Chapter 30

Well, another story down the hatch. Now, before I say anything else, I think you people should know I stayed up until 5:07 in the morning to finish up this story for you guys. I'd like to thank all of my reviewers. You guys are the best! I'm both relieved and sad that this story is over. I'm relieved that the pressure is up, but I'm sad that I didn't do as good as I know I could've, plus it was fun making a romance with Tymmie, and Rachel is a great character. Now, my next story is going to be Serena's POV, and it's so far called: Brotherly Haunting. It took a lot to come up with, but I've been dying to post it; especially since I'm working on chapter twelve right now. Thank you so much for reading New Magic. Now enjoy this clip from the oh-so-soon-to-come, Brotherly Haunting!

Suddenly, Serena swirled into the world of dreams. She found herself being transported through a vortex of purple and pink colors. Several shapes flew past her, but since they were all black-like inkblots, she couldn't exactly figure out what they were. Finally, she made a painful landing on a hard, stone floor. She blinked, then rose, pain attacking her chest. Serena looked around, and found herself in the highest tower of Stanton's castle. But it was very different from the last time she saw it. The room looked a little newer. The candle in the holder was still tall, not filled with melted wax, the wood was dustless, and so was the stain-glass window. But...it was open. She looked out, and found two shadows perched on the railing. She tucked her head back in, and sighed, then looked down. She was shocked to find the same dress she had worn the night before. Deciding to take a closer look, she put her hands on either side of the window, and hoisted a leg out the window, ignoring the unladylike look. She shoved through the small window, and straightened her wrinkled dress. She tossed her head, and straightened her hair. The little figures were much smaller than her first glance. They didn't appear to notice the stranger behind them. Serena came up to their sides, her hair catching flashes of gold from the rising sun. It was two children. One she easily recognized as Stanton, and the other must have been Rachel. She tilted her head, and smiled at Stanton's cute little nightdress, and Rachel's much more elaborate nightgown. Her eyes shifted, went to their held hands, making her smile broaden. But, just then, a shadow appeared by Stanton, a little bigger than he was, but still small. The shadow became almost perfectly visible, and she could make out dark brown, almost black hair, and emerald green eyes. She looked at the row of jeweled eyes. The little boy smiled at the other two children. He must have been Jacques. He turned to Serena, stunning her. "Set us free. Please!" Serena squinted. "What?" His mouth opened, but she was pulled back into the vortex. She pondered the strange dream, but then, her eyes closed. When they opened again, it was dawn. She looked around, finding herself in the familiar bedchamber. On the bed, under the blanket. Her brows pinched as she lifted her hand. It touched a hard, warm chest. She looked over, and smiled at her sleeping prince.

Just so you know, things are about to get pretty rushed. I want to leave you in suspense, but I also want to post Brotherly Haunting as quick as possible. So, to sort of satisfy both of my cravings, I'm going to ask you politely to review this story before you read the first chapter of Brotherly Haunting's. Trust me, it's a must read!
