Agatha's POV
Agatha grunted and moaned as she was dragged through the air, still half-asleep. She was dimly aware of Sophie next to her.
"Agatha! Agatha please wake up!"
"Mmm…" Agatha groaned and she heard Sophie sigh beside her.
"Aggie! We're flying in mid-air and you're sleeping. Seriously?!" Agatha remained silent.
Wait. Did Sophie just say 'flying in mid-air'?
"Don't blame me if you get knocked by a branch or something." WHAM! Typical. Agatha felt a sharp pain on her leg. She moaned as she rubbed her eyes open to see Sophie rummaging in a bag.
"Urgh, I'm sure I packed a napkin. It's got to be in here somewhere." Sophie frowned. Agatha frowned too. Sophie had packed? And, out of all the things she could have packed, she packed a napkin? As if reading her mind, Sophie said,
"I've packed other things too, not just a napkin."
A few moments later, Sophie emerged from the bag, a pale pink napkin in her hand.
"Lift your leg up Aggie, so I can bandage it." Agatha did as she was told, wanting the pain to stop more than anything. It wasn't easy for Sophie, as it was dark and they were moving almost at the speed of light.
"Well, I've done my best, just hope that when we get there, someone can re-bandage it for you." There was a moment of tense silence.
"Agatha, do you think I'm Evil? Because I know that you're definitely not Evil."
Agatha looked up at Sophie. "I know that you're definitely not Evil either."
There was another moment of silence. Then suddenly, the shadow dropped them. At first they thought that they would hit the ground, but they didn't. They were suspended near the top of a tall elm tree. The girls sat back and took deep breaths.
"I told you it was real Aggie. I told-" Sophie was cut off when she saw a giant black egg at the top of the tree. It spilt open, pouring out sticky goo as an enormous bird, made only from bones, came out from the shell. The girls gaped at it in astonishment. Then without any warning, the bird grabbed the girls, one in each claw, and flew away.
Agatha could see Sophie clinging onto the bird's ankle as if her life depended on it. She rolled her eyes. Agatha on the other hand, wasn't worried about falling as she wasn't afraid of heights, unlike Sophie.
Not long after, Agatha could see the tips of two castles, one pink and blue, the other black. She nudged Sophie, who was cowering away from any branches or bushes.
"Look, there it is." Sophie's eyes widened.
"The School for Good and Evil." Sophie breathed.
Each second they neared the school. Each second their hearts beat faster. Agatha decided to break the silence.
"So erm, I guess this is where we say good bye?" she said as they hovered over the School for Good.
"Have fun in Good, Aggie." Agatha could barely hear what Sophie just said, she must be really afraid.
"Sophie, listen to me. We only have a few seconds left, so I'm gonna say this really quickly. I know for a fact that you're not Evil. If one of us is Evil, it'll be me. But if they do take you to the School for Evil, which they probably won't, then don't be hard on yourself, OK? It won't be the end of the world! Just think about the, erm… just think about- AHHH!" Agatha was suddenly cut off as the bird had let go of her. Sophie sighed as Agatha fell into soft blue and pink clouds.
"Just think about how Evil I am. I knew it. I just knew it. It's so obvious that I'm Evil." Sophie murmured sadly.
She suddenly realized that the bird wasn't moving.
"Why aren't you flying over to Evil to drop me there?" Sophie asked the bird, squinting in the sunlight. As she looked up at the bird, she saw that it had let go of her completely. She was the one that hadn't let go.
With a squeal of delight, she reached up and pecked the bird.
"Thank you." Sophie whispered. Then she braced herself and let go.
