Nightmare Magic

Chapter 7: Pre-Fooled

"Take me on this Ulic". I said when I stood in front of the dungeon door.

"What?" I heard the ghostly voice of Ulic.

"I'm going to help you escape this torment, but I need you to give me something in return".

His voice hummed in delighted expectancy. Suddenly I felt myself going unconscious. "what are you doing? I didn't plan for this..." my voice trailed off and I went offline.

Emily POV

.

We had just gotten to the door of the dingy, old bookstore. "The door opened before us. A young looking woman whom I was sure was above 500 years old stood at the door. She shifted to the side letting us in. It was my first time seeing her in person. If only she knew how famous she was...

How would she explain someone entering one of the most secret locations on the planet under her nose and so easily. And she was supposed to be the most competent.

She wore a look of embarrassment.

She was was old, but her young, pretty, nerdy features made her look like a shy teenager in front off a class of cute boys.

"What happened here?" Rico asked even though the situation was obvious. She didn't answer. She just said "follow me".

Even her voice was nice and cute. She was like an elder in a kids body.

( Exactly what she is though ).

She led us past rows and rows of elegant design and books and grand passages and hallways. Looking upward I saw a chandelier chain, supposedly where a chandelier should have been. The lady looked up following the direction of my gaze. She squinted, before hurriedly looking away. "Forgive my manners" she began. "I'm Andrea" She offered Rico a hand which he shook firmly. We did the same thing. "I'm Rico Stones and these are my colleagues".

She used a second to take us all in one more time. "I assume you already know why we are here" I said. I was talking so I could feel among them, but it was more depressing now that I had spoken out of turn. All eyes were on me, so I decided to continue. " We have come from Des temple on the order of our master regarding the tomb dungeon of Ulic".

Then Doull, one of the assassins spoke up. "we didn't come for a chit-chat. Get us in so we can kill that S. O. B. before he gets the time to synchronize with the powers". "yh, what are we waiting for?"

There was something about the way Andrea's face was. She was worried about something, Something really horrible. And If It's what I'm thinking... Then as if reading my mind she said, while I mouthed. "The door is sealed till whoever is in gets out".

Wood POV

I didn't know what to think of my seat mates change within seconds. What was I thinking holding her hand like that? I'm happy everything went in my favor. Who wouldn't want to date the cutest boy in the class? Oh yeah that title has been taken. What about the richest kid. I don't know of any Rõs families. Yeah who cares anyways. He'll soon become a nobody in the class. Soon. It's only a matter of time. It was Monday, but I was already anticipating what I'll do on Saturday. Then a vivid image of the new guy in class popped up In head, his hand around Losa's waist and hers around his neck. I shook my head In that instant. Getting up from my bed I decided to take an evening shower before staying on the couch and waiting out the time when Sara would arrive.

Finally Sara arrived with a ring of the bell. I opened the door and she let herself in as she normally did nowadays. Yh we had gotten past the other formalities so that's why she could sneak out of her dorm in school and see me in my house every now and then, just like today.

She has headed straight to my bathroom to have a bath and change to her see-through nightgown. This night would be interesting.

Netflix and chill. That's what I'm doing.

Really chill as I feel myself deep in a pleasant tunnel. I'm riding a car to a different kind of happiness. After a while it comes to an end. The after effect of the wonderful ride, the sweet sounds of motivating music, the sound of our bone-cover connecting in a joy giving rhythm - was disappointing. It left a bitter taste in my mouth and all my former beastiality was drowned. It never felt like this. I knew the course, but I was not going to give Sara room for suspicion because Sara was the queen of being a pain in the arse.

She cuddled her exposed body on me. I reluctantly held her and hugged her close to my chest. We talked for a while, then she fell soundly asleep.

When I was sure that if I left she wouldn't notice, I got up from the bed. I looked out into the street. People walking about doing their normal things. The road was getting clear as it began getting late.

The view I got from my top balcony was nice. Beyond the rest of the road were houses and a million row of endless light. Night time was a quiet, peaceful, uneventful time. I loved it. After the workout with Sara. I knew I needed a bath, a cold bath because seeing her lieing there was tempting and I was only human...

After soaking myself and washing up I got back in the bed and faced away from her. I needed to clear my head. I can't do it lieing down. A walk outside would be ideal. As I took a stroll out in the always safe street, I couldn't help but feel watched, so I hurriedly got back to my house. Then I was already drowsy. I noticed movements inside my house, but I thought it was my head. Then I heard Sara's voice in a night piercing shriek. The sleep left my being and I ran towards her. When I got into the room, I noticed two things at once. Sara's n***d body was limp on the edge of the room and there was the mangled corpse of the new kid at school.
