Chapter 5: the decision

Tina sat on her window cell, looking at the purple gem that coated the room's walls in lavender. Tina had been thinking all day, what she should do, what she should say, she had ignored Daniek all day. "So, your decision?" The woman from eariler appeared behind Tina, who held the gem in her hand, the girl was still trying to decide, it was 11:50 at night. She had 10 minutes left to decide. "Ah, using all your time? Wise, Tinitha." The woman sat on the chair in the corner of the room. Tina then stood, and faced the woman "hm?" The woman puzzled. Tina started to chuckle, which turned to laughter. Tina then stopped, and put the purple gem necklace on, she growled "teach me how to use it." The woman then stood, "your decision?" The white dressed woman walked up to the girl, trying to put a hand to her shoulder, Tina slapped it away. "Didn't you hear me?!" Tina yelled "teach me how to use it!" Anger grew in the girl's body, the purple gem started to glow, the light wasn't light at all, but shadow. Dark, cold shadow corrupted the room, turning the walls pitch black, growing thick black vines that blossomed blood red flowers, that began to flood the room in black sludge. Tina snapped out of her funk, and looked around the room, panic stricken. The woman laughed, despite the fact her pearly white dress was getting stained with black. "How lovely! How lovely!" She chanted "you really ARE serious about this! Oh glorious! Oh wondrous!" The woman called out, picking one of the flowers off a vine that covered the door. "Let me help you change, my little apprentice." The woman threw the flower at Tina, turning to a black, ripped dress, with dark red seems and a feathered scarf. It attached itself to Tina, a perfect fit, the girl grimaced. "Not your style? Fine" the woman snapped her fingers, it turned to a jumpsuit, with dark red highlights, almost like a spy outfit. Tina chuckled "that's better, dresses arnt my thing." Tina then walked up to the woman, staring at the veil that covered the woman's eyes. "Show me." "Show you what? My eyes?" The woman laughed "mere mortals can't gaze into my eyes! It'll drive you mad." The woman warned Tina, who growled in return. "Then MAKE me mad! I'm already being driven to insanity, make the process go quickly!" Tina yelled, bracing herself for anything that might happen. The woman just sighed "your will is strong, Tinitha, I'll show you my eyes, only as a last resort." The woman then thought for a moment. "Tinitha, isn't your name a little too-" "your right, I should change it" Tina interrupted the woman, thinking as well. "Well, I have quite the name for you, if you'll accept it." The woman whispered to Tina, who smirked. "Tell me, I'm curious" she chuckled, the woman then opened her sharp-toothed mouth. "Draven" "what? Hm, I like that name, Draven.." Tina cackled "this is the dawn of a new age! The age of evil!" She announced, closing her curtains in her dark-stained room, the clock struck, 12:00.
