Only Hope: Chapter Six
Disclaimer- I Do NOT Own House Of Anubis
Joy's POV
"Joy, you have to go- they've found you!" Anastasia screams, "Oh Gods, you need to hide!"
I look around, confused as to why she was panicking. There was nothing in sight but the two of us. "What are you talking about?"
She shakes her head, muttering something under her breath, pointing a finger towards me.
"What are you doing?" I ask, "Wait- what's happening?"
I look down at the ground, waving my arms around wildly. I was trapped in a huge bubble, which was currently going up, up, and stationary.
I was just out of reach.
"Anastasia?" I scream, awkwardly trying to stand on the bubble, "What the heck?"
I fall on my face again, the ground of the bubble surprisingly hard and painful.
And then my eyes widen. "Jerome? What the heck are you doing here?"
He was hiding in the forest, watching something in wonder. I look down at the ground. Anastasia was trying to fight off these ugly looking goblin things. It was like the movie Spiderwick in real life.
I look back at Jerome, anxious about his safety. What if one of the goblins see him? "JEROME!"
I probably yelled his name too loud, seeing as Anastasia's concentration most-likely broke, causing the bubble to pop.
The ground was growing alarmingly close.
Okay, okay. What do I do?
In, Out.
In, Out.
Deep breaths.
Calm down, Joy.
I open one eye cautiously, wondering why I didn't die yet.
So- I was... Flying?
I shrug, doing some practice moves in the air, seeing what I can do. I look back down at Anastasia, hoping I could help in some way. She looks so tired- was anybody coming?
I shake my head, breathing in and out.
And so I move frantically, hovering around the battle scene. I do some weird hand movements, doing a circling motion with my right hand for a couple of seconds before pointing at a group of goblins.
They were all swept up in a twister- I steer it away from Anastasia, letting it dissipate once I levitate it high enough. They all come tumbling down.
That looks painful.
I look back at Jerome, wondering how he's holding up. He gives me a look of wonder.
I hess he's wondering how I'm 'flying.'
My eyes widen as I see a shadow approaching him.
No- not him too.
I fly over to the shadow, trapping it in a wind storm. Something tells me it's stronger than those goblins.
"I'll help." A girl says, smiling determinedly.
She runs up to the shadow, taking out two swords from her belt. She slashes at the monster, running around quickly. "Go back! I'll hold them off."
I smile gratefully, grabbing Jerome's hand. We both run to the Frobisher house, slamming the door shut behind us. I take him to the bedroom, pressing the button.
We arrive back in our world, and I quickly run to the window to make the wall reappear.
"Please don't tell anyone." I plead.
And then I fainted.
...
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" Mara yells, "YOU KILLED HER!"
"I didn't do anything!" He yells back. "SHE JUST FAINTED IN FRONT OF ME!"
"YEAH, BUT YOU WERE THERE WITH HER, YOU STUPID BOY!" Mara retorts. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!"
"BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Jerome whines. "SHE. JUST. FAINTED. IN. FRONT. OF. ME."
"Guys, why are you just standing there? We need to get her to the nurse!"
Ah, finally. Logic.
...
"But tell me, did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded- And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star? One without a permanent scar, and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?"
I cough, yawning.
"Joy!" Jerome stands up from the chair, "Do you need anything? Do you want some water?"
I nod, still coughing. I grab the glass from Jerome, smiling gratefully.
"What happened?" I ask, my voice raspy. "Is everyone okay?"
He pats my back, "Yeah. Everyone's okay. Just... Relax, kay?"
"But what if someone got hurt? What if they followed us here? What if they take everyone away?" I panic, tears forming in my eyes. "Oh my gosh, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
He shakes his head, pushing me down on the bed gently. "Joy, I'm fine. Just get some sleep, okay? Everything's fine."
"And tell me, did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?"
...
Author's Note: HOLA EVERYBODY! Another update!
This one is kind of short, so I'm planning to write another one and hopefully get it posted sometime during the week. So... Yay! A fight scene! There will be plenty more where that came from, I promise. Especially when they all figure out they have magical powers!
Oh, and from now on, I'm going to try to keep the story in Joy's POV. That way the story can move along faster and also because I want her to go through a lot of character development. So... Yeah.
See you guys on the next chapter!
HAYZEL OUT.
