Shadows

Part 11: Carissa

    I saw Rachel fall. A minute later she died. The shadow circle was complete: a person must fall in fountain of water surrounded by many people, with the chalk outline of underworld. I looked down at my best friend, I didn't even feel bad. Emotions were a thing of the past, a frivolous game. A black hue leached out of me and from the chalk. The Shadow Circle worked. I dropped the maple leaf and rock into the water and it disappeared into a black pool. Anybody who didn't know what this was would had have a hard time processing the blackness. The maple leaf disintegrated and the rock disappeared into the depths of the fountain. I felt a surge of power, the Devastation Spell worked too. I grinned as my power increased, exploding inside me.
