The Curse of The Midas Mirror

Chapter 17

Chapter 17.

Cleo's POV

I ran to the spot where the portal closed.

How? How does this always keep happening? Violets had a hard life. Her after life shouldn't be this hard!

"We have to go after her" said Ronan.

I looked at him like he was insane. Well he was. Going after a monster queen into its own realm was completely insane. "What?"

"We have to go after Violet and Tessamonet" he said again.

"Ronan we can't just go after Tessamonet. I know you want to find violet. I do too but now that Tessamonet is in her element we have to be extra careful."

Ronan's sighed impatiently. "There has to be some way to get her out of there!" he exclaimed.

I thought for a moment. "Well I guess there is one thing we could try..."

"What is it?"

I shook my head. "No. too risky never mind".

He glared at me. There was something else here. The glow around him wasn't as it usaully was. You see, one of my powers includes being able to sense other people's emotions. There was something about Ronan's little speech here. Then it hit me. "You love her don't you."

"What?"

"Violet. You love her don't you?" i asked him again. I watched as the blush on his face deepened.

He sighed in exaspiration. "Yes. Yes I do and I if she dies because I wasn't able to save her I'll never be able to forgive myself.

"But you love your family too. You want to help violet then get back to your family in new Orleans. I can open the portal to the monster kingdom but we wou-"

"Open. That. portal. Now"

Ronan's POV

I watched as she chanted some evil sounding phrase and a green and red portal appeared next to her.

I jumped up. "Come on! We gotta go help her!"

Cleo looked at me and nodded. "Just remember this...there's more to violet then meets the eye...I don't want you to get hurt."

What? "What's that supposed mean" I asked carefully.

"Nothing." She said back. "Come on that monster won't defeat herself." And with that she walked into the portal. I followed behind her.

Violets POV

I woke up and I was sitting in a chair in some weird glass box. I rubbed my eyes and looked around frantically trying to take in my suroundings. It was like this big creepy room decorated like a forest. There were theese wird twisted black trees and vines everywhere. it looked like one of the lair of some sort of evil nature fairy or monster or something.

Monster. Tessamonet. Kidnapping. Portals. All the memories came flooding back in a tidal wave of fear. I stood up and looked out over the edge of the glass box. I was being held up on this weird pedestal thing.

I watched as a....weird wolf mister came in. I tapped on the glass. "HEY. HEY YOU. You with the fur and the paws...." it looked at me. I gasped in horror."....and the fangs and beady red eyes...".

The wolf thing started creeping towards me. More of them appeared and I whimpered and backed away from the glass wall.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Said a voice. "They smell fear."
