瑪拉選擇

 

姐妹屏住了呼吸。瑪麗開門。起初裡面一片漆黑但摩根召的光照亮了黑暗的過道里那陳舊昏暗的磚牆

最好以防萬一」,瑪麗語道把鑰匙放進口袋。 「小聲點

摩根搓了搓的手光變得更亮,照亮了整個走廊。她們發現自己站在走廊的中位置向左右兩端看,可以看到磚牆向兩邊延伸,然後變成了鐵欄桿邊的那個摩根給瑪麗邊這個她開始向右走。瑪麗牽了米娜的手帶著向走廊深處走去。等一等,她突然停下,貼著米娜的耳低聲想先查一下知道是其他什麼人關在裡面。幸的是有摩根的光瑪麗所只有拉和她們自己能看得到這光。

瑪麗在牢房的一側透過欄桿往裡瞧的心砰砰作。裡面是空的。她放心地吸了一口氣,拉著米娜的手走向一端摩根已那邊示意她們過去。

知道另一個牢房是空的瑪麗用正常的聲音喊道拉倒在牢房的一個角落摩根已在其上方點燃了一個溫暖的火球。仍然穿著那顯的襤褸的婚禮服。婚紗長長的下擺沾滿了灰色垢,鋪在的腳上像是一架手的衣袖已從的肩膀脫落。那斑斑血跡,曾經是那樣鮮紅閃亮,已褪色為死沉的褐色。頭軟綿綿地靠在角落裡。

拉弱弱地抬起看著的姐妹由於光線突然亮起,她擦擦的眼睛。

你們兒干什

米娜抓著欄桿,伸進她的來救知道是無辜的

瑪麗檢查了一下在鑰匙串上找合適的匙。

拉站起來慢慢走向欄桿。來到的姐妹們跟前,用手輕輕地撫摸著米娜的。在近距可以看到的眼睛紅,淚跡在她臉上畫出條條花

你們進來的

說來話長摩根們在回家后將有充裕的時間

瑪麗試著把一個匙插進鎖孔里搖動著但是需要你幫助我離開有一名警在外面某個地方即使他現在應該在忙著干他的事們也需要你幫抹去我的腳印不留下任何事情生的痕迹。

鑰匙被卡住了。瑪麗把它拉出來嘗試一個。

你們應該來的太危了。

「現在不是為我們擔心的時候摩根得不耐地看著瑪麗她正在嘗試一個鑰匙

拉轉向瑪麗,的手通欄桿握住的手。在那裡找不到鑰匙的我聽他們講過。只有一個鑰匙在警長那裡她坐倒在地上背靠在上。

摩根看著瑪麗的批准。沒有其他選擇。我只好把它融化。

瑪麗看著瑪拉坐在地上嬌小的身軀定地點了點干吧。

沒等摩根可以動身拉已搖了搖頭的胸部也跟著晃動清澈的淚水湧出的眼睛。太感你們知道我有多你們,多麼想你們。但我不能走。我......「的衣服擦乾我不能。

摩根瑪麗和米娜聚集在的身坐在地板上。

必須走瑪麗說我知道在非常悲不能正常思考,但在這一件事上要相信我。你現在非常危險,我不知道是什么東西在作祟,它有什想要幹什麼。

拉又搖頭掩面抽泣。我很抱歉我真不希望​​著生命危險來救我。但我不會離開

摩根的臉皺成一瑪麗可以看到盡一切努力控制著不爆發出哭聲。她的嘴一開拉著拉的衣服。

突然她們腳下的地在輕輕顫動。瑪麗馬上轉頭看向口。但是那兒連人影也有一個。

擔心是我。這樣的情況已經持續了一整夜。我無法控制它們。」瑪麗轉身拉住拉的手。從來沒有見過的大姐姐這樣。一直敬仰她的自我控制尤其是她揮灑自如地行使的法力並只在絕對必要時才使用。她從來沒有看到拉無法完全掌控它

知道沒有人在瑪麗說

閉上的眼睛。 「不是這麼回事,人們怎樣看待對我無關緊要。問題是,我不應該讓他處在這樣險的境地。我應該,在我想嫁他的那一刻應該他 ,我......我是。喘了一下氣,又大聲哭泣出來。我是什地面又震動起來

摩根看著的姐姐淚珠冒出的眼睛。真的非常不是嗎

咽了一口氣,點了點深深地吸了一口氣對著的姐妹,用眼睛直接看著她的眼睛。

實說在我對生在我身上的事一點也不心。我所知道的是我不想任何人受到害。事情越簡單煩就會越少。即使他們說我有罪......如果我悄悄地去會不來打擾

靜靜地坐著。瑪麗在她腦海里搜尋著任何能拉的辦法,她搖搖頭抓緊姐姐的手。

然後仿佛一隻無形的手封閉了空氣摩根的火焰突然熄牢房陷入了黑暗。什麼。。沒等摩根多想了。在空蕩的門框里姐妹可以看到窗外閃爍著一個橙色火球。摩根和瑪麗馬上站起來把米娜和拉隱蔽在她身後。 一道的灰光從外屋照進走廊

一個高高的慢而沉入門框。

 

Chapter 9: Mara』s Choice

 

The sisters held their breaths. Marie pushed on the door and it swung open. At first, the inside was dark, but Morgan summoned her light and it illuminated the dingy brick wall of a dark hallway.

「Better close the door, just in case,」 Marie said in a whisper. She pocketed the keys. 「Keep your voices down.」

Morgan rubbed her hands, and the light expanded to show the entire hallway. They were standing in the middle, and at either end they could see the brick give way to steel bars. You check the one on the left, Morgan communicated to Marie. I』ll check this one, and she started to walk toward the right. Marie took Mina』s hand and led her down the hall. 「Stay back,」 she whispered in Mina』s ear. She wanted to check first: who knew what other person they could be holding in the cell. Luckily, they had the cover of Morgan』s light, which, as far as Marie knew, only Mara and themselves would be able to see.

Marie peeked into the cell at the end, her heart racing. It was empty. She sighed a breath of relief and took Mina』s hand toward the other end, where Morgan was already motioning for them to come over.

「Mara!」 Now that they knew the other cell was empty, Marie spoke in a normal voice. Mara was slumped in the corner of the cell, inside which Morgan had already lit up a warm floating ball of flame. She was still in her tattered wedding dress. The train–now smudged gray with dirt–splayed out at her feet like an accordion, and her sleeve was falling off her shoulder. The blood stains, which earlier had gleamed bright red, had faded to a dull brown. Her head leaned limply against the corner.

Mara lifted her head weakly and looked at her sisters, rubbing her eyes against the sudden light.

「What are you doing here?」

Mina grabbed onto the bars and stuck her head between them. 「We came to save you! We know you』re innocent!」

Marie was already inspecting the lock, searching through the key ring for one that would fit.

Mara stood and walked slowly toward the bars. She reached her sisters, and took Mina』s face gently in her hands. Up close, they could see that her eyes were swollen red, and tear streaks lined her face.

「How did you get in? Why–」

「It』s a long story,」 Morgan said. 「But we』ll have plenty of time to explain when we』re all safe at home.」

「She』s right,」 Marie chimed in. She was jiggling with a key in the lock. 「But we are going to need you to help us leave. There』s a guard somewhere outside, and even though he should be distracted we』ll need you help us erase our footprints so there』s no trace of anything happening.」

The key jammed. Marie pulled it out and tried another one.

「You shouldn』t have come,」 Mara said. 「It』s far too dangerous.」

「Don』t worry about us right now!」 Morgan looked impatiently at Marie, who was trying another key.

Mara pulled herself to Marie, reached her hands through the bars, and held her hands. 「You』re not going to find the key there,」 she said. 「I heard them talking earlier. There』s only one copy, and the sheriff has it.」 She sank to the ground and sat with her back against the wall.

「Okay,」 Morgan looked at Marie, seeking her approval. 「There』s no choice then. I』ll just have to melt it.」

Marie looked firmly at Mara』s slight figure on the ground and nodded. 「Go for it.」

Before Morgan could even take a step, Mara shook her head. Her chest shook with it, and a fresh stream of tears surged into her eyes. 「Thank you so much,」 she said. 「You know how much I love you and care about you so much. But I can』t go. I…」 She wiped her face with cloth from her dress. 「I won』t.」

Morgan, Marie, and Mina gathered around her, sitting on the floor.

「You have to,」 Marie said. 「I know you』re grieving right now and can』t really think straight, but you have to trust us on this one. We don』t know what is out there, what kind of powers it has, or what it wants.」

Mara shook her head again, sobbing into her arms. 「I』m so sorry,」 she said. 「I hate that you guys risked all this to get to me. But I』m not leaving.」

Morgan』s face crumpled into a tight ball, and Marie could see she was doing all she could to keep from bursting out. She opened and closed her mouth. 「But why?」 she finally asked, tugging on Mara』s dress.

Underneath their feet, the ground trembled lightly. Marie turned around in an instant, looking toward the door. But there was no one there.

「Don』t worry,」 Mara said. 「It』s just me. It』s been happening all night. I can』t help it.」 Marie turned around and took Mara』s hand. She had never seen her big sister like this. She had always looked up to her self-control, especially her ability to command her powers and use them only when absolutely necessary. Never in her life had she seen Mara completely unable to hold them in.

「You know no one is blaming you, right?」 Marie said.

Mara closed her eyes. 「It doesn』t matter what people think now. It』s not about that. I never should have put him in danger like that. I should have told him, the minute I even thought of marrying him what I….what I was.」 She gasped for air and sobbed out. 「What I am.」 The ground jolted.

Morgan looked at her sister, and tears spotted her eyes. 「You really loved him, didn』t you?」

Mara swallowed and nodded. She breathed deeply and turned towards her sisters. She looked them straight in the eyes.

「Honestly, I don』t care what happens to me now. All I know is I don』t want to get anyone else hurt. And the more straightforward everything is, the less trouble there will be. Even if they say I』m guilty…If I go quietly, maybe they』ll leave you guys alone.」

They sat in silence. Marie scanned her thoughts for any ideas to persuade Mara, shaking her head and squeezing her sister』s hand.

Then, as if an invisible hand had closed in the air, Morgan』s flame was suddenly extinguished. The cell plunged into darkness. What the–but before Morgan could finish her thought, the door swung open. In the empty frame, the sisters could see the orange glow of fire flickering outside the windows. Morgan and Marie got to their feet, shielding Mina and Mara behind them. Dull gray light issued into the hallway from the outer room.

Slowly but steadily, a tall, dark shadow stepped into the frame.
