The Last Fight - Chapter Twenty-Five
Fiara's P.O.V.
I was pondering on what to do next. I was outside his house. The one to save us all from... her. I don't know why she was here. Or why she wanted to destroy us all. The only thing I knew, was that she knew three girls had the power to destroy all of this realm. They had the power to give all of us pain. One the pain of mind corruption, another the pain of hunger for war, and another the pysical pain. The pain of the black flame. The strongest power in all of the world. More powerful than Notch. But this man, Sky, was the only one who could stop this, Lyrist, from using them.
I walked up to the door and cautiously knocked. No answer. After all this? No answer?! Not what I was hoping for. I guess since I had risked my life for him, he wanted to do something about it, but not now. Now he had to be home. Now he had to be somewhere for me to contact him.
What now? What will I do? Just wait. I guess so. I wonder if the door is unlocked. Since this house is so far back into the woods, it would be. I moved my hand to the door and twisted, almost slipping. The door handle was made of a substance I never really payed any attention to. Some people I believe called it budder, but some others called it gold. I decided to call it budder. It sounded more fun.
The door slowly creaked and flew open a few inches. I walked inside and it was completely dark. I turned to find a switch and then flicked it on. Lights came on and I shut my eyes for a minute. I walked inside and shut the door. I hope he dosen't mind me sleeping on his couch for a night. I layed down on the couch and got situated. Before I knew it, I was deep asleep.
Mitch's P.O.V.
As I listened to their conversation, I looked in front of me to see Deadlox doing the same. All of a sudden, I heard someone behind me suffering. It was Chloe. She was down on the ground, holding her head in her hands, groaing in pain.
"What's wrong?" I asked, getting off the bench and kneeling down behind her.
"I don't know." Z replied. She was the only person who could know. Who could know why this was happening to her.
Chloe just sat there now, waiting to collapse. And it was seconds before she did. I caught her in my arms before she hit the ground and looked to Z in confusion.
"What can we do?" Deadlox asked.
"First, stand her up. Then, we should lay her down." Z immeidantly said. I picked her off the cold ground and then held her up, bridal style.
"Where can I lay her down though?" I asked.
"Stand back." She replied. I walked back a few feet, then saw her wave her hands and a bed appear before my eyes.
"I can do some good things, you know?" She then said, pointing to the bed.
I immediantly layed Chloe on the bed looking at her face. She seemed worried. Her eyes twitched as she lay, asleep in the bed.
"Here." Z said, handing me a pillow and blanket. I layed the blanket over top her and then lifted her head and layed the pillow underneath.
"So... do we just wait?" Deadlox asked.
"I believe so." Z replied.
"What do we do, though?" I asked Z.
"I don't know. Think of what we're going to do afterwards?" She replied.
I could hear a deep breathing until Chloe shot up from her sitting position and gasped for air continuously.
"Are you okay?" I immediantly asked, bending down to reach her hight.
"No. It was awful. Just awful!" She said, taking breaths inbetween.
"What happened?" I asked her.
"I saw it. My realm. Before it was all desrtoyed. But I was...being taken somewhere. By someone who called me their cousin. She took me to where the source of the realm was. She told me the past. The history of the source. She said that there was a girl that was born with a power to control the minds of people. But the power came with a price. The girl saw things and heard things while using her power. When she was older she was killed by some man. Her powers formed into a ball and floated where the man could not reach. It was taken here and the man was killed for what he did. My so call cousin pushed me into it and I saw every painful thing that the girl from the past had seen. Everyone was bright white. It was blinding. I could hear screaming in all directions and pain shot through my every vain. It was awful." She said, crying.
"It's okay. It's all over now." I said, holding her hand while she was panting on the large bed.
"There was one person who wasn't the white color of the rest. I don't know who he was, but I could see him through the crowd of blinding people. He stared at me, yet it was so comforting. Next thing I knew I awake here."
"What does it mean?" Z asked.
"It told me I have powers. But do I still have them?" Chloe asked.
"We don't know." I replied.
"We can only guess, but for now I would stay away from me. Who knows what I could do to you." She said, standing and backing away.
"Don't do this to yourself." I said, worried. Was she going to stay far away from us all for forever?
"I have to. For your safety."
"No you don't. I'm not afraid."
"But I am. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Chloe, I have powers. But I still stay with my friends." Z said.
"Yes, but you can control them. I can't. I don't know when they're going to take over." She pleaded.
"You don't have to stay away forever." I said, stepping toward her.
She backed away and replied, "Maybe not forever, but at least for now."
"STAY BACK!" I yelled, seeing a figure behind her shoot a light as bright as the sun at her. I jumped forward and pushed her away, feeling nothing, but pain afterwards.
Chloe's P.O.V.
"STAY BACK!" Mitch screamed, the jumped forward and pushed me out of the way.
I stood immediantly and saw a bloody figure where I was standing.
"NO!" I yelled, kneeling down beside him. There was a hole in his shirt where his heart would be and flames coming from the woods behind us.
Patience's P.O.V.
I heard screaming from where Mitch, Chloe, Z, and Deadlox were.
"Maybe we should go check that out?" I said through the talking of Jason.
"Yeah..." He replied.
I walked around the corner and saw Chloe laying down and crying on top of someone with Z and Deadlox kneeling down beside her.
"What happened!?" Jason and I said in unison.
Deadlox stood up and walked to us. He then put up one hand, opened his mouth, but never said anyhing. He turned to see Z standing and walking over.
"Go with her for now." Z told Deadlox. He turned and went back to his recent position.
"Chloe fainted and ended up waking moments after to have had a nightmare. A nightmare that told her the past of her realm. She found out that she has powers that make people have pain, so she backed away from us all. Afterward, someone unleashed a ball of fire directly at her, but Mitch pushed her away before she could get hit. He is dying now and we do not know what kind of magic it is, so we can't fix it."
"Oh my! Will he be okay?" I asked, worridly. I was also worried about Chloe and this power, but Mitch was hurt. Bad.
"He should be. If we can get Chloe to let us do anything." She replied.
"At least we have a chance. May I see his wound?" Jason said, looking to Chloe. She must've heard, because she lift herself off of him, then falling to the ground and looking to the sky. What happened to her?
I knelt down to see him breathing hard. But not for long. I knew he wasn't going to be for long because of the large amount of blood along the ground.
"Get me a cloth with some water, then some water by itself." I said, knowing we needed to stop the bleeding.
"Will he be okay?" Chloe asked, apparently already sitting up and watching life play out.
"Should be. We don't know for sure, though." Z told her. Chloe took a deep breath and stood, walked to a bench, and sat down. Z followed, I guess trying to comfort her. They were talking, but I couldn't hear much, so I just continued with my work.
Z's P.O.V.
"He'll be okay." I said, trying my best to make her feel better. Didn't work too good though.
"I just wish there was something I could do about it." She replied. I feel her pain. I know the that feeling. Usually when someone you love is hurt and you can't do a thing about it. That feeling was one of the worst ones.
"I know how you feel. Someone I loved was in danger. But there was nothing I could do about it. I was the one who made it happen. That's actually the reason your here." I responded.
"Ugh," She took a deep breath, "What am I supposed to do now?"
"Wait. And hope for good outcomings."
"That won't help. The longer I wait, the more I yearn to do something."
"Then help. Go sit by him, hold his hand, comfort him. You may not be able to help him physically, but you can help him in other ways. Try it."
"I guess, but I don't want to see him in pain. That's one of my problems."
"Would you rather see him in pain now, or never see him again." She waited a few seconds, then rose and walked to where Mitch was. It worked.
I did the same and watched Patience patch up the large wound. He was breathing, but it was very light. I was worried as well. I did not want him to be in pain, die, or even just leave us. Some of us need his help.
"We should get him back to his house." I told Patience.
"Yes, we should. Though moving him will release more blood. We should wait til it stops." She replied.
"Of course." I said.
I just waited, not knowing what to do. A few moments later Chloe ask, "May I see his hand?"
"Yeah, I guess." Patience replied, backing away. Chloe then took her hand and wrapped it around his, closing her eyes tightly. She took a deep breath and moved her head's position to the sky. I looked to the wound to see none. Had she done something?
She let go, panting just as when she fell last time. I reached to her and caught her before she could fall. I lifted her and walked over to the bed I made earlier. I layed her down and waited for her to wake.
"What was that?" Patience asked, very confused.
"She used those powers. She had to have. This happened earlier, witch is why I know what to do. Just give her a minute." As soon as I said, she flung herself up and was breathing heavily, just as before.
