"ain't you supposed to concentrate ,you should focus on this maths lesson,it's more important " Ilario said sounding concerned . " Well mathematics is the least of my troubles right now. So what do remember from the map ?" Keisha asked eager to know. " Well it's a map of vortexes ,portals of realms and the convergence of the world. And the bracelet being the key , basically because I'm in it which almost the same thing we found in the first book we took in the library that time . " Ilario explained .
" I think we should study both books at once I'm sure they both have different information in them . And im sure someone is digging up the same information we're looking for, or they are trying to cover up their tracks so that we won't find anything. " Says Keisha
" Something is fishy either-or " Ilario said sounding serious ..
" You know there's something about this school that doesn't make sense to me . If we are digging up ancient history then how old is this place?is it even real ? Or it's all an illusion. And if so are some of these teachers real or they are just guardians or the last ones who sacrificed their magic for the sake of protecting their home . Honestly whispering pines is now strange ,I really saw it that very day that woman appeared to me . " Keisha says sounding rather sure and confused at the same time.
" Do you think she really wanted to help or it's a trap you were supposed to fall in" Ilario asked
" Mhhh I didn't think of it that way before ,but you know what It might be both . Some of the souls are all trapped here, especially royalty , I feel like maybe that woman wanted me to see that I'm not the only one whose digging for answers or they might try to use me to do the things they can't do because they are trapped meaning,the magic here is still there so the trapped souls can't cross certain boundaries." Keisha said with a smirk on her face . " Now that's a genius's mind" Ilario said.
" But do you thi.... Keisha didn't get to finish her statement when she saw the most shocking thing ever ' words were being written in bold letter on the white board in red ink ' HELP US' Keisha got frightened but she felt like something had taken over her at that moment. She stood up and headed straight to the board with her eyes focused on the words . She felt herself touching the boarding as if trying to see if it is all real . ' SET US FREE ,BRING BACK LOST MAGIC AND RESTORE OUR REALM ' another writing appeared Keisha felt her knees getting weak . What's happening ,is she dreaming, whose ' us ' how many more souls are trapped here .
This was all too much for her to handle she thought it's only Ilario she's supposed to save now she has a whole kingdom to set free on her own really now? She felt her head spin ,her wrist was now in pain as the bracelet tightened on her wrist ,glowing in the most strange way imitating green ,red and purple colours . When she touched the bracelet she heard a lot of voices of crying people, people crying in misery ,pain , silent cries of those who were ready to give up , .
When she closed her eyes she had a vision of herself running in the forest near the school as if looking for someone , the oak trees whispered in a language she felt like she could understand but something was blocking her senses to understand the words. After running for a while she saw a figure with blonde hair going through a door in the forest ? A door in the middle of nowhere ? Or it is a portal to the other realm .
She got near the door and tried to open it but her hand got burnt , the girl with blonde hair appeared again but facing down ' you can't help us alone ,you will need help ,but only the people who are trustworthy ' the girl with blonde hair said as she turned to walk away she then looked back at Keisha , she looked familiar those blue ocean eyes ,the constant changing face expressions. It had to be someone close she knew ..but who ?
"Wait who are you ? " Keisha asked with her eyes welling up with tears . " Who I am or what I am is not important" the girl said and disappeared . Keisha found herself screaming and rolling on the ground .
" Ms Keisha are you okay, what's happening with you,are you seeing things,you have been murmuring strange words and touching the board " Mrs Jenny Nyn asked looking frightened and confused by her behavior.
" Yes I'm fine , I think I have started sleep walking again I'm sorry for disturbing " Keisha said as she stood up to go back to her desk ,when she saw all students looking at her in a strange way . But, there was nothing she could do because she didn't know anything that was happening,she was in another realm and it felt real she thought as she sat down.
" Well students that's all for today . Nora please make sure you help your friend with on the assignment,and Ms Keisha no sleeping during my lesson this will be the last time. " Mrs Jenny Nyn said giving a sound warning at the end .

"And what happened to you during the lesson girl that was scary " Zelda asked in a playful tone .
" You know ever since last week you have been behaving strange , and suddenly you now staying at the boarding house like seriously.. I thought we were friends Kei , you couldn't even tell Nora your best friend, " Mandy said sounding very worked up .
" Guys let her be , people change, let Keisha be ,we not as important as we thought we were " Nora said looking at Keisha with eyes full of hurt. Keisha knew she had really hurt her friends . They told each other everything but this was serious even though the girl with blonde hair had said she needs to look for help , she knew it was the perfect time .
" Guys I'm sorry, I'll tell you everything when I'm in a better mood , a lot is happening I just need to sort out a few things first. " Keisha said sounding sincere .
"We will see then , see you later my coach has arrived," Zelda said picking up her sports back heading to the basketball court . Well she was the only person who really loved sports among us. " I guess we will see you later ,our clubs are about to begin aswell . "Nora and Mandy both said as they headed to the club halls leaving her all alone . Well she stopped doing sports and quit all the clubs aswell perhaps it was bound to happen because she needs all the time to focus on finding the answers .
Keisha was so focused on her books and didn't hear footsteps approaching near her. " Your books seem interesting the person standing next to her said "
Keisha immediately closed the books and put them in her back . Then looked up and saw Tori Decker smiling at her but in a strange way .
" Yeah well I love reading" Keisha said feeling uneasy . There was something about Tori's aura that made her feel weak and vulnerable but somehow she maintained her cool .
" Oh is it , what's interesting about reading ancient books " Tori mischievously asked .
" How did you know it was ancient " Keisha asked looking confused. Tori just chuckled. Keisha looked at Tori for a while and noticed the most terrifying things ,... Tori had blonde hair and ocean blue eyes could it be that ? ..... No no it can't that soul is trapped.
" Whispering Pines, will never be the same again" Tori said startling Keisha with her statement.....what did she mean .
Who is Tori ? ....
