The plan chapter 4

The plan chapter4

It was midnight. I grabbed a duffle bag at the far back of my closet, I field it with mini skirts, tank tops, blouses, and other clothes. I grabbed a white zip-up blouse with blue lining an a blue line across the chest. I zipped it up and slipped on a blue skirt. Then a blue bow in a side ponytail. I grabbed my keychain of three celestial spirit keys and hugged them. My heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to jump out and run away. I put the keychain onto my belt so I wouldn't lose them. Then I heard a knock on my door, I stood up and tiptoed to the door, I cracked it open to find Marco standing there with something behind his back. I waved him in. He stepped in and handed me a sleek black whip. "You need to be able to protect yourself if you run out of magic power. It's new it was for the horses but until then..." He smiled and gave me a thumbs up. "I'll go onto the look out the passage is in the kitchen it will lead you to the front gate." Right the passage I thought. It was built for a fire exit, but I don't think I need to use it exactly for that. I slowly walked over to my duffle bag and picked it off the ground I paced back to the door. My feet felt so heavy, like they were bolted to the floor I looked back to my room. Marco stared at my scared face. "Goodbye." I whispered to my room, I kissed two of my fingers then touched the door way.

I was in the writing room and drew a book from a bookshelf. The shelf moved and a secret entrance opened. The entrance was pitch black, cobwebs covering the sides. I took a deep breath, Marco still by me. He went in ahead of me, then turned and waved me in. But all I could see was his hand it was too dark to see anything else. I stepped into the shadows and shuffled through the blackness. I shivered as I followed Marco, the only thing I could here was mine and his footsteps. Until he came into a stop I slammed into his back, forcing me to the ground. "What, is it a dead end?" I asked nervously. I squinted my eyes finally adjusting to the lighting. He turned around something in his hand, it was long and thin from what I could see atleast. He pushed me down to the ground. I freaked , letting a shriek out. He covered my mouth with his warm hand, that scared me even more. He flipped my onto my front and grabbed my hands. "You don't think I'll let you leave with my key, do you! And now I can have 3 zodiac keys!" I tried to kick him but it was hopeless. I was captured, and by one of those I trusted
