Description

Lenola now laid face down on the floor, the adorable bright eyed girl normally brimming with love and infectious laughter now devoid of any kind of life bar the faintest glimmer of hope offered by the slow rise and fall of her chest. Every kind of emotion had faded away except overwhelming guilt and sorrow at what I had caused by taking my friend on such a dangerous adventure and that the monster had only attacked Lenola because I had begged Scorpio to let it live. The monster had vanished from sight and disappeared into the endless maze of corridors and doorways, but the truth was that I doubted that neither its cries nor its glowing red eyes would do anything to break my shame. I kept listening for danger, possibly even hoping to hear the monster come screeching towards me but my fears were all gone as the sole thing I now cared about was my fallen friend Lenola, I cried out for help as loudly as I could with my voice being disrupted by muffled cries as my heart broke at the sight of what fate had befallen my best friend, yet thankfully Fae answered my call. My entire body trembled as I waited for Fae to arrive, partly in fear of just how she might react to the sight of seeing Lenola in such a pitiful state but more so as I deeply feared that Lenola may never awaken after having been so very brave.

Deep inside I felt such incredible pride in her, she had willingly placed herself in the way of danger to protect me from the monster and its glowing eyes, yet as I felt the tremors of Fae’s approaching footsteps that pride was also matched by incredible sorrow. Fae came rushing in with Savena in tow, she gasped with the most awful look in her eyes as she caught sight of the stricken Lenola lying lifelessly on the hallway floor but in the calmest voice I had ever encountered she asked simply “Rowena, what has happened to her?” Her voice was so gentle and a vivid reminder of just how strong Fae truly was yet those purple eyes told a vastly different story of deep resounding concern that her soft tones masked so very well. I looked up and tried to find the words and compose myself but as my shame erupted from deep within I just blurted out “The monster came back!” and began to cry my heart out as I gazed upon Lenola, hoping and praying for some hint of light from her eyes. Fae remained ominously calm and cautiously lifted Lenola up while Savena moved to console me “Rowena, where is the monster now? Is it still around?” I looked to Fae as she lifted Lenola up and couldn’t withhold my tears as I wept and sobbed “Yes it’s still out there somewhere and it has cast Lenola into a deep nightmare!”

Fae took a moment to let the air settle and gently she took me into the palm of her hand and gently whispered “Come on Rowena” her soft voice was so soothing as she smiled gently “Lenola will be okay, this isn’t your fault!” Fae paused briefly as she shuffled me and Lenola around and she asked “This creature came from Evelyn’s phone?” I simply nodded in reply, Fae paused briefly and then turned to Savena asking “Can you go and get Evelyn for me?” Savena simply nodded as Fae sighed “If anyone knows how to sort this out it has to be her!” Savena headed away without hesitation while Fae carried me and Lenola through the hallways and into the lounge to await the arrival of Evelyn and Savena in hopes that we could bring Lenola back. While I watched Lenola’s hair buffeting as Fae took a step I could hear Fae gently humming a soft song to herself, it was oddly soothing and every few steps her eyes would glance my way, Fae was attempting to alleviate my shame yet the song was somehow familiar too? After a few steps Fae paused briefly and glanced down at Lenola “Rowena? If the monster has been chasing you, then why did it attack Lenola?” she let out a soft breath and smiled “There has to be more to this than meets the eye but Rowena, please don’t cry!” Fae’s tone was so understanding, warm and gentle and yet deep down I felt fully responsible for what had happened to Lenola.

I glanced at Lenola and then sobbed “I should have let her kill it!” whimpering to the still air as if I hoped it would make any difference at all but Fae glanced at me and shook her head gently “No Rowena, you couldn’t have known and above all else, you did what you believed was for the best!” Fae’s words were so kind as she soothed my sorrows away with looks and mere words “Lenola has been having a fantastic time with you, her newest friend, there can be no doubt Rowena that there are now dreams that you both share together” Although her words so considerate and her nature so incredibly kind it did little to take away from my mind that my best friend had fallen into an endless nightmare in order to protect me from a creature that I had brought into the house from the depths of Evelyn’s phone.
