Truth or Dare surprise chapter 8
After we finished outside they got redressed into normal clothes, dried ourselves off and started to relax. Sadie was listening to some pop dance song, Zia was watching the fire flickering in the evening light, Roxy was writing in a notebook and staring out of the window carefully. When suddenly an alarm pierced the tranquil quiet of the Mansion. The magicians got up alert, pacing around the room carefully. Something was wrong, everyone could feel the tension rising as something fell off a shelf.
"I'm sure everything is fine." Roxy reassured but even she was tense, the alarm continued to wail unprovoked by the eerie noises. Zia glanced around nervously twitching. Alessa frowned looking around for the person who shattered the calm. Only one thought was echoing in everyone's heads "This is the calm before the storm" Was going through everyone's head. Caleb, Kelly, Dylan, Anna and Eric all got up and formed a circle around the Magicians and Roxy in defence.
"What do you think they want Anna?" Dylan asked getting out a revolver and the seven ribbons of Hathor that were previously tied around her waist inconspicuously. Anna paced, getting out a sword, bow and arrow kit. Kelly summoned a few grenades and handed them out. Whatever was coming was bad news.
Suddenly a voice started eerily saying something like it was a nursery rhyme. It was a high pitched tone and sounded somewhat feminine.
"Here comes the candle to light you to bed, here comes the chopper to chop off your head chop chop chop chop The last man's dead. Good Luck!" The voice called, echoing off the walls. Roxy recognised it, that was oranges and lemons her least favourite poem. It was the scariest poem she had ever read. Sadie shivered after hearing the words that had been in her dreams for 5 weeks now. Zia growled at the voice. The protectors whispered amongst each other in reassurance as the alarm finally stopped and the wailing retreated but ominous footsteps brought them back to the present.
Someone had entered the Mansion and whoever it was did not want a tea party, they were here for dark purposes. They wanted to spill some blood. The group moved forward carefully listening out for any sign of clumsiness but none showed, the killer was a graceful ballerina on the marble floor. The inmates came rushing down the stairs even them noticing something was wrong. A cold laughter was heard. Roxy reached into her jean pocket pulling out a thin disc that expanded into a backpack, dropping to her knees she searched ravenously through it. She cheered silently when she pulled out a dagger and orb that glowed with a curious pale light. "Magic orb of invisibility." She mouthed carefully shutting her backpack, she turned it back into the disc that she slid it into her pocket. Looking around, the inmates ran towards the protectors in fear.
Kelly and Anna nodded leading the children away from the suspense to their safe place. If anything happened to them the inmates would be sent back to their parents/adopters that was the black code protocol. Roxy breathed heavily remembering her life as it had been. She had been in Paris when Natalia visited, she was visiting relatives and friends that she had made. Two of these were Ally and Marion, two people of whom Roxy was quite fond of. They were good friends to her during the dark times. She whispered a silent good riddance to them as a cold tear fell down her face. Caleb comforted her as the clock ticking was the only sound they could hear. Alessa shivered, Cleo tried for a brave smile but not even the funniest person in the world could lift the dark impending darkness that will soon engulf them all.
The footsteps sounded closer, they were just outside the foyer when they stopped. The huddle was curious and Roxy pushed her way out of the hug. Carefully peering round, she met piercing violet eyes, long lashes and a tanned complexion. The girl only looked to be 17. She stepped from around the corner and aimed the gun right at Roxy. Her eyes swimming with tears she only spoke two words "I'm sorry." and with that she pulled the trigger. Everything fell into slow motion as the bullet left the gun, Roxy quickly turned so her hip was impended. That still hurt her, as she fell to the ground from the pain. All chaos broke through guns started shooting, shouts of anger were heard and the popping of magic filled the air. Roxy lay there and fumbled around for some paper as her arm kept leaking blood. Caleb was desperate to avenge Roxy and so were the others so they fought like demons during the battle. The battle was over quickly as the killers left the scene but not without success. They had managed to injure the new girl. Roxy had a letter for them clutched in her hand as she smiled weakly and handed It to Sadie, in another situation Sadie would brag and tell them she's the best. However here she smiled back and stood back quietly. Kelly and Anna came forward and told her of the cautions of using magic to heal a fracture. She nodded her approval and they started.
Roxy's POV
The first thing I felt was a powerful blast of pain, it was so bad I nearly passed out but luckily the magic loosened its tight grip. The magic was soon painful but bearable. Before I had done this, I was told either I'll survive, be cast into a coma or die. A darkness took over my vision as it was washed with red. This is it, I'm going to die. Goodbye World.
Kelly's POV
We finally finished our magic operation on Roxy, she had a pulse but was unresponsive to anything else. With a shaky breath we decided that she was in a coma. Anna and I shared a nod of affirmation. Facing everyone else we told them both the good and bad news.
"Roxy is alive that's the good news but the bad news is… She might not wake up!" We chorused. Caleb, Eric and Dylan nodded their heads, the Magicians stood silently like statues taking in the news. Sadie and Carter looked to each other and hugged while the aftermath of the battle hit us all in more than one way. I took a deep soothing breath and continued up to the room that we had locked the inmates in. They came flooding out, as they did, I broke. Tears streamed down my face as the memory of Roxy being impaled hit me over and over again. I sobbed relentlessly until Shelby walked over to me and with nothing else to do hugged me tightly. After my sobbing had subsided, I realised during that I had fell to my knees, inspecting the damage it wasn't too bad they had just been scraped by the hard floor. Shelby released me and gave a toothy grin, going off to join all her friends.
2 years later:
It had been two years since Roxy had been in the coma and today was the day we unplug her. All her friends and associates had showed up for the unplugging. After 10 days had passed we had told her friends and family that she was in a coma and we took her to a normal hospital. She was unreposive to anything and both us and the doctors had decided that she was to be unplugged today.
It was a quiet thing they unplugged her and her spirit disappeared skyward. We had met Ally and Marion today as well; they were nice but quite upset. She went quietly that's what matters, the battle was hard on all of us and we had moved on.
Caleb was fine but every now and then he would wipe at his eyes or smile fondly for no reason. Yet we had all done that at some point. She would now join her parents and aunts. All of us had tracked down the girl who had killed her and she pointed us towards a Jacob durance who we had killed mercilessly. We had no Mercy for a man who killed without reason and who killed a good person and great friend.
