Chapter 14: It All Comes Down to This

Sup guys. I'm back with another chapter for all of you. Sorry I took long. I had a difficult time coming up with this and putting it together. At least it's done now. Special thanks to Miss Private Daniel Jackson for your help on this chapter.

To reply to those reviews:
To Miss Private Daniel Jackson: I'm glad you liked the last chapter.
To Obsessivebookdiva: I'm sorry to hear that you were angry. I hope you aren't now.

Without further ado, on with the story.

Iris's Point of View:

The ball of lightning was growing bigger, and I stared at it in awe and fear. Although, it only lasted a few seconds.

Someone had come on the porch and knock it into the air. I quickly stood up and shouted, "Come on!" I pushed the person of the porch and ran as fast as we could.

We ran to the side walk, when behind us, we heard a loud zap of electricity. I looked at the person standing next to me and noticed it was Rory. We both exchanged confused looks.

'What happened?' Rory thought. Before I could answer, I heard footsteps coming towards us. I turned around and saw Ethan, Benny, and his grandmother rushing to us.

"Are you okay?" Ethan asked, worry written all over his face.

"Yes, I'm fine." I assured him.

"Are they gone?" Benny asked.

"I don't know." I answered. 'But I hope so.' I thought.

We looked at the house hidden by the smoke that caused by the commotion. Silence filled the night, but it didn't last long before it was followed by some evil laughing.

"Stupid girl. You think you'll get away that easily. Well, you're wrong!" she said with a maniacal look in her eyes. Her partner walked closely behind her, with the same expression.

"So it is her." murmured Benny's grandmother.

"What? You know her?" Benny asked in a shouted-whisper.

"Yes, but-" she started, although she was interrupted by Ethan.

"We can talk about this later." he blurted out. "We have other things to worry about, right now."

My two kidnappers were walking closer and closer. They made their way down the steps of the porch and down the sidewalk with faces of murders ready to kill someone.

I kept my expression serious, but deep inside I was terrified. I had no idea what to do. The boys' scared thoughts kept me from trying to read Anna's mind and figuring out what she planned to do with us.

"I know you have made some friends here in White Chapel, although one of them you care more deeply about him." she said coolly and her tender smile turned into a dark smirk. "Let's see how you do without him."

She raised her hand and murmured a spell.

ZAP!

A bright, dark purple lightning ray crackled its was to Ethan and hit his body. Ethan's eyes widen and he let out painful scream which sent goosebumps all over my body. Rory and Benny, who were standing next to Ethan, caught him before he fell to the ground.

I felt a pain in my stomach and clung onto it. I gritted my teeth as I felt it come and go as quickly as the event happened.

Her eyes gleamed with revenge and a satisfied smile formed on her lips.

Benny's grandma, with her quick thinking, chanted a spell which caused Anna to freeze in place. Henry, her partner, turned around to run. He only made it far as to in front of Ethan's house before Rory pointed him out. "He's getting away."

"Not on my watch." Benny stood up, chanted the same spell his grandmother said and froze him as well.

Meanwhile, I was standing there, doing nothing at all to help. I just watched the event unravel in front of me. All I was doing was trembling and thinking 'It's all my fault. It's all my fault.' over and over again. Tears were forming in my eyes and my bottom lip quivered. One moment ago, I seemed powerful and independent. Now I seem helpless.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to face whoever it was.

"Are you alright, sweetie?" she said, her face full of concern.

"Yea," I choked back a sob. "I'm okay."

"Well, come on. I might need your help." she lead me to the boys on the grass. I slowly kneeled down next to Ethan. "Do you think you can heal him?"

"I can try." I said and bit my lip to prevent myself from crying. I placed my hand on his chest and focused my energy on him.

"Is Ethan going to be okay?" Rory asked.

"Yes." I said flatly. I had to heal him, if I didn't I would have never forgave myself. I closed my eyes and concentrated on healing Ethan. I felt a warm feeling escape from my fingers and onto Ethan's body.

I still had my eyes closed when Ethan's eyes fluttered open and he slowly placed one of his hands on top of mine. When he did that, I opened my eyes and looked down at him.

I stared into his chocolate brown eyes that were filled with concern and worry. I gave him a small smile to assure him that everything would turn out fine.

He slowly got up from the grass and I slipped my hand away. I looked at him, making sure he was completely healed. He seemed fine, which relaxed my tensed muscles.

"What are we going to do about them?" Rory pointed to my kidnappers.

"Iris, do you know how we can defeat them?" Benny asked.

"I have no idea." I sighed sadly. "If I knew I would have done it a long time ago."

"Maybe Ethan can try to see if his seer abilities can help us." Benny's grandmother suggested. "Can you do it?"

"I'll try." Ethan said and stood up as if he had never been injured. He walked without any sign of injury, over to the pair of evil-doers and placed a hand on each of their shoulders.

He turned around and described his vision. "All I saw was Iris standing in front of them. She seemed to say something while staring into their eyes. Then she touched their forehead and they burst into dust."

Everyone looked at me with confused looks and I knew what they were all thinking. "What is he talking about?"

"I-I think I know what you're talking about." I stuttered. "It-It's a spell used to dissolve any dark, black magic. We usually use it to get r-rid of any evil energy lingering in a person's body."

"Do you know how to do it?" Benny asked.

"I'm a mystical being, of course I know how to do it. Although, the only setback is that I have to be in my natural form. I can't perform it, while being human."

"Then, how did you heal Ethan? You were still human when you did that." Benny questioned.

"Yea, I was still human when I performed that little trick. But, I still had control over that ability. The spell Anna cast on me prevented most of my faery abilities, not my elf ones." I explained. "That's why I was able to heal him. Also, why I could read minds and read your auras. They are all elf abilities. Ones that I use to help humans."

"Okay, so first we have to reverse the spell then-" Benny started.

"Don't worry about it." his grandmother interrupted. "After, Iris stated all the outcomes of the curse, I think I know which spell was used on her. I also know how to reverse it."

"Let's not waste any time, then." Ethan blurted out.

"Okay, Iris. I need you to stand there," she pointed to a clear, patch of grass. I obeyed her command and walked over to where she pointed. "Now boys, I need you to stand behind me and make sure you don't get in the way." The boys nodded and walked to where she directed them. They all stared at me, anxious to see what would happen.

Benny's grandmother waved her hand in the air and chanted the spell, that my kidnappers used, in reverse. A white ray of light struck my body, sending a warm comforting sensation through me.

I opened my eyes and looked down at my clothes. Instead of wearing my jacket, plain t-shirt and skinny jeans, I was wearing a long lavender dress. Instead of wearing tennis shoes, I was wearing flats. On my hand, I was wearing a silver bracelet. On my head, I wore a circlet made of silver.

"Wow," I heard the boys gasp. I looked up and felt myself blush slightly. I smiled and walked over to them.

"Your majesty." Ethan bowed and everyone copied his action.

"No, don't do that." I giggled.

"Ready?" Benny's grandmother asked.

"Yes," I nodded. And walked over to the pair of evil-doers. I chanted the spell in the language of faeries and touch both their foreheads, like in Ethan's vision. Just like in the vision, they burst into dust that was blown away by the wind.

I turned around and faced the rest of the group.

"We did it." I gasped and smiled. Benny, Rory and his grandmother hugged each other. Ethan hugged me and I hugged him back, smiling. I stared into his eyes and quickly let go of his body, blushing deeply.

"What now?" Rory asked.

There you guys have. It was my first attempt in writing a magical fight scene and I hope you liked it because it took me a while to put it together.

Did I do good?

Haha, anyways see you later everyone.
