Chapter 2
I awoke to a small sob and a cold stone room. “Elliot?’ I said, slowly getting up “Lu-Lucinda!!’ said Eliot with a sob “I thought you were dead!’ and he got up and hugged me. “Elliot… where are we? I said worried and I quickly jammed my hand into my pocket ‘It’s still there’ I said under my breath and I wrapped the small pouch around my fingers. ‘Where are the others?’ I asked ‘Lucinda… your face’ he said, looking horrified. I saw a shard of glass and snatched it off of the ground and looked at my face. I see now why he thought I was dead. There I saw the same girl I see every day. The girl with orange hair and silver eyes but his time… she had a long, deep, bloody cut alongside her face, starting at her forehead and ending at her cheekbone. ‘Oh my god’ I said dropping the glass shard and looking over and Elliott. Horrified I now realized what was happening. ‘Oh God Elliot’ I said going over towards him and hugging him as tight as I could hoping that we could share body warmth. ‘We’ll be ok’ I said to him ‘we’ll we ok’‘Get up!’ said a man in a cruel voice as he opened the thick concrete door. ‘I said GET UP!’ he said once more ‘I know what I am and I know my place. Yours’s is below me witch and werewolf scum. Obey those who are greater that you and GET UP’ ‘Oh really?’ I retaliated ‘well then… if humans are so special then… can they do this?’ and with a devilish smile, I flashed a bright red light and said ‘Buraindo!’ and Elliot and I ran past him and headed for the other cells. ‘Quick, Elliot! I blinded him temporarily so that we can escape so, RUN!’ I practically screamed. I took his keys from the guard’s pocket and we sprinted down the hall opening each cell and giving each of the prisoner’s orders to follow us. ‘Come on and get out! We’re gonna help you escape!’ I said. Moments later I had what looked like and army of witches, vampires and werewolf kids. ‘We have to look for Dimitri, Madeline, Ty and Violet!’ I told Elliot, ‘well, we have 20 more cells to go so let’s hurry!’ after we opened all the cells we found the rest of the gang along with another witch named Manon. She had white long strait hair and yellow cat eyes ringed with gold. ‘You can use me’ she said catching up to the group as we made our way out of the prison. ‘I can read minds. Find me a guard and we can free the parents as well. We’ve only cleared the top floor. That’s where they keep the children. We need to find the parents of these poor kids’ she said ‘got it ‘I replied ‘we came across at least four dozen guards and I’ve stunned them all temporarily. We can use one of them'
We found a guard lying on the floor and Manon went up to him and looked at him with her cat eyes and the guard’s eyes burst open… he had no pupils. ‘Tell me where you keep the parents of all the children’ she said, her eyes glowing fiercely. ‘I-In the cells’ he answered. He sounded out of breath ‘I know that you stupid guard!’ the guard was screaming now and blood started to pour out of his mouth. ‘I-I-I’m sorry just Please stop the pain! PLEASE’ He was crying now ‘then tell me… WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?’ Manon said merciless ‘Manon stop!’ I said but then I was blasted away by a force too strong to block. ‘TELL ME WHERE THET ARE!’ She said once more. ‘THEY ARE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. NOW PLEASE STOP THE PAIN’ the guard pleaded. ‘MANON STOP IT ‘I said dragging her away from the dyeing guard. ‘As you wish.’ She said’ ‘I got the information so let’s go.’
Everyone sprinted towards the second floor with Madeline, Dimitri, Ty, Violet, Eliot and I in the front, egger to once again, see our parents. There were few guards along the way but when there was, as soon as he or she laid eyes on Manon, they fell fast asleep. We told all the children to find the cells that that’re parents are in and stay there until we find the keys to the prison cells. While we were looking for the keys a guard spotted me and took me by my hair and said’ why aren’t you in your cell?’ And he slowly tightened his grip on my long orange hair. ‘Stop it!’ I screamed and he kept on pulling, pulling and pulling. With an evil smile he said ‘so are you gonna tell me why you aren’t in your cell? Are you looking for mommy and daddy you big bab-‘and he stopped mid-sentence looking horrified, he dropped to his knees and fell to the floor stunned. There standing with her hands on her hips was Madeline. ‘Maddie!’ a said and went over to hug her.’ Thank you so much! What did you do to him?’ ‘Well… let’s just say that I kicked him in the place where boys don’t like to be kicked.’ She said with a mischievous smile. ‘Found the keys! ’ said Violet as her voice echoed through the hall. ‘Great!’ said Tyson ‘Let’s get down to work’
All the prisoners cheered and cried tears of joy as they were reunited with their families. We managed to round up all of the guards and put them in the cells that were meant for us. Tyson found his parents, Maddie found hers, Elliot found his and Demetri found his Father. Violet, Manon and I however, could not find our parents. In fact, we were the only ones ‘Any luck?’ I asked Violet ‘no… you?’ she replied ‘no sign of them.’ I said worried. ‘Um Lu-Lucinda....’ said Elliot in his usual quiet tone of voice ‘yeah?’ I replied and he handed me a file and it read:
ATTACK REPORT
VICTORIA AND DANIEL BLOODTHIRST ATEMTED TO ESCAPE BY INFECTING ON OF THE GAURDS. ANOTHER GUARD SAW THIS IN ACTION AND THEY WERE BROUGHT OUT IN BROD DAYLIGHT TO BE BURNED. VICTORIA AND DANIEL BLOODTHRUSE DIED AT EXACALLY 12:12 pm.
I looked at Violet and she dropped to the floor in tears and she said, weeping ‘k-k-keep reading.’
I continued:
SAFFRON SPELLWIK ATEMPTED TO ESCAPE AND TO FIND HER DAUGHTER. SHE WOULD HAVE PREVAILED UNTIL OFFICER ROBERT SMITH THRETENED MISS. SPELLWIK TO MURDER HER DAUGHTER LUCINDA SPELLWIK IF SHE ATTACKED HIM. SAFFRON WAS BROUGHT TO THE EXECUTION ROOM. SHE WILL BE EXECUTED AT EXACLY 6:00 PM.
I dropped the file and let its papers scatter, I didn’t care. I looked at the nearby clock and sprinted down the hall past the happy families. They stopped to say thank you but I ran past them because in exactly 15 minutes, I would never have a family again.
