Chapter 11
Olives POV ( point of view )
Most of Dominic's lower body is covered in ice, stopping him from moving at all. I watch him attempt to use his powers but nothing happens. The other girls high-five, happy with their success.
"Well, well, well. I guess we've won, eh? What are you going to do now Olive?" Tiffany questions me, sitting herself down at her desk. I sigh and think about accepting my defeat. I get up from my bed and walk towards Dominic, who is still frozen.
"I don't know what to do." I whisper to him. He doesn't look very hopeful either.
"I would help but I can't get out. I don't know how." He says back to me, struggling.I turn around very slowly to face the girls.
"Ok, we give up." I say and motion towards the door. They all look up and grin. "I'm sorry Clover." I think to myself.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom...
Clovers POV
I attempt for the millionth time to reach the window but I fail again, falling back onto the floor. By this point, most of my energy is gone and the bruise on my butt is slowly growing.
Why has my first week of school going like this? It wasn't like I was asking for trouble in this school. If only I wasn't put in Tiffany's, Mia's and Rebecca's dorm, I would've done fine.
I glance back up to the window. But deep down, I realise that I have no choice but to use my powers. If I want to get out of this stuffy bathroom, I have to.
I think about all the terrifying nightmares I'll have tonight in a result of me using my powers. Of people dying, such as my parents and maybe even the new friends I made this week. But I have to do it, I need to do it.
I hold my hands out in front of me, trembling with fear. I haven't used my stronger powers in such a long time that I've forgotten how to activate them or if they'll even work. I focus deep down, praying for it to work.
I close my eyes and think. Think of my past and what has happened to me. Getting adopted and living through my life with nightmares several times in a night, having to find my way to get through life without showing anyone my powers.
I open my eyes and hope that something has happened but I get nothing. But now I've realised that I have to go deeper into my past. The darker time in my past. To the time my parents died. I take a deep breath in, preparing myself for what I have to do next.
I squeeze my eyes shut and think deeper into my childhood. The demon stabbing my parents, making them fall to the floor.
Seeing them take their last breaths as blood spills out of them
Them dead on the cold, hard rubble. And I was all alone.
Burying their dead bodies.
Never seeing them ever again.
A vision or a dream ( ooooo )
"Are you sure its going to work? Will we really kill her?"A person asks. I look around where I am. A rope is going around me, tying my body to a chair.
"Yes, it has to be done. And if we don't kill that girl, she'll just come back with more allies." A woman says, standing at a large podium. My heart quickens as I realise what is going on.
They both peer down at me. No emotion is seen from their faces.
"Ok, master. Guards! Take her away to the Dragon Room. And then after, kill the rest!" The first person orders pointing directly at me. I only then notice the several people behind me, all also tied to chairs.
Every single person is looking straight at me. Their eyes flash of fear.
I feel broad hands grab sides and lift me from out the rope. I squirm and wriggle, trying to get out of their grasp. But its no use. The crowd behind me are now shouting at the woman to let me go but she doesn't listen.
I feel myself getting dragged across the floor and I scream for them to stop. But now numerous guards are now holding me, clenching at my bones.
They carry me to a locked chamber and open in with a golden key. I scream more loudly than before but I get chucked into the room and they close the door leaving me in complete darkness.
Clovers POV
I gasp back into real life and look down at my hands. I feel them tingle showing me a sign that it's worked.
But what just happened? A vision? A dream? But there's not point dwelling on it, it's worked.
I look towards the window and push my hands down, beside me. I feel my body lift up into the air, floating above the ground.
Peering down to my feet, I smile, noticing how strong my powers are. But, I look back up to the window, frowning.
It still seems quite far so I push harder and find myself face to face with a stunning view. You can see the whole of the front garden with a forest surrounding it.
But I focus on my goal and see the handle. But my next task isn't to simple.
Steadily, I lift up one of my hands that was keeping me in the air and move it towards the window. For a moment I think it's all fine but, I was wrong.
My body falls sideways towards the sink, no longer being held up by my powers. I try and grab onto the ledge but I fail miserably, accidentally knocking over a perfume bottle.
Both me and the bottle fall to the ground, the perfume smashing into pieces. For a moment all I hear is silence, even from outside the door.
But then a sudden loud, high pitched scream fills my ears, coming from only one person, Tiffany. Finally my rescue team is here!
I hear the key go into the lock, turning. The door slams open, revealing Olive, Tiffany, Mia and Rebecca all standing at the entrance.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO!?" Tiffany screams at me and her eyes drift towards the broken glass beside me. Her whole entire face turns a shade of red and you could almost see the fumes coming off her.
"My Channel Perfume! You'll pay for this! Get out!" She shouts and I scramble to my feet. I walk out the door while she tries and gather up the shards of glass
The first thing I see is Dominic with ice going all the way up to his chest. Only part of him that's moving is his head and arms. I gasp, and run over to him
"Hey Clove. I now know my weakness." He smiles weakly using my nickname.
"He got frozen by Rebecca. Ice powers. I don't know how to get him out." Olive says behind me. I try and think of a way but get no solution.
"Get out of our dorm!" I hear a person shout. I turn around and Tiffany is pointing towards the door.
"But this is our dorm too." I argue
"I don't care."
"Let Dominic go! Then we'll leave." Tiffany sighs but shoots her hand towards Dominic and the ice un-freezes. He runs towards the door and waits.
"Thanks." I smile sweetly. They watch us leave the room, waiting for the door to close.
We enter the corridor and its full of people walking around. Some notice me, staring.
"Are you guys ok?" I shout over the noise of the people.
"Yes, we're fine. But are you?" Dominic asks. I pause for a moment.
"Uh yea," but then I remember something. I used my powers. "Dominic?"
"Yes?"
"What happened when I was younger and used my powers?" I ask.
"You'd have nightmares. You didn't use them, did you?" I look down at my feet. "Clover, we have to get you to mum."
Olive looks at us, confused. "Wait, what happens if she has nightmares?"
"I'll explain later. You can come too if you want. You might need to know what to do." I say quietly as Dominic guides us to our mums office through the crowds.
A few minutes later we arrive at the door. I nervously knock and a few seconds later, my mum appears with a book in her hand.
"Clover! Dominic! What are you doing here?" She says cheerfully welcoming us all in. Olive sits herself down at a chair and I stand beside her.
"Clover used her powers." Dominic shuffles and my mums face drops. She turns around to her cabinet and looks through things.
"I'm sorry." I whisper, looking down at my feet. "Do I have to have it?" My mum turns around with a needle in her hand.
"It will soften the impact of your dream. It's your choice but you've done it so many times, you should be used to it." She walks over to me and pulls up my sleeve, revealing my bare arm.
"Ok. I'll do it." I sigh and grab onto Dominic's hand beside me. He squeezes mine, reassuring me.
"Olive, you might want to look away." He says to her, but she's already got her hands over her face. I shut my eyes and wait for the needle to go in.
A sharp pain hits my arm and I bite my lip. I feel the liquid being injected into me. "All done." I hear my mum say and I open my eyes.
"So I'll still have nightmares, but they won't effect me in the morning?" I ask.
"No. If will still effect you but not as much." She says and lifts my hand to hold a cotton wool pad against where the needle was put in.
"I have a question. Why does Clover's powers give her nightmares?" Olive asks now removing her hands from her face.
"We don't know. We've tried figuring out but we've gotten nothing. Now, it's past bed time. Off to bed, all of you!" My mum guides us out the door. We say our good nights and head back to our dorms.
"Clover? What should I do after you've had a nightmare?" Olive asks quietly as we're about to approach our room.
"Just make sure I'm alright and try and feed me as much as you can. If you really don't know what to do, bring me to my mum." I say, opening the door.
The girls are already asleep in their beds. We tiptoe towards our bunk and get into them.
"Night Clover." Olive whispers.
"Night Olive." I turn myself over, preparing myself for the night ahead.
***********************************
Yay! Another really long chapter! 1900+ words! For me, I really just want to get the chapters done instead of just dragging it on through many chapters.
I'm hoping to be posting more during the summer holidays because I'll have more time! So ( if I stay on track ) you'll see me post at least once a week maybe even twice.
But I've been thinking, should I write two books at once? Because I have another book I really want to write but that would mean slow updates and a chance of never actually completing the book. What do you think?
Oh and one more thing. Could you guys possibly comment more? I would really love it if you did!
See ya soon! Charlotte xx
