Not much happened in this chapter. I have little time to write this chapter. I will be taking a small three to four days break before writing another chapter.

Chapter 11: Sapphire

I and Ballbags32 left the cook to his happiness. The moment I shut the door behind us, my friend tab began to rumble. I took it out of the tabs pouch and placed it in between Ballbags32 and my ears.

"Listen, and listen carefully. If you are wondering where is your beloved friend Crystal, you will have to meet me, in the forest, in the middle of Lumbridge and Draynor." At the end of the speech, I could hear Crystal struggling. "What do you want?" I said, my heart started to race. "I want, your life." And there was no one left on the tab. "Hello?! Hello!" I yelled. No answer. The voice seemed familiar, but I can't lay my finger on it. "So what are we going to do?" Ballbags32 asked. "We just have to wait and see..." My words trailed off.

We had a lot of time until midnight, so we went training on goblins and some giant rats. Our attack, defense, and strength level grew, but Ballbags32 did an extra hour of training with his bow. His combat level grew drastically, and he was tougher than me...slightly. He was eager on using his magic bow, but his range level was only 20. My combat level is 13, and he is 15. I looked at the Lumbridge church clock, it was 6:45 pm. There is still a long way to go, to reach midnight. "Hey, lets go to the Lumbridge church. I have not been there before." Ballbags32 tap me gently on the shoulder. "Alright, lets go." We wiped sweat off our faces and walked to the church.

The door, was already open and there seems to be people in the church. "Hello there!" A priest greeted warmly. "Welcome to Lumbridge Church! The one place where people would stay to pray and chat. What can I do you for?" he asked. "Well, we are new in Lumbridge, and we are just looking around." I said. The priest nodded in reply. "Well then boys, my name is Father Aereck, if you boys would like to pray to the good god of Saradomin, feel free to use the altar in this church." He smiled. He was wearing the usual priest outfit with a silver Saradomin necklace around his neck. We did call upon the gods for some help during the training, maybe recharging our prayers wouldn't be a bad idea.

We prayed at the altar, and we felt slightly refreshed. We still have a lot of time until midnight. I guess we have to get some sleep. "Hey, father. Could you wake us up before midnight? We have to um, to meet a friend." I said, convincingly. "Midnight? Well, that is a strange time to meet a friend, but, adventurers your age don't care about time haha! Sure, as long as you wake up." He laughed and walked around the room, cleaning, arranging books, chairs and stuff. I sat on a nearby wooden bench, and felt its nice wooden texture. My eyes felt heavy all of a sudden, I lay flat on the bench and fell asleep.

"You there stop!" I opened my eyes, a black hooded man ran past me, I could actually hear his heartbeat. Wait, or was that my heartbeat? The guard ran past me to chase the hooded man. I watched as they ran into the distance, my breath felt heavy, my lungs, cold. The place slowly turned into ice, making my whole body numb. I was wearing nothing but my usual clothing. No warm fur or coat to warm me. I felt the cold, stinging my skin like needles, I wanted to scream, but my inner conscious told me not to. Someone was nudging me on the foot.

"Huh?! What? What is going on? Father? What do you want?" I rubbed my eyes sleepily. I yawned and sat on the bench. I could see Ballbags32 taking a nap on a bench opposite of me. "It is nearly midnight, wake up. Your friend is waiting for you, I guess.." I got up and stretched. I knocked on Ballbags32 bench. "No not the face! Oh...sorry, must have gotten a nightmare. What time is it?" He yawned and rubbed his eyes. "It is nearly midnight, we got to meet, um the person." I said. "Oh right, lets go." He was awake, and not a slight of tiredness could be seen from him.

We said our thanks to the father and left the church. We followed the path north until there was three fork in the road. Right, leads to the stone bridge, middle leads to the furnace area and left leads to the fishing shop and a forest. I am guessing the forest is that way. Lumbridge was peaceful, cold and empty in the night. An owl hoots and the light from the moon shone down on us with its brilliant radiance. The air was cold, the grass was damp and crickets were jumping around. Our footsteps broke the silence as we walked down the rocky path of the forest. Mosquitoes were feeding on us, sucking our blood like there was no tomorrow.

"I hope this guy hurries. I don't want to be fed alive by mosquitoes." Ballbags32 quote. I gave a small, silent laugh which only we could hear. We stopped walking when we were under a large tree. I looked up and took a deep breath. In front of us, I heard laughter.

"So, you finally came." I was shocked to see who it was. The hair, the eyes, the legs. It was the girl who was sitting by the bridge. She was behind all this. "You, I should have known it was you from the start! Why did you do this?!" I yelled, rage flows through my body. "I did this for money, for power which none of you can imagine!" She wore a dark mage robes and an evil presence could be felt. "I gave you those sweets to lure you out of Crystal's sight.

"Where is she!?!" I yelled louder this time. I took a few steps closer to her. "Stay back! Nothing is to be gained from floundering about at random." She laughed evilly. Ballbags32 took out his oak bow which he bought at the general store and aimed it at her. "I will turn you into a porcupine!" Ballbags32 released the string and let loose the arrow. She stopped the projectile with one hand, and the arrow dropped to the ground. "Are you sure you want to fight me? I will be known as the powerful magician Sapphire!" She laughed which sends goosebumps.

Her name is Sapphire. She is an evil bitch who wants to take on the world with magic...at least that is what I know. "Ballbags32, let me take her on, she is my one foe I must defeat alone." Ballbags32 nodded in agreement. He took a few steps back and let me do my work. "While we fight, I have a job for that little monkey." Sapphire swung her hand and a dozen skeletons surrounded Ballbags32.

"Are you ready for this?" She smiled. "This fight is going to be fun." I said calmly.

Well, now you have to wait for three or four days before the fight starts. Muahaha!
