Innocently Cursed

Chapter 13:

After Seth calmed down I left him alone for a bit because… I just couldn't believe… I HUGGED THAT PRETTY BOY! Damn his looks and his gentle convincing eyes! At this rate I'll end up just like Lilly suspected!

*flashback*

Me: "So why are the partners boy, girl?"

Lilly: "partners are chosen as boy and girl because they usually fall in love with each other…. (echo) fall in love… Love … love

*end of flashback*

LIKE HELL I'D LET THAT HAPPEN! I grit my teeth in anger.

I only hugged him because I just wanted help him feel better, because were friends right? There was no sentimental part of it what-so-ever. That's it! I'm glad I could solve this problem myself. That's what I call an EASY FIX!

(I smile and walk off happily)

I walked out of the café and ended up going for a night stroll, even though I didn't manage getting much done today. I just needed some space to breath and with the stars up and the moon out I hope it'll somewhat get me to relax. I'm still worried whether we'll be able to complete the mission or not. Since I was unable to help out for the past 3 days I still don't know if we've gathered enough information or not to know why the Zeckons have been attacking the civilians of Enron town. I've barley been in Syra for one week and all I've proven to be is useless.

I ended up walking around the town a lot. Just letting my thoughts guide my way. I didn't know where it would take but that's the part of surprise I guess. I ended up in the center of town near a tree that had chains around its perimeter and in front of it stood the a cement sign that had engraved on it the words " The Tree of Knowledge and Memories" in writing it said

" The tree of knowledge and memories has been around for more than 5 centuries and stood its ground through the worst of wars. Many people have fought over its power and knowledge but most do not get to see what it is truly capable of. The tree of knowledge can only work for people who have a kind heart and have an immense magical power level. Those who fulfill the requirements, maybe able to see visions of others pasts as well as their own. The tree also Grants them the knowledge of any question that have been confusing them for some time. But the tree may only work once for every person so choose your wish wisely."

Maybe that's why the Zeckons are here! For the tree I have to go tell the others. * foot steps * I froze as I heard someone stop behind me. " So you thought that it could be the tree to?" she spoke. I turned to find Stacy standing a couple feet away from the tree. Her expression was blank she stepped closer to me, and smiled. Something about this is odd Stacy hates me. By now she would be insulting me about how much of a Slut I am for stealing her evidence. She reached her hand out to me in a way that implied she wanted me to shake it. I was so confused I didn't understand a thing, did this mean she wanted to go tell everybody about the tree together? So I said, "Are you feeling okay?" and she said, "What do you mean I'm feeling fine!" and continued smiling. This is the first time since I got here that she's been nice to me. Maybe she was having a bad day or something and she just took her anger out on me? That would explain her hatred towards me. Maybe she's changed, so I reached out to shake her hand and the second my hand met hers her smile morphed into this grin of outrage that screamed DIE! She twisted my hand, turned me backwards and threw me onto the ground. I managed to wiggle my way out of her grip and threw her off of me.

Me: what was that for!

Stacy: … (remained silent)

Moved in closer and punched me with all she had, as a result I went flying a couple yards back. I tried to regain my stance but couldn't. So I just laid there and lifted my head to face her. She was standing in front of me looking down at me. I prepared myself for a kick to the ribs since it seemed like her next move. But Stacy turned away from me and started to walk away silently.

Me: COME BACK HERE THIS FIGHT ISN'T OVER! (really p*ssed voice)

But she continued walking then she paused for a second and said

"Thanks for the other day." then started running away. I couldn't believe what I just heard, did… did she just thank me!? But what kind of thank you was that! Last time I check the way to thank someone was not the pretend to be nice to them then beat the crap out of them method! But then again… it was kind of nice of her to say thanks maybe she's not as mean as she seems.

"I know it seems kind of confusing right now but I guess that's the only way she could think of to say thanks. When you really get to know her she's actually really shy person. Who doesn't how to interact with others well" Said someone

I slightly turned my head to see that it was Kylie standing behind me. How long has she been standing there? She slowly reached her hand out to help me up but when she saw that I wasn't taking her offer she kneeled down next to me. She's Stacy's best friend she probably hates me to so I'm hesitant to the thought of her helping me. Even though she hasn't caused me any harm I still wanna be careful.

Kylie: she's never really been good at saying sorry as a matter of fact I don't think I've ever heard her say it at all until now. (She smiled at me) but she sure does like to cause trouble. You just barley recovered and she managed to fracture a couple ribs.

Me: *thinks* now I remember Kylie was the one who helped heal my wounds from the attack. But wait… why would she help me and on another note… what's with people always hurting my ribs seriously aim somewhere new!

Kylie: could you please turn over so I can heal your injuries.

Me: * does as instructed * Why'd you heal my wounds when I was attacked? Don't you hate me to?

Kylie: * puts her hands above my chest and her hand starts glowing purple, I could feel this warm yet light weight on my chest * well how do I explain it?

*flashback Kylie POV *

Seth: (comes Running in) KYLIE! LUKE! HELP PLEASE Luna!

(gasps for air) Luna IS…

Luke: (puts hand on Seth's shoulder and gives him a serious look) calm your self!

Seth: (takes a deep breath and clams himself but his voice is still shaky) help please. Luna's been hurt real bad.

Luke immediately takes Luna upstairs to her room while I followed after. He laid her gently down on the bed and started healing her minor injuries (cuts and scrapes). But even as that was being done I couldn't help but think that she had very little time left and if something isn't done soon she is going to die. I reached for her wrist, and with every second that went by I could feel her pulse getting weaker and weaker. Her breathing has already gone from small breaths to her gasping for air. I know that time was running out so I had to do an x-ray spell to see the damage internally. But even as I casted out the spell I was terrified for what I was about to see, and so I said

"Witch Vision" what I saw was horrific. One of her broken rib has managed to puncture her lungs causing blood from her veins to flood in, which could cause her to drown internally. Most of her organs are punctured in some way and are bleeding out. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, with all these factors counting against her she should have died on the spot. The only thing that makes this even more unbearable to watch was that even though she's unconscious she's still screaming out of pain in her sleep. However why is she still alive? I could feel the sweat drip down my, just who is Luna? I as I gradually entered a deeper thinking state of mind I came across a big problem.

I know Luke and I specialize in earth and healing elements but even this could be out of our hands. She'll die in a few minutes anyway… then again there is one thing we could attempt, but I haven't perfected that move yet even if we make a go for it there's no telling what could happen.

Stacy: (Walks in the room) Kylie.

I turn to see Stacy standing at the door staring at Luna with a concerned look on her face. I'm still in shock from what I saw that I'm speechless so I don't respond.

Stacy: Its okay to doubt yourself and it's okay to be scared. But something I won't allow is for you just to let one of your comrades die… Make sure the B*tch lives!

And with that I snapped out of it I knew that her chances of living were slim but, that doesn't mean we still shouldn't try to save her life. I reached out my hands to Luke, and we interlocked hands over Luna's body. In order to save her we both had to go into Pandora and use Restoration magic. This magic is special because it doesn't heal wounds, but it takes them back in time before they were even there. Bottom line we redesign fates original plan so the body itself returns itself to the stage in which it was in before it was hurt. This magic's use is forbidden, to be even more correct it was forbidden to even be learned. But this time it's a special occasion because this one is for Stacy. I can't let her down. After we interlocked hands we both felt a warm yet very heavy feeling on my chest I could feel our magic strength become stronger and stronger as if it, itself was a match that was lighted on fire and being fed the power to destroy all in its way. When we felt that our magic's strength had reached its peak. The spell began:

Luke and Kylie: May we call upon the master of time and space, he who makes a fates design and has the eye to the future. Lend us your power to rewrite what has been written. To erase a future that is unneeded(I could slowly feel a massive source of energy erupt in my heart. The energy its self started to slowly consume my body. From my fingertips to my toes every part of me felt unstoppable. We each spread out our hands over Luna's body as we were about to read our final verse of the spell… we quickly opened our eyes) the contract has been made… WITCH VOID ENCHANTMENT.

After the spell was spoken all the mass energy in my body slowly felt like it was being drained away from me and put into Luna. But this wasn't a quick process we had to wait until every last drop of our magic was put into her. We stood there working for hours not moving from our stance even though we were being put at our limits I don't think we've ever remained in Pandora mode for so long, and when I thought. I was ready to pass out. She started to give off a purple light that somewhat blinded us for a second but when we looked back she was mainly healed for the most part. We managed to heal most of her wounds and even put her ribs back into place, but could only heal them to the point of being fractured. But with our magic in her it should help her heal quicker than it would on an average person, her heart was still weak though. But from the looks of it, we increased her chances of survival to a 70% instead of 5%. Luke and I left the room since what she needed now was some rest.

*End of flashback and Kylie's POV now we return to Luna's POV*

Kylie: So there you have it Stacy asked me to help you. Stacy and I have been friends from as long as I can remember. She was the adventurous one out of us two. We always got into trouble with people in our village, and I was the one who had to apologize for the both of us. No matter what we did Stacy's not one to apologize that easily, she has to feel some guilt or reason for doing so.

Me: that doesn't seem like the Stacy I know… when she's with me all she ever does is yell at me and give off a sense of anger.

Kylie: she may act like that but I don't think that's the case. From what I can see I think she wants to be friends with you she just doesn't know how to. On top of that her jealousy towards you concerning Seth does get the best of her. I just think she's confused about how she views you. But what I can tell you is she doesn't hate and neither do I.

After I had my interesting talk with Kylie I returned to the café where I would find Seth standing at the front door looking like a happypuppy waiting for its owner (me) to come back the second I entered the door he ran up to me and said…
