The secret of the murderous chamber- 2

PRIAM'S POV:

I left the party while looking for her, I know what I am doing is not worth it anymore, the more I try, the more I will get hurt in the end. She doesn't have any feelings for me. She chose Dekker over me, but for some reason, I want to follow her, I want to see her again, hold her again. I want her to be mine. If even it not so, I want to make sure she is safe and I am doing that right now.

I heard someone calling my name from behind as I turned back and saw Brad was panting running towards me. He said-" Wait up for me"

I asked-" Brad? What are you doing here?"

He replied while catching his breath-" I think something is wrong."

I asked with a concerned voice-" what do you mean?"

He replied while keeping his one hand on my shoulder-" They are in danger"

I asked hurridly-" what? how? wait, what are you talking about?"

He replied-" Priam, did you notice, Dekker, Shawna, Junnie, and Lucifer left from the party?"

I said-" Yes, I saw, maybe they are going somewhere..."

Before I could finish my word he said-" No, No you don't understand. Past few days everything was messed up. But I noticed, Shawna and Junnie getting closer to each other. But something kept passing my mind, that why suddenly Dekker came here?."

I replied-" Isn't he here because the queen wants him to be here to protect Shawna? And..."

He cut off my word by saying-" My mother went to the Queen today morning for some work and she got to know, Dekker has asked himself to come here. At first, I let that go, but just before I was coming here, I heard Dekker discussing something in the back of our school garden with someone. I followed them and tried to listen to them, but the sound of the party was too loud. All I could hear was the man told Dekker-" The plan must carry on today".

My eyes widen as I was shocked to hear what Brad just said to me. What plan? what is going on? there were so many questions running on my head, but I was taken aback when brad continued-" So I thought to keep an eye on them, but as soon as the party started, I saw them leaving the party together and that felt a little weird to me. So I came out to find them and saw you."

That means, she is in danger!!!. She was wrong, she trusted the wrong person and perhaps fell in love with the wrong person. I know she would never believe me, but I have to try. No, I have to save her at any cost. I clenched my fist while thinking deep how to save her.

Not wasting any more time we rushed towards the hallway of our school finding them.

NORTH WING HALLWAY:

SHAWNA'S POV:

Dekker told me, Mr. Ben came here. I was shocked and scared at the same time. Not that I am scared of him hurting me, But I am scared what if he is a criminal in real and hurt others and my friends. What if grandma comes to know I have helped him to escape. Oh God!!! save me, please

We were running when I heard Junnie and Lucifer behind me. I turned back and was shocked to see them.

I quickly grabbed Junnie by her arms and pulled her to the corner and said-" Junnie what are you doing here? and what is he doing here? don't you know this is dangerous?"

She hold my hands in hers and replied-" I know, But I am scared to leave you alone Shawna, What if...?"

Lucifer spoke from our behind-" Shawna don't worry, if something is wrong I can help and I assure you, I would not tell anyone about anything"

I was about to reply to him but we heard someones scream from the Northeastern wings. It's the place, most probably nobody goes much, Students were not allowed there until they were under supervision. But I cannot think of this now. I think someone is in danger. we looked at each other.

Dekker said-" Princess, stay here"

I replied-" No way, It must be Mr. Ben..."

Lucifer gasped and replied-" You mean the one who run away from the prison? the one, whom queen and ghosts of gambler are searching for?"

I nodded as he asked-" Wait, what is he doing here? we need to call someone..." He turned back to call for help as I stopped him.

I said-" No,!! Lucifer, not now, and it might be too late, We have to go there ourselves to check what is wrong.". He looked at us as he nodded.

We all agreed and ran towards the way from where the scream came from. Searching in the dark corridors, we finally reached a wall. I looked down to find out something on the floor. I bend down to pick up that and found an earring. What is this doing here? and whose is this? Where is the owner of this earring? I started looking here and there to find if someone is here...

Junnie suddenly took the earring from my hand as she said-" It's Jennifer's !!!"

I asked in shock-" What? what's her earring doing here?"

Dekker said -" This must be it". He looked at a wall behind us as his hands were trailing around the wall as if he was finding something.

I confusedly asked him-" This must be what?"

He replied-" The secret passage"

Junnie asked-" What? what is that now?"

We waited for Dekker to answer us but instead, he took out something from his pocket and I gasped looking at it. I exclaimed in shock-" The stone!!!". I looked at him with a frown, waiting for him to explain.

He nodded as I asked again-" How did you get it? It was in my room"

He turned to us and replied in a very creepy way-" This is for the betterment"

He placed the stone in the wall and it curved back to the shape of the stone while the wall gulped down the stone within it giving us a passageway. The gate opened and it was dark inside. And when once again, we heard the scream. This time I recognized whose was it, It was Jennifer's Cresseda's and cassie's.!!!

Without wasting any time, I went inside to find them, Dekker followed me. Junnie called me from behind-" Wait, Shawna doesn't... Before she could complete her sentence she was pushed inside by Lucifer. She fell as Lucifer smirked before entering.

She fell as she hurt herself and she yelled a bit-" Lucifer!!! What are you doing?"

I looked back and came running towards her to help her, but before I could do so, Dekker holds my arms harshly and pulled me inside. Junnie tried to get up and help me, but Lucifer slapped her and hit her head making her unconscious on the floor.

I tried to scream but Dekker immediately pressed his hands on my mouth preventing me to do so. Tears started flowing from my eyes when finally I realized I did a mistake trusting him. I should have told everyone what happened maybe by then she wouldn't have been in danger. I looked at her unconscious figure as tears rolled out of my eyes.

I tried to shrug off his hands but his muscular hands gripped me tightly and I understood all was in vain I cannot win from him, He is stronger than me. He dragged me towards the darkness as I was trying to set free from his grip.

He pulled me inside towards the darkness, and finally, he threw me to the ground somewhere. Hitting my elbow I cried in pain pressing my lips. But suddenly I noticed a small light appeared in the room, but yet it was dark enough to see everything. I looked at my side finding Jennifer, Cresseda, and Cassie almost half-dead on the floor.

I tried to reach them when Lucifer pushed my head back holding by my hair. The pain was unbearable as I cried in pain-"Aahhhhh What are you doing?"

Dekker gave me a creepy smile and replied-" you will be enlightened by our master". Master? What is he talking about? What is going on? How will I save them out from here? I was cursing myself for being stupid!!!

And before his word ends I felt shivers when a cold breeze blew over from me out of nowhere. I heard a faint whisper and the voice was very familiar-" Princess, we met again!!!"

My eyes widened when I realized it was none other than the evil witch Lady Georgia. Wait, Dekker is her servent? Lucifer was in this too? Oh my god!!! this is a trap!!!. What have I done? I should have never believed him in the first place and told Grandma about that incident. What should I do now? how will I save myself and them from this? I have even not trusted my friends who helped me in everything, I have hurt him, the one who I value the most.

I was thinking all this when the shadow appeared again, with the same red eyes in front of me, and Dekker and Lucifer bowed down before her.

I asked while whimpering a little-" What do you want?"

She smiled sarcastically and replied-" You very well know what do I want Princess"

I replied with all my courage-" Let my friends go and I will give you the wand."

She hissed and crawled towards me as she replied-" Not so fast. I don't need to bargain today. You shall give me what is mine."

I said-" NO, Not until you leave them."

She grabbed me by my neck and choked me while my legs are departed from the ground. I was struggling when she was attacked by the spells. Her grip loosened and I fall back on the ground, coughing.

I turned back and saw, Priam and Brad raising their wand towards her. Junnie was there standing with Brad's support.

She hissed as she replied looking at them-" You think you can defeat me? You are just a bunch of stupid kids!!!".

The war of spells started when I crawled to Jennifer and her friends making sure they are alive. I turned back and saw she was stronger than them. I closed my eyes and command the golden wand to appear before me, opening my eyes, it was in front of me, shining.

I gripped it and attacked her, but she was clever to dodge the spells and attacks. She came towards me and choked me again, trying hard to take the wand from my hand. Tears started running down and I saw Dekker and Lucifer got Priam and Brad too. Was I defeated? Is this is the end? I closed my eyes in fear before whispering-" I love you".

Just when she was about to attack the final to kill me, a strong spell hit her from the back. I fell as looked at it that way with a panic face, and my eyes widened when I saw Mr. Ben Dunnie standing there with his wand ready at her.

She stood up again as he looked at him, She laughed and said-" Long time my dear. I have missed you"

He replied still holding his wand up he said-" Not anymore, you have manipulated me enough. not anymore. Now I know the truth. I shall seek revenge"

He cast-" Mortem"

The spell hit her, causing her to scream in pain. Dekker and Lucifer cried-" Master...". In front of our eyes, they disappeared in the thin air. Mr. Ben ran towards me helping me to sit down and asked-" Are you okay?" I nodded while holding my neck which was painful and had marked as she gripped it tight. He said-" Thank you, my dear"

I replied hugging him while sobbing in his arms-" Thank you, Uncle". I was relieved that my friends were safe... I never had thought we would go out from here today. But he saved us. He came back... Mom was right. I was happy.

He hugged me back and then Priam and Brad walked towards us with a confused look. I told them whats happened on that day and how I helped him to escape by having my mother's dream. How Dekker manipulated me to lie stating to save them.

Mr. Ben said-" I have seen Dekker on that very day when you helped me to escape and I knew something was wrong, I knew him but couldn't recognize so I followed you from time to time and when I heard today Brad explaining to Priam what he heard, made me make sure it's him." I said-" I did a mistake believing him. He manipulated me. I just wanted to know about the secrets of the golden wand"

He looked at me as he smiled a little and said-" Well... Just know that you are the heir of the most powerful weapon on earth and this WitchLand. It will always listen to you no matter what. But... you have to grow more to understand its full powers. So I suggest you focus on the learnings so you can master the wand someday. Now I have to leave, but I promise my little one, we shall meet again and that time we shall have a lot to talk"

Before I could say anything he disappeared into the thin air making me look blankly. Priam helped me to stand up and when professor Hyle came there along with a few others. I told them what happened apart from meeting Mr. Ben. They took Jennifer and her friends to the nurse When Brad carried Junnie towards the nurse.

Professor Hyle said-" I shall report this to headmaster and queen. Get rest till then"

I looked at Priam who was already looking at me. We had so many things to talk about but nobody could start. He Helped me to reach the nurse's office.
