I was walking around a dark place, I walked to the left but it went on forever I turned to the right and began to walk I called out "hello anyone there?" For a few minutes nothing happened then two people appeared before me.

"Who are you?" I asked
"Don't you remember us?" Said the woman " Mum Dad! It's so good to see you but I thought you died"
"Oh Aria " said the man "Shadow casted an illusion to trick everyone"
"Where are you?"
"In his dungeons" so somewhere he's keeping them away " do you know where the dungeons are?"
"I don't know,but your necklace should give you the answer"
"What do you mean?"
"When we gave you the necklace we had a spell on it that tells us your location but his cells stop us from using our magic"
"What's the spell?"
"I don't not know"
"Do you know where the spell is?"
"The castle library on one of the top shelves is a red book with gold markings it should read 'old spells' but you need to say the spell   backwards" my mum informed me " you need to be prepared Shadow can send his soldiers out at any moment so you need to get here quick but no guards can come with you" my mum added on " why?" I exclaimed "You and your five friends each have great power and can guide you"
"How do you know about them"?"
"We have a few ways but, Aria, we have to go now the cell is draining our magic, but remember what we said, we believe in you"
"I won't let you down I love you guys"
"We love you too" my parents faded away and I thought I would go back to the real world, then suddenly, out of nowhere two blood thickening red eyes appeared. Shadow.

"Want do you want?" I shouted he let out a menacing laugh "You already know I want you powers"
"You'll never have my powers because I am stronger than you"
"Well we'll see in the future then shall we" his Shadow ran towards me and I jerked back.

I was somehow back in the real world I was looking at the ceiling I saw Jacob in the corner of my eye sitting in a chair in the corner of the room.

Jacob's pov
I stuck by her side the whole time she was lying on the bed looking lifeless, although he eyelids were shut I could see her eyes moving behind them, the guys came in from time to time to give me some food and water but i never ate or drank it the thoughts In my mind were crazy ,what if she was never going to wake up and I couldn't tell her how much i loved her, her happiness, her personality, everything about her I loved but i may not be able to tell her.

I sat in the chair and contemplated on my thoughts,  by my surprise I saw her looking straight at me I rushed over to her and dropped to my knees happiness ran through my vains I held her hand tight not wanting to let go.

Aria's pov
He came rushing over to me he squeezed my hand tight "a little tight" I said "sorry" he replied loosening his grip "are you ok?" "Better then I was when I was chained to the ground"
"Well that's a good thing" Jacob said and we both laughed, I reached my hand to my chest and touched my necklace. I lept out of my bed.
"Aria careful"
"I'm fine Jacob" I reached for the door nob "Aria where are you going?"
"To find this Shadow"
"How?"
"I'll tell you when we have the others"
"I'll show you where they are" I followed Jacob out of my room and into the library everyone was looking throug the shelves "guys" Jacob said everyone's attention was on him, then on me.

"Glad youre ok Aria" spoke Liam with a tired voice "me too"
"The guys were trying to find anything about Shadow"
" We haven't found a single thing" Derek spoke up " you won't with those" I said " What do you mean?" Cody said "somewhere in here is a red book with gold markings called 'Old spells'"
"How is that book going to help us?" Jacob asked " You'll see" we all spreaded in different directions we searched the bookshelves nearest to us a microscopic part of me didn't think we you find it.

"I think I found it" Ryan shouted, he walked over to a table and placed the book down. I touched my necklace and opened the book.

Hey guys I just wanted to add that I have published a new book called
'The  demi gods tales' and if you wanted to check it out you know where to find it. And also thank you so much for reading this and you may be thinking when is this going to finish? But I promise you it will end soon and on a good note. Thanks.
