Chapter 6: Doom.. or Destiny?
Cynthia coughed, "A room.. full of dusty boxes.." She looked around the room, and picked up each box and set them back down, then she found an old collection of atlas. The maps indicated something was down there. She finally noticed a lever, Agatha whispered, "It's a trap.." Cynthia scoffed, "Probably not, now go be useful and fly though the floors, please." Agatha sighed, "Ok! Fine, but if it's a trap, you're so done, young lady!" She warned and flew through the floor, it was a secret chamber, Cynthia gripped the leverage and pulled on it, the hatch in the floor open, and it displayed a secret chamber with stairs heading down, the room was light with torches, Cynthia grabbed a torch, Agatha whimpered, "What is this place?" Felix was looking around in the boxes and pulled the lever, he dropped into the chamber and landed on Cynthia and Aggy, "Sorry, you guys!" He yelled, Cynthia scowled and put a finger on her lip, "Shh, be quiet.." They go down the steps of the dungeon. Water drips and screams as it drops to it's doom on the floor. Goosebumps surround the three and chokes them with fright, they hear roars down, Cynthia gasps, "Something is coming!" The three hide inside a cabinet. The horrendous beast searches the room, then scurries away, and comes back 5 seconds later. Cynthia whispered, "This beast must be patrolling the area, look!" She point to.. a black rose with golden thorns. Agatha whispered back, "Okay, that's pretty, but dangerous." Cynthia stares at her, replying, "Girl, you are a ghost. You should sneak past the beast and break the spell. "What if I get caught." Cynthia smacks her forehead, "You are a ghost. Clearly, a puny beast cannot see you!" Agatha sighed and zoomed past the rose, and broke the glass which it displayed in. Glass shattered with an angry scream. The beast roared, then calmed down, and slouched. It was.. crying? Cynthia and her friends went to him, Cynthia asked, "Hey, what happened?" She went to touch the beast, but the beast flinched and roared, "Don't touch me!" Cynthia asked inquisitively once again, "Tell me everything.." The beast reluctantly sighed, "Fine.. it's just.. no one loved me for who I am. They think I'm a horrid, scary beast.. I just want to be like everyone else." Cynthia glared at him with a flash of sympathy, "Oh, you don't need to fit in. Everyone is diverse in their own way." She gave him a comforting hug, and smiled and hugged her back, a tear rolling down his cheek, "Thank you for breaking the spell Amelia put on me.." Cynthia flashed with curiosity, "Who's this Amelia?"
