Admitting to the truth
It's lunchtime. I promised Sonic and the other teachers I'd meet them in Miss Rose's classroom. Shadow said that some other teachers will be there too. But I can only hope that if everything works according to plan, I will reclaim my kingdom from Yaros and the Void.I knock on the door to the classroom, and a yellow fox with two tails is the first I see when he opens the door.
"Hi," I say.
"Hi. You're Hayley right?" he asks me.
"Yes. Yes I am."
"We've been waiting for you." As I walk in, I see the others there too.
"All right, what's this about?" I ask.
But none of them can answer my question. Because we hear a voice fill the room.
"THIS is your way of revenge, Hayley?"
It sounds like Yaros.
"Oh you've done it now, fire-breath!" I shout.
"Oh have I?" Yaros says. "Perhaps you ought to tell your friends about your childhood nightmare?"
"THAT'S NONE OF THEIR CONCERN!" My voice is filled with anger and rage.
But mostly desperation.
I am desperate to strangle that fire-breath to death!
But his voice disappears. I look back at the others, and they all stare at me wide-eyed.
"Childhood nightmare?" Sonic asks me.
"You don't wanna know," I reply. "Believe me."
"If it has to do with why you're here, we have to know," Shadow adds.
I guess I can't hide it from them anymore.
I have to tell them.
I take a deep breath. "Okay. I won't tell..."
"What?" they all ask.
"But I can show," I add.
"How?" Rouge asks.
"Come in closer, you'll see." And they do.
Leaving just enough space in front of me to cast the spell.
"Sorry if this makes you feel sick," I say.
"How bad can it be?" Silver says.
I close my eyes, focusing only on my grip on my staff, and the connection I have to it.
And without warning, I mutter the spell.
"When I was the age of eight,
I met with a terrible fate.
Bring memory to reality,
And set forth the event,
In front of me."
