Sorry for my late update anyhow here's chapter 11:
Jenna fell into glen with the thing still sticking to her. She used all her power to push it away and it turned into black mist. Jenna looked down she saw water –sea- she knew it was end of everything because there were a lot of rocks and trees down there, in her heart she said goodbye to everyone –even Marcia – suddenly she crashed to something sharp, pain filled her body and then darkness
Beetle watched Jenna and the thing disappear with a great horror. He wanted to jump also but he thought that will not help Jenna. Luckily Jenna had left her bag on the ground. Beetle ran to it and searched it until he found an expandable rope. He knot the rope around the cliff near to the edge and threw the rope down. As he began to go down horrible thoughts about Jenna ran to him but he stopped thinking about them. He reached the water which he knew wasn't so deep and is where Jenna might be. He swam into the water and called Jenna until he reached a place filled with rocks and trees, a little further he saw a figure in the water.
"Jenna!" He gasped and swam faster toward her. Jenna lay unconscious and filled with blood next to a rock. Beetle grabbed her and swam to surface, he lay her on the sands and cleaned the blood with his sleeves just then he saw that she wasn't breathing. He placed his hand on her ribcage and pushed gently but firmly, a lot of water came out from her mouth but she still wasn't breathing. Beetle went pale what would happen if she died then a though came to his mind. He placed his lips on hers and began to breathe in her with all his strength. Much to Beetle's amazement Jenna opened her eyes weakly.
"Jenna, you're ok." Said Beetle with a big smile.
The first thing Jenna saw was a fade, wet figure of Beetle "Beetle …. I think I …ouch" Jenna closed her eyes from pain. Just then Beetle saw that Jenna was injured. Her jeans were thorn and her leg was bleeding badly
"What should I do?"
"Just… put…som…something…on…it…from my…my bag."
Beetle toke her wet bag there wasn't so much left, only sharp stuff. He took a knife and ripped his jacket to pieces then he rolled it around Jenna's very thin legs.
Beetle sighted, he hated to see Jenna in that state, so weak and thin, it just didn't match her "Looks like you can't walk for a while."
"No, I must. We have to save Sep, remember?"
"We can't even save ourselves. How do you suppose we get to the Ice tower?" Said Beetle rather sharply
Jenna looked around for a moment "There's a stick! I'll just hold on to it and walk. I'm sure that we'll reach Ice tower in no time."
Beetle shrugged but got up and gave Jenna the stick. With Beetle's help Jenna stood up and relied her weight on the stick. They walked for about 1 meter until Jenna fell. Beetle knew that Jenna was far too stubborn to accept his offer so without any word Beetle lifted Jenna with his both hands
"Beetle, put me down." Said Jenna then her voice into her best princess voice "now."
"No way, you're too weak and don't worry about weight, you're light as a feather."
Septimus watched everything reluctantly, there was something troubling him "If you wanted Jenna to come here, then why you are making her way harder?"
"Because I don't want that boy- what was his name?
"Beetle." Supplied Merrin
Yes, Beetle to come with her." Said Linda
"But Jen…I mean Jenna was about to die." Said Septimus
Linda was tired of him turned back and went but Merrin stayed "No worries, if she dies it's better but I think your other friend didn't came to this mission 'cause of you."
"What are you saying? Beetle is my best friend of course he came 'cause of me."
"Or his love?" Merrin grimaced. He went and left Septimus alone with vague feelings.
Beetle walked, taking Jenna with him –who stopped objecting- until they saw a flash of light.
Jenna narrowed her eyes "What is that?"
"A town." Gasped Beetle "Let's go there and ask for help."
"But Beetle I'd rather not, look at us. Your shirt is wet and red of blood and so is my cloths. Don't you think it's a little suspicious?" Said Jenna
"They are lots of thugs around here so don't worry. I can see a buffet there maybe they have some cloths and foods but Jen take off your crown and stay close to me, it's not a very pleasant place for a girl."
Jenna nodded and toke of her crown and Beetle putted the crown in the bag. As they reached the first shop Jenna convinced Beetle to put her down.
They walked to the buffet (Which was named Duckling Chuckling) arms in arms. Suddenly Jenna saw fireworks and cheers "Beetle I think it's new year."
"Yeah, happy New Year Jen."
"Happy new year, Beetle" Just as Jenna said this the door of the buffet opened and a man came out laughing who stopped when he saw Jenna and Beetle's ragged cloths "Who are you? Your names."
"Jane Crawford and David Battleson ." Said Jenna, who quickly mad up some names, thinking it's best to keep their identities hidden. Beetle shot a surprised glance at her.
The man who appeared to be the head of the café looked at them weirdly "Well your coming in or nay?"
"Yes of course."
As Jenna and Beetle walked into the café they regretted their choice. It was worse than Ghotyk Grotto, They were thugs all around them and as they walked in they all looked at they're torn cloths with open mouths. Beetle noticed them and turned at the café's head "Umm sir, do you have some cloths that you can lend us?"
"Money only."
"Ok, we'll pay. Do you have?"
The man nodded and they followed him until they reached a door that led to a small room.
The man cleaned his throat and showed a box to them "We often have plays here those cloths are for ancient stories but they are better than your current ones." He said and glanced at Beetle
Beetle gave him some money and he left. They opened the box, the cloths design was so old for example all the women cloths sleeves were until the end of the skirts.
Jenna took the dress that was better than the other ones "They're ancient, but what he said was true at least they are not torn. So where we can change?"
Beetle also took out some cloths "There's a curtain there maybe we can change behind it. You first." He pulled the curtain and Jenna went behind it with a feeling as if she was doing something wrong.
She came out and looked at the cloths with dismay. Beetle smiled "Suits you." Jenna also smiled and pushed Beetle to the curtain "Your turn." Beetle changed into a guard and came out. They both went out of the room and sat on a table and Beetle ordered two hot coffees . They both looked around. Eventually Beetle spoke "When you fell I was so scared." He said a little awkwardly "Please don't risk your life again."
Jenna looked down, her hair covered her face. For a second Beetle thought that she was crying but when she looked at his eyes they were no tears in her eyes just some weird blaze - if any expert saw it he would immediately say that it was love- "I'll risk my life for my best friend hundred times as I know he does the same for me."
Beetle looked at her. It might be the right time to tell her "There is something I wanted to tell you for a long time."
"What is it?"
"It's….
To be continued….
That's it for now. Hope you liked it and I have to tell that I didn't have time to work on this chapter so please accept my apologies for the mistakes.
