Where could Emilia possibly be? I needed to figure out who Emilia was taking on the trip. And where she lives. The chances of Emilia picking a boy for her companion is unthinkable. She usually sticks to the more superior gender. Now where could this person be? I decide to look at the resident files. Good thing that Amya gave me the full tour of the castle. Other wise, I would know where nothing was. I head towards the file room. A crunching noise interrupts the silence. Oh no, I look down at my feet and find a pencil. I have just stepped on a pencil. A guard turns toward the noise. I press my back against the cold stone wall. Please don't look over here, I think.
The guard goes in the other direction. Thank goodness. I begin to look through the residents. There are only a few files. The majority live at Elsa's Comfort Inn the remaining live in the Castle. I decide to go to Elsa's Inn. How'll I'll get there, I have no idea. I turn to leave and find a guard staring down at me. No, not a guard, Marvin.
"What are you doing here?" He asks.
"Trying to find Emilia. What about you?"
"Trying to stop you and if that fails then to come with you."
"You can't come."
"You can't stop me. Look Emilia is just like my little sister. And I want to find her just as much as you do."
"Fine, you can come. Do you know where Elsa's Comfort Inn is?"
"Vaguely, I think it's in that direction."
"Ok."
We follow Marvin's directions and find our selves at a small inn. The sound of a fire crackling, keeps the silence from taking over. Marvin opens the door. A short receptionist sits on top of a pile of books. Her hair is magenta and her eyes are a shade of beady brown. Her glasses are shoved up against her face and her nose appears tiny. Her age is on the older side, but not to old.
"May I help you?" She says.
"Yes, have you by any chance seen this girl?" I ask.
I pull out a small photograph of me and Emilia from last year. We are making crazy faces, but it's the only picture I have at the moment.
"Why yes indeed I have. She went with someone up to room 321."
"Can we have a name?" Marvin asks.
"Yes, yes. Know where is that darn book of rooms."
She diggs around until she has found a humongous book, filled with billions of pages. There are sections with the room number labeled on them. It's from recent to old. She finds the tab labeled 321 and flips through it. Finally, she comes to a stop.
"Yes, yes. The room is currently occupied by Kellie Valtillion."
She then closes the massive book and sets it in its correct spot.
"Is that all the information you needed?"
I nod. And we head towards the stairs. There are millions if rails of stairs. We follow the rail which reads 300-324. We'll find Emilia soon enough. When we reach room 321, I pause. Here goes nothing. I knock sharply on the door hoping it will get someone's attention. A boy with chestnut brown hair answers. Definitely not Kellie Valtillion.
"Can I help you?" He says.
"Yea. I demand you give me back my sister this instant!"
"And who might your sister be?"
"Sonya?" Emilia says as she comes toward the door.
Quotes
You seek my redemption, a fool's errand.
Then I must be the most foolish of them all because I won't stop looking, not now, not ever.
I reach because I know with effort it can be reached, that even the tallest trees must come to an end. To accept life as it is, that is simply ridiculous, because you know it can and will be more if you nuture it. That is what your redemption is, a tiny seed in need of nourishment. I will provide it, even if it kills me, you will not stop me, nothing will.

Emilia...
Sonya's POV
I sit staring at the clock. I'm worried about Emilia, she hasn't come back and it has been 3 hours. It isn't like her. Something must have gone wrong with the meeting. I'd never met Bubbles before, maybe he took longer than she'd expected. I was tempted to go to Aria or Amya, they could help. But, Emilia probably told them not to go after her. Emilia and her stupid clever planning. I can't take it any more, I have to go after her. I hear a soft knock on the door.
"Sonya?" Aria says.
"What?"
"Just checking in on you. You should sleep."
"Yea. Sure."
"Don't worry about Emilia. She strong, and she can definitely handle herself. She'll be back before you know it."
"I know."
I climb into the bed. Aria pulls the covers up over me. I nestle my head into my pillow and shut my eyes. I pretend to sleep.
"Good night, Sonya."
She leaves the room.
I get out of the bed and rush to get my back pack. There are only so many places she could be and I'm going to find her.

Bubbles...
"What do you need my help with?"Keltin asked.
I told him about my dream. His face got paler and paler as I continued with my story.
"And you want me to help you? I just met you."
"I know this is a little sudden, but I couldn't think of anyone else to go with me."
This conversation is getting awkwarder as we continue to talk.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But how are we supposed to contact this Bubbles guy?"
"I'll summon him when we are in a safe place."
Keltin nodded. He grabs his jacket.
"Let's go meet Bubbles." He says.
We leave and head of into the woods. We hear the steady trickle of a nearby stream. I stop.
"We'll do it here."
I take out a knife and some herbs and a small pot.
I place the herbs in the pot, and set it on fire with my hand.
I took the knife and cut my hand, and muttered a spell.
"Powers of the seers that rise
Their course unseen across our skies,
Come to us who call you near, come to us and settle here.
The blood of a royal to the eternal bond of a servant, I summon thee.
Master to servant, I ask thee to return to me."
My blood dripped into the pot. There was big splash and a puff of mist.
"Guess they don't call you guys witches for no reason." Keltin said.
"I could still curse you either way," I said laughing.
"Remind me never to get on your bad side," he hands me a rag to clean my hand with.
I nod. Suddenly, a luminescent light appeared. A small ball the color of a blueberry was there.
"Your looking for help from a ball?"
"Why does every one always think I'm a ball?" said a small squeaky voice.
"Maybe because you look like a ball." Keltin said.
"Humph. I am a buzzu. The faithful servant of the Malvanian Royal family."
When Bubbles saw me he bowed.
"My lady."
"Hello Bubbles it has been a long time."
"Why have you called upon me? My Lady."
"Bubbles I have talked to Azarius. I want to know what he meant when he said I was under his control."
"Your mother told me this day would come."
"Are you going to tell us or not?" Keltin said.
"Yes of course. When your mother was pregnant with you. There were complications. You were having medical problems. You were going to die. So, to save you, they went to all magical and non magical creatures and asked them to give up some of their powers and blood to help you. They agreed."
"Why would they do that?" I asked.
"Well, the same thing had happened before with your grandmother, Clarissa so they thought it would help you like it did to her."
"But why?"
"It was the only way. So, naturally you already have lots of powers even more than your grandmother. Because unlike Clarissa's potion, yours had Azarius's blood in it. So, he can control you."
"Did my parents know that his blood was in my potion?"
"No, no one knew until it was to late. They thought they would raise you to follow the right, so he couldn't get to you. But you know that they died before they could."
"Thank you for telling me Bubbles. You may go now."
He nods. And dissapears into a silvery blue light. The information is overwhelming. I feel like I'm going to faint. Keltin catches me as I fall to the ground. He supports me as we walk back to the inn. Now I know Azarius is going to use me to get to everyone else. I can't be trusted. I can't go back to Sonya, I'm a danger to the world.
