Chapter 7

Darknesse laughed and ran from the room. Once he was gone, Kyla slowly walked over to Kira. She was in a daze because she couldn’t figure out how Darknesse knew they were coming.
“Kira!” She whispers softly.
Kira didn’t move. In fact, Kyla wasn’t sure if she was even breathing!
“Kira! Wake up!”
Kyla didn’t know what to do. There was nothing she could do to save Kira. Then she remembered the potion. She rummaged around in her backpack. Finally she found the little glass vial. The purple liquid was bubbling inside. She uncorked it and poured it into Kira’s mouth.
Their mom warned them that it takes a while before the potion actually starts to work.
Kyla got up and started pacing the room. How would she get the key? She finally decided that she would use her sword to knock the key off. Then she decided that it wasn’t the best idea. What if her sword got stuck? What if she missed?
She grabbed Kira’s bow and picked up an arrow. She wasn’t very good, but aimed and fired. The arrow clinked against the key and made it swing. One more arrow set it swinging right off the hook. She held out her hand but, it landed right next to in with a clang on the floor.
Kyla raced over to the trap door and inserted the key into the lock. The lock clicked open as she twisted it. Then she slowly lifted the wooden flap on the ground. She peered into the gaping hole. She couldn’t see the bottom.
It’s probably not that far down. She thought. Then she jumped into the hole.
Kyla kept falling. The hole was way longer than she expected. A dark thought crosses her mind. What if it is just a hole? What it doesn’t go anywhere?
Finally Kyla falls on a bed. I wonder who sleeps here. She thought.
She wanders around the cave for a while until she finds a light switch. A bright glow fills the cave. Kyla looks up and sees the dark hole in which she fell into. She couldn’t see any light from the top.
“What are you doing here?” a voice whispers behind her.
Kyla spins around and sees a young woman with black hair.
“Annabell?” Kyla hear a curious voice from behind her. She spins around, again, and sees Kira hanging from the rope, just above the bed.
“YOU’RE OK!” Kyla shouts.
“Of course I am!” Kira says.
“Yeah, but, don’t you remember what happened?”
“You used the potion on me and now I’m better!” Kira finishes, dropping down from the rope, “Annabell, don’t leave!”
“You are the-the-” The young woman stammers.
“The what?” Kira says softly.
“The ones Darknesse warned me about before you killed him!”
“What? You think, Oh No!” Kyla murmurs.
“What?” Annabell asks.
“Annabell, We didn’t kill Darknesse… we killed Rolan. Darknesse switched bodies with him. I’m so sorry!” Kira tells her.
“No, not Rolan!” Annabell shrieks and fell onto the bed, weeping.
“Annabell, will you help us? We need to kill Darknesse. I bet you know where everything is down here!” Kyla says.
“Sure.” Annabell stood up and started walking down the hall.
