India White

Chapter 17

When I couldn't run any longer, I looked behind me to make sure I wasn't being followed. When I checked my surroundings, I realized I was back in the beautiful garden that I was in earlier. Exept a shimmering layer of snow covered the garden, and all of the flowers were covered with a thin layer of ice that made them look gorgeous.

It was strange, now that I thought about it. How did the weather change from warm and sunny, to a winter wonderland? Am I in Narnia? I smiled at my silly joke I had just told myself. Of course I wasn't in Narnia.

I started to look for the beautiful flower I had first seen in the garden. I searched everywhere, but couldn't find it. I had searched the entire square garden, and still had no idea where it had gone!

I looked off into the distance. Maybe I had missed something, and that's why I couldn't find it. I was about to turn around to look for it again, when something caught my eye.

I turned toward the thing when all of a sudden, the clouds that were making the lovely snow fall slowed down, as well as the snow itself. "Oh not this again." I thought out loud.

It was actually kind of pretty like this. Maybe this whole "powers" thing isn't that bad. It was kind of cool I could have this experience. The snow drift was the prettiest thing I had ever seen in my life!

I sat in the snow for awhile, just enjoying the slowly moving scenery, when I heard the snow crunching behind me. I quickly spun my head around to see a masked man holding a brown bag, large enough for a person to fit in.

I was confused at first, and then I realized he was going to put me in the bag! I let out an ear defying scream. It startled the man, but for only a split second. Everything sped up again at normal pace, and the man was running at me.

I had no choice but to try to run away from him. As I ran, I was hoping to slow things down again. Then I could run to safety.

I focused as hard as I could, but nothing was happening! The man was quickly catching up to me. I screamed again, but this time calling for help. It was no use. How was anyone supposed to be able to hear me? This is probably the most deserted part of the academy.

I screamed for help one last time. I felt a cold hand grab my arm yanking me towards the man. He smiled at me, an awful, evil smile. "I've been waiting a long time for this." He said to me in a cold, harsh voice. "And now I can finally get my revenge."

I tried screaming once more for help, but mid-scream he slapped a piece of ducked tape over my mouth. Then he quickly threw the bag over my head, flipped the bag over so my body was upside down, and tied the open side of the bag closed.

I was then lifted off the ground and onto his shoulders. I kicked him, but he grabbed my legs. Then we were off. What were we traveling by? He didn't walk 2 ft. Till we were moving. And I could tell we were in the air somehow.

A few moments later, we landed on something. He put me back down on my feet, but I wobbled a bit. Not seeing where I was going made it hard to walk. Apparently, he could see that and picked me back up again.

We walked forward, and then I heard the sound of a door opening. He pushed me inside of the room. Then he took off the bag and the ducktape off with fast movements.

When I looked around, I knoticed we were in a small office room. A lady in a formal attire greeted me and told me to sit down. I did as she asked, but as soon as I did, invisible handcuffs strapped themselves onto my arm, locking me to the chair.

"What is this?" I asked her. "No need to fear Ms. White. We won't harm you. We just need some answers. Tell us everything you know about your family."
