Silence

by draco70

Kendra feared the world of Fablehaven, all the sounds and mutters she could always hear. However, nothing scared her more than hearing nothing... (A short ten minute one-shot I wrote from a writing prompt a while ago. This was written during the time of the Secrets of The Dragon Sanctuary)

The silence woke her. She's never heard anything more terrifying. Night was never this silent. Not for as long as she's ever been in that house.

There was always some sort of creaking or muttering. But not this time. Has she lost her powers? Were all the things making the sounds working for someone? Someone she didn't know?

She crawled out of bed, hoping to find something. Something reassuring. She hoped something would be there, telling her not to worry. She tip-toed into the attic, where all the sounds were the loudest. Nothing. Out the window, there was still nothing. No fairies, no giant cows.

She began to worry. Hopefully, she was just dreaming. It's not possible to loose your powers, is it? Can the fairies take them away?

She rubbed her eyes, hoping everything will come back. Nothing. Instead, there was fire. Could that be Venessa's doing? Is this what happens when you trust-

A roar echoed in the night. She recognized that roar. It was Celebrant's. Could he be doing this? She looked to the sky and saw...Raxtus. Raxtus swirled in the sky above.

Kendra woke and ran to the window to see everything was just fine. Could it be a dream or vision? She would've thought about it longer if Seth hadn't snapped her back to reality for breakfast.
