"Father what do you want from me??" asked Maddie as she was kneeling down and her head was faced to the ground, she was having the same realistic dream again, she was in the dark all alone and could only feel her Father's cold aura.
"Haha what a funny Question Maddison, but you will know soon enough" said Azazel and as soon as he said that Maddie started feeling indescribable pain and she cried out.
Maddie woke up in the dark room once again, panting and with a cold sweat once again, she looked at the clock and saw that it was just 10pm, she stood up and went to the Bathroom to splash water on her face to calm herself down.
The Nightmares seemed to be getting worse and worse every time she went to sleep, why was this happening? what did she do to deserve this??asked Maddie to herself as she looked at her stressed face and scattered hair in the mirror.
Maddie heaved a sigh and went into her covers and tried to go back to sleep.
The Next day, Stella didn't join everyone for Breakfast as usual, everyone just thought that she was busy and especially with what happened yesterday.
Maddie was tired since she didn't sleep well during the night, the scenes from her nightmares kept on popping into her head which made her fear, Annie was started to get really worried about Maddie but every time she asked what was going on Maddie just responded with a "Nothing" or "It's fine i'm just a bit tired" but that didn't stop Annie from Worrying.
After Breakfast everyone went to see off Mr. and Mrs. Grey and Curtis.
"Goodbye Mom, Dad have a safe trip!" said Annie as she smiled
"Aww yes we will you stay safe sweetie!!" said Mrs. Grey as she kissed Annie's forehead.
"Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Grey have a safe trip" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Aww Maddie we will Thank you!" said Mrs. Grey as she hugged her and Maddie smiled even more.
"Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Grey" said Matt
"Thank you Matt!!" said Mrs. Grey.
Mr. Grey moved closer to Matt's ear and said "Take care of my girl and nothing more"
Matt gulped and said "Yes i will Sir, have a safe trip"
"Mhmm" replied Mr. Grey.
"Well Byeee Curtis come back soon" said Annie
"Yes i will" said Curtis
"Byeee Curtis!!!" said Evie as she came and hugged him and ran back inside.
"That little girl stole a hug from me" he sighed.
"Haha Evie likes you" said Annie as she and Maddie laughed
"Lis come back soon okay!" said Lucinda and Mrs. Grey "Oh i will Lucinda you take care now" said Mrs. Grey as she hugged Lucinda.
Meanwhile Mr. Grey and Lucas were shaking each other's hand and seemed to be silently communicating.
"Okay now let's go" said Curtis as he entered the Carriage.
Annie, Maddie and Matt were in awe, because Curtis said that the Carriage was being drawn by magical invisible horses, and all they could hear were neighs.
Mr. and Mrs. Grey entered the Carriage and waved one last goodbye, the coachman hit the invisible horses with a whip and they were gone in superspeed.
"Annie remind me that we have to try the Carriage too when they get back" said Maddie as she looked excited.
"Haha i will" said Annie and they all went back inside.
Three days had passed and Curtis and Annie's Parents were not back yet, Annie got worried and asked Stella if she knew anything and Stella said that Curtis had sent her a message saying that they were going to stay a bit longer and that they would be back soon and Annie said "Okay"
The next day it was time to see off another Family, it was the Sundews.
"Byee Annie i will miss you" said Evie as she pretended to cry.
"Haha yes i will miss you too" said Annie as she hugged Evie.
"Hey what about me?" asked Maddie with a fake annoyed look on her face.
"Well oh you are mean so i won't miss you" said Evie with a playful smile on her face.
"Oh is that so??" asked Maddie and Evie nodded.
"Okay then it means that i should live up to your expectations and cast a spell that turns your hair green" said Maddie as she flashed a wicked grin.
"Ahh no, Annie tell your friend to let me be" said Evie as she clutched her hair and went to go hide behind Annie.
"Haha you two cut it out" said Annie as she laughed.
"Haha okay i will, i was just joking, see you later Evie!" said Maddie as she winked.
"Hmm Okay see you later" said Evie but when she saw Maddie wink, she immediately went full speed and entered into the Carriage.
"Maddie what did you do?" asked Annie as she laughed.
"Well Nothing" said Maddie.
Matt came over to where the girls were standing and said "Well i guess that this is Goodbye"
"Matt Hi, well i guess it is, so Goodbye see you soon and Goodluck with your Grandfather" said Annie
"Haha yes well you too, and about my Grandfather i am not so sure i mean you all know the history" said Matt as he ran his fingers through his orange-reddish hair.
"Well don't i hear that Grandparents are very soft with their Grandchildren, so no worries just be yourself" said Annie
"Yes you are right i will" said Matt and Annie smiled
"Well Bye Matt" said Maddie
Matt came over and hugged Maddie and whispered in her ear "Well Take care of Annie i am counting on you!" and he winked and entered the Carriage.
Lucinda came over and Annie hugged her and said "Goodluck Aunt Luc, take care and see you later"
Lucinda hugged her back and said "Same to you Dear" and with that she let go and entered the Carriage.
This time this Carriage did not have Invisible Horses, but rather visible ones and they were all brown about four of them.
The Coachman whipped the horses and with that they were gone.
"Well i guess it's only you and me Annie!!" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Hahha yes Maddie" said Annie as they walked back inside.
"Hey how come Matt hugged Maddie but he didn't hug me??" thought Annie to herself.
"Hmm Maybe he just forgot??" thought Annie to herself.
Dinner was boring, since it was only Maddie and Annie at the table, since everyone had travelled and Stella had been busy.
After dinner Annie and Maddie went to bed, The Palace was very quiet and empty that is almost exerted an eerie feeling.
"Goodnight Maddie, have sweet dreams" said Annie as she closed her eyes to sleep.
"Goodnight Annie, you too" said Maddie with a worried look on her face, but Annie couldn't see it because her eyes were closed.
After a while Annie fell into deep sleep, but Maddie was still awake, she didn't want to sleep so she could escape the horrible nightmares that she had been having, but alas she could not and eventually fell asleep.
Maddie woke up in, her and Annie's room, but she knew that this was a dream, she could feel it in her bones, the room was very dark for some reason, the windows were locked shut and no light entered the room.
Maddie looked over to Annie's bed and she saw that Annie was sleeping, Maddie walked over to Annie's bed and she fell down on her knees when she saw a horror.
Annie looked like she was sleeping with a smile on her face but that was far from the truth, Annie's blanket was soaked with blood and there was a hole in Annie's chest where blood was coming out from.
Maddie cried and put her hand on Annie's chest to try to stop the blood but it didn't work, Maddie's hands were now covered in blood and she cried "Annie who did this to you?? who??" she said as she sobbed.
Just then Azazel's cold evil voice came resounding in her ears "Well you did it Maddison it was you" he said as he laughed an horrible laugh.
"No no it can't be me i would never do that" said Maddie as she looked at her blood stained hands.
"Yes you would and you will" said Azazel and as soon as he said that Maddie fell down and fell into a trance she said glass shattering, she saw herself in the bathroom looking into the mirror, but the person's reflection in the mirror looked like her but her eyes were different and filled with a killing intent.
She broke the mirror and took one of the broken pieces of glass from the floor and walked over to where Annie was sleeping and without any regret at all she plunged the piece of glass into Annie's chest, and Annie cried out in pain.
And all the while that Annie was crying in pain the fake Maddie was just laughing hysterically like a maniac.
"This is the true you Maddison embrace it" said Azazel's voice as it rang in Maddie's ears.
Maddie covered her ears and screamed as Azazel's voice kept on resounding in her ears, joined together with the fake Maddie's psychotic laughter.
"Ahhhhhhhh" screamed Maddie and with that she woke up panting.
Maddie looked around the room, the windows were opened which let the sunlight in, Maddie's eyes moved to Annie's bed, she saw that it was empty and she was about to stand up looking for Annie when she heard the shower running and she sighed in relief.
Maddie was lost in thought and she did not notice that Annie had come out of the bathroom with a white bathrobe "Good Morning Maddie" said Annie with a smile as she walked to the closet to get dressed.
"Oh Umm Good Morning Annie how was your night?" asked Maddie
"It was good and how was yours, what are you thinking about?" asked Annie as she saw that Maddie was absent minded.
"Huh??" asked Maddie.
"I said what are you thinking about?" asked Annie once again as she had just finished wearing her jeans and top.
"Oh nothing i was just tired" said Maddie as she lied.
"You see that's why i let you sleep in late today, because you have been tired throughout this week" said Annie with a worried tone.
"Oh don't worry about me" said Maddie
"Are you sure?" asked Annie
"Yes i am sure so go down for breakfast i will be there soon i just need to get ready" said Maddie as she stood up from her bed and walked over to where Annie was standing and pushed her out the door.
"Okay okay fine see you later!" said Annie as the door was shut at her.
"Hmm Maddie is acting really strange lately?? well maybe she's just tired" said Annie to herself as she walked to the dining room.
Meanwhile behind the door in the room Maddie had rested her back behind the door and she was hugging her knees and sighed.
She stood up to go brush her teeth and when she rinsed her reflection in the mirror had a creepy smile, that could only be seen for a spilt second.
