A Study On Destiny

48: We are Screwed

Ana stirred awake. Her eyes barely opening but as her arm tried to move it was struck. Bound by an unknown object. Her eyes shot open to see the insides of a random storage cupboard. Yet it was large enough to fit her whole group as they plotted beside Ana.

"What are we going to do?" Chris said now only in a corset and bloomers. "We can't find the Deans or professors anywhere,"

"We can't hold them off for long," Hazel told them guarding the door. She seemed to be looking for someone "they are too strong,"

"Oh we are so screwed," Naveen sounded from the side of the room.

"Oh please just because you were mid way through being screwed doesn't make this your problem," Chris told him "Your an Ever. You're not going to die. They purposely avoid you to try to kill us,"

"Yes but still we are still screwed," He said as his cheeks went a dark red colour. It was then Jay, Hester and Sophie entered the room.

"The Evers are helping but it's no use. We are still out numbered," Hester breathed trying to not sound out of breath. "How's your shoulder?"

"Much better thanks to this twink," Chris said thanking Naveen in her own way. He still managed to grow a darker shade of red.

Ana sat up examining the rope around her. It tied her hands behind her back and it attached them to a pole behind her. Ana knew it was some dodgy plumbing she could probably rip out of the wall in til she noticed something. The rope wrapped around her brought her knees to her chest tightly. She decided to use her magic as a simple solution. Oh this is going to be a piece of cake to get out of Ana thought. It was then Ana tried to conjure her magic but the rope glowed for all in the room to see. She paused not expecting the rope to glow, alerting the group she was awake. Each member of the group turned towards hers slowly as their conversations died down. They looked at her for a second before the Ever broke the silence.

"Good's rope. Those who are bound with it cannot be used their magic," Naveen stated crossing his arms attempting to look more scary.

Chris ran her dagger down Ana's face "not so fun now when your on the receiving end and very much outnumbered,"

"Get off of me you witch," Ana spat trying to wriggle free. Yet her voice didn't sound like her's. It sounded demonic, low, very fucking weird.

"Oh thank you that's a compliment I haven't heard that one in a while," Chris laughed before turning to the group who laughed back. Her head spun back around to face Ana "Now what's the plan from here? Wait the for the schoolmasters brother to save you?"

"To be honest I haven't gotten to thinking about a plan quite yet," Ana spoke truthfully as she rope glowed again as she tried to access her powers once more. Chris stood to speak with the group as Ana continued to try with annoyed yells in between, following with an occasional let me out.

"There is only one way out of here... we offer her as bate," Jay said immediately regretting what he had said. He placed his head in his hands.

"Then what? Ask him to give back the school?" Sophie chimed in sarcastically after fixing her hair. It was clear she had tried to savour the dress but failed slightly as a few scratches were etched into the skirt. "Like that's gonna work,"

"Lady Lesso would know what to do," Raven said cleaning off her double edged sword she found in the doom room.

"Yes but Lady Lesso isn't here right now, is she?" Chris rolled her eyes before running her hand across her face. Before huffing "It's the best plan we have,"

"He won't fall for it," Ana laughed "even if he does he'll set me free. Then what will you do? The cleanse will be carried out," yet after a chat with the writer the sentence left a new sour taste in the girls mouth. 

"Cleanse? Were being exterminated like mice?" Jay exclaimed "what the fuck guys? This is not ok,"

"What do you mean by cleanse?" Hester said kneeling down to the princesses level.

"Extermination. Villains no longer hold a place in the balance. For the world to be pure, all villains must die," Ana had started to think about was coming out of her mouth. This was ridiculous, she sounded like a mad women.

"So what do we do?" Sophie said turning to the group.

"He's exterminating us because we can kill him," Hester told her realisation to the group while ignoring Sophie's question "Remember in the first year. History. We were told to defeat good we were to clash it with evil magic. That way it would neutralise each other. He wants to kill us so no one will kill him. This is not about a balance or a cleanse, it's purely about power,"

"So with us gone... he can rule with no consequences?" Jay questioned unsure if he was understanding what was happening.

"Exactly. So we need to kill him," Hester said now standing "And... what do we do with her?"

The groups eyes all met Ana's. They looked at eachother before smiling "guys let's talk about this please," Ana pleaded never feeling so helpless in her life.

"What's there to talk about?" Hester said gripping her dagger in her hand while smiling like a maniac "you are the problem... you need to go,"

"Wait!" Jay said as all eyes turned to him "we could use her as bate,"

"You've already suggested that," Raven muttered in her quiet tone.

"No, I know," Jay said before continuing "we can distract him before killing him,"

"Use her as distraction rather then a peace offering, smart baby," Naveen cooed as the group agreed with Jay.

"Sorry love. You'll forgive me for this one day," Chris said before shoving a gag into Ana's mouth and tying it behind her head. After she waved her hand making Ana float with her magic. With a snap of Sophie's magic the rope readjusted itself. Now typing Ana's hands behind her back whist the rest of it tied itself to her waist. "Right let's go kill this guy,"

The rest of the group agreed trying to hype themselves up to what was waiting outside the door.

"Try not to die everyone," Naveen reminded everyone as if that was obvious

"Easy for you to say," Hester spat before opening the door. She cautiously walked out of the room. It had now become clear we were on the second floor as the balcony over the hall appeared. Ana, pushed forwards by Sophie and Raven, walked along while grumbling in the makeshift gag. Everyone just ignored her. It was then Rhian came into Hester's view as she yelled "Hey Rhian! Look what we have,"

Ana got pushed into view of the head master and as she did she saw the room. Several students dead, kids fighting for their lives with no way out and as the Headmaster met her gaze she knew the write was right she needed to fix this.
