As we were walking trough the hallway, Flora reached for my hand. I smiled at her and she did the same.
"I heard you were... at a funeral today. Hope it's nothing serious." I said and she sighed, then looked at me with a bigger smile then before.
"Oh It really was serious." she said and giggled.
"You, um... don't really seem sad. And I'm glad because of that, but... I guess my question is, who died?"
"Really Helia? We don't see each other for two years and your first question is 'who died'?" she said and giggled.
"Well, you do seem oddly happy about it."
"I guess I am." she said and pulled my hand so we would stop walking. She got close to me and she started whispering something in my ear.
"That little bastard that ruined my life killed him self a few days ago. Today was the happiest day I had in two years. I finally fell safe now."
she said and moved away from me.
"I know it sounds selfish, but..."
"Sounds just about right." I said and we continued walking, until we got to Ethans office.
"Oh, Helia." he said as he saw me. He stood up and we hugged.
"You are Mirandas girl?" he asked while looking at my Flora.
"I sure was." she said and smiled.
"Before we continue the chit chat, I just have one urgent question: Tecna and Timmy told me to come and talk to you. They mentioned something
about you knowing where I could get hired in this town?" he stood there, motionless, but just few a few seconds, and then he smiled at me.
"I know just the perfect place for you." he said and I nodded, waiting for him to tell me already.
"Room 255." he said and I was kinda... confused.
"... Wait." I said as I started to understand. Did he just... tell me I could work here?! I thought to my self.
"So here is an open spot for me?" I asked with the happiest voice I had.
"Sure thing. First floor. On the left. Go an check out what could be your office." he said and I nodded. I started running out of there, while
grabbing Floras hand in the process. As we rush over there, we passed a room we knew well... I stopped walking and then Flora did the same.
"Helia what hap..." she started the question, but she understood. As I was looking at the doors, I felt so much sadness and anger inside.
I felt like I was burning. The doors were just the normal doors, but...
"Was this..." Flora asked and I nodded.
"This was Laylas room." I said and a tear fell from my cheek. I wasn't the type to cry. But I just had to. How could I hold the tears in?
I heard Flora crying behind me as well.
"Forget the office. We can see it later. Let's go to the others... I really cant look at this." I said and she nodded, then grabbed my hand
and we walked back to 'our room'.
"And then, as we saw Davey Havok RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, while he was singing MY FAVORITE SONG called... what the hell happened to you guys?!"
Angela stopped talking and looked at us.
"Never mind. Continue the story." I somehow I make the words.
"Never mind? You two look like you've been crying. That is not a 'never mind'!" she added and I got annoyed.
"Could you please drop the subject? We can talk about it later." I said as I saw Flora almost tearing up again.
"Sure." she said with a sigh and we all sat down.
"Well, we all finished our stories now. So, what are we going to do now?" Sky asked and we all stayed quiet.
"Helia..." Flora pulled the sleeve on my shirt, calling me. I turned to her and she lightly smiled.
"Remember the secret doors on the 3rd floor? We never opened them." she said memories filled my head.
"Oh yeah, that's right! I never opened it either!" Riven said as he was looking at the sealing.
"How about we go and look at it now?" Bloom asked and smiled. I though that might be a good idea. We all did, I could see it. So we did what
we wanted. We all got out of 'our room' and went up the 3rd floor... As we all stood in front on the doors, we all noticed-
"Hey the doors are not locked anymore!" Stella yelled as if we were stupid enough not to notice.
"Are you sure we should do this?" Flora asked and I nodded.
"If we leave this place, not knowing what is up here, would it bother you?" I asked and she made her 'wait I'm thinking' face'.
"Me too." I said without waiting for her answer, as I opened the doors. Metal stairs just fell down from the doors, as the doors were on the
sealing. I looked back at the rest, and they all nodded. I started getting up. As I did, I took my phone out and turned on the flash on it so
I could see. As everyone got up there, we all looked around.
"Oh my god! My iPod!" Tecna yelled as she took it from one of the boxes.
"I think this is the place where they kept our stuff. You know, the stuff that we were not allowed to have with us?" Timmy said and we nodded.
"I totally forgot they even took my things." Stella said as she took her phone out too. After about 15 minutes of looking, I found a box in the
corner. That must be my box, I though. As I got on the floor next to it and as I opened it...
"Oh my god." I whispered and everyone turned their phones at me.
"This..." I couldn't speak.
"What is it Helia?" Tyler asked and I froze again.
"Oh spit it out." Riven said and I sighed.
"This was Laylas box."
