Chapter 3 - Heated Class

**SAM P.O.V**

The three of us went to the local park meeting up with Sawyer and Sierra’s friends, Rosabella, daughter of The Rose from Wonderland, Chester son of Cheshire Cat from Wonderland, Preston and Penelope Pan, Holly, daughter of Rapunzel, and Gemma, Chelsea, Vicki and Juliette.

“Oh my gosh Sawyer, Sierra thanks for coming.” Rosabella said.

“Yeah I called all of you here regarding Sofia.” Sawyer said.

“Yeah we know. We saw the post before it was deleted. Sofia actually went to all of our dorms and tried harassing the VKs.” Preston said.

Sawyer and Sierra looked horrified.

“Wait what??!” I asked.

I was shocked.

“Yeah Sofia went and said I didn't belong here because of who my mother is.” Gemma said.

“She poured coffee all over me!” Juliette said.

“And she actually threatened my life.” Chelsea said.

“So it's not just me? She’s harassing you guys too?” I asked.

Everyone nodded.

“This is worse than I thought. Did anyone screenshot the post?” Sawyer asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

“No, we were just in shock that Sofia would even do any of this.” Penelope said.

“So what are we supposed to do?” I asked.

“I guess we just go to school tomorrow and tell Fairy Godmother if we have any more issues.” Sierra suggested.

“Not a bad idea, but who would believe us? Sofia is the most popular girl at school! No one would think she would ever do such a thing.” Gemma said.

“We just need to screenshot everything she does, record everything she does and turn it into Fairy Godmother.” Sawyer said.

“Wait a minute. Vicki, how come Sofia hasn’t harassed you?” Chelsea said.

Vicki just shrugged and said, “No one knows who my parents are, so she has nothing to harass me about.”

“I have an idea!” Sierra said.

“What is it?” I asked.

“No one knows who your parents are right?” Sierra said, turning to Vicki.

“Yeah. So?” Vicki said.

“So if we claim we know who your parents are, Sofia will definitely be there! So we get recorded evidence that she’s been harassing you guys!” Sierra explained.

“Wow that’s a great idea! I guess you AKs aren’t as dumb as I thought you would be.” Vicki said.

The AKs frowned.

“Is that an insult?” Holly asked.

“No, no she’s just saying we always thought you guys never really had to think about anything. I mean, you have it made here!” Juliette said.

“I guess we can try to be more considerate. We’re sorry we judged you Juliette.” Chester said.

“I’m sorry too Gemma.” Holly said.

“We’re sorry Sam.” Sawyer and Sierra said.

“Same here Chelsea.” Penelope and Preston said.

Then we did a group hug. The sun was about to go down and I thought we should go back home. Sawyer was thinking the same thing.

“Yeah it's getting late. We should head back.” Sawyer said.

“Imagine what dad will think when he hears we’ve been at the park.” Sierra said.

Everyone was about to go back home, when suddenly Rosabella realised something.

“We have to warn Ben, Mal, Galvin and everyone else at the castle!” She said.

“Do you think they are gonna believe us?” I asked.

“They have to, or I don’t know what we’re gonna do.” Vicki said.

That's when everyone got a notification and it was another facebook post. This time about how amazing the VKs are and how Sofia is excited to get to know them and how it’s a great thing for our community. Wow. After talking mess about all of us, she actually posted that? What's worse is that Fairy Godmother, Belle and Beast liked the post and everyone was eating it up. It’s gonna be hard to convince everyone that Sofia was harassing us. That's when Sawyer got a text message. “Not so smart now huh? I have the upper hand, your stupid cousin doesn't.”

“Whatever. Sierra, Sam, we really need to get home.” Sawyer said.

“Ok...Let’s meet up maybe during lunch tomorrow so we can see what we can do.” Sierra said.

We all agreed on that and me, Sierra and Sawyer started walking home. We walked home and went inside. That's when Simba came into the room.

“Guys, there you are. I just wanted to apologize for what I said earlier. It's just that the post was conveniently deleted before I could see it and I don't know, I just didn't believe it.” Simba said.

“It’s okay dad...it was hard to believe us anyways.” Sawyer said.

“No it's not. Sofia always seemed a bit self absorbed to me. I'm gonna try to look into it more for you guys.” Simba said.

Well that's news to me. At least my uncle is on my side after all.

**Vicki P.O.V**

I woke up this morning in a cold sweat. I’d had that dream again. What does it all mean? I sighed. I really need to stop worrying about this stupid dream. I haven’t told anyone else, not even my friends. I’ve been keeping this to myself for years. I needed to tell someone, just not my friends. Unfortunately, the only person near was my roommate, Bianca. I was not about to tell her my secret. No way, Jose. I wonder why Bianca doesn’t live in the castle with her brother. I looked at her. She was still asleep with her mouth open and she was drooling. I barely got any sleep last night. That’s cause Bianca snores. A lot.

I wore my normal clothes. My shirt, my jeans, my jacket, my sneakers and of course, my beanie. Everyone wonders why I wear a beanie in this hot weather. But the reason why is my other secret. I have a white streak in my hair. Apparently I was born with it. I never take my beanie off unless everyone’s asleep but today Bianca was still asleep so I took it off. Bianca suddenly woke up and saw my white streak. This is why I don’t take my beanie off. I don’t know why I did.

“OMG that streak is so cute! Did you dye it?” She asked.

“Umm yeah sure.” I said.

I was not about to tell her my secret.

I guess she knew I was lying, cause she said, “Tell me the truth Vicki.”

I sat down on my soft, fluffy bed and sighed. Bianca sat down beside me.

“It’s ok. You can tell me.” Bianca said.

“Promise not to tell anyone? Not even my friends?” I said.

“Cross my heart and hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye.” She said.

I took a deep breath.

“Born with it. No one knows why.” I said.

“Do you think maybe…” Bianca started.

“No. She can’t be.” I said.

“Ok. If you say so.”

We sat in silence. It was starting to get awkward. Finally Bianca broke the silence.

“Wanna know a secret?”

I nodded.

“Promise not to tell?”

I nodded again.

“The reason why I don’t live in the castle, is because my parents can’t handle me. They wonder why I’m not quiet like Mom was.” She said.

We laughed. I was considering telling her about my dream, but I didn’t want to ruin the moment. I guess I have a friend who’s an AK. I don’t really mind.

**SAM P.O.V**

Today is a new day. The first day of school which is stressful for everyone but especially me and my friends who just came from the isle and a horrible school there called Dragon Prep. I was so nervous about what Sofia would try to pull this time. I woke up first and got dressed in my typical clothes: blue jeans, a gray-t-shirt and a black jacket. My hair was a mess so I brushed it. Today was my first day so I needed to look perfect. Probably doesn’t even matter because everyone’s gonna judge me anyways but whatever. I got my backpack ready and then strolled through Facebook looking at the stuff people typically post in Auradon; live streams, charity events, selfies, blog updates and more.

We do have somewhat social interaction on the Isle but the app is buggy there and it was more dark web cult like over there since it's all the villains and the VKs and stuff. I waited for Sawyer and Sierra to wake up. Five minutes later they were dressed and ready wearing brighter colors than me.

“Hey. You ready?” Sawyer asked.

“Kinda. I'm really nervous.” I said.

“That's normal on first days. Everyone feels that way. Oh and don't worry about Sofia, we won't let her hurt you. We promise.” Sierra said.

We grabbed our bags and walked downstairs.

“Do you guys have everything?” Nala asked.

“Yeah Mom. We have everything.” Sawyer said.

“Ok….Just..don’t let Sofia hurt Sam. I believe you guys too. Despite being friends with Snow White and willing to give Evie a chance, I never liked Sofia to begin with.” Nala said.

“We won't.” Sawyer said before all three of us walked out of the house and started walking to school.

As soon as we entered the school, all the eyes turned on me and everyone started talking about me.

“Isn’t that the kid who murdered his parents?”

“That is if he ever had loving parents in the first place.”

“I heard he’s the grandson of Scar and Lady Tremaine. Yikes I hate to be Sawyer right now.”

And on and on it just wouldn’t stop. I saw Gemma and Holly walking towards us and I heard more whispers.

“That’s Gothel’s daughter!”

“Didn’t her mom kidnap Rapunzel?”

“I can’t believe Holly’s just walking with her!”

“She must’ve brainwashed Holly.”

Then the queen of the rumors Sofia walked towards us.

“So you actually had the audacity to step foot in this school. That's brave.” Sofia said, smirking.

“Yeah well, we’re taking that chance.” Juliette said from behind us.

“Oh you're gonna regret it. This is my school and no one stands out of line. Sorry, but only people that have actual value are welcome here Sam. You're just a lot less than what is required.” Sofia smugly said.

“Will you just leave us alone?! We did nothing to you to begin with!” I yelled.

Sofia looked angry now.

“You stepped out of line. You have no right to talk to me the way you did.” Sofia said before she grabbed my wrist and yanked me away from Sawyer and Sierra.

“Leave him alone Sofia!” Holly shouted.

Sofia laughed.

“Or what, Princess?” She said.

I tried pulling away.

“LET GO OF ME!!” I said pulling back.

“What would be appropriate? A beat-up from my boyfriend? Or getting shoved in a locker?” Sofia said laughing.

Holly looked almost nervous but then she suddenly realised what was important.

“I said, leave. him. ALONE!!!”

“Yeah I don't care. CHAD!!” Sofia said before this big hunky guy showed up.

Chad, son of Cinderella showed up to his precious princess.

“What do you need Sofia?” Chad said.

I was still pulling away.

“LET GO OF ME!!!!” I shouted.

“Look Sofia, I’m giving you one last chance. Let. him. go! Now!!” Holly said.

“Or?” Sofia said.

“Or….” Holly said.

She took a deep breath and pulled her hair down.

“I let down my hair.” She said.

Everyone in the hall gasped. I guess they never knew Holly had such long hair. To be honest I was a little surprised myself.

“OH NO!! HAIR!!! I'M SO SCARED! Chad beat Sam up please! He needs to learn not to step out of line.” Sofia said and then Chad pinned me to the wall.

He was just about to beat me. The crowd was CHEERING Chad on, Sofia was smirking and my friends were horrified. Right then, Holly used her hair and pulled Chad’s hand back.

Then she shouted, “Someone hand me my pan!”

Sierra tossed the pan to Holly and Holly hit Chad with it.

“HOLLY!!!! THAT IS ENOUGH!!” Shouted a female teacher from the hallway.

“Oh um...Mrs. Claire! I-I-” Mrs. Claire cut Holly off.

“I saw it all. Holly, what you did was very unacceptable. You are not allowed to let your hair down during school hours. Leave Chad and Sofia alone. You have detention.” Mrs. Claire said.

Yes this actually happened before my eyes which were both black now.

“I’m sorry Mrs. Claire, but if you saw everything, then why am I in detention? Sofia deliberately asked Chad to beat Sam. I was trying to protect him!” Holly said.

“For starters Sofia is my straight A student. Everything she does in my class is excellent and not trying to be biased but she might be my favourite student in the school!” Mrs. Claire said.

Everyone gasped. Apparently teachers weren’t allowed to play favourites.

“I’m allowed to play favorites because Sam is a VK. VKs are known for being troublemakers.” Mrs. Claire said.

“Detention for you. 4:00 pm.” Mrs. Claire added before walking away.

Sofia snickered and walked away with her friends and boyfriend leaving me with two black eyes. I was actually on the verge of crying almost.

“I can’t believe Mrs. Claire! How could she do that?!! And Holly-'' Rosabella said.

“Don’t. Just…. don’t.” Holly said walking away.

“Oww both of my eyes hurt so bad…(oww)” I said groaning because they really did hurt.

Sawyer and Sierra looked at each other.

“We need to get him to a nurse after the first hour.” Sawyer said.

“No. Let me.” Someone said. I jumped, startled. Holly came back. I had no idea why.

“Mom taught me a little trick.” She said. She wrapped her hair around my hand and recited some sort of incantation

“*Flower gleam and glow*

*Let your power shine*

*Make the clock reverse*

*Bring back what once was mine*

*What once was mine*”

And just like that my eyes didn’t hurt anymore. They were normal again.

“But I thought-” Gemma started.

“Not really.” Holly said.

“We should probably head to our first hour classes now.” Sawyer said.

“Yeah. We really should.” Juliette said.

And just like that the bell rang. This will be one. long. year. Me, Sawyer and Sierra rushed to our first hour class, Chemistry with Mr. Deley. We entered the room and sat next to Evie, Doug and Lonnie.

“Sam! You're two seconds late. Detention.” Mr. Deley said.

“What?? Mr. Deley, that's not fair! He probably has a reason for being late.” Doug said.

“Plus detention over being two seconds late seems a bit much.” Evie said.

“I don't care. Sam is getting detention. End of discussion.” Mr. Deley said.

Wow. The teachers really have it in for me. What did I ever do to them?

“Anyways we have a new student here from the isle. Care to come to the front and introduce yourself?” Mr. Deley asked.

“Um….okay..”

I walk up to the front of the class. I could see Sofia sitting in the front row smirking at me.

“Hi everyone...My name is Sam...um..I’m 15….I….I’m the grandson of Scar and Lady Tremaine…” but I was interrupted by Sofia throwing her water bottle at me.

“Mr. Deley, he took my pencil!” Sofia said laughing and the whole class except for Evie, Doug, Sawyer and Sierra was laughing too.

“Sam!! Give her her water bottle back this instant!!!” Mr. Deley said.

I handed Sofia her water bottle back and she winked at me.

“Anyways..um...I…”

That's when Sofia stood up and shouted, “Hey!! This is the kid who killed his parents!”

Everyone started whispering to each other and Mr. Deley took 5 steps away from me.

“Sam please sit down. You went overboard.”

My jaw dropped. He was the one who asked me to come up in the first place! Anyways I went back and sat down and Mr. Deley started taking attendance. But Sofia wasn’t done. No no no. She and some of her friends start walking to me.

“Ugh I find the fact that a kid who murdered his own parents is allowed to come here is disgusting.” One girl said.

“I know right? He’s a freak! He needs to be sent back to the isle as soon as possible.” Another girl said.

“May I just say Sofia can do no wrong and is the best student here.” A third girl said.

“Thank you, thank you but we don't have much time before the lesson starts so let's not waste it talking about me and start messing with Sam!” Sofia said smirking.

“Leave him alone Sofia!” A girl said. I had no idea who she was, but she was pretty…

“What are you gonna do? Go-” Sofia started.

“What am I going to do? Better back off or else.” The girl said.

“You’re no fun!” Sofia said and walked away.

But Sofia came back.

“Oh I'm not done.” Sofia grabbed me from behind with the other girls grabbing onto my clothing and stuff.

“HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!” I yelled.

I tried getting their hands off me but they had a tight grip. The girls dragged me off the chair and tossed me on the ground. Everyone around me except for my friends and family laughed.

“SAM!!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT! YOU HAVE DETENTION ALL THIS WEEK FOR JOKING AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Mr. Deley said

“But-” I started.

“No buts, ifs or whats. Is that clear?!” Mr. Deley shouted.

I quietly nodded. Mr. Deley turned around and Sofia walked over to me.

“You know, we can make him really angry.” Sofia said smiling.

“No thanks.” I mumbled.

This is a nightmare.

“Are you sure? It’d be so much fun!” Sofia said, walking to Mr. Deley.

“Please don’t Sofia!” I said knowing what she intends to do.

And she does it. Sofia kicks Mr. Deley from behind making him bash his head on the chalkboard, and then sprays silly string all on his behind and then rushes and puts the silly string on my table

At this point, Mr. Deley is furious.

“SOMEONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Mr. Deley turned to me completely red.

Mr. Deley saw the silly string on my table even though I did nothing.

“Mr. Deley, he didn't do it!” Sawyer said.

“I don't wanna hear it!! Sam’s next trip is to Fairy Godmother’s office!!!” Mr. Deley shouted.

Oh great. I just sat there, frozen in place. Why is my life a huge roller coaster? I just want off this thing!

“WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING IN MY CLASSROOM???!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Mr. Deley shouted, getting angrier.

I'd had enough and finally stood up for myself.

“NO! I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG! WHY AM I GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR GETTING BULLIED AND HARASSED BECAUSE I’M SCAR’S GRANDSON, YET SOFIA, THE GIRL THAT HAS BEEN BULLYING ME SINCE I CAME HERE, GETS AWAY WITH EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I  shouted.

Everyone looked at me shocked and Sofia starts fake crying and everyone except for the people who care about me rushed to her for sympathy and support.

“That’s enough Sam!! Leave my classroom!! Now!!” Mr Deley said.

“Mr. Deley, Sir! If I may.” Someone said. It was that girl again.

“Sam did nothing wrong! And you have no right to assume he did just cause he’s a VK!!” She said.

“Excuse me young lady?!! Who are you to speak to me that way?” Mr. Deley asked.

I’m getting tired of all of this and really sick of Sofia’s fake cries for support.

“LISTEN HERE SOFIA! I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!!! YOU'RE JUST A SPOILED BRAT, OH WAIT NO YOU’RE WORSE THAN THAT!!!! YOU'RE A NARCISSISTIC, CONDESCENDING, SCHOOL TYRANT WHO BERATES AND BULLIES PEOPLE WHO DOES STUFF THAT YOU DON'T LIKE!!!!!!!!! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE SO GET USED TO ME!!!!!” I shouted at the top of my lungs, red in the face at this point.

Mr. Deley nodded a few times.

He bent over and said, “Detention for a month.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Deley, but again, you have absolutely no right to do that!” The girl with the blonde hair with the hint of pink and baby blue said.

“She’s right Mr. Deley! You have no right!” A girl with brown hair said.

“No no! Please punish Sam!! He victimized me! Sam deserves to be punished for HARASSING ME!!” Sofia shouted screeching like a toddler.

“Sam did harass Sofia. For that reason I have every right to punish him.” Mr Deley said.

“No you don’t! We saw the whole thing!” The blonde haired girl said.

“Yeah! It was Sofia who harassed Sam!! So SHE should be punished!!!”  The brown haired girl said.

“Audrey. You're in detention as well for a month. Sofia did nothing wrong. I will be calling your parents and Sam’s Uncle and informing them about this event. This is unacceptable and you need to treat Sofia with the most respect.” Mr. Deley said. “Now...Audrey and Sam...Go to the Headmistress’s office. I don't want you in my classroom.” Mr. Deley said

I was so mad but I just gave up and left the room with Audrey (the blonde hair girl) following after me.

“This is the worst day ever. Everyone hates me.” I mumbled to myself.

A few moments later two girls came into the office. One of them was the brown haired girl and the other was Holly.

“Bianca?! What happened?!!” Audrey asked the brown haired girl.

“Unfair judgement happened.” Bianca said.

“Same for me.” Holly said.

Could this day get any worse?

“Please sit down you four.” Fairy Godmother said.

The four of us sit down.

“Mr. Deley called me and seemed pretty upset on the phone. He said that Sam purposely derailed the entire class and physically assaulted and humiliated him.” Fairy Godmother said.

“That's not true! It was Sofia that started it all!” Audrey said.

“I'm sorry to say but Mr. Deley is telling a completely different tale and considering that he's a teacher I'm inclined to believe him a bit more.” Fairy Godmother said.

In all honesty I do understand why Fairy Godmother is feeling this way and don't blame her but still Mr. Deley is biased and Sofia has been treating me like garbage. Suddenly someone burst into the office.

“Mom?!” Holly said.

“What’s going on?! Why was my daughter given detention?!” Rapunzel demanded.

That's when Sofia came in. Oh dear.

“Hello everyone. I believe I have a logical explanation for this tragic situation! Our lesson was massacred by one person, one student, one VK. The person that sealed the doom of the lesson is……. Sam!” Sofia said trying to be all dramatic pointing at me.

I rolled my eyes. This is absurd. Then Simba and Nala, Aurora and Phillip, and Belle and Beast came in.

“What's going on??” Simba asked.

“Ummm….. this isn’t what it looks like. Or sounds like.” Bianca said.

Fairy Godmother explained the story from Mr. Deley and Sofia and then Audrey, Bianca and I all told the same story.

“Uh no! Why would you ever believe that! Just ask the teachers! Mr. Deley and Mrs. Claire!” Sofia said.

That's when Mrs. Claire came into the room.

“Yes I have seen with my own eyes that Sam and Holly were harassing Sofia!!” Mrs. Claire said.

“Holly Fiztherbert!!” Rapunzel shouted.

“No!! That’s not what happened please listen to us!!” I said.

“Sam a lot of teachers are saying this is the case! Why? Why would you do all of this?!” Simba asked, getting angry.

“We didn’t do it!!” I said again.

“Stop lying. Lying only makes things worse!” Mrs. Claire said.

Really? Lying? She was the one playing favourites!

“Mom, you have to believe us! We didn’t do anything! You can ask the entire student body! They were there!” Holly said.

“Holly, I’m sorry to say this, but you’re grounded. For a month.” Rapunzel said.

“But-” Holly started.

“No buts.” Rapunzel said.

“Yes Mom.” Holly said, clearly annoyed.

“Same goes for you Sam.” Simba said.

“And you Bianca.” Beast said.

Aurora and Phillip didn’t say anything, they just raised their eyebrows. Audrey got the hint. This is the worst day ever. Of course Sofia was smirking. I wanted so badly to slap that smirk right off her face. But that would only get me in more trouble. Why is my life a crazy emotional roller coaster? No one had the time or energy to meet up at lunch, so we agreed to do that tomorrow.

I thought at least this day couldn't get any worse. But the car ride home just got even worse. Nala didn’t say anything if anything she seemed like she believed us but was too scared to say anything but Simba started judging me.

“Wow. I mean wow. Seriously Sam?! This was the first day and you're already causing trouble?!!” Simba asked getting angrier and angrier.

“Dad Sam is innocent! He did nothing wrong!” Sawyer said.

“Then how come Mr. Deley, Mrs. Claire and Fairy Godmother all said the same thing?!!” Simba asked.

“Mr. Deley thought it was me, Fairy Godmother wasn’t there when it happened, and Mrs. Claire outright said she favored Sofia! Oh and Sofia had her boyfriend punch me in the face!!” I said

“If you were punched in the face you would have bruises all over your face!!!” Simba said.

“Well that's because Holly healed me.” I retorted.

Simba scoffed. Wow. He really does hate me.

“Oh please! Stop making things up!! We all know that Sofia didn’t do anything wrong! You have no proof against her!!! Honestly what were you thinking?!!! Your first class and already you have detention for a month!!! Seriously?! What is wrong with you?! No shocker you're Scar’s grandson!!” Simba said.

Ok. That one hurt.

“SIMBA THAT'S ENOUGH!!!” Nala shouted.

I can’t believe it. My own uncle won’t believe me. This is the worst day ever. I almost wanna go back to the isle. We drove back to the house everyone silent.

“Everyone go to your rooms. I don’t want to speak to you for the rest of the day.” Simba said.

I got out of the car, ran inside and upstairs to Sawyer's room. That’s when I started hearing shouting from downstairs.

“SIMBA, WHAT MADE YOU THINK WHAT YOU SAID WAS OK?!!” Nala shouted.

“SAM GOT IN TROUBLE AT SCHOOL!! I NEEDED TO ADDRESS IT!!!” Simba shouted back.

“NO! WHAT YOU SAID WAS OUT OF LINE!! EVEN IF THE TEACHERS WERE TELLING THE TRUTH, YOU WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU NEEDED TO SAY!” Nala shouted.

I heard some more shouting, doors slamming and then silence. I hope everything is ok. I sighed. I just want off this crazy ride.

**Holly P.O.V**

“*Flower gleam and glow*

*Let your power shine*

*Make the clock reverse*

*Bring back what once was mine*

*What once was mine*”

I heard someone say. Who would know the Sundrop incantation except Mom, Gemma, Gothel and me? Suddenly I saw someone with a little blue stone. I had no idea what it was, but I knew I’d seen it before. I heard the person with a stone recite an incantation.

“*Crescent high above*

*Evolving as you go*

*Raise what lies beneath*

*And let the darkness grow*

*Bend it to my will*

*Consume the sunlight’s glow*

*Rise into the sky*

*And let the darkness grow*

*Let darkness grow*”

I knew I’d heard it before but where? I didn’t have a second to think though, cause the next thing I know, some familiar rocks start to grow out of the ground. They were heading straight towards me. I didn’t know what to do, but then I found myself holding a piece of paper with an incantation I never saw before. Not knowing what else to do, I recited it.

“*Power of the Sun*

*Gift me with your light*

*Shine into the dark*

*Restore our fading sight*

*Rise into the dawn*

*Blazing star so bright*

*Burn away the strife*

*Let my hope ignite*

*Let hope ignite*”

The rocks disappeared. Then I saw Mom trapped in some kind of amber. I tried using the incantation but then more rocks came towards me and hit me. I gasped and woke up. I started to pant a bit. Gemma woke up too, looking scared.

She saw me and said, “Is something wrong?” I told her about my dream.

“I had the same dream.” Gemma said.

“What does it mean?” I asked.

“I don’t know… but we should ask your mom.” Gemma said.

I hope Mom knows what it means. Otherwise, who knows what could happen?
