Rose

  Elle Cream is dead! Oh my roses, that is such a sad shock!
Midnight was sobbing, I heard her before. I felt a little sorry for her, but I could nnot get myself in a state, now could I? The tears would make my complexion wet. I push the door to my room open. I glide upstairs, and once in my room, sit myself on a plush, red stool. I look into the mirror of my black vanity table, and take my makeup out of the drawers. Just as I apply another coat of red lipstick, I hear a scream...

Violet

  I can't bear this any more. Death. Screams... I cry harder and harder. I realise that I'm losing water and I see a bottle of water on the side. Weird- where did that come from? However, I don't care any more, so I drink it. At that moment, I hear a scream and I start to black out, searing pains going through my body. I reach for my wand and just manage to make sure my energy won't end for the next half an hour before I hear a far away thump and everything goes black.

Midnight

Another scream wakes me from my slumber. I teleport over to Violets, afaid of what I might find. Her body lies on the floor, a bottle of water still in her hand.... I touch it. It stings like mad, and acid. There might still be time for her though. I check her pulse, it is there but faint and slowing.... I teleport over to everyone else. Every single one in a coma. I teleport them all back to mine. I try to think. Come on, come on! Then... I'm healthy. I havent drunk anything- poison or not. I-I could save them all! But what would happen to me? Its never been done before... But theres a first time for everything...

I build up all apart from a last drop of my health into a ball. I feel faint.....NO.NOT NOW! I split the ball into as many as there are people. Each one flows into the heart of my friends.A second of awful silence.Then.....I hear coughing and retching. My friends, they are waking up! But I, however, am falling asleep.....

Rose

  "Midnight?" I ask. Her eyes are droopy, and she seems to be kneeling on the floor.
"Thank you, Midnight! You have cured me! Oh come on, surely you are not having ANOTHER beauty sleep?" I sigh.But she seems to be getting drowsier. Violet hoists her up, but Mid's eyes are now firmly shut.
"Middy!" cried Violet. No answer.

Midnight

  I can feel myself slipping... I see the blurring shapes of Rose and Violet over me.... I whisper" Goodbye".

"No! No! you CANT go! I wont let you!" cries Violet. But she is now just a voice in the distance. Black...

Rose

"NO!" sobs Violet. Tears stream down her cheeks. I gently put a hand on her shoulder. She looks at me in disbelief, as if she thinks it is astonishing that I can actually show sympathy. What a load of riff raff!

"There is always another way, Violet," I say softly.

"No," she wails. "Don't you see? This isn't a fairytale! This is reality!"

"We could bury her next to***," I whisper. "It would be what she would have wanted,"

In reply, Violet weeps into her hands. I feel sudden anger at whoever caused such suffering. They would pay...

Midnight

Black.... Something clicks. I'm dying. But...I can think. But I cant move anything. Which means....I'm i a coma. Soo....I'm not dead! and I can hear a faint sound, as if someone is mumbling in my ear. I try to signal to them that I am still alive. But I can't. Its just beyond my reach. I let out a stangled sob. I-let-out-a-starngled-sob! They surely noticed! I try to do it again, but it is impossible. My last chance of showing them I am ALIVE has gone. But if they no they could help...Right?

"Just hang in there, girl. Just hang in there." I think to myself.

Then I feel my heart stop. And start. And flutter.

It regains its steady pace. But then I realise. If I don't-If THEY don't do something soon-I'm gonna die.

Rose

"Rose? ROSE? Oh alright, Ma'am Black?"

Still no answer. I can't answer. My red lips do not move. My pale, blue eyes are completely focused on Midnight Charm. Did... Did she just sob?

"Powder! I need powder! VIOLET! I NEED POWDER!"

"Huh?"

"IN MY HOUSE! GET ME POWDER FROM MY VANITY!"

Ten minutes later, Violet reappears with my powder. I run into Midnight's kitchen, and turn the tap on. Then, I gasp. Instead of spurting out water, the tap is spurting out poison!

Whoever did this will PAY, I think. Grabbing the electronic kettle, I mix water with my powder, and dash into the lounge. Then, I pour the stuff into Midnight's mouth.

This HAS to work, I think...

Midnight

I'm just thinking of how nice it would be if my friends had not abadoned me and I was now in the land of the moving, when I Gagged like I had a stomach bug. Somethind been forced DOWN MY THROAT!!! I cough and retch, trying in Vain to get the daRn thing out of my mouth. Someone hastily takes out whatever was in there, and I can now open my eyes. I try and flex my fingers but I can't. So I can see, but I am paralysed. And I can talk again! "Hey," I mutter, a smile spreading on my face to see Violet, tear tracks still visable on her cheeks, and Rose, a shein of sweat on her brow. " Don't drink that.It's pioson" I murmer. They others laugh, relived that I am still with them. No...I-I think Violet is more than relieved. I can see something in her eyes....She is happy that I live....She-she cares about me! For a moment, something flickers in my heart. Something strange, and warm......

Rose

"We are very glad you are alive," I announce, before telling both Violet and Mid about the poison in the sink.

"Who could have done that?" Midnight asks, when suddenly, yet another, blood curdling scream is heard!

"Oh no," Violet says, her face turning white. "The Ancient Child!"
