India White

Chapter 11

I ran as fast as I could down to the Great Hall. I was hoping Ms. Lae was down their, but unfortunately, she was still no where to be found. I needed some answers and I couldn't wait for her to show up!

I ran back down to my room and paused. I normally take a left to the Great Hall, but I ran right of my room this time. I was going to find Jaspen.

I ran for about 2 minutes straight before I ran out of breath. I hunched over, holding my stomach and gasping for air in a scraggly tone. "Breathe." I told myself. "You can do it. Just breathe." Ok. So I wasn't the athletic type. Big deal. That's what horses are for.

I just so happened to occur that I had reached a three way intersection. I could either go forward, or right. I tried to remember two days ago. The first time Jaspen and I met. He had come from the right, I was sure of it.

I took a hard right. Unfortunately, all that I saw was rows and rows of doors that lead to bedrooms that probrobly looked just like mine. I started to walk down a never ending path. I was almost out of luck. Untill a girl walked past me. "Excuse me," I said to her. "But I'm in need of directions."

The girl turned torward me. I remembered her face, but where had I seen it before? Then I remembered. It was the girl who I sat next to at dinner last night. What was her name again? Becka? Blane? Blare! That's what it was. Blare.

"Oh sure!" She said. "Hi India!" "Hi Blare!" I returned. "Where do you need directions to?" She asked. "Do you know Jaspen?" I questioned, hoping she did. "Of course!"

She lead me down the hallway a bit longer, then pointed to a door. "That one." She said. I thanked her and grabbed the door handle to open the door when all of a sudden I saw something.

I was still holding on to the door knob, but it was like I was trapped in my mind and couldn't see anything in the outside world.

Blare, Jaspen and I were all in some kind of locked up valt. Blare was looking at a piece of paper and Jaspen and I were digging through a drawer filled with nothing but money. The valt door suddenly opened and a person I couldn't see walked in. A guard threw a mask over my face and I couldn't breathe.

I opened my eyes. My hand was still on the door knob. I was able to see the world again! Something happened and I had no idea what it was. My question list was growing and I needed to get some answers. With that, I push the door open to Jaspen's room without even thinking to knock.
