Original Coffee Shop discussion

Alex raised her wand. "I can help if you get to tired." She whispered "Lumos" and her wand lit brightly at the tip. She started to walk forward, glancing around at all the walls.

Alex raised her stick. "I can help if you get too tired."
She whispered something and the stick lit up brightly at the tip.
Taliya grinned and lowered her hand. "In that case, I'll hold mine in front and you hold yours up there, and we'll have plenty of light!"
Joven cleared his throat from behind Taliya.
She turned.
He held up a stick of wood that he must have grown when she wasn't looking. "Maybe you just make a torch?"
Taliya grinned. "Thanks, Joven."
She took the stick and transferred the fire to it. That helped. She didn't have to concentrate nearly as much now.

The walls were covered in fancy tapestries that depicted unicorns, dragons, and knights in armor.

Asher looked at the knights, very intrigued. “Woah, this is so cool.” He touched the sword and smiled.

"Look at all the mythical creatures they embroidered. It always makes me wonder if they used to be real."

Asher nodded, “It does.”

Alex walked forward a little more and suddenly disappeared from sight. THUD! She had fallen in a hole in the floor.

She yelped in pain. "I'm alright! Mostly!" She called up.

Taliya glanced at the tapestries. They depicted horned horses and knights in armor, and creatures that looked similar to Kathreya's dragon.
Asher touched a sword hanging from a suit of armor, grinning. “Woah, this is so cool," he whispered.
"Look at all the mythical creatures they embroidered. It always makes me wonder if they used to be real," Alex said.
“It does," Asher agreed.
Used to be?
Taliya and Joven exchanged glances, but with all the other weird things happening, she wasn't all that surprised that they'd never seen a dragon.
Suddenly, Alex dropped through the floor and landed on the ground with a thud and a yelp.
Taliya gasped and ran to the edge of the hole that had randomly appeared out of nowhere.
"I'm alright! Mostly!" Alex called.
Taliya grinned painfully. "Mostly? Is there some way I can help?"

"Nope, I've got this. Lumos Maximas!" A bright light filled the hole Alex was standing in. She looked around curious to see what she had fallen into. Then she saw the first skeleton. She shrieked in horror.

"Nope, I've got this." Alex replied. "Lumos Maximas!"
A brilliant light illuminated the hole, and Taliya craned her neck to see into the murky depths.
Then Alex shrieked.
"What is it?" Taliya cried.

"There are skeletons down here! This must be a trap and no one ever escaped from it!" She fearfully looked around for a way to get out. She sighed. Why did she always use magic to fix her problems? "Wingardium Leviosa!" She floated out of the pit and back onto solid ground. "I hope there aren't more of these traps."

Asher rushed over to Alex, “Are you alright?”

"I'm fine now, but that was creepy." She tucked her wand away.

((where did the knight come from?))

((ohhhh hhahahahaha i read the thing totally wrong. I thought there were statues of knights in armor 😂😂😂))

((There should be though!))

((LOL!!!!))

((ok well then let me redo that lol))

Asher looked in the hole and shivered. He didn’t like where this is going. “Maybe we should explore some. But carefully.” He glanced back at Alex.

"Really really carefully." Alex slipped around the hole and made it safely to the other side. "Luminous Maximous!" The whole hallway lit up. At the very end of the hall stood something tall and silent. "Wh-whats that?"

Alex shrieked as it started to stumble forward, arms outstretched like a zombies.

Taliya waited as Alex and Ashton started down the hallway.
Alex reached the end and held up her stick, which she commanded to brighten.
Something stood at the end of the hallway. It was tall. It was very, very evil.
Taliya choked and yanked an arrow out of her quiver, nocking it as quickly as she could.
Joven's sword was already drawn, held in a steady hand. His brown eyes scanned back and forth.
Joven was scary when he was concentrated.
Alex shrieked and stumbled forward. Her arms were outstretched. She almost looked braindead.
Taliya yelped, transferred her bow to one hand, and ran, catching up to Alex from behind.
She managed to grab her shoulders and pull her to standing.
"Are you okay?" she whispered, her hand ready to draw the bow.
That thing was still there, though she couldn't tell what it was.

((oops, I meant the monster put out its arms and started drinking like a zombie))

*acting

((LOL THAT'S SO MUCH CREEPIER I LOVE IT))

Okay lemme rewrite that... gimme a sec....

Taliya waited as Alex and Ashton started down the hallway.
Alex reached the end and held up her stick, which she commanded to brighten.
Something stood at the end of the hallway. It was tall. It was very, very evil.
Taliya choked and yanked an arrow out of her quiver, nocking it as quickly as she could.
Joven's sword was already drawn, held in a steady hand. His brown eyes scanned back and forth.
Joven was scary when he was concentrated.
The thing stumbled forward, arms outstretched.
Alex shrieked.
Taliya released an arrow, and she knew she hit her mark perfectly.
The monster didn't stop.
"Alex! Run to us!" she screamed. The monster wasn't stopping.

Alex was petrified. She had once jumped into a zombie book and it had been a horrible experience. It stumbled closer moaning. She jumped back, turned, and ran back down the hall. "Thank goodness zombies are notoriously slow" she muttered.

((oh I just had an awesome idea, but please tell me if its actually not awesome. What if the castle is enchanted and it can manifest their deepest and not so deep fears, depending on how deep they explore the castle? Maybe this will lead to defeating their living nightmares and finding something hidden at the castles core. I don't know. What do you think?))

((YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is a terrible plan because I just read Divergent lol... LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!))

((alright!!!))

((YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!))

Alex made it back to the other end of the hall and turned to stand with Taliya and Joven. She raised her wand.

((Y’ALL HAVE THE BEST IDEASS))

((Thank you, I try))

Asher followed the other 3. “This place is so weird.”

"Especially since there is a zombie making its way toward us." Alex cast a "Diffindo!" and a large cut appeared across the zombie. It did not stop.

Taliya watched as Alex wielded her stick. It chopped a cut into the approaching monster but did nothing to stop it.
Taliya stared in horror.
This was not good. Fear attempted to root in her chest, but she shook it away, looking around.
She saw the gaping hole in the ground.
"In the hole. Now," she said.

Alex didn't like this idea so much. The hole? Really? She sucked down her fear and jumped in.

Asher didn’t like that idea much, “Are you sure?” but it was too late. Alex had already jumped in. He kneeled down and looked into the hole, “I don’t like this.”

"Neither do I, but its better than having your brains eaten by a zombie."

Alex hated it in the hole. It was dark and she hated the dark. "Come on! Do you wanna die by zombie attack?"

Alex had been minding her own business in the stupid hole when something fell on her. "OUCH! What the?" She shoved the thing off her. "Who are you?" She pulled out her wand.

"No, I jumped down here on purpose." Alex whispered "Lumos" and her wand lighted, showing the face of a scared boy.

Alex looked at the boy, Colin. "I jumped down here to escape from the zombie. And a zombie is a reanimated corpse. You know, a dead body that's been brought back to life and wants to eat human brains."

Alex had to think about that for a minute. "I don't know, a low iron deficiency maybe? Anyway..." She raised her wand. "Asher you coming?"

Asher jumped down and stood up, “Of course. I would be bored out of my mind with that zombie.”

Alex laughed. "This is Colin." She pointed to the new boy.

Asher put out his hand, “I’m Asher. Pleased to meet you.”

Red turned to Big Wolf.
“You think you could help me get it?” Big Wolf grinned, showing off white sharp fangs.
“Of course…But I can’t go in with you.” She nodded.
“Just take care of the guards, and I’ll be able to get inside.” The wolf ran off. A few minutes later Red heard the yells of guards and then silence. She reached the gate, and took one of the swords lying on the ground. The gate was open, so she walked inside. Hearing voices she followed them until she saw a group of people.
“Hey. Who are you?” She held the sword in front of her. Red had no idea how to wield it, she was more a dagger person, but they didn’t know that.
