You can't find me

Chapter 6

I'm woken up to the sound of horns blaring into the distance. As I stretch, I wince as my now stiff neck sends pain through my back. 

I groaned as the stiffness still didn't go away after I tried massaging it. 

Lavender who is now awake, looks towards me while grabbing a small bottle from her purse. 

"This should work. It helps relieve the muscles that are tightened up in your neck. But I must say, the peppermint smell is very strong. Your not allergic, are you?" she says with her one eyebrow raised.

"No, not at all! Thank you so much!" 

I take it from her hand and give her a smile but she's already staring off into black windows. 

As I open the bottle, the smell of peppermint effulges the whole place.

 I blink back tears as the green smoke of the oil reaches my eyes. I quickly dab the bottle in my palm a couple of times before closing it and placing it in my lap. While applying it to my neck, I hear Lavender start squealing. 

I look over to where she's seeing and my jaw drops as I catch sight of what probably is the academy. And not just that it was snowing?! We couldn't have traveled that far.

Lavender grabs my shoulder and shoves my face so close to the window that at this point my nose is touching the screen. She points towards something and I realize it's the freaking royale guards.

Their black gowns which are encrusted in obsidian cover their uniform but I can see the slightest of their dark purple collars peeking out of it. There is a black haze that shadows over their face, covering their identity. All of their hands are covered in dark green winter gloves which hold the staffs they must've gotten at their time in training. And last but not least the halo which covers their head... All colors of the kingdoms flag illuminate from it, making everyone know where their from and who they belong to. 

All of them marching to another section of the palace. 

I rustle Luca's hair and tell him we have reached but he doesn't wake up. 

At the same time we come to a stop and I swear I see a shadow emerge right next to Lavender. 

I can't tell whether I'm seeing things but the presence seems very strong. I glance towards Lavender who eyes widen and she starts swatting the air. 

This place is already giving me the creeps. 

"Luca?" I say a little louder but he doesn't hear me. I don't want anyone else to hear us if there is someone in the carriage right now. 

I shove him a little but as I do he slumps more into his seat. 

Panic twists my insides and  I jolt up from my seat. 

"What the hell!? Are you there? Get up please! This isn't funny!" 

I place my hand on his forehead and it's scorching. Even his face is paler. 

 Lavender forgets about whatever is there and place her hands on top of his and starts saying something under her breath. 

What in the world is going on?!

The carriage suddenly starts moving again and I jerk right next to Lav's seat. 

But there's no impact. 

As I look down I'm floating right above the fucking seat. FLOATING!

I try pushing myself off the seat but something stops me from moving. 

I open one eye and then the other and look down. Wait what? Why do I have 4 arms?

I raise two and the other two encircle around my waist. Horror grasps me after I realize their not mine. 

I scream.
