbing Stacie's legs and pulling her towards him.
"No no no." Screamed Stacie, kicking her legs violently and clinging to her right arm as he dragged her. "Let me go! SOMEONE HELP!"
* Courtney stopped in the middle of the field when she saw a figure that she couldn't make out. It looked like a male; it could have been Richard so she took a couple quick steps forward but stopped when she noticed it wasn't him. He looked too old to be him.
The figure wore a black suit, that had tares at the end of the pant legs, and at the end of the sleeves of his shirt and there was dirt covering him up. He was transparent to, you could practically see right through him.
"Who are you?" Courtney asked, once she stood face to face with the figure. Trying to touch the figure her hand went right through him, and caused her to quickly pull her hand away. A look of curiosity on her face.
"I am Salazar Slytherin, creator of Slytherin house."
"Get out..." Courtney, said half amused and shocked, her eyes open wide.
*
Stacie kept screaming, trying to get any form of help but the only response she would get is Richard putting his hand over her mouth, making it so her scream was muffled. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up." Richard snapped, glaring at Stacie he forced her to stand up, and he stood behind her and put his hands on her back slightly pushing her towards the end of the brown dock.
Standing at the edge of the dock, Stacie looked down at the water that was calling out to her to take her away. Shaking her head violently, she would try to fight Richard off of her. Her hair fell in front of her face so her stalker couldn't see her facial expression.
"Are there any words you would like to say to me?" Richard asked, grabbing part of Stacie's hair and pushing it behind her ear so he could look down at her and see her reaction to things. He touched her cheek, but Stacie pulled away from his arm and tried to move from him.
"Don't. Touch. Me." Stacie spat, glaring at him. "Why? Why did you have to come here and stalk me."
"Because, I love you Stacie." Richard whispered.
"You do not know what love is." Stacie bitterly said.
Turning Stacie around quickly he gripped her shoulders tightly and glared at her. He pushed her hair out of her face, and made sure Stacie was looking at him square in the eye.
"I do, and to bad you won't get to know what love is, because no one will be able to love you like I do Stacie. Now goodbye." Richard said, kissing Stacie, and then Stacie quickly pulled away glaring down at the ground.
Richard pushed Stacie into the water, and watched as Stacie fell into the water, a scream of terror exited Stacie's throat and she fell into the water, and sunk. Swimming back up to the surface or at least trying to, Richard put his hand on her head and pushed her under more so she couldn't get out.
*
"Stacie's life, is in danger Courtney, and I do not have much time to talk to you. She's by a lake, its where Rowena, Helga, and Godric and I were buried. it's covered in water; she's there. She hasn't got much time. Now go, and save your distant cousin." Salazar smiled wickedly, leaning forward towards Courtney.
"Distant cousin? I..."
"Go!" Salazar said his voice was loud and then he disappeared into the fog. Living a chill down Courtney's back.
"Okay..." Courtney frowned, walking towards the fog she closed her eyes trying to locate her newly distant Cousin, which made her even more determined to find her. Her feet started to pick up the pace and soon she started running, on a mission to find her newly cousin that was actually a distant one.
Come on where could Stacie be? Courtney looked frantically from left to right, trying to find the pathway to the lake that Salazar was telling her about, but nothing was sticking out to her. Biting her nails nervously she ran faster, hoping that some how Salazar would lead her to where she needed to be.
*
Stacie threw her hands up in the air and gripped Richards strong hands that was holding her down. Digging one of her hands nails into his right arm which seemed to be the strongest, she kept digging into his skin and then it broke open and was bleeding lightly. Pulling both of his arms away quickly which caused Stacie's broken arm to move with the arm that was pulled away caused Stacie to gasp. Which made it so the water choacked her and she quickly got to the surface and took a deep breath.
"I." Stacie whispered, her arm was in so much pain she couldn't move it, and she couldn't float which caused her to slowly sink. Holding her breath for what seemed to be a moment or two seemed forever and she fell into unconciousness and her body laid there on the bottom.
Only so much time is left. In the back of Stacie's mind she knew she didn't have much time to be saved and she hoped she would be saved soon. By anyone.
*
"Corky save me! Corky!" Stacie's voice echoed through the field, it was loud and it surrounded Courtney. Her voice was full of fear, and it was like a little child. Sadly, she couldn't be seen.
"Stacie?" Courtney said loudly looking around trying to find where the voice was but she couldn't find her best friend, only heard the voice.
"I'm scared Corky! It's to dark!" Stacie now sounded like she was crying, and it was more urgent and louder this time, but soon it got softer. "Don't leave me all alone."
"Where are you?" Courtney said yelling out into the sky, walking towards where she thought the voice was, but now she didn't hear the voice and she started to get scared. "Stacie?"
There was no response. Walking in a circle for a minute she ran really hard towards where her gut was telling her to go, she just hoped she was going to get there in time, and hoped that her instinct was correct.
TBC.
Stacie tried to pull away, but her right arm was in so much pain that when she moved the pain shot up through her whole body that caused her to wince and almost fall. Richard grinning wildly, and gripped tightly around her arms and pulled her with him.

"Stacie?" Courtney said loudly looking around trying to find where the voice was but she couldn't find her best friend, only heard the voice.
"I'm scared Corky! It's to dark!" Stacie now sounded like she was crying, and it was more urgent and louder this time, but soon it got softer. "Don't leave me all alone."
"Where are you?" Courtney said yelling out into the sky, walking towards where she thought the voice was, but now she didn't hear the voice and she started to get scared. "Stacie?"
There was no response. Walking in a circle for a minute she ran really hard towards where her gut was telling her to go, she just hoped she was going to get there in time, and hoped that her instinct was correct.
TBC.
