-----------------------------------

Walking into the tower keep a single question came to mind which made me want to turn back now. 'Why am I even here?'

As if the voice from before could hear my thought I heard it again, 'My child, that is a question only time will answer.'

"Would you just give over with the riddles already." I stated whilst I continued to walk further into the keep

'If I could I'm sure I would. But as riddles are a rhyme then only time will decide.' 

"If you don't stop I'm leaving."

'Oh fine, but you take all the fun out of things.'

"Thank you, now why am I here. And don't even dear answer in a riddle again." I stated as I came to a large set of wood doors, the deepening brown toning of the paint work showing its age against the brittle and rusted hinges which covered over half of each door, and the scuffed bottoms where multiple people over the years have knocked their feet against the door

Moving closer to the door I was drawn inwards by a strangely familiar glow which lined the framework of the door, reaching forwards I pushed the door open to be bathed in a bright glow of white which gave the passage an almost eerie feeling.

"Hello Sophia" a woman stated as she moved out from the recesses of shadows which remain in the room

"Who are you?"

"Now that's a question for another time, as secrets are what you seek and you are about to be the keeper from within the keep."

"You, said you would stop with the riddles." I stated as it finally made sense, this was the person from within my head.As I stood there I studied every aspect of this mysterious woman, the shocking white hair with speckles of black as it cascaded down to just below her shoulders, the eerie but friendly solid white eyes or the strange whitish glow from earlier that seemed to radiate off of her.

"So do I get a name or what?"

"Oh honey, if you don't even know family, then I guess you don't know. Sophia my name is Amelia, and you my dear are an elemental." The mysterious woman stated now identified as Amelia

"Wait, did you just say family. I have no family."

"Well that is true to an extent. You do have family but they are get to be revealed, but you and I are family, just I'm what some might call a spirit."

"But enough about that, time is short and a darkness is about to fall, this pendent will change your life and reveal secrets which were chosen to be hidden from you." Amelia stated as she held her hand out and a pendent lay flowing above her hand like that of the sketch from earlier.

"Yer, but no thanks. I'm fine, I best be going." I stated as I started walking towards the doors

"Sorry Sophia, but that's not going to happen." As the words left Amelia's lips a strong gust of wind caused the doors to slam shut with a loud 'THUD'

"Fine, I stay. But this better not be a sick joke."

"Sophia, this is no joke. Now place this pendent around your neck, and answer are what I'll give."

Moving towards Amelia I grasped the pendent in my hand and was greeted with a much more vivid white glow than that of before, moving it towards my neck I clasped it shut and watched as the glow began to engulf me.

As if time seemed to stop I watched as a growing breeze seemed to appear from within the room, growing in strength I watched as it began circling around me, creating a vortex of sorts which reached past my head.

As pain radiated through the very fibers of my body I sank to my knees and watched as the vortex disappeared as quick as it had formed.

*Outside the clock tower* - Richard & Alicia

As we were travelling through the town as the sun continued to sink further into the hills I noticed a vibration.

"Hey Richard, do you feel that?"

"Yer I think it's coming from over there" Richard stated whilst pointing towards the clock tower

"Should we go investigate?"

"I don't see why not, because it looks like we are the only ones to feel it."

As Richard stated that, causing me to looked around and notice that the remaining people still in the street were oblivious to the vibrations that seemed to occur from the clock tower.

"OK, let's do it." I stated as Richard swerved the car over to the road side.

Hopping out of the jeep, we walked towards the tower, only to feel the vibrations becoming stronger and a strange white glow beginning to form

"Hey Alissa, you don't think that it might be another one of us do you?" Richard asked me

"I don't know, but there is only one way to find out." I stated as we came upon a door

Pushing the door open we were greeted with a girl trapped in a vortex of sorts that was similar to that of the one that I was in-tangled within this morning.

As Richard and Alicia stood there watching this mysterious girl wither in pain, both knowing that it won't last for long, they watched as the vortex dropped back down to the floor and disappeared like it was never there, all to sudden the girl dropped to the floor.

Yet what drew Alicia and Richard to her was the fact that her hair was a shocking white colour that was speckled with ascents of blacks and greys whilst her eyes as they closed where colour a crystal white she was raging with greys making look like a storm was occurring within her eyes.

"Richard, what do we do?"

"I don't know Alicia"

"Maybe I can answer that?" the voice of Amelia spoke from behind Richard and Alicia

Turning around Alicia and Richard where greeted by Amelia, "My children, time is short and I can only stay for short. Sophia is her name and she is safe, but leave for the cave, a friend shall lay and wait. With the answers that you seek." As Amelia spoke those words Alicia and Richard watched as she disappeared into a swirling of white light that travelled through the air and slipped into the pendent that lay clasped around Sophia's neck
