Chapter 4- Albina, The Child of Brimstone

(Friday Morning)

Albina walked out of the arena and decided to head to a friend's place to chill for a while and gather her thoughts. She watched as the hallways morphed and contorted to get her to her destination but suddenly it formed a dead end. The halls never do or have ever done this before, she heard a familiar voice and felt a sharp pain in her stomach as she looked at the source of the voice. Ardelle stood their grinning from ear to ear.

"Hi there, need some assistance" he smirked and looked around "these halls can be tricky to navigate you know"

Albina flipped him off as her stomach pain faded and the dead end opened up and showed her the innumerable collection of doors and the one she had been searching for was painted red and seemed to have a dull rust around the edges. Albina ignored Ardelle and headed towards the door then she heard his voice again kinda like a whisper in her ear and it said "come". Her body defied her every impulse to run to the door. Albina had felt this kind of force before it was a 'Manifestation'.

"That's quite a strong voice you got there but unfortunately my Manifestation is the body" Albina grinned as she summoned the strength necessary to defy his voice.

"I wouldn't if I was you" Ardelle gave a warning as he grinned with pleasure. Albina knew most students enjoyed torturing others but he seemed to enjoy it more than most. She sometimes even thought more than the head mistress.

Albina forced herself up and whatever force his manifestation carried seemed to vanish as she stood steadily on both feet and charged him with her right arm cocked back. Ardelle dodged her punch but he hadn't expected her left fist to collide with his stomach.

"Tricky lil bitch...you haven't lost your fight" he said as he spun on his right heel and pushed out his right elbow. The force from his spinning transferred into his elbow as it hit Albina into the back of her head.

Albina grunted as she was hit and collapsed onto all fours "I like you in that position" Ardelle smirked and went to kick the already defeated Albina only to be hit with fire hot enough to melt steel.

"Then I hope you like that" Albina rose from the ground ablaze. Her normally porcelain skin was now a blazing contortion of flames and liquid magma, her hair was now a full blown furnace of fire(which surprisingly kept its volume and luster), and her eyes glowed a bright burning yellow to match the curving and spiraling tattoos on her back.

"I think someone wants to get serious" Ardelle leapt from the floor and began his own metamorphosis. He now was very pale, with large five inch fangs in his mouth, and the air seemed to freeze when it touched him.

Ardelle swung at Albina but was met with another ball of fire that flung him against a bright blue and yellow door. The owner of said door opened it to see a charcoaled Ardelle. "What the hell can you guys have your lover's quarrel somewh.." His words were cut short when Ardelle shoved him into his room and slamed the door and ducked to dodge another fire ball. 'I love this' he thought as he rolled out of Albina's line of fire.

Ardelle began summoning three small little ice creatures that resembled raccoons and commanded them to hunt down Albina. The small creatures looked at him with skepticism at his suicidal command. He yelled at them to charge and they obeyed unwillingly. One of them ran straight at her but was melted by the ambient heat of her body, another tried jumping at her from the roof but she burned him away with a small fireball, and the last one fired icicles from its mouth which distracted her long enough for him to scratch her before melting from the sheer heat of her skin.

Albina looked up at Ardelle and smirked "is that it...wow I expected more from a vampire prince" she began laughing and it was at that moment of weakness that Ardelle whispered "smother". The weight of his words scared Ablina out of her joyous laughter and she looked around to see that the floor had began to move around her feet and was trying to eat her. Ardelle laughed and began sweating "damn I over did it" he huffed and he returned to his ordinary appearance with his pale blue eyes and his skin seemed to gain life and didnt seem so dead anymore not to mention his fangs vanished.

Albina panicked as the floor pulled her more and more in and then the power she struggled to keep under control everyday came flooding forth and she exploded with a fire and heat so intense the floor returned to normal and Adrelle was sent flying a good nineteen feet. Albina screamed "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"as more fire burst forth and it seemed it would never end.

The ruckus had alerted most people in their rooms as many came out to see Albina unleashing the kinda heat you get from a star. A girl was brave enough to leave the safety of her doors threshold instead of the others who watched and did nothing. The girl sported green and white hair, rainbow colored eyes, and to top off her appearance a copper colored complexion.

"Hey babe imma need you to stop please" she pleaded with Albina as she stepped closer and the fire seemed to have no effect on her "hey love I need you to stop please". Her attempts to calm Albina failed and seemed to warrant no response except for her continuous screaming.

"I hate him!!!! I hate it!!! I hate me!!! I hate everything!!!" Albina screamed as her fire burned even hotter which forced one student with common sense to go get a school official. As the student began the trek down the hall everything began to tremble and suddenly a woman stood in the hallway. "Ms. Minkin I am going to need you to stop this" said a stern voice from the other end of the hall. The girl who was holding Albina's hand and trying(failing)to calm her down turned her head to see the Head Mistress walking towards them.

"Ms. Minkin I hate doing this to you but you give me no choice..." the Head Mistress sighed as she began to speak again "As you my progeny and I your observer I command you to sleep".

Albina collapsed as these words were uttered, her body returned to its normal state. "Mrs. Parsley please take good care of my progeny and as soon as she awakens tell her we must speak" as the Head Mistress turned to return to her office the walls seemed to warp and fluctuate as she vanished.

"Yes ma'am" answered the girl as she helped Albina up and took her to her room and closed her door and all the bystanders watched as the red door closed and most returned to their own affairs some still wondered what had caused the trouble and even fewer wondered about the boy laying unconscious on the floor.
