Circe Riddle (Book 3)

Chapter 37

TW: Mentions of death, daggers, blood, sorta self harm, choking

(Circe's pov)

We all tried to be as quiet as possible as we sneaked down the hallway, I made it so my heels didn't make any sounds. Theodore stopped us "What about Enzo?". I thought for a moment before I nodded my head and waved my hand for them to follow me.

We continued weaving through the hallways until we came to his room. I tried to open the door but it was locked. Indu stepped in front of me and had the door opened in a second. Enzo was inside on his bed. He looked up at us and slowly walked to us. Suddenly there was shouting from the end of the hall, guards "We need to go" I called out. Enzo looked very confused but we had no time to sit around. Theodore pulled him out of the room and pushed him down the hall in the opposite direction from the guards and we all took off running. Enzo had enough sense to start running too.

After we had been running for a while my feet were starting to hurt and I almost twisted my ankle and fell but Indu grabbed me. "Stupid heels" Indu quickly helped me out of the heels then I grabbed them and we continued running. The hallway came to a split and the boys started going in the wrong direction. "It's this way" I called out to them before they followed me.

Right as we got to the side exit 20 or so guards surrounded us. I was about to do something but then there was a blinding blueish-white light that filled the room and when it was gone all the guards were on the floor. I looked at Indu, whose eyes were still glowing the same blue-white "When did you learn that?"

"I'll tell you later" She grabbed my hand and we all went out the exit and were finally able to apparate to the astronomy tower.

I was breathing very heavily and dropped to the ground and just sat there. The others looked at me worried but I put my hand up to say I was ok.

Theodore and Mattheo left to take Enzo to the hospital wing because they didn't know what was wrong with him and Indu and Thomas stayed with me. Indu sat next to me "How are you feeling?"

"Ok, better than I have in a while. There's still a few blank spaces of things I don't remember, but I'm hoping they will come back with time"

"And if they don't"

"Then I will have you guys tell me. So how long are you staying?" I asked, changing the subject

"However long you like" She smiled

I gave her a side hug. "Then you're going to be here for a long time. Are you going back to America for summer?"

"I mean, unless you want me to stay with you, I have nowhere else to stay"

"Trust me, you don't want to spend the summer at my house"

"Hmm. Oh, I forgot to mention, were roommates"

"Ohw, I liked having a private room" I said before I started laughing

"I saw you still have the dreamcatcher I made you"

"Yep, it actually helps tremendously"

"Your welcome"

"Speaking of dreams, I'm tired" Indu got up and gave me a hand to pull me up. I turned towards Thomas "Happy new year" I smiled before apparating to my dorm with Indu.

My dorm looked like it had gotten a little bit bigger and there were two beds now. I changed out of my dress, took a shower, and got ready for bed. I fell asleep the second my head hit the pillow.

When I woke up my whole body was sore and I had a bad headache. I told Indu that she could go down to breakfast without me, it took a lot of convincing but she eventually left me.
