The Memory of A Girl

Chapter 36

Lying down in the nearest room he could get her to, Tyler stayed with Mallory as he tried to find a way to bandage up her injured side. When Merdelia found them, she took her first strike out on Mallory, shockingly. Mallory tried her best to keep calm but each time she moved, the pain got worse. She was losing a large amount of blood on her right side and Tyler had no idea what to do except keeping her safe and away from whatever those things are outside. "Okay, Mallory, just stay calm. Just stay calm." Tyler said as he paced.

Mallory nearly growled from the pain, holding her side with her now bloody hand. "Dude, telling me to be calm is only going to make it worse!" she snapped, Tyler stopped pacing and looked at her.

"Hey, I'm trying to help you out." he protested.

"Oh yeah, acting like a wimp instead of helping someone who's bleeding to death is very helpful."

"I'm not acting like a wimp." Tyler told her. "I just...don't know what to do right now.."

Mallory groaned. The feeling of wanting to snap back at him was very hard to keep down.

"Mallory, I really don't think this is the time for arguing."

"You're right and I'm sorry. Just hurry up and find something to cover this up!" she ordered.

Quickly, Tyler found a sheet cover and ripped up a strip. He tied it around Mallory's waist to hold some of the blood up, though it wasn't working as good as they both hoped. "It's no use." Tyler quit. "We need Blaire. She would know what to do."

Mallory winced as more pain took over her body. "No, I'm sure we can do this by ourselves." she said. "I know one spell that might work."

She removed the strip from her waist and let the blood soaked thing fall to the floor as she rested her bare hands on the cut. Seconds later, her hands began glowing. When it stopped, the cut was no more better. Tyler sighed. "It didn't work.." he said.

"It did," Mallory told him. "I just need one last thing." she began blushing. Tyler looked at her confusingly, not knowing what she meant until she leaned up and pressed her lips against his.

Quickly, the wound began healing. Mallory used an truly old spell that her mother taught her. The incantation was passed from all generations of Zere, but still only few wise people still know of it. The only ingredients for the spell was, a fairy's magic, and another's love. So with all the fighting the two used to do may have actually saved a life.

Slowly backing away, Mallory noticed that her side was no longer bleeding nor hurting, and even the blood on her clothes vanished. She locked eyes with Tyler and said, "Just..don't tell Jayden.." she said before wobbling to her feet and energetically running out the door, leaving Tyler confused with her request.

"Mallory wait! What are you saying?" He shouted at her, even though she didn't come back.

...

Outside, Blaire, Chris, Derek and Damon were just arriving at the scene. Black, lifeless looking things were attacking them and their friends didn't seem to be winning. There was too many of them. "Guys!" Emma called out before blasting some of her power at them, currently knocking them to the ground.

She flew over to them in her enchantix form. "Emma what's going on?" Derek asked her.

"Merdelia and some other person are here. They've been controlling these things and we're trying our best to hold them off.." she said, very quickly.

"Another person? Who are you talking about?" Blaire asked.

"She had a black hood on, but with large turquoise eyes." Karen replied, following right behind Emma. "And she came here rambling spells from some book."

"This is very strange.." Damon murmured.

"Guys!" Mallory called out. Her regained strength allowed her to swiftly return to her friends.

"Mallory, I thought you were with Tyler?" Karen said as she grabbed a hold of her friend's shoulder.

"I uh, did a healing spell and I felt better." Mallory blushed again.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a clash and a body went flying to the ground. "Crap!" screeched Michael.

"Michael!" they heard Melissa shout. Running over to the scene, Michael had a strange marking on his neck. It soon began to grow bigger, consuming his skin to a black color. "They're contagious...seriously.." Derek sighed roughly.

"Guys, I need help over here!" called out Jayden, noticing he was surrounded by groups of shadows.

"You guys go." said Blaire. "I'll see if I can help Michael."

Changing into her enchantix, Chris followed her friends in what seemed like a long last war.

...

Running through the halls, with his sword in hand, Tyler tried to find his way out of the huge castle. But kept his defence up just in case. The moment he was only about to put his guard down, he heard voices coming from one of the rooms.

Steadily walking up to a door he found that the place was a library. "So tell me again why were taking spell books from Zere?" he heard an almost familiar redhead's voice say.

There was a sigh. "Sister, do you really don't understand or are you really that dumb?" the other snapped. "The spells in the Book of Life are from centuries ago. We need spells that would be more useful of our time."

"But the shadow army should be enough already. I mean, we already have those stupid heroes and fairies struggling."

"And they will continue to struggle until I find a stronger spell that would kill them.."

Tyler knew he had heard enough. And from what he saw in some of his favorite horror movies, the person eavesdropping would always get caught by the bad guy. Unfortunately, his thoughts were right. A black thing made his way towards him, slithering around him. Then he felt a pain. He was being held tightly and suddenly his face became one with the wall, making him grunt a little too loudly.

Then there were footsteps and a few giggles. "Well, look at what we got here." he heard though he couldn't turn his head.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Sorry for the long wait. Hope you enjoyed it.
