Okay so I went back and re-wrote my 3rd chapter so that it is a little better, I'm now in the process of changing a few things in the older chapters so I may or may not be posting new chapters for the next couple days for the sake of a better story. So if you want you can go and re-look at chapter 3, 2, and 1 I will post a better chapter 4 tomorrow.

Professor Griselda was walking down the hallway lost deeply in thought. Millions of questions swarmed in her mind calling out to her for answers. It had been two days since the two girls had disappeared. When the young student had brought in Thalia's backpack to Mrs. Faragonda Griselda knew that something was up and she made it her duty to find out what. She had a sense of foul play once they had searched the backpack for any clues about what had happened to dear Thalia, she thought that they might find at least one clue but when they searched the bag they found nothing but a drawing of some shadow figure.

Unlike most kidnappings where the kidnapper took people with things in common such as looks, hair color, personality, or smartness. That was what was so odd about this case. Neither Thalia nor Crystal had any similarities at all. Crystal had brown hair where Thalia had a light blonde. Crystal's eyes were green, Talia's were an icy blue. They looked nothing a like.

Griselda threw her hands in the air in frustration. "This is so confusing! It doesn't add up!" She yelled out shaking her hands in fury. She lowered her arms as she calmed down realizing that the rest of the school was still sleeping. "It just doesn't make any sense" She mumbled under her breath. Her brain pounding like fists on a glass door. Her brain felt like it might shatter at any time. Griselda rubbed at her temples as her head began to feel dizzy. She closed her eyes trying to hold back tears of frustration. 'nothing makes sense anymore.' She thought.

She was trying to weed out the reason Thalia had been kidnapped. Thalia was one of the best in her year, it didn't make sense unless she considered that Thalia went willingly. 'No, she couldn't go willingly that wasn't Thalia's style.' She thought, Yes but Griselda you have to remember that Thalia's style was to snoop and find all the information she could before telling an adult. She was quick and arrogant. Of course it all made sense now, Thalia had gone willingly with the kidnapper to find out all she could. Thalia probably wasn't thinking straight, Wizgiz had said that she didn't look well when she left his classroom.'

Then there was Crystal, it made no sense why a kidnapper would take her, her family was poor so that ruled ransom out, She had no magnificent power, She was the weakest out of her year.

The sound of a muffled shout and a loud "bang!" Awoke Griselda out of her deep thoughts. Taking a deep breath she looked around and realized it was coming from a door not far from the west wing right around the corner from where Thalia's backpack was found. Griselda gasped, 'What if a student found Macy!' She thought, 'this is terrible!'

She ran to the room where the shadow queen resided. Mrs. Faragonda told her last year that an evil shadow ruler named, Macy, dwelled in the room. She was told that a very ancient mirror laid in the back of the room and held Macy captive. Griselda snapped out of the memory and tried the doorknob, 'Jammed! Darn it!' She would have to use force to get the door open. She took a step back and ran at the door shoulder first.

With a bang the door shot open throwing Griselda to the ground. Griselda hit the floor with a small thud. She got up feeling a stinging in her thy. she walked to the back of the room where she was told that was the place where the magical mirror was kept. It was Macy's Prison.

She walked to the back of the room and looked all around her before noticing a small glint of gold peeping out of an old dusty sheet. She ran towards the sheet and shoved the cloth aside. She stared at mirror but stopped when she saw Thalia laying on the ground in the mirror, Macy looming over her. She watched in horror as Macy Grasped Thalia's throat laughing evilly. "Now we will see how strong your magic really is shadow protector!"

"I'll never give in to you." Thalia gasped out. Griselda noted that Thalia's voice sounded weak and pathetic. Griselda didn't know what to do, she tried to move forward to attack Macy and to help Thalia, but she found that her legs wouldn't move. She tried pulling her legs up with her hands but she soon realized she couldn.t move any part of her body she was frozen. She had to face that she was frozen by pure terror watching the one student that the teachers all adored die in front of her.

Common sense stopped Griselda and made her think, 'How am I even going to get in the mirror. I can't do this on my own. I have to get the others.'

"Hang on Thalia I'm going to get help, just hang in there!" She yelled, running out of the room.

It didn't matter how hard Thalia fought back she would soon give into the darkness. Macy's hand was burning into Thalia's flesh she cried out in pain and tried to struggle free of Macy's grasp. "Let me go I'll never give into you!"

"You will eventually my dear." Macy giggled.

Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I am so sorry that it is so short and I would like to let you know that I am working on getting that minor problem fixed.
