Disappearing Act Chapter 4

Gabriella and Ryan looked at each other.

"What is it?" Kelsie asked.

"We may have seen a man on the way down here." said Ryan realizing that what they saw would sound crazy.

"So there are a lot of people here. It could have been one of the other students." said Chad.

"How many East High students do you know that can walk through walls?" Gabriella asked.

"What?" asked Chad confused.

"The man we saw was starring at us, and when Gabriella asked who he was he ran straight through a stone wall." said Ryan.

"It could have been a trick wall." Troy suggested.

"It wasn't we checked it. There was no way anybody could get through the wall." said Gabriella.

"You could have been seeing things." said Kelsie.

"I thought I was when I saw this guy the first two times." said Gabriella.

"You saw this guy before?" Troy asked.

"Yes, when we first arrived and in my room outside in the garden, thats when Sharpay disappeared. I can't be seeing things if I'm not the only one seeing them." said Gabriella defensively.

"Calm down, it just seems kind of crazy." said Troy.

"Were inside a castle owned by one of the worlds most talented magicians." said Ryan. "Is it really that far fetched?"

"Well," Taylor started.

"This guys tricks aren't real their just illusions." said Kelsie. "It may have been a trick he was playing on you."

"Exactly, a simple illusion." said Chad. Gabriella just sat down next to Troy saying nothing. Ryan walked away still looking for his sister. They ate the lunch that was set out for him talking, but Gabriella didn't say anything, she just ate her food.

"Gabriella are you OK?" Taylor asked.

"Fine!" she said not looking up from her food.

"Are you mad about what we said."Kelsie asked.

"I'm not seeing things and its not an illusion." said Gabriella angrily. "And I'm going to prove it to you sooner or later." She got up and headed back up to her room.

She opened the door and entered slamming the door behind her. She looked around the room. Sharpay had never returned. Her stuff was laying in the floor just as it was when she left the room earlier. She sat on her bed and looked at the things that were scattered across the room. She got up then unpacked quickly. She went over to the window and looked out into the now dark silhouette of the garden. She turned back around and sat on the side of her bed. She opened a book she had brought and began to read it. She only read a few pages when she suddenly started to have a horrible feeling. She sat the book down and stood up. When she turned around she saw a figure standing in the middle of her bed. It did not seem to have the same appearance as the man she had been seeing. It looked like a women, but their were no features that Gabriella could point out to know for sure, and as fast as she came she disappeared. Gabriella stood there awestruck, when there was a sudden knock on the door. Gabriella jumped. She slowly walked to the door and opened it. Ryan was standing there.

"Sharpay never came back." she said assuming that was the reason he was there.

"Zeke never came back from lunch either." said Ryan.
