In the Eye of the Virgo

Chapter 14

       I heard a scream come from Audrenia's room and ran to see what was wrong. When I got there the room was trashed, little puddles of blood scattered everywhere. I noticed that Audrenia's window was opened, a note was held up by a knife on the wall. 

       'If you ever want to see the Pisces again, join our side. If you refuse, your precious little niece will be tortured and become one with the Zodiac Signs. Your choice, you know where to meet us when you're ready.' It read. I felt tears prick my eyes as I ran to my room to prepare for the trip ahead. 

      I summoned some vines and rushed towards Indiana to retrieve my niece. I wasn't going to lose another family member to them, not because of me again. I urged the vines to go faster, but their energy soon ran out as I crossed over water. I needed to get to land-and fast.

      I felt them give out beneath me and I began to fall towards the water. I was free falling until I spotted some rocks beneath the water. Summoning the little earth there was, I formed a rock bed and landed on it. The hard earth made me feel as if I broke something, but I was too busy to notice.

      I pulled up more and more earth, having it carry me towards the old warehouse where it all began. . . . Crashing through the glass, I rolled onto the ground and pulled out my dagger. If I had to fight my way through, so be it.

      I walked throughout the warehouse, opening every door and looking through every room. I had to find Audrenia before it was too late. It would be my fault if anything was to happen to her. I definitely didn't want that. She was too important to me.

      I hide behind a door when I heard a loud creak. Holding my breath, I listened for something. I heard voices-a male and a female, and they didn't sound too happy. "Where is that useless girl? You would think that with the right motivation she would be here by now!" I heard the female hiss loudly.

      "Maybe she's already here and we just don't know it." The male replied blandly. I heard the female slap the male. "Idiot! If she was here already there would be cracks in the earth! Don't you remember the last time?" The girl whisper-yelled. "Uh, no. I wasn't here, remember?" I heard the male answer back stupidly.

     "Whenever a Virgo's around, there are cracks that appear in the earth. You know, earth, Virgo, powers?" The girl asked sarcastically. "Uh, sure." I heard the male exclaim. I heard another slap and winced. I looked down at the ground and noticed no cracks in it. Smiling, I remembered that I was in control of my powers now. . . .
