A New Dawn Awaits

Ch. 2 || The Best Place To Be

There was a whoosh and they were suddenly lifted off their feet.

Nobody could calculate what exactly was going on.

They were sucked into a vacuum tunnel like passage.

Eclipse and Ascella shouted at the top of their lungs first while the rest first panicked and opened their mouths out of fright, eliciting a loud screech.

They felt as if they had turned into vapour and were just getting lost in a blackhole. Like they were being slowly disintegrated to minute particles bit by bit.

There was a bright flash of light and an evil sounding chortle was heard at a distance.

The Augurey was succeeding in her mission.

The girls shut their eyes tightly and grabbed each other's hands or clothes tightly, clutching on for dear life.

With throbbing hearts, shaking hands and tumbling knees, they were somehow thrown onto the cool rigid floor.

"Did anyone hear that creepy ass laugh? What just happened?" Estelle spoke annoyed.

"Yeah... No idea bout that." Ascella panted.

Alexandra tried getting up and brush the dust off her clothes but a sudden pain struck her calf and she fell down again, clutching her leg tight.

"Ow, What was that?!" She screamed in agony.

"My ankle!I think it has twisted and sprained or I just might have broken my leg!"

She grabbed her leg and waited for the pain to overcome but it was getting worse every second.

Eclipse looked down on her knee when she felt a stinging pain and a something running down her leg.

BLOOD.

"I guess hurt my left knee..." She spoke, carefully examining the wound with fresh blood dripping off it.

While all this chaos was going on, Estelle, who had fallen on top of Ascella during the landing carefully got off her and examined her surroundings while her twin grabbed her back in pain.

"Where are we?" Ascella asked puzzled.

The rest looked around. They were thrown in front of a fountain with gold statues of a wizard, witch, centaur, goblin and house elf.

"Is that?" Alexandra began.

"Yes. It seems like it. "Eclipse stated gravely and exhaled what she had been holding in."The fountain of -"

"- Magical Brethren." Estelle finished her ally's sentence.

"Are we in the Harry Potter shooting set or something?" Ascella finally spoke up.

"I-I guess... How did we even end up here?!"

"Maybe we all shifted..." Ascella spoke up.

"Together? Or did we hit our heads and are in a coma? " Estelle spat back at her sister.

"But this seems...so real... " Eclipse breathed.

Even though nobody voiced it out but all of them wanted to believe this was real, nit caring how ridiculous and childish this sounded.

Everybody had many questions swirling like a tornado in their minds but then they all focused on each other.

"Let's go get you two some help first." Ascella said, looking at her two friends in agony. Her twin nodded. "Do you have a first-aid kit in your bag? Any one you?"

"Yes, yes I do. " Ivy replied rummaging in her rucksack for the supplies. " I had packed the necessities."

Estelle turned her attention towards a bleeding Eclipse and gently cleaned her wound with a cotton ball while she gave her sister a spray to apply on Xee's ankle.
