It was exam day. I entered Mr. Moselies' class and sure enough, she was there. The room seemed to be brightened each time she smiles. This day keeps getting better and better.
We walked to our classes together, are together, and smiled together. Is this what they call love? We finished our last exams and made our way to the dining hall for dinner. As we were walking down the stairs, we heard a sudden explosion.
BOOM
We ran back up to see a cloud of purple smoke coming out of a class. We ran to the class that the smoke was coming from and found a small child.
"Try and find what made the explosion", Saphire said as she grabbed the child, "I'll take the kid to the nurse."
"Ok, I'll look around if there are more people around too" ,I replied as I saw her fade into the cloud of purple smoke.
I started to look around and yelled to see if there were any signs of anyone around. As I try to find my way around the class I stepped on what seems to a broken vase. I wonder if this is what made the explosion. I examined some of the pieces to see if it was enchanted or if it was used to brew a potion. They must've ran out of bottles. I thought as I picked up a piece with some sort of purple liquid stuck to it. I wanted to continue further examination of it but I noticed something else at the moment. The smoke was starting to clear up. As I looked around my surroundings to see if I could find someone in the room, I saw that there were no tables, chairs, or shelves for potions or books. I stood up holding that one piece of the vase and started to walk towards the door. How odd. I should take this to Mr. Boone since he's the potion expert. I stared at the broken piece in my hand and bumped into the wall. Wait, wasn't the door supposed to be here? I looked in front of me and the door was gone. W-where did-. Suddenly I saw a green glow illuminating from inside the wall in the corner. I slowly walked to the light. I started to feel around the wall to see if there was a secret passage. No doubt a part of the wall was fake. I pushed a part of the wall in and the it started to split slowly. I looked in and there was some sort of stairway leading down to who knows where. I looked around the room once more to see if I could find another hidden door that could help me back into the hallway. Sadly, there weren't any. I decided to make my way down the stairs. As I made a few steps in, the wall closed behind me. I ran towards it and slammed right into it. Falling to the ground I felt something shape poked my hand. Oh, I forgot about the glass in my hand. I slid it into my pocket and continued my way down the stairs. Each time I get closer to the bottom the green glow grew brighter. After finally reaching the bottom I found the green orb again but this time it was floating on a pedestal that was covered in a red blanket. Next to it there was a cup overflowing with water like-fountain. It seems to be enchanted so that the water won't stop flowing out of it. Somehow the water doesn't touch the flower it just, disappeared midway. As I stepped closer towards it I heard a voice.
"Who goes thea!" The voice echoed the room and keeps getting louder and louder. I froze at the spot as I saw a shadow ten times of that Mr. Archimedes project, making its way towards me from what seems to be another passageway.
