Chapter 7

Sarah's body hit the ceiling of the room, everyone else was frozen in shock. I was also too. I could see Sarah's eyes were closed so she was still asleep.

"Ethan, do something," I whispered to him.

"I don't know what to do!"

She was bashed around the walls of the room like some invisible beast was grabbing hold of her. Her body was thrown onto a desk which of course broke all of the legs and then violently floated up in the air and spun around like a propeller. She was thrown against the wall one last time before laying there unconscious.

"Sarah!" I shouted running up to her. All the kids in the detention room looked shocked. She layer there for a few seconds until she woke up eyes wide open and gasping.

"Okay, I think I know what's happening," Ethan said.

The five of us walked out. Sarah was still a bit woozy and Ethan and I had to carry her by the shoulders. Benny was able to used a memory erase charm on everyone in the classroom. We finally got out of the school.

"So where are we heading," Rory asked.

"My house," Benny said.

Rory grunted in frustration.

"So what's happening, what's causing the nightmares?" I asked to Ethan.

"I maybe over exaggerating here but I think we opened up a portal to the underworld."

"The underworld?"

"Yeah, you know in greek mythology there's an underworld filled with all sorts of horrible creatures."

"Yeah, but what do they want here?"

"To impend the world into eternal torture."

"So, how do we get help?"

"We got to go to Benny's house so be prepared of yelling."

We walked a couple of blocks which took longer than we thought, try having to drag an exhausted girl with you. We got to the house and Benny opened it up and invited us in.

"Benny, why are you home so late?" said Mrs. Weir A.K.A. Benny's grandma.

"We have a problem," Benny said.

"What's wrong with Sarah?"

"We need to take her to the secret room."

The secret room is the place where we went when we were in a situation with the black church's knight.

"Please tell me what's going on," Mrs. Weir said.

"We need to open the door."

A flash of red light came out of Benny's palm and it hit the nearby fireplace causing it to turn. Behind it was a passageway. We walked in and I set Sarah down on the couch. Mrs. Weir closed the door behind us.

"Okay, will you please tell me what's going on?" she asked.

"Just promise me you won't be mad," Benny said.

She just gave a stern look, not something I would trust.

"Well, me may have accidentally opened a portal to the underworld and all of its creatures are escaping and hurting people in their dreams. Also an impending apocalypse is coming."

I was waiting to be hit, but she didn't.

"Are you kidding me! How could you do that? Out of all the things you've done this has to be the worst!"

"So, what can we do to stop it?" I asked.

"Right now, nothing, the entire human race will go to shreds, I read in an old book that the power of man's mind was so strong it would take over the world."

"Really, there's nothing we can do?" Ethan said.

"That's right, you opened the portal and it can't be closed unless you go there and manually close it, but that won't stop the end of the world."

"That's it, we just have to close it," I said.

"Don't get your hopes to high, your chances of surviving that are 0.00000001%."

"Has anyone survived doing this?"

"Yes, only one. Hermes the greek god."

"Please tell me hermes is real!"

I had to ask with all the stuff I've seen.

"Only a few people have ever seen him and I haven't so it's a mystery."

"There has to be a way!"

"Well, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. You can't do anything either, Cody. This is way too dangerous. We just have to wait for the end to come, I know it's hard to think about."

"Do you know what? No, I'm going to close that portal," I said.

"Please don't fool yourself," Mrs. Weir said.

"Why? I've done so much stuff here in Whitechapel this'll be a piece of cake."

"I don't know, you have to know what you're getting into."

"It's my fault for opening the portal so I want to help," said Benny joining in.

"Benny, no! I'm not letting you go I can't stand losing you."

"Grandma, let me go, It'll be okay."

"I'm joining them too," said Ethan.

"So am I!" Rory chimed in.

Sarah got up from the couch relieved from exhaustion.

"I'm going too, just to make sure they stay safe."

"I can't believe you. You kids are crazy!"

"Trust me, there will be a lot more where this comes from," I said.

"So where do we get started?" said Benny.

"Right now, we may have to go to the library to check the greek mythology section," Ethan said.

"Don't worry, I have my phone with me," I said taking it out.

I went to safari and searched the underworld.

"It says here that a portal to the underworld can only be closed by magic, a powerful dark magic that can be done by two or more people depending. And creatures of the underworld have to feast off living victims to survive."

"Does it say what kind of spell?" Benny said.

"Benny, it won't work in the first place. You're the only spellmaster in the group and we need more than one."

"How about I work on a cloning spell."

"Do you have one?"

"Yes, but it's a level 3 spell, I'm a level 1."

"Just try okay, I'm going to do more research."

We were only in the secret room for a half hour, once I got home I headed straight for my room to do research, in the middle of it I did the most stupidest thing possible, I fell asleep.
