The School for Good and Evil

chapter 25: The school masters plan

     Rhian was not happy. His plan had failed. Halia had not unlocked her power and Sophie thought that she had found her true love. He knew that soon enough, he would have to ruin somebody's life.

"What do you see?"

"No questions,"

"Tell me what you see,"

"You will have to make a decision," August said. "You will have to choose between two,"

"Between," Rhian demanded.

"Halia or Sophie," August reapplied. "One will destroy you, the other will cost you your soul. If you choose her, you will lose the thing most important to you."

Rhian knew that Halia was going to be his undoing. That night, he visited Sophie's mirror.

"Stay away!" Sophie cried, holding a moldy pillow in front of her face.

"I'm not here to hurt you Sophie," Rhian cooed. "I'm here to help you."

"Help me with what?" Sophie asked.

"To help you reach your full potential," Rhian gave her a smug smile. "Your friends are holding you back. It's time to embrace your true self. Let me help you," Rhian reached his finger out and touched the cold glass, his finger tip glowing a bloody red. Sophie hesitantly reached her finger out, meeting his finger on the glass. Sophie sighed with relief. A large clump of hair fell out.

"Sophie, it's okay, you're okay." Halia soothed. Sophie had been having nightmares ever since the night of the Trial. She had been under so much stress that her hair had been falling out.

"He promised me,"

"Who?"

"The man in the mirror," Sophie could barely get the word out. "He said that he would help me."

"Shhh. Sophie, you need to rest," Halia thought that Sophie had just dreamt the man in the mirror up. Sophie had been getting warts and Halia had to stay with her all the time because she wouldn't stop screaming.

"How is ooh-" Agatha winced as she saw Sophie's disheveled form. She looked worse than how Agtha looked in Gavaldon. As Halia looked at Agatha, she noticed that she looked, well, pretty. Her raven black hair looked like a shiney crow feather, her big, bug eyes looked like a gorgeous chocolate brown, her milky white skin looked smooth and soft, her lips were curved up and they looked like they were shining.

"What?" Halia shook out of her trance and realized she had been staring at Agatha. She looked over at Sophie and saw her, still gazing at Agatha's flawless face. Halia gasped. As the villain got weaker, they're nemesis got stronger. Agatha was Sophie's nemesis. Sophie wasn't just having nightmares, she was having nemesis dreams. Halia left Dami with Sophie and Agatha and went straight to professor Dovey.
