"Carrie wake up!" You opened your eyes to see Shadow's white tigers form looking down at you. "Where are we?" you asked and sat up and gasped. The room was very large. The walls were blue with gold patters and a blue light stand with gold light. There was a very large swimming pool with blue water and it looked so…Perfect. "Um…Shadow, How did we come here?" "Well after you blacked out, I blacked out so I don't know" Carrie sighed and nodded.

"Well I'll tell you" Carrie as well Shadow jumped at the new voice and turned to the water. A woman with gold hair was smiling at her from the water. She gasped for air and dived into the water. A tail followed her and she jumped from the water on the landing. Carrie gasped and tried to get up but slipped on the water and landed on her butt. "Its all right Carrie" said the mermaid. "How- How did you now my name?" She laughed and flipped her hair back. "We all know about you silly! I The Water Stage! /I " she said.

You were amazed that she knew your name but the mermaid was soo pretty. Her tail was gold and matched her hair. "My name Jade and I'm here to teach you how to use you amazing powers" You grinned and flipped your hair back. You looked over to Shadow who was staring at Jade with confusion. "Shadow, don't worry. I'll never dream of hurting your Carrie" You laughed and turned and hugged Shadow calming him down. He made a very low runt and turned into a Collie and moved into your arms.

"Well it will take work and a lot of work Carrie" said Jade and moved her tail so she was facing you. "Are you up to it Carrie?" You smiled and nodded and hugged Shadow. "Great! We'll get started soon but not this never day; I need to tell you some things" You nodded and Jade moved her self to the water. "Come in the water" You looked over at Shadow and he nodded. You got up and walked to the edge and took off your pants. You hopped in the water and Shadow hopped in the water and changed into a dolphin.

"Now Carrie, This place is yours and only yours" You smiled very wide at that part. "You see that door" said Jade pointing a door far away from you. "That door is to a locked door on the very last floor of the castle. You can only open the door, and this is the very last door" You nodded. Shadow swam around you a bit and you laughed and grinned. Jade smiled as well and said "Take out your wand" "My wand?" "Yes your wand" You shrugged and looked at your pants and turned around slowly.

But shadow jumped out of the water changed into a toy dog and reached and took out your wand. He walked back wagging his small tail and jumped into the water doggy swimming over to you. You laughed and took your wand and said 'thank you' and turned to Jade. She looked at your wand and stared at in for a while in awe. 'Um… Jade?" "Oh! Sorry…Ok hold it out" You did as you were told and Jade put her hand on your wand. Jade closed her eyes and muttered something you didn't understand. Then the water all around you started to glow. "Um….Jade?" she didn't reply to you but only mutter.

Then like a gun shot she opened her eyes and the end of your wand started to glow. It passed though your wand and into your body. You gasped and your vision got blurry and Shadow jumped in your arms. You felt like cold then warm then cold again and then felt as it you were hit by a very big wave of water. You opened your eyes and gasped for air and started to pant. You looked at Jade and you saw her grinning very wide. "What did you do?" She smiled and swam to you and gave you a hug. "I cannot tell you" You gave her a what-do-you-mean-you-can't-tell-me look. She laughed and clapped her hands together once. "Take this too" she said and opened her closed hands. There was a necklace of a time glass with bright blue liquid inside.

"It's like a time turner" Jade said. "Just you and only freeze and stop time" You grinned and looked at the necklace in your hands. "But isn't that the same?" you asked. Jade stopped smiling and thought about it. "Oh yeah" you laughed and Shadow jumped out of your arms. "So when do we start the training?" Jade smiled "Well, not today but how about….next Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday" You thought about it and nodded and grinned. "But if you need me just grab a hold of that necklace and think of me ok?" "Ok" "I have to go now, but I'll see you on Sunday" You smiled and nodded. "Bye Jade" "Bye, Bye Carrie" and the both of you hugged. "Bye Shadow" Shadow only barked and Jade laughed.

She turned around and dived into the water and vanished with in a blink of an eye. When you looked down the pool was very deep. When I say deep I mean I Very Deep /I . You gasped and swam to your things, with your wand in your mouth. After drying off you but on your jeans and ran to the door. Shadow was flying above you as a raven and you opened the door. You walked out of the amazing swimming room and looked down the dark corridor. "Come on Shadow" You whispered and ran down the hall.

After going down a hell of a lot of stairs you got to the Ravenclaw common room. You said the password and walked in like nothing happened. "CARRIE MIST" yelled someone. You looked around but got tackled down by Jessica. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? I WAS SCARD AND-AND- DON'T MAKE THAT A-HAPPEN AGAIN!" "Ok! OK!" you laughed and Jessica put you down. "You were gone for three-hours! What were you a-doing?" Shadow already changed into a mouse when you entered the common room squeaked.

"Um….I woke up…At the very end on the lake!" everyone in the common room look at you like you were crazy. "Well….Where did you get that necklace?" You looked down at your new necklace that Jade gave you. "Well I found it at the bottom of the lake" you lied. Jessica eyed it lonely and smiled at you. "Well lets something to do" You nodded and walked up the stairs to your dorm. "Hey, Where you a-going?" you turned around. "I'm going to take a nap!" "A what?" "A NAP!" you yelled and grinned and ran up stairs. Jessica shook her head and sat back down next to Drake.

You dropped on your bed and sighed. You smiled and Shadow jumped next to you as a bobcat. You smiled and closed the curtains and moved over to Shadow and hugged him and feel asleep.

When you awoke to hear a scream and your curtains were open. "CARRIE DON"T MOVE!"
