AN: I OWN NOTHING OF THE SCOOBY DOO FRANCHISE!!!!
Chapter Eight,
An hour later at Mystery Inc.'s headquarters, Melinda had been sent to search for Harry, but had returned home empty-handed with the exception of a broken pair of glasses found on The Cave floor. Daphne and Fred had been warned of what had happened and everyone, including the children and Scarlette, were piled into the Mystery Machine and headed for Whirlen and Marlon the Brothers Merlin Academy of Magic. The entire ride there however, gave Velma chills down her spine; hopefully this time the monsters were only puppets as well....
When the gang arrived at the academy, the castle lay in complete ruin. Twelve figures were seen standing before the rubbish that was once, a great glory. It was easy to tell that seven of the figures were men and the other five were women. When the gang began to approach the group, they turned to face them as the familiar faces of the Olympians.
"Where is Madelyn?" Velma asked as she stepped forward. The one known as Zeus pointed towards the woods beyond the school expressionless.
"She was taken to the woods with the other inhabitants of the school, we could not stop them." Athena elaborated.
"For once there were more Titans than Olympians." Apollo continued.
"Indeed, we were not expecting to see Hyperion, Iapetus, and Atlas to have escaped their worldly prisons." Artemis said.
"We could not stop them," Hera repeated.
"We could not stop them…." Melinda said entranced by the words. "Could… not… stop…." What happened next, no one expected. Melinda had turned to woods and run inside as fast as she could, not caring of the branches in her path or the roots she began tripping over. She was running blindly through the woods at unknown target.
Melinda ran until she had to stop. When she did, the woods were spinning around her and she couldn't find her way out of the small circle that she was in. Melinda began to lose her breath and collapsed on the floor of the wood. When she opened her eyes, she was in another wood, sparkling light floating around her. She stood uneasily and grabbed a nearby branch for support. She managed to steady herself and began to feel the frantic urge to run deeper through the woods. She began and branches began to whip her across the face as she dashed by, but she did not bother to brush them aside. Finally the woods began to clear and Melinda found that she could finally stop running.
Harry awoke in a room that was unfamiliar. He knew he did not have his glasses and therefore that it was useless to look through the window beside him. However, for the faintest second of a moment in the world, he did hear something. The melody sounds of running steps.
