Chapter 7

Delays

Alphea

"Saladin I think we should do something before we go climbing up that mountain." Fargonda said over the hologram phone.

"What should we do?"

"I believe that we should ask the students if this is a prank on us. Maybe the kids just wrote down Witch Mountain on our copies not the students, and the students are just lost in a forest. We should also spread word around about this."

"Are crazy about that second part? We can't tell the whole magic dimension that we lost twenty students!"

"If we spread word around then maybe someone will call us, and tell us any information about if they saw some students going up that mountain."

"Since you put it that way it may be a smart idea. I'll call MDN and their crew over to Alphea."

"Ok Saladin, come over to Alphea later then."

The Group

It was one restless night. No one got any sleep. Everyone was trying to break free, but they ended up hurting each other. None of them even knew what they were lying on or where they were.

"Can anyone sense where we are?" Maggie asked.

"Taylor do you know?" Stella asked.

"I think we're in a cave somewhere on the floor, and I think there's cell bars." Taylor guessed.

"Guys I really don't feel good." Jane spoke softer than usual.

"Jane hole in there alright." Stella told her."

"But Stella…I think my feet are drowned in blood."

"Wait girls be quiet. I can hear them coming back." Sky said.

"Hello our prisoners!" Allie's voice screeched through the cave.

"Be quiet loud mouth!" Riven yelled.

"That's my specialty witch of voice. I use my voice for many purposes." Allie said.

"Prisoners something has come up and we need to delay our battle for the day. Tomorrow we shall battle so you got lucky." Jamie informed.

"Another day!" Jane yelled.

"What's it to ya?" Marni asked.

"I'm bleeding to death!" Jane yelled, and tried to sit up.

"Wow Jane you're usually not that loud." Jessie commented.

"I am when I'm mad."

"What's it to ya?" Allie asked.

"I don't want to die!" Jane yelled slowly.

"Fine, I'll wrap tis around your foot for now." Allie wrapped something around Jane's foot.

"Goodbye prisoners we'll see you later." The Rissy Sises left.

"Jane what did Allie wrap around your foot?" Sydney asked.

"I don't know, but I think it slowed down the bleeding."

"What are they up to?" Jessie asked.

"Girls we can hear your whole conversation you know." Helia spoke out.

"We don't care!" Jessie yelled.

"Be quiet loud mouth!" Jayden ordered.

"Both of you be quiet!" Brandon yelled. "Everyone is sick and tired of you two fighting so until we get out of here no more fighting.

"Fine."

Flora

Flora was walking off to the dining room for breakfast. While she and Chatta were going there they saw Abby and Caitlyn sneaking around the palace. They didn't have school so they didn't know where they were sneaking off to.

"Abby, Caitlyn where are you going?" Flora asked.

"Crap! CA I told you we shouldn't have been sneaking around! Especially when it's almost breakfast time and Flora walks this way to the dining room." Abby pointed out.
"Hey you're the one who wanted to sneak off to Aliza house to-" Caitlyn started until Abby covered her mouth.

"Shut up! She's standing right there!"

"You two know I can hear your whole conversation. Aliza who anyways? Our cousin Aliza or a different Aliza?" Flora asked.

"Uhhh different Aliza!" Caitlyn answered quickly after she took Abby's hand off her mouth.

"Yeah, so we'll be off. Morgan and Trevor know we're going to be gone so…bye!" Abby and Caitlyn ran out quickly.

"What are those two up to?" Chatta asked.

"I don't know, but they said my mom and dad know where they're going. Let's go ask them." Flora started walking towards the dining room again.

Abby and Caitlyn

Abby and Caitlyn were out of the palace and now in the forest.

"CA! We should've left earlier!" Abby yelled.

"I didn't want to get up earlier!" Caitlyn yelled.

"Oh one day you have to get up early, and you're going to explode." Abby had her arms crossed and rolled her eyes. Then her phone beeped, and she got it out. "Now come one Aliza just texted me wondering where we are." Abby and Caitlyn started walking again.

Dining Room

Flora had just walked in the dining room. She sat down next to her sister and her parents weren't in there yet. Flora took this opportunity to see if she knew anything.

"Hey Rose can I ask you something?" Flora asked her sister.

"Depends what's the question?"

"Do you know where Caitlyn and Abby went this morning? They usually don't get up this early unless they have something important to do."

"Oh they went to Aliza's house!"

"Our cousin Aliza or a different Aliza?"

"Umm oh-" Rose started, but their parents came in.

"Good morning girls." Trevor greeted them.

"Morning dad." They greeted.

Morgan and Trevor took their seats, and got the servants to bring out the food.

"Hey dad where's grandma and grandpa?" Rose asked.

"Oh probably still sleeping." Trevor answered.

"Ken can you turn MDN on?" Morgan asked.

"Yes Queen Morgan." Ken went over to their huge flat screen TV, and turned it on to MDN.

"Thanks for the update on the weather Delany. Now we're going to Andrea and Elise live at Alphea College for fairies." Jen announced.

"What?" Flora questioned and started watching.

"Thanks Jen. Now Elise and I are here live with the headmistress of Alphea and the headmaster of Red Fountain. They need to announce something important." Andrea announced.

"Yes something important. Now Fargonda and Saladin what's so important that you need to announce it on MDN?" Elise asked, and put a microphone up to them.

"Well we asked some students about a possible prank that might've done, and none of them did it. So now we have an emergency on our hands. We have lost ten students from Alphea and another ten from Alphea." Fargonda announced.

There was a loud real gasp from the camera crew and announcers.

"How did that happen?" Andrea asked.

"There's this evil group of witches who tricked us. Now we need your help. If you saw a group of kids heading up Witch Mountain please contact Alphea or Red Fountain. We need to find these students." Saladin explained.

"Can you tell us who these students are?" Elise asked.

"Yes I'll tell you the girls we lost. Princess Bloom of Domino, Princess Stella of Solaria, Musa of Melody, Tecna for Zenith, and Princess Aisha of Andros. Those are the five juniors' now the freshmen girls. Jessie of Hexix, Jane of Solaria, Princess Maggie of Prima, Sydney of Jacara, and Taylor of Rocky." Fargonda explained.

Flora was staring at the screen surprised at what Fargonda just said. Her four best friends and their new friend she didn't know well were lost. Jessie and her roommates she didn't know were also lost. She now knew who the Red Fountain students who were lost. Her boy friends and her ex-boyfriend were lost.

"That's so sad. Now what about the Red Fountain students?" Andrea asked.

"The Red Fountain students who are lost are Prince Sky of Eraklyon, Brandon of Erakylon, Timmy of Zenith, Riven of Rocky, Helia of Hexix, Prince Jayden of Bruntuos, Travis of Bruntuos, Daniel of Premiums, Prince Sam of Quartz, and Kyle of Minnus." Saladin announced.

"Wow those are a lot of students you lost. So if you know any information about any of these students going up to Witch Mountain contact Alphea or Red Fountain. Or if you know what happened to the students call them." Andrea announced.

"Well that's the highlight of the day. Call Alphea or Red Fountain if you know any information. That's been MDN for you today. As the show ends you'll see pictures of the students who went missing. I'll see you next time from Jennifer Justice."

The show went on to a slide show of the specialists and fairies that went missing with their names on the bottom. Flora hit record just before the slide show started. When the slide show was over she stopped recording it. She recorded that just as some pictures that may come in handy someday. Then Flora got u[ and didn't eat breakfast instead she went to her room and started to do something.

Alphea

Fargonda and Saladin were getting some calls from people saying that they saw a group of girls going up the right path and a group of boys going up the left path.

"Saladin our students are on that mountain. We need to get up that mountain as soon as possible, and save them before those evil witches kill them."

"I know. We need to get some stuff and Griffin and head up there tomorrow to save those students."

"Let's hope that it's not too late already."

Cave

The kids weren't exactly sure if it was morning or night all they knew was that they were hungry, and wanted to get out of there right away.

"Someone find a way out of here! It's not nice to trap princes and princesses!" Sam yelled.

"Be quiet! Those witches may be listening, and then sell us to our kingdoms!" Daniel warned.

"Taylor can't you use something to break whatever we're in?" Maggie asked.

"Maybe if our powers worked and I could see." Taylor said.

"Wait be quiet. I can hear someone talking." Stella said.

There was an echo through the cave.

"What are you talking about Marni?" Allie asked.

"I think we should kick them to death! Like we used to do when we played with the soccer balls." Marni said.

"No! I think we should use our magic and kill them!" Allie yelled.

"Als, Marns shut up! We can kick them, and use our magic to kill them." Jamie said.

"Will they have their magic when we battle them?" Marni asked.

"Yes they will, but they'll be no match to us. There's ten freshmen. We kill them off then the older ones we kill off. It'll be fun." Jamie said.

"Do you think the three principals are coming?" Allie asked.

"Probably soon, but our prisoners will be dead by then." Jamie said.

The group was listening to their whole conversation.

"Are they really going to kill us?" Aisha asked.

"No one knows. We've never dealt with these witches before." Tecna said.

"I just hope that Fargonda, Saladin, and maybe even Griffin are coming to help us." Stella said.

"Hey Jane you there? You're a little too quiet." Sydney asked.

No answer. "Jane if you're playing with us it's not funny." Taylor said.

Then there was a soft mumble. "I feel like I'm dying."

"What did Allie wrap on your foot?" Musa asked.

"I don't know. It stopped the bleeding, but I feel so weak like I'm dying slowly." Jane mumbled.

Everyone was now scared. Jane might be dying a slow death and they can't even see what's going on. There was only one option on what to do.

"HELP!" Everyone yelled.

Please Review! So what's going to happen to the group? How does Flora feel about all of this? Why are Abby and Caitlyn sneaking around? I don't know if I'll get another chapter in before Christmas or not so you'll have to wait. In the meantime why don't you go check out my one-shot called Blaze of Unknown Invisible Love. Until next time. SCHMEE SCHMAA!
