Chapter 3: Whispers in the dark
I woke from a three hour nap. “Wake up.” The honey sweet voice echoed in my ears. It has been four months. “What is it?” I groaned. I opened my eyes to see that he looked paler then normal. “Come with me…” I just stood there awed by him. He turned in frustration. “Now!” It startled me and I followed unwillingly. We walked down the hollow hall way. He was far from me. He opened the massive door and held it open for me {such a gentleman}…grr…{Okay I’m shutting up}…sigh… The room was marble with Roman paintings, Catholic scripter’s , and gothic walls made of jet black marble. “It’s so beautiful.” I smiled taking in the fresh sent. “This where I go to study.” his voice was calm and frustrated. Jeez I wonder what the hells his problem? I thought spacing off. “Do you know any old tales?” Asked the Magician. I thought for a moment. “Um…” “Well?” “Yeah I know a few but I’m not completely sure. It all depends on what you like.” “Anything that will keep me from killing you in a second.” “Oh…Okay.” I thought of one from my childhood. “Long ago there was a great kingdom. In the kingdom lived angels and creatures of the light. The king whom ruled all those in his kingdom, saw darkness from the side of Hethal the Demon king. ’My Children’ cried the king raising his arms.” I stopped looking at The Magician. He was staring off towards the horizon. “I’ll tell you the next part tomorrow if that is alright my lord.” I said breaking his concentration. “Alexander.” He replied. I turned back to him in confusion. “My name is Alexander.” With that the doors opened. I walked around the castle and saw the most fascinating creatures I ever saw. “Mistress.” one called out to me. It was a gargoyle. “Yes? And you don’t have to call me mistress, just call me Coralie.” I smiled at the creature. “Come closer miss.” {Omgosh he is going to eat you!}…No… I obeyed the creature. “What is it?” “there is a way for you to escape this place.” my eyes widened. I had already grown found of the Magician--Alexander. But I did not want to stay in this god forsaken place. “Really?” I asked closing in. “Down the hall near the dungeons there is a secret door just the size of you. You can fit perfectly.” I thought for a moment. “Okay when would be a good time for me to you know sneak out?” The gargoyle looked about the massive hall. “two night-months from here.” “Thank you.” That night I laid down on the cold ground wishing that something would just poof out of no where and create a flippin fire. When my eyes closed I was in the mind of Lucian. He was worried and my father was of no help. “I’m going to get her out of there. Urgh why the hell can’t she be more careful?!” I shot up from the sounds of screams and crashing. “oh god.” {Alexander is mad}…Shhh… {Okay} anyway, Alexander stormed in and grabbed my upper arm pulling me out of the room. “Come, you are to stay in here is that understood!” with that he closed the doors and I ran to stop it. Punching the hard metal trying to get free. My hands were bloody. “Let me out!” I cried. I concentrated on what I wanted to see and I was there in the mind of Alexander. He was fighting Lucian. I came back screaming as the door opened. Another creature was standing there terrified. “What are you?” I asked looking dried out and bloody. “I am a nephrine. Here come child leave this place now.” I nodded and ran out. I ran for an hour without stopping or looking back. “Coralie?” Called out Lucian. I smiled. “Lucian.” I ran into his arms as we met up with each other. {Aw how cute.} WHAT DID I SAY?! {Sorry sorry sorry!} {laugh} grr face.
