The Gift of Three

7: I hate portals

This is Howard, here. So, um well sorry for any yelling that may be involved right now. My sisters are in the middle of fighting off some evil weasels. Trust me those things are awful! [Get that thing off me I'm trying to tell the story!] Sorry about that, now on to the story.

I looked over to see my sister, Lotus, holding her head almost in pain. I shot her a look that said 'your okay?' She nods, but I could tell she was anything but okay.

Suddenly I feel a heavy weight coming from my pocket. I took out the pocket watch. "What am I supposed to use this for? How am I supposed to know where to go?" I shout to the empty council room.

Lotus rolled her eyes and winced from the slight movement. Again I could tell something was wrong. She took the pocket watch from my hands then wispered, "Pentirium." I could barely understand her.

The potal opened up beneath us and pulled us down into it's black hole. When I had finally felt ground beneath my feet everything around me was still black. I called out but my voice sounded distant and flat. A new voice like wind chimes could be heard, "It's okay. Don't be afraid."

A girl, to whom the voice belonged to, stepped into view. She had platinum blond hair and ice blue eyes. She had an aura of cold and ice. But her voice had sounded warm and comforting. She wore a dress of white and an ice crystal hung from her neck.

"Hurry now. Before they relalize that your here," the girl wishpered as she looked around to make sure no one was watching, "Your friends are already to safety. Come on. I'm Tulip by the way, like the flower." She gave me a warm smile than ran through a dimly lit tunnel I hadn't noticed before.

I raced after her. When I had caught up to her, she was waiting at a fork in the tunnel. Than of course something bad had to happen. A loud scream thundered through the dark corridoor. I turned to look to see what was coming. Tulip had beat me to it.
