The Life of Sophia Ysabel

  Monica remained silent and respectful for the rest of the school day. She hated every moment of it, but if it meant staying one step away from being a slave of Ms. Silver, then it was definitely worth it.  Later at night, Monica needed to form a plan to stop Ms. Silver from making children as her slaves. She shuddered at the thought of having to follow orders mindlessly, without any control. If she really didn't want to be a slave, then other kids probably don't want to either. She had to do something, and fast. In her desk, she typed in her laptop "demons with the ability to make people feel numb". Then a website popped up that said "Different Demons". She clicked it and it revealed a demon, mouth wide open, shouting a bloodcurdling chill. Shockingly, it had the same features as Ms. Silver that night when they stayed in at school. The title read "Lynges". She scrolled down to the description and this was what it read: ---------------------------...

Monica needed to think, and fast. What could she do when there was nothing to do to stop this sensation. But as if on cue, the numbness slipped away as Ms. Silver turned to scan the other direction. Monica sighed with relief and so did James. As Ms. Silver walked away, Monica looked left and right before she spoke to James. Then she turned to face James, who clearly seemed overwhelmed by this new discovery. "Did you see that? No, did you FEEL that? That numb feeling where you can't move?" Monica asked. "Yeah, I did. It felt... weird. How can she do that?" James said. "I don't know. I might do some research about demons and their abilities." Monica checked the time on her watch. "I think I have to go now. My parents might worry about me and call the police or something. See you tomorrow." The next day Monica thought of this school a bit differently. She asked her parents if she could move to a new school. But as she had expected, they'...

The next day, Monica had a plan hatched inside her brain. She was going to see what Ms. Silver looks like by sneaking out of class, and catching at least a glimpse of this demonic principal. As the first block of school had began, instead of going to the class, she went straight to Ms. Silver's office. She could still hear Ms. Stirling, her teacher marking the attendance of her students. "Monica?" The teacher said as she looked across the room for a raise of a hand in the air. "Must be absent. James?" She said as she went through the list. Monica looked back at Ms. Silver's office. She leaned her ear against the wooden door. Suddenly she could hear growling and snarling inside. Then she heard demonic laughter cackled across the room. Monica was frightened as her breathing went quicker . She was panicking. Suddenly, a teacher walking across the hall saw Monica crouched in the principal's office door and came up to her, looking furious. "What are you ...

Monica walked up to his house as the wind gushed harder and harder. She walked up to his door and paused. What if someone who answered the door wasn't James and that "someone" pulled Monica's shirt and dragged her away, grabbing her into pure black darkness...    Monica wasn't usually this of an over thinker but today she was quite like one. Not that ready, she nervously knocked three times on James' door. She heard thudding of footsteps and eventually the door creaked open to reveal James. Monica was never this glad to see him. She sighed with relief and said hi to him. He did the same. James ushered Monica in his house, and it was really kept neat and tidy. "I knew you were smart enough to crack my note." James said. Monica grinned. "I just knew it meant something." They both walked upstairs to his room. And James left his door ajar. "So... why is this school so weird?" Monica burst her curiosity out to James like a balloon popp...

It was a bright day at Erehmai Elementary School. Monica was just walking to her new elementary school as she heard cheerful laughter of children coming from the playground. But instead of seeing the usual playground kids playing an innocent game of Tag, what she saw next was on a whole new level of STRANGE. She gasped as she saw  a speaker producing this noise of children laughing. "Oh my gosh." She said to herself as she put her hand over her mouth. "A bit unusual, right?" a cheery voice called out to her. Monica flinched for a moment, but then saw a boy with dark brown hair glistening in the sunlight, clutching in his arms a book. "My name is James, what's yours?" He asked as he handed out his hand. Monica shook his hand. "I'm Monica. And why is a speaker outside making noises of kids laughing?" Monica firmly asked back. She was curious about this weird speaker, and mostly just concerned. "Of course, that thing ALWAYS freak people...

  The plan was that Ava calls the security guard and then she punches him to make him unconscious. Then she grabs the keys to open everyone's cells and BOOM! Freedom. So Ava called out to the guard and does the exact same thing that was written on the plan. She succeeds. The people on the opposite sides of her cell (including Brenda's and Will's) hung their jaws wide open as Ava punched the security guard. They never knew the strong capabilities of Ava, the 11-year-old. She opens Will and her cell and she attempts to unlock Brenda's cell, but only failing. "Wait what? What's happening?!" Ava sighed exasperated. "Another guard must have the keys to unlock everyone's cell." Brenda processed this new information. "You may need to see a guard who has a token key." Brenda logically answered. "Okay. I'll go search for the guard." Ava said her thoughts aloud. "Wait! I'll come with you." Will said. "Will, no...

  The HOH mercilessly grabbed them by the arms and took them to the familiar tunnel that they got the gretor from. "I'm so sorry." Ava said guiltily to Will. "This is all my fault." Ava said as she looked at Will with a pained expression. "It's not your fault. And at least you tried." Will said with a hopeful look on his face. The HOH took them to cells that reminded them of prison. It looked unfriendly and grim. The HOH opened the cells like they were escaped animals and pushed them in. Then they walked, footsteps thudding away. "I guess this is how our lives will be like." Will said with a devastated face. "No, of course we'll find a way out." Ava said and touched his hand. "It just seems so..." Will said and stared to the abyss. "Impossible to get out of here." He said as he looked down. He then glanced over to the other cells. They were filled with people. It looked so hopeless just looking at them. ...
