Here's the next chapter for you all. I'd like to wish you all a Happy Holidays and a great New Year be safe and if you're going to drink don't drive! Ok so I just should let you all know I changed the name of the girl that was in the homecoming because I had written the chapters and forgot her name and so I made a new name and I like the name I have for her now better so just a little warning so there's no confusion later.
Spencer woke the next morning feeling refreshed she didn't want to open her eyes maybe it was all a dream. But feeling the silk sheets she knew it was very real. She was trying to go back to sleep when the door opened bringing in a ray of morning light.
"Miss Spencer what would you like for me to bring you for breakfast?" She heard a timid voice ask.
"Can you make me some sausage links and same apple juice and some toast with butter please?"
"Do you want some fruit miss?"
"Anything but melons," She mumbled into the pillow.
After a while the door opened again and she smelled food.
"Here it is miss," The elf said with a smile as she put the tray on her bed. Spencer looked at the spread before her it was lovely.
"Thank you Tabby,"
"Do you want anything else miss, may Tabby bring you some coffee or tea?"
"No thank you I'm fine for now,"
Once she finished her breakfast she stood and stretched. Thankfully she didn't have to sleep in her school clothes since she put pajama pants and an over sized shirt in her school bag for gym. Spencer walked out of the room and down the hall trying to find the library again. She opened a door and saw an empty room with a trunk in it. Weird, she thought walking into the dusty room. Curiosity overwhelmed her as she stepped closer to the trunk it shook... ok she had to see what was inside it. She knelt in front of it and unclasped it before it flew open and someone jumped out of it as she fell back onto her ass. Spencer crawled back as the figure stepped out into the light.
It was one of her old friends from about a year ago. She had messy blonde hair that was soiled with dirt her arms and neck had clear bruises on them. She was wearing a dress from homecoming on and her tall heels.
"J-jenna,"
"Why," The figure said standing over her. "Why didn't you stop him!"
"I-I didn't know, I'm sorry."
"You just left me there with him! You left me there to die you stupid bitch!" She yelled.
"I-I'm sorry." Spencer said her eyes stinging with tears.
"Sorry isn't good enough," Jenna screamed before jumping on her. Spencer screamed at the top of her lungs as this thing attacked her.
Lucius heard a blood curdling scream from a few rooms over he stood quickly. What did she get into now? He growled in his head as he ran toward the scream. He entered the room and saw Spencer on the ground being attacked by a girl he knew what it was and rage flowed through him. He stepped into the room with his wand in hand and yelled the spells he needed to get it off of her and back into the box.
Spencer had sat up and looked around before bursting into tears.
"Oh god," She sobbed not caring who saw. Lucius walked over to her and she threw herself onto him crying into his chest.
"It's alright it was just an illusion,"
"What the hell just happened?" She sobbed.
"It was a boggart,"
"What the fuck is a boggart?"
"It's a shape shifter that will change shapes to your greatest fear," He said soothingly. "Come let's get out of this room."
Lucius helped her out of the room and onto a couch in the library. Soon she started to calm down.
"Who was that girl?"
"It's a friend of mine who went missing last year after homecoming, she and her boyfriend were having one of their fights and I didn't think too much of it and I was tired so I left. Oh god it's all my fault," She cried leaning into her lap. Lucius didn't know what to say to her words she felt so guilty about leaving her friend while he had killed and tortured people for years and didn't feel an ounce of guilt. He didn't know what to say to her.
"Listen to me," He said soothingly. "It wasn't your fault, you had no control over anything that happened that night." Lucius tipped her chin up so he could look at her face. Her eyes were blood shot and they were a dark green. Her cheeks were flushed as tears streamed down her face.
"So many people have said that to me but I still feel guilty, I mean no one knows what happened to her and I just think she's... you know,"
"Say it," He growled into her ear.
"I can't,"
"You need to say it,"
"I think that she's... dead." Spencer said finally admitting her worst fear.
"There do you feel better?"
"Not really,"
"Well admitting it to yourself usually makes it easier to accept facts if she is dead and it makes the reunion better if there alive."
"How do you know that?"
"Last year my son was missing and I ran myself ragged looking for him after sometime I had to accept the fact that he might be dead and then I found him and he was alive. I had never been happier to see him,"
"It's been a year she's dead, I know she is I need to stop thinking like a child and accept it."
"You don't know anything until a body shows up,"
"I guess you're right," There was a long silence as he studied her. "I'm gonna go walk around outside." She said getting up and leaving him. After she left he felt strange. It amazed him how bad she felt about her friend's disappearance and possible murder. He had never known a person with that much humanity. It worried him.
"Master," He heard Tabby say.
"Yes,"
"Miss Spencer wants you to join her outside."
He stood and walked out to the garden to see the young woman with a bird in her hand. The small bird was eating something out of her hand. If she was in some decent clothes then the sight would've been beautiful. She reached out her hand to him and he stepped closer to her slowly.
"Have you ever fed birds before?"
"No,"
"Here hold out your hand in like a cup,"
"Alright," He said doing as she instructed. She pulled out some bird seed and put it in his hand.
"Now stay still this will feel funny," Spencer said as she moved her hand closer to his. The thought if this filthy bird on his hand made him sick. "It's alright I used to do it all the time back home. Trust me ok." The small bird jumped onto his thumb and started eating the seed out of his hand.
"Last year if anyone told me to do this I would've killed them on the spot," He said with a smirk. He looked down at her she felt his eyes pierce hers.
"Well like it or not you can't kill me," She joked.
When she said she didn't know how true it was. In their little space of earth that moment was perfect... neither of them knew what was going on outside of it.
Back at the Montgomery house Mr. Montgomery paced through the kitchen when he heard the door open and heels clicking down the hallway.
"Charles what did our daughter do now? I mean you called me in the middle of the night I spent twelve hours on the damn air plane I had to leave my family behind to come to London because you can't discipline your daughter." His ex-wife said loudly. He opened his mouth to answer but she held up her hand. "You know what forget it where is she I'll deal with this myself."
"Cassandra, Spencer is gone."
"Gone where?" She snapped.
"She's missing our daughter never came home last night and her phones off."
"Great you let her run away,"
"No I didn't let her she went to school and never came home."
"So she let herself get kidnapped,"
"No she got kidnapped or something I don't know what happened to her."
"Great she should've just come to live with me this would've never happened."
"Oh of course not she would've been institutionalized,"
"At least we would know where she is, now if you don't mind I have to call my husband if I'm going to be staying here for a while him and Jessica might as well be here with me too. Then I'm going to call the press."
"Fine," He said before sighing and rubbing his temples all he wanted was to find his daughter.
Well that's it for now let me know what you think I love reading your comments.
