With you forever, Maybe

12

I opened my eyes to find myself all tied up, lying in one the bathrooms, as I recalled what happened. My mouth was all covered up and could not move. A person had disguised himself as Eloria and rattled me in here, leaving me unconscious.

"HEEPP!" I tried to scream from under the snake rope as it held itself tighter around me mouth as I gave out a muffled scream in pain. The more sound or movements I make, the tighter it will get, thus can choke me to death.

I was laying there helpless as the bathroom door struck open and came a shriek, "Vess!!"

Eloria had come barging in with caramel at her feet, which reassured me that she was the real one this time.

"Stay still." She said in panic moving towards me as the snake coil untied me and charging at Eloria hissing at her taking the shape of a literal snake. Caramel came forward and charged at the snake basting it off into bits as I revived my wand from its throat, still shivering.

"What happened? Who did this to you!" shaking the haunted me to senses as I asked her gawking nervously into her eyes, "Where's Wilburt?! Wilburt! Where is he?"

"Calm down first, we need to cover you." She said gesturing at my torn dress from where I was tied,

"Benedict! Come inside! Quick!" panicking she called benedict who had been standing outside the girl's washroom, startled at the site of what he just witnessed, "What happened here!?"

"Give me your coat!" Eloria said hushing him.

He looked at me giving it without hesitation. I stood up on my shaking knees as I repeated but slightly conserved this time, "Now, where is he?"

Eloria glanced at benedict and replied, "He was looking for you and then wandered off somewhere." I rushed to the exit as soon as I heard this.

"Verylssia stop! You can't go in there. We will tell our professors." suggested Eloria taking me by my arm.

"They themselves don't have the guts to go in there!" I yelled at her pulling my arm away from her, "And he is my familiar and hence my responsibility. I am going for him, you don't have to follow."

"But I will have to and you know it, so stop giving off heroic speeches." She replied sarcastically, mocking me, looking at the ground for some moment.

"Benedict you go and inform Headmaster Orlandous ONLY, about us."she commanded Benedict ignoring his pleas of coming with us.

We ran off into the forest as it got darker and darker. Guess there was always a path open to the dark-nebullic world from here, or someone opened it. We saw a few shattered trees and giant footsteps on the ground as I ran off towards a wand,

"It's his! It's his wand! He...golem..." I started panicking and shaking tremendously.

"Hey! Hey! He's alright. He's alright. Let's follow these giant footsteps." said Eloria comforting me as I got up tucking his wand and following the path.

I opened my eyes to find my arms spread as I flew in midair. Looking around I was in a, what looked like a forbidden dark room, groaning slightly.

"Oh! So you have awoke." came a strikingly familiar voice from the shadows as Mr. Segast walked from behind the peculiar shiny stones emitting purple lights from the cracks.

"Mr. Segast!!" I shouted awestruck.

"Oh yes, Mr. Wilburt." He said in his usual calm tone which sounded much evil now, as he gave me sharp piercing smile.

"What are you doing!?" I shouted struggling to set free from the invisible manacles that held me up, "What do you want!"

"Oh! Seems like you have not realized your true potential. Well it's easier for me this way. Let me show you." He walked back disappearing into shadows to bring something back with him.
