CATHERINE

Until it was actually time to execute our plan Charlie and I focused on his ability of being invisible. Unlike professor Invisible, Charlie could actually spread his ability, I mean if he concentrated hard... Charlie could make me and five more people invisible with him. But that required a lot of concentration and energy.

Charlie tried as hard as he could to concentrate in making himself and a few things around him invisible. It took him a lot of time before he could make me invisible as well and the notes in Emma's laptop helped a lot. If Charlie had to make me invisible he would just hold my hand, concentrate hard and then we both would be invisible.

This kind of training took more time than we thought it would as even before we could realize, there was only half an hour left before we could execute our plan. Charlie needed rest and hence he went to his room to sleep a little... meanwhile I just casually surfed through Emma's laptop.

Everything else except those files were password protected, even the pictures in the galleries had password. I then started randomly guessing as to what could have been her passwords and I was successfully opened one of the files... but mind you only ONE. It seemed as if she had different passwords for every different document...

The file I opened had different pictures of Emma with her sister. I couldn't help but wonder that IF Emma would have been and IF she has faced her sister back there in the cave... what would have been her reaction. I mean there was no doubt that Emma missed her sister... so I couldn't help but be curious as to what her reaction would have been. I was curious because I had never seen Emma cry, be angry, I had never seen Emma go emotional...

I then went back to studying the other files, the files named "Brittney"; "Scott" and "Josh". It had information about Scott's element being Ice and Brittney's element being fire. There were many disadvantages as well. I would have read them but what interested me most was the file named "Josh".

According to the "ABILITIES" file Josh has the ability to whatever he wished. I mean Josh had the power to form anything by his imagination. And the most interesting thin was Josh's power was not a curse... It was a blessing. I mean who would curse anyone "May they get whatever they want", it was of course a blessing.

The supernatural beings such as the Vampires, the Werewolves and maybe even the Dracula's get out extra power by either curses of in very rare occasions, blessings. It actually depends on the past life.

Soon it was time to put our plan into work. I gave the mental signal to Scott, Brittney, Lucy and Drake that it was time. Charlie was all relaxed ready to go back in that cave again as he switched off the 'underground' mode. As we rose to the ground level, we found no viper around searching for us, either they had given up (which was not going to happen) or they had been called back inside for some reason.

We had to get inside the cave as fast as possible or else the cave would feed on our energy again... and things would definitely go ugly. Just before we could reach the centre of the cave, Charlie and I held hands and instantly went invisible. They were no vipers or mega vipers around. As both of us entered further we found maddam all tied up against the wall as if she was a piece of decoration.

I signalled Brittney and Scott to get out of their cell or prison or dungeon or whatever that was, while we looked around for Drake and Lucy. As Lucy has previously described her location, their cell wasn't that far away from where maddam was. Then Charlie let go of my hand and we became visible again.

Lucy and Drake had both failed in locating were the key was. So according to me the only option that we had was to break the lock, but there was also a possibility that doing so could have activated an alarm which would cause all the vipers, mega vipers, and all the possible villains or enemies to arrive.

It was then that Scott and Brittney arrived, due to some reason Brittney had her hands bandaged though they did not seem to be doing any help, as the bandages were all black and burned. Brittney, without wasting the time just melted the lock followed by the chains which were binding Drake and Lucy.

Since we were all free and the plan was going perfect, the only thing left to do was free maddam and then we could all escape easily. But of course something had to go wrong as Josh showed up suddenly. Charlie then immediately spread his invisibility to all the four of us, as Lucy and Drake remained in that cell acting as they were still chained and that nothing had happened to the lock of the cell.

Josh went straight towards maddam, he stopped right in front of her, closed his eyes as if he was concentrating on something and the very next thing I remember seeing is that all the chains binding maddam just opened on their own and maddam landed on the ground standing on her two feet. So maddam was free, but she did not open the ribbon which was over her eyes, since her glasses were not around. Then Josh again concentrated hard and materialized a black coloured glasses similar to the one maddam wore in SWA.

Maddam thanked him and then took those glasses, put them on, and said,

"Now, now... don't put so much pressure on poor Charlie; he will pass out of pain. I know you are hiding there Catherine, Charlie, Brittney and Scott. And you two, Drake and Lucy can come out now. There is no need for you to act now."

I was amazed that maddam had at once guessed that we were in there. Charlie made all of us visible again as Lucy and Drake walked out of the cell.

"But how did you know that..." even before I could ask her the question maddam answered the question. Boy, I had missed her.

"Oh, I could sense you dear."

All the six of us then filled up about what had happened ever since her abduction while Josh stood there in one corner with his head down, avoiding as much as eye contact as possible. But before we could tell her more she said,

"Yes children, tell me the stories later... but it seems that we have some unpleasant company..."

We looked around who the 'unpleasant company' was and we found about thirty vipers coming or running or floating (Whatever that they do) towards us. We all stared at them wide eyed having no idea as to what we had to do against so many vipers when maddam said, taking off her glasses.

"Children, I suggest you look away."
