The Queen of the Dead

6)The Training

 That night Amber not only had Marilynn to wake up, but Annalise as well. Not that it was hard as there was no cat meowing loudly in the room beforehand, but Marilynn worried that the redhead caused Lilyanne to stir. Annalise not used to getting up at midnight via a skeletal cat, or getting up at midnight in general, fell out of her bed. Causing a facepalm from a certain raven haired girl, and a groan of unsureness from a certain blonde. Marilynn could have sworn she saw Lilyanne open her eyes after she groaned. Annalise stared at her with wide eyes and mouthed sorry. Marilynn fought the urge to eyeroll, and instead held her finger to her lips, signalling Annalise to be silent. With that done both girls slipped out the door, following a ghost cat.

Annabelle knew she heard a cat meow, right before Annalise fell. She saw her two roommates leave the room behind the ghost of Amber. She sat in bed for at least five minutes debating to follow them or not. She had decided in favor, but she would need a 'disguise'. Annabelle held a lock of blonde hair in front of her face, She watched as the platinum blonde changed into a dark brown. Her technical disguise melting off.

Marilynn led Annalise into the land of the dead, where Andrea seemed to met up with them immediately. All three knew the risks after being informed that Annabelle had disguised herself as a human in the orphanage. Marilynn, who had trust issues with virtually everyone beforehand, had found it even harder to trust anyone. She even began to question Lilyanne, even though the blonde was pretty much the opposite of a demon. Annalise on the other hand suspected one of the adults working at the orphanage. Considering the fact that he once tried to kill her. But she did find it odd that Annabelle-a female demon-had decided to hide herself in a male body. Andrea agreed with her living sister, trust no one until Annabelle is found and destroyed. If she was hiding as a human, she was limited like a human.

"Ok girls the training we begin here tonight," Andrea started, but soon froze with wide eyes. "No sudden movements. We're being watched." Both living girls felt their eyes widen. Slowly the two turned around, and Andrea moved next to them. Marilynn glanced at Andrea, who gave a faint nod, before Marilynn whistled at an earpricing pitch. Andrea, who had been smart enough to cover her ears, winced, while Annalise (who didn't know what was happening) fell to the ground holding her ears.

"What the heck was that?" Annalise screamed, as she was now partially deaf. Marilynn simply pointed. Fifty feet away layed a girl

(ghost?)

Unmoving. As the trio watched, the girl stirred. She looked around before her eyes set on Marilynn.

"That was a good trick girly," she screeched as she flew towards the trio. She grabbed onto Marilynn's shoulders, before continuing her screaming, "But next time I'll be prepared! And you will not survive our next encounter. I promise." With that she burst out laughing and flew away. Marilynn stood shocked as she could have sworn the brown haired ghost girl had very familiar black eyes.

Annabelle was confused. First, her roomates snuck out into the land of the dead. There they met up with a ghost to begin some kind of training. Then Marilynn let out an insanely loud high pitched whistle that caused Annabelle to go partially deaf. She thought about this as she flew back into their shared room, and her brown hair turned back into blonde. She knew that one day the girl with the skull on her dagger would kill her, ruining her plan. But she didn't think.

"No," she whispered as she sat down on the bed. There was no way Marilynn was the one with the dagger. But yet it made sense. Marilynn talked to hardly anyone. She was probably talking to ghosts. Annabelle scowled and glared at the wall. She would have to be more careful around the raven haired girl.
