This is chapter 2 and it's still being told in Jenna's point of view. Please review and enjoy!


I could barely hear anything with the black, icy water filling my ears.

About the only thing that I could hear where Etheldra's feet treading in the water.

There was a faint noise of somebody yelling, but what was it about.

I tried to listen closer and hear where the voices were coming from.

The people above the surface were screaming and moving frantically around, trying to find what they had been looking for and then everything went silent.

I finally gave out on the whole hearing thing and closed my eyes and went with the darkness again.


Septimus's POV

"Where's Jenna?" I screamed toward Nicko, hoping that he wasn't trying to ignore me.

"What do you mean Sep? She's right in front of you." he answered pointing his hands to the same spot where Jenna had been just barley treading the water.

"Ugh!" I screamed and yelled at Nicko.

He just shrugged his shoulders and turned toward Snorri who was emerging from the darkness with a rope.

"Where's Jenna?" she questioned Nicko, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know! She was right there and then she wasn't."

A shocked expression emerged onto Snorri's face and then I quickly guessed what she was thinking.

She stared into Nicko's eyes and somewhat gave him the hint of what she thought had happened to Jenna.

We stood silent, staring at each other for a few more seconds until I finally broke it.

"We have to find her. She is our sister after all."

Nicko and Snorri still stood, motionless, staring at each other.

I quickly ran over to where Snorri was standing and ripped the rope from her grasp.

She still stood motionless and then finally she moved.

She shook her hand in pain and then looked at me.

"I'm going to find her, but I'll need your help."

Her eyes looked confused at first and then she understood what I wanted.

I tyed the rope around my waist and gave the other side to Snorri to hold onto.

"When I pull on the rope, pull me up as fast as you can."

Snorri slowly nodded her head and with that I moved to the edge of the platform.

I stared down into the black waters that rippled just below me.

I stared back at Snorri and then I was ready.

I turned my head back toward the water and did a cannonball into it.

The cold water quickly seeped around me and I shivered inside my wet, freezing apprentice robes.

I tried to adjust my eyes so I could find Jenna.

The bottom of the moat was covered in weeds and I figured that it would be hard to find Jenna, but I wasn't going to give up on her.

I searched left and right, searching for anything red or looked like a human body.

Through a patch of dark green weeds a red thing layed somewhat slumped over.

I forced my feet to move faster before I ran out of air.

I was close enough now that I could touch it.

I slowly stretched out my arm and felt the strange red object.

It didn't move, so I slowly moved closer towards it.

I looked into the upper part of it and found out what it was.

It was exactly what I had been looking for. It was Jenna.

I curled my arm around her waist and picked her up so she was somewhat standing.

I could see her face was somewhat full of pain and her lips were turning blue from staying under the cold water.

I yanked at the rope as hard as I could and I could feel something on the other end.

My feet slowly moved upward, toward the surface of the water.

I could finally make out figures at the top.

I could see Nicko and Snorri pulling the rope, while Marcellus was fretting for his mother's life.

I could feel my body break the surface of the water and I was quickly being pulled toward the platform and then I could feel it.

I could feel solid ground underneath me.

I gave out a slow sigh and let the close to lifeless body of Jenna fall from my arms.

I watched her body to see if she made any movements, but there were absolutely none.

Was Jenna alive or was she already dead, no way of bringing her back?

Was my last memory of her really going to be of her slowly slipping under the surface of water and her life passing away with it?

I had to know, I just had to know what the answer was or would be.


That's the end of chapter two and it was hard finishing it because I havn't been on the computer for like three weeks. I totally lost all my ideas, so sorry if this is a bad chapter.
