Sorry I didn't get to post this chapter up sooner I kinda hit a writer's block but I for one love the ending of this chapter and I hope you guys do to.
The door knob turned open and the white door was pushed gently as an older woman walked in, her hair was brown and her eyes gentle. Ophelia stepped out. Clearing her throat she cried out "I have the results."
All eyes turned to her a sense of dread running through each and every one of them. It seemed as if they all held their breath as Ophelia began to speak.
"The results show nothing. I have no idea what happened to her."
"What?" They all cried out in unison.
"How can you not know what happened to her?" Griselda screamed out towards the elderly woman.
"This isn't happening." Dufour said softly. Her eyes began to water and her voice shook. It was clear that she was in denial.
Palladium stood up and moved over to Dufour and put his arm around her in an effort to comfort the sobbing woman. "It is all going to be okay." He whispered to her.
She pushed him away and screamed, "It is not okay! Something is clearly wrong with Thalia she's in danger. Something is clearly happening to her. Something is wrong! How can you not deny this?" After she choked out those words she burst into uncontrollable sobs.
All of the teachers looked at her. Shock etched on their faces they had never seen her break down. She was always strong for them she was the one who never backed down even in a fight.
Breaking the silence Wizgiz asked the question that had burned in their heads, "What is happening to Thalia? Why didn't she go to the infirmary when I told her to?"
"I Know." Faragonda said as she looked each of the teachers in the eyes.
"What do you mean by 'I Know' Faragonda?" Wizgiz asked
Faragonda's voice shook when she replied "I mean that I know what has happened to Thalia. I knew what she was the moment she entered Alfea. She is a secret keeper"
"A Secret Keeper?" Wizgiz paused before saying more, "The don't exist anymore."
"I know." Faragonda spoke her mind turning trying to make sense of it all.
Thalia groaned and turned in the bed her whole body shook. This made everyone stop thinking at turn to look at Thalia it was clear that she was waking up. They watched as her face cringed up and she clutched to the bed. She was having a nightmare.
The last thing Thalia remembered was Professor Griselda calling out to her. Then it all just disappeared, the room, the voice, Macy. All of it was gone. Replaced with a darkness that surrounded her and made her feel so empty and alone.
"Where am I?" She screamed out into the black. A cold harsh laughter answered her cry. A hologram like face appeared in front of her. It was Macy's face and she looked at Thalia with grinning eyes and spoke, "You are in the depths of your very own soul from where your imprisonment is beginning."
"Imprisonment?"
"I now have control of your body dear Thalia you won't be able to see anything but the darkness from now on until forever you will serve the shadow queen."
When the last syllable was uttered the face disappeared leaving Thalia in her new prison. She slowly sat down upon the cold floor of the darkness and sobbed into her arms. She was so sick of fighting against the darkness. She was sick of all the things that had happened.
Memories flooded her vision and poured out of her mouth like tears. She remembered her first day at alfea, her best friend Rose and her worst enemy, Crystal. She remembered the good times and the bad times. THe memories seemed to light up her body and fill it with warmth. 'At least I'll never be cold again' She thought.
It was night-time when a scream had awoken Dufour from her silent slumber next to Thalia's bed. She had not left Thalia's side since the other denied her. She was trying to stay strong but it was to hard all these emotions had been bottled up inside her and then when Palladium tried comforting her she had burst.
Dufour jumped up suddenly alert. She listened for any more screams but none came. She looked around and realized maybe she was h earing things that were not there.
A faint blue light flew through the wall causing Dufour to look up. It was the same light that came out of Thalia. Dufour got up from her post and walked towards the light but the closer she got to it, it flew away. She ran towards it but it went through the window.
She turned around and ran out of the school and through the pink gates. She followed the blue light out into the forest of Alfea. THe light stopped and Dufour approached. She was so focused on the light that she didn't see the shadows moving. She was grabbed from behind and was pulled into the light.
Once again thanks for reading I hope that you like how this story is going so far and I hope you like Thalia's journey so far. I'm excited to see where this goes. If you want or if it's your thing you can review or P.M. me
