At the school, late at night. Reina, her friends, and Professor Cielo are having a meeting at their secret place beneath the enchanted lake.
REINA: I agree with Estrella, we should….
LOLA: (interrupting) Blah, blah we all know that ‘Princess Estrella’ is your favourite! Of course, you agree with her duhh (rolling her eyes).
FUEGO: Drop the attitude already, Lola! We are all on the same side here.
ESTRELLA: For some reason you don’t like me, Lola, and that’s fine, but can you leave your emotions aside and remember why we are here, please?
FUEGO: Don’t take it personally Ella, I have known her for almost three years, and I can confirm that she does not like anyone at all!
LOLA: Oh please…
Prof Cielo enters and clears his throat to make his presence known
PROF CIELO: Sorry I am late, kids; those stinky lake guards wouldn’t let me through because I forgot the password pffft.
REINA: (Giggles)
FUEGO: Prof, if you so easily forget the password we use every single night then I am really afraid of asking if you still remember the correct formula for… (fakes a cough)
PROF CIELO: (Scoffing) Young man, I can forget everything in this world but never my formulas! And by never, I mean, not even if hell melts!
LOLA: Uhm isn’t hell like…a lake of fire?
ESTRELLA: I thought it was a beautiful place filled with rainbows and sunshine.
FUEGO: It doesn’t even exist in the first place (shakes his head).
Reina loudly rings the bell in her hand.
PROF CIELO: Holy smokes, Miss Valente, do you want to make us deaf?
REINA: Now that you are all paying attention can we please get back to why we are here?
There is silence in the room as everyone looks around.
ESTRELLA: I guess the meeting has officially begun then.
Lola stands up. She creates an elaborate illusion that shows how things would be if the evil headmistress succeeded in her evil plans; how she would wreak havoc and bring destruction not only to the academy but to the entire supernatural world. In the illusion, an impenetrable darkness has taken over, a war has broken out and the oceans have been dyed red with supernatural blood while evil creatures roaming the streets. Those who refuse to follow Diablo’s orders have been thrown into dungeons, bound with chains, marked all over their bodies like slaves while their souls are being slowly sucked out each and every single day till nothing remains of them.
REINA: (Tears welling up in her eyes) That was quite a vivid picture you painted, Lola, thank you. Your skills have served us well. We need to remember that we face nothing less than total destruction if she succeeds in her plans.
ESTRELLA: We cannot allow that witch to succeed, we must stop her before the Media Luna night, or everything will fall apart.
FUEGO: And on that note, will the potion be ready before the Media Luna night, Prof?
PROF CIELO: (Clearing throat) There’s a small problem kids. For the potion to work we will need something from Headmistress Diablo.
LOLA: Something ?
PROF CIELO: Yes, something that has sentimental value to her.
There is silence again.
FUEGO: But Prof, that woman doesn’t even have emotions, she is the same evil witch that has been casting dark spells on students and sucking out their powers to make herself stronger.
ESTRELLA: And she is the very same woman that has planned to sacrifice students during the Media Luna night to achieve her twisted goal of being invincible and immortal; basically, this person is stone cold!
PROF CIELO: You all make good points. But remember that every single creature in this supernatural world has emotions, even Headmistress Diablo.
REINA: Okay, I think I have an idea….
