Unlike the other rooms. The room wasn't entirely dark. The room was wider, even wider than the room they had previously arrived in. The room had a light bulb at the center of the ceiling. It was just one light bulb, but it was able to magically power the entire room.
The room had sections of books by the left side and right side. Each book talking about Magic or Dark Magic to be precise. At the center of the room was a table and a pretty girl could be seen lying on the long table and it was Emily Pemberton. The girl they had been searching for all this while...
"Emily!" Lillian shouted as she ran to where Emily was. But still Emily didn't budge.
The others were also excited to see Emily, but they didn't shout like Lillian did, they didn't want to draw attention. Who knows who owns this room?
They all entered and the doors closed behind them. They could see the confused look on Lillian's face so they all went to check up on Emily.
Getting to where Emily was. They could see it. The girl looked almost dead. Her skin was pale like a Vampire who hadn't seen blood to drink for a while. She also looked a little old. Like a lady almost going to her eighties but her eyes were what took Miller by surprise. They were still filled with life, as if they were begging for help. Her hair was losing and was now white. In short, she looked like a granny.
"What!" Catherine uttered.
As she instantly went to Emily's chest. She placed her two hands on her chest and a white energy glow could be seen leaving her hand.
"What's that?" Miller asked the System. "Do you have any idea what that is?"
"That's life energy, Miller." The System replied. "Whoever did this was gradually draining Emily of her energy. Catherine is trying to transfer her own life energy to her."
"I don't think Catherine's Energy would be enough. Tell her to transfer your own energy." The System advised.
Looking at Catherine, Miller could see that her body was weakening. With his X-ray, he could see her body gradually falling. Looking at Emily, her finger had started moving gradually. But she needs more energy to stand up.
"Use me." Miller said. "Use my energy on her."
"What." Catherine replied. "I don't know if you might survive it or not."
"Do you want to save Emily or Not!" Miller snapped almost instantly.
Catherine obeyed. She placed her left hand on Miller's chest as he was standing and her right hand on Emily's chest. A white glow could be seen again...
[EP: 0/100]
[-50 STAMINA POINTS]
[Stamina: 45/100]
Miller's body staggered a bit as he almost fell. But he quickly regained his foot. The first thing that run out was his Energy Points and then later his Stamina Points.
'What kind of energy. It was enormous.' Catherine thought a bit worried. 'What exactly are you, Miller?'
"My head hurts." A voice mumbled as she held her head.
Looking at Emily, everyone could see she was now alright. She looked like her natural Sixteen year old girl. Her skin was now smooth as before. Her body looked energetic, but she was holding her head in pain.
Lillian was the first to get to Emily and ask her questions. "Emily who did this to you?"
"I cannot remember." Emily said. "Who is Emily. Is that my name?"
This words shocked all of them in the room. It seems like whoever did this to her used Magic to cover up his tracks.
"Emily, it's me Lillian... Can't you remember." Lillian said as tears started to run through her cheeks.
Emily shocked her head indicating her No.
"But do you remember us." Watson said pointing at everyone in the room.
"I don't even know how i got here." Emily replied.
"I know what to do." Catherine suggested. "She was under the control of Someone who practiced Dark Magic. That person would have done this to her to cover up his tracks."
"I know someone who can help her get back her memories. That means i would have to leave this school." Catherine concluded. "With her."
"You can't just leave with her like that." Miller said. He still didn't trust Catherine fully.
"He is right." Alex who had been quiet this entire time finally spoke. "Isn't their another way."
"None." Catherine said. "She would be safe with me. I can assure you that."
"Even if she is going to be safe with you. We cannot guarantee that she is going to be safe with the other person." Lillian said.
"She will." Catherine replied almost instantly.
"There must be another way." Miller insisted.
"Look at her, even with your energy. Her own energy is still being taken and we have to do something about it. To cut the connection between she and the person that did this." Catherine said.
"Miller that's true." The System advised. "For once i support Catherine. She is right."
Miller kept quiet for some seconds until he heard Emily's voice:
"I want you to take me." Emily said. "I want to remember my past. Who i was. What i am. And everything about me. I also want to stop getting weaker."
Right now, everyone in the room didn't have a choice. It was Emily's well being they were talking about.
"How long are you going to take." Lillian asked.
"Not long. Just some hours. I would arrive here tomorrow evening." Catherine replied.
Catherine started performing a spell. She sat on the floor and then gradually a portal started to open underneath their feet.
"This portal would take you exactly to your Hostel room." Catherine said.
In almost an instant, the Portal swallowed all of them and everyone went to their hostel rooms and Catherine went to a different place.
As Miller and his roommates landed in their room. This words popped at his retina:
[Quest]
[Survive all the attacks you receive from this place]

[An Instant Level Up]
[Congratulations! You are now in Level 13]

*******
Moments later, in the same room a figure appeared from the walls. This person was dressed in hood that covered all his body features so one wouldn't be able to detect who he was.
He was a Dark Magician. The person who had abducted Emily. As he entered the room where Emily was, he didn't even budge. In an instant, he summoned his DeathyClaws.
The DeathyClaws appeared and he asked it what happened. Using it's magic, it was able to see the Students that had come in here to take her body.
The Magician clenched his fist and said:
"Miller Edward, You didn't allow me catch enough souls last full Moon. I hope you don't plan to do thesame thing this time. If not there would be numerous deaths all caused by you."
