☆SCARLETT THE DAUGHTER OF LIGHTNING☆

Chapter IX: How to steal a dragons egg

Lightning, that's all I see clouds of stormy weather. "Hello," I called out. Suddenly, the cloud underneath me disappeared. Instead of seeing clouds anymore, I saw a ceiling. I tried to get up, but it felt as if I'd been hit by a brick. I brought all my strength up, focused my eyes, and there I saw a library. I'm in a freaking library.

In the back centre of the library, a lectern stood holding a book and quil, but the quality was written without a person writing maybe there's a ghost. By the storian is a man he turned and it was the headmaster "hello Hildegarde Beaudette to what do I owe the pleasure to the child of the storm" he greeted me Child of the storm? not a bad wring to it but regardless what he is talking about.

"I'm sorry, headmaster. I'm confused. What am I doing here?" I asked, walking up to the storian. "You tell me, but you've in truth have got perfect timing. The storian was just writing about you," he said intriguingly. Why would it be writing about me? "Me? but this isn't my story." I observed the storian but keeping a safe distance.

"You are a character and therefore a character in it. The storian calls you the child of the storm. I've seen what you can do. You're scared because of it." He knew my steps like everything we do."I'm not scared of what I can do. I know what I can do, " I lied.

"Don't play coy child and don't lie nevers lie evers tell the truth but I understand why you would. You have great power. Use it it'll aid you in the trial, " he reasoned, I suppose he's right. "Perhaps too great returning to my first question how did you get in here no student with the exception of the protagonist and antagonist of this tale has got in here" he asked.

But what caught my attention is the exception, "Agatha and Sophie? They were here?" I had realised what I said but it was too late "It seems you know this tale already smart girl but its time for you to leave" he waved his hands before I could say or infact do anything.

I woke up in a cold sweat, gripping my bed sheets. "Hildy, are you okay? we were going to wake you up, but you looked so peaceful, so we just left you be for a while," Lucy said while the fairies were touching up her hair.

"I had the strangest dream," I confessed. Daphne turned to me. "You too see, I told you, Gigi, it wasn't just me." she turned to Giselle, who rolled her eyes. Giselle, who we call Gigi, has grown to be more open and friendly to us she was shy at the start. Lucy, the same ball of sunshine and Daphne is starting to be a bit more immature like Lucy no thats impossible.

Before heading to breakfast, Lucy said she forgot her favourite butterfly comb, so I offered to pick it up in the groom rooms. As soon as I walked in, I saw Millicent looking very troubled. I asked her if she was alright. She looked at me "sorry Hildy I'm just. I don't know what to wear. I dont want to outshine Beatrix or Reena they might not be happy about it."

Is this girl actually for real push it down Hildegarde "what's wrong with wanting to shine you can wear whatever you want if they have a problem with that than they'll have to deal with it" I comforted her she looking taken back but nodded her head.

"Millicent, are you afraid of your friends or intimated by them?" I asked the timid girl "both yes please dont tell anyone evers are supposed to be brave like they are kind but I simply don't have the strength like Reena does I'm not as beautiful and can't speak my mind like Beatrix I'm just me"

I didn't expect that from her. She seemed so fragile almost like a deer she'd come to her breaking point. "Listen to me very carefully Millicent you can speak up. You have beauty and grace. You're brave enough to show that. That requires strength that you have. Forget what we are ever or never. We are all afraid of something, but we carry on as if it's a daily routine, and it is"
