"TOM, AND JASMINE, I want you outside in ten minutes if you want to go with us to the cliff, a minute later than that, and we'll leave you behind."

"Come on, Jasmine, hurry up!" Tom said, "Oh, and grab that torch on the bed too, we might need it."

"Where did you get this stuff — this torch, this rope, and this — "

"I've got sources." Tom simply, "Hurry up!"

"Alright, alright! I heard you!" Jasmine said, and then mumbled under her breath, "talk about Mister grumpy pants —"

"I can hear you, Jasmine!" Tom called from outside, as he began impatiently knocking on the wall, for her to worry up.

"I know!" Jasmine shouted back, she fumbled around, and grabbed the torch, "Geez, girls need time you know."

"Time for what?" Tom smirked, "Time for being scaredy cats, and thinking about backing out of the plan?"

"Now way, I'm going through with this." Jasmine said flustered.

"We'll see." Tom clicked his tounge.

______________

"OKAY, I'M STARTING TO LIKE THIS TRIP." Dennis Bishop said, as he chewed on his food with his mouth open.

Mrs. Cole was giving the children a treat, and had packed half of a sandwich for everyone. The kids were almost mad with joy, especially plump Dennis Bishop who was always hungry.

Tom elbowed Jasmine lightly, "Come on Jasmine, we need to get going, if we want to see the cave."

Jasmine was starting to have her doubts again, and bit on her lip, "Tom, are you sure about this, because I don't feel like we should be doing this."

Tom rolled his eyes, "I knew you would chicken out in the end —"

Jasmine got up, and discreetly slipped the rope in her pocket. She slowly sneaked towards the cave. She would show Tom she was no chicken. She could sneak into he cave! She wasn't scared!

   Tom smirked behind her, and followed her. Oh, he definitely knew how to work around things, even with his sister. He knew everyone's weaknesses and was a master at manipulating them, by the use of said weaknesses. 

The cave smelled of damp weed and plants. It smelled of the earthy smell of dust. It smelled of rock, dirt and mud. Jasmine inhaled the smell, and smiled. Her heart stopped beating when she heard footsteps behind her.

She whiped around, and looked towards Tom, who was trying to look brave but looked worried all the same. He raised his voice.

"Who's there?" he asked. Silence. "Show yourself!"

Jasmine heard heavy grunting, and she almost sighed in relief when she saw Dennis Bishop approaching them. He gave a huge sigh, as if it took a lot of effort to climb up to this cliff, and looked towards them.

"Look, I saw you two sneaking up here, and I know that Mrs. Cole had two extra sandwiches in her picnic basket thingy. So, I put two and two together and figured you sneaked here with those sandwiches." Dennis said, "I'll make you a deal. If you give me one whole of those sandwhiches, I'll forgot this ever happened. On the other hand, if I don't get a sandwich, I'll tell on you, right now."

I nearly laughed with relief, "We're not sneaking sandwhiches —"

   Footsteps echoed through the cave, once again. This time, revealing the blonde, bespectacled Amy Benson. She looked at us confused.

"I saw Dennis sneak here . . . but when did you guys come?"

"We're here exploring, if you want to join us, do. But if you don't, if you go back an tell on us, you'll regret it." Tom threatened.

   I saw the two gulp. The stuffed bunny story had travelled in the orphanage like wildfire. Kids were afraid.

"O—okay, we'll come." Amy said, and Dennis nodded.

    We went further into the tunnel, and we found a lake, there was no mean of transportation over it, so we groaned. Tom tried to magic something, by focusing all his concentration, but he couldn't do anything.

   Jasmins decided to take this as a chance to prove myself.

   She tried to do what Tom was doing. She focused on her everything. All the emotions that have been bottled up inside of her, fled out. She released everything, and she heard gasping noises, and she opened my eyes which she had closed without realising it.

   There was a boat on the ground in front of her. She grinned, and she heard Dennis and Amy gasp and applaud her. She looked towards Tom, expecting him to be proud pf her, but all that was there broke her heart.

Envy. Anger. Jealousy.

They got into the boat, and Dennis started complaining that he was hungry. Amy admitted that she was hungry too. Tom rolled his eyes and ignored them, and looked into the lake as they went along. Jasmine however, after having a taste of appreciation wanted to be the big person again. She focused her mind to make food appear.

Sure enough, delicous dishes appeared in the boat with them. On their laps, in their hands, and a brownie in Dennis' mouth.

"Ugh!" Tom lashed out at his sister, "Stop being such an attention seaker, Jasmine!"

Jasmine glared at him, "Me? An attention seeker? Let's talk about you, Tom. "Imagine how it would feel like to be worshipped by —"

The mad glint in Tom's eyes of such malice and coldness she had never seen before was enough to stop her. And then, Tom did something that Jasmine would never imagine he would ever do to her.

He slapped her.

At first, she felt nothing. She felt absolutely numb. Suddenly she realised that the cold look in Tom's eyes was not only something she could see, but feel.

She felt her whole body going cold. She couldn't move her legs, and the cold spread all over her body. Her teeth rattled, and her body shook. And she screamed.

"Tom — please — make it stop. I'll freeze to death — Tom — please."

"What — I didn't do anything — what's happening — Jasmine? Jasmine? JASMINE?" To, shouted, but it was too late. His sister was completely frozen and immobile.

Tom buried his face in his hands, and tried to shake Jamsine, every time in hopes that she would suddenly jump at him, laughing and saying she pranked him. But that didn't happen. It was all his fault. He lost his sister.

Dennis Bishop and Amy Benson on the other hand, were petrified by what they'd seen, and were completely sppechless. Their eyes were threatening to jump off their sockets.

And this is how they would remain for the rest of their life.

Tom later threatened them to not even try to tell anyone about what had happened in that cave in case they recovered.

He didn't tell anyone about what happened to Jamsine. He told the orphanage that she'd run away, but he didn't tell anyone the truth. Instead, he hid her in the cupboard he kept his other treasures in.

A/N: We getting into action now. Dumbledore might make an appearance soon. Hehehehe.
