The Mysterious Case of Room 26C

Awakening

PART 7

Up in the top bedroom of the east tower of the palace, lay prince Harold and his maiden Siena. Propped against his headboard they each rested, staring into each other's eyes longingly. Holding each others hands and talking about mundane things such as parents and life in general. The comfortable aura of the room shifted, a rattling began at the door -- they both had heard it as both their heads spiked at the sound of it. Harold being the brave prince that he is went to investigate the source of the noise, as he opened it a person by the name of Charlotte burst into their door. She immediately began to attack the prince, hitting, punching, poking -- what was happening both the prince and Siena were confused. Charlotte was merciless with her the blows, the prince attempted to fend her off but he was caught of guard by her advances. She had managed to corner the prince towards the open window of the tower, she raised her hands and grabbed the pull-up bar half a metre away from the window. With a mighty thrust she kicked the prince from the room out of the window, down he went, like a falling stone. Charlotte turned to Siena -- the girl was scared stiff, she had backed herself up against the headboard and was tightly clutching the duvet. Charlotte stared her in the eyes and said only one word, "soon." With that Charlotte left the room as if nothing had happened, leaving a distraught Siena alone with the thought that he prince was gone.

The princess Annabel and Brooke were walking through the gardens when they were stopped short, there falling from the tower window was their brother -- prince Harold. Together they rushed over to the bottom of the tower, expecting to see a gruesome scene on the grass before them, they were instead greeted with the sight of blue smoke in the shape of a human silhouette. The girls clutched each other, distraught from the sight they had just witnessed and confused as to why this smoke was here and where their brother was.

There in classroom 26C, stood over the book was a new student to the classroom, Nacquisha stared at her in awe. Two minutes prior their was a knock at the classroom door, stood outside was a blonde haired student, she entered the classroom with a note in hand for the teacher. That was when she saw all the class asleep at their seats except for the one student she spotted, that student was Nacquisha and she had a certain book within her hands. The student dropped the note on the teacher's desk and snatched the book from Naquisha's hands, 

"Why do you have this? This book is the reason everyone in the room in unconscious." she sneered. 

>"I have it because it was here when I got to class? This book is the reason everyone has dozed off? I can believe that." Nacquisha said earnestly.

"You know that they won't be able to leave this book unless they die in the story, right?"

>"Uh, really? They can't leave unless they...die?"

"Yes. It sounds awful, but they don't feel anything. They just die in the story then wake up here. If they don't die they will just stay in the story forever." The blonde explained.

>"Right...How do you know so much about this Charlotte?" Nacquisha puzzled.

"I just do, I don't have time to explain Nac. They just need to die."

+"Die? Are you sure?" The teacher demanded.

"Yes, I am 100% sure. They won't die unless they are killed, or told. I need to go into the book."

+"Alright then, get comfortable you're about to enter." the teacher instructed.

With that the student named Charlotte sat herself on a spare chair and got ready, Nac sped out of the room -- she did nit want to enter that book. The teacher recanted to the entry spell within the book and with that Charlotte slumped over and had infiltrated the shared dream.

Once in the dream Charlotte immediately spotted a light coming from the top room of one of the Palace towers, giggles were heard as well. Once finding her way to the source of the noise and light. She began to rattle the door handle, it was locked -- she needed to get in there somehow. She did not need to think too long as the prince Harold opened the door for her, upon recognising her classmate she did not hesitate to start attacking him with all the force that she had. She continued her attack...and well...you know what happened next.

Back in the classroom one of the students shoots up from his seat emitting a short yelp. He looks around himself and saw that he was back in his classroom, confused he looked at Nac who was staring right back at him. 

"Oh my god, I think she was right." Nac said

>"What? who was right? That doesn't matter, what in hell was that book" He forcefully points at the book in front f Nacquisha.

"Y'know I'm not so sure myself what this is..."

>"I just had the weirdest dream...one minute I was with the most beau....one minute I was having the time of my life then I was chucked out of a window and now I'm back here."

"I bet you had a wild dream...here, come read the book with me." Nac offered the recently woken Harold.

In the Kingdom of Caliconia a recently entered Charlotte was only one person down on her mission to wake her classmates. She had left Siena in the bedroom as the girl was terrified for what she had witnessed, Charlotte thought it was best to give her the space before 'killing' her too. But for now she was on to her next 'victim' she had to release her classmates form this never-ending dream. She just had to.
