Chapter 5






I turn back looking at Tim with an expression of confusion . Tim peeped passed me to look at Caroline and responds with a frown on his face .

"Caroline what wrong?" I asked completely worried for her .

"I was chosen to go to the Fighting Pits . " She sobbed .

"This can't be right this is totally wrong, can't we talk to someone to change or something?" I said looking at Tim .

"Sadly, once chosen, that is the institute you will be going to" Tim quietly answered .

"Please can you talk to someone? Maybe your headmaster or maybe Scarlet?" I frantically questioned .





"I can try but I can't promise anything I don't really hold any position in Atlantis . " Tim hesitantly agreed, as he stood up and started jogging through the crowd .

I didn't know what to do or even how to start comforting Caroline . So I decided just to hug her as she cried . Several minutes passed as Caroline slowly called down, "stay here I'll try looking for someone . " Caroline nodded in understanding, I immediately stood up rushing in the direction Tim headed, and I desperately searched for him among the crowds . He was nowhere to be seen, I began looking for someone without marking on their hands . Everyone in the hall seems to have markings . . I searched for several minutes unable to find anyone without markings, defeated I made my way back to where Caroline was, making my way back through the crowd I felt a hand grasp my wrists hard enough to force me to turn around .

"Hey guys look it's a Class F Sorceress must be one of the weakest this year!" A female voice shouted laughing with her group of friends .

I turned to her full of rage, my anger now boiling up inside me, "Bitch I don't have time to deal with this . " as I used my other hand and ripped her thumb from my wrist, feeling the bone in her thumb crack in the process, she let out a small scream of pain and instantaneously releasing her grasp, I turned and carried on returning to Caroline .

"Bitch you broke my thumb, do you even know who I am?" I heard her shout .

I see in my peripheral vision a shadow behind me getting larger and larger, I defensively turn around to see what's approaching me, I was petrified as one of her male friends is extremely close to me with his sword held high ready to cut me . The world slowed as I began regretting how I dealt with the situation, is this really going to be the end of me? I closed my eyes ready for my inevitable death . For the first time in my life I was face to face with death, it was terrifying I wasn't ready, I'm still young I have so many years left to live .

"Is there a problem here?" I heard a familiar voice speak out in an angry tone .




I slowly peaked, opening one eye to see a crowd has gathered to witness commotion . Scarlet's very distinctive red hair was in between us was holding the sword by the blade . The young man fell to his knees trembling, "I'm sorry Scarlet" in an almost inaudible quivering voice the young man begged .


"Did you know the number one rule in Atlantis stats I am permitted to use lethal forces if anyone threatens the life of a student of Atlantis?!" She shouted as she effortlessly crushed the blade with her bare hand sundering the sword into two pieces . The young man now trembling uncontrollably and crying into the ground begging to be spared . "And you Princess of Arcadia! If you think your royal blood makes you exempt from our rules you are horribly mistaken! Now get the F out of my sight RIGHT NOW!" she ordered . The young man quickly scurried away on his knees into the crowd, but the princess was unfazed by Scarlet's threat and just shot a glare at me and casually turned and walked away . "And everyone else get to your assembly rooms now!" she ordered the crowd . The crowd took a steps back in fear, I staggered back falling on my bum as my legs gave out trembling uncontrollably, her anger strangely emitted and extremely scorching heat, it felt different this time her presence was overwhelming I felt like was a small mouse in a sea of flames .

As the crowd dissipated so did the heat and fear, Scarlet turned around smiling at me as always, "I came here as quickly as I could, some student called Tim said you was in need of help, but I didn't expect you needed this sort of help" Scarlet beamed, it felt extremely uncomfortable as she was still a complete stranger to me with the most terrifying aura I've ever felt . She held out her hand to me to help me up, her hand was completely unscathed from catching and crushing the blade . I gestured to her that I'm okay as I slowly got up on my own while my body slowly recovered .

"You really ought to be careful Emilia we won't always be around when you're in trouble" she beamed .

"Um next time I'll try not to cause a commotion . " I replied .

"Great so what is it that you needed help with?" She asked .





"Um scarlet maybe you could help a friend of mine . " I hesitantly questioned, her smile dulled as if she knew what I was going to ask her, she began looking at the floor avoiding my eye contact . "Well, my friend got chosen by fighting pits of something . " I hesitantly explained, her smile turned to a frown .

"I'm so sorry but once the selection process is done, it's final . Even I can't change or interrupt the process, I am so sorry!" She quietly replied

Wow the way Caroline spoke about her I thought she would have at least be able to do something . "Are you sure? There is absolutely nothing you can do?" I questioned .

"I'm so sorry, I really wish I could help" She quietly answered .

"Well… . Is there any chance you can go see her? She was absolutely excited when I told her that I met you earlier today . " I requested .

"I'm so sorry but all Eshia students have already left . " She replied

Hopelessness washed over me, my arms went limp . The only person I made a connection with is now gone, and there was nothing I could do to help her . A tear started to roll down my cheek . Scarlet immediately approached me to wipe away the tear and hugged me . Her attempts at comforting me kinda helped me forget about Caroline, as my body now reacting violently to her being in contact with me, all I wanted to do was to break away from her and run . She lifted my head to meet hers, "I can't promise that we can do anything but Paul and I will try everything in our power to help her"

"Thank you" I quietly whimpered .

"Let's get going we are running late . " Politely requested . As she turned and started walking in the direction the crowd did .

Maintaining a small distance we quickly walked to the closest door, entering into a smaller room filled with many students each with letters ranging from A-C on their left hand and on the other hand a symbol identical to the one on mine .

Scarlet turned around, "Stay here and just follow the headmaster instructions . " Scarlet instructed smiling .

"Okay, sure . " I hesitantly agreed

"Stay safe and don't get into too much trouble!" Scarlet joked . As she made her way to the front of the room, the crowd parted for her as if they also felt the fear that I do . Looking towards the headmaster I froze in absolute shock and confusion as she went and stood next to someone that looks identical to my Ex-boyfriend Paul .
