Chapter Eighteen
April looked Blàthnat in the eye. "What do you mean they'll die? The magick I had couldn't have been that powerful." April watched as Blàthnat's eyes changed to hold emotion within them that April didn't even want to begin to understand. "I have to go back in there and get them out." April said and turned to leave the room.
Blàthnat grabbed April's hand. "No you can't do that. The magick in there isn't like anything you've ever fought before, it's like a bitbeast. Think of it that way. When it's released by someone that understands it and can control it, it is gentle and doesn't fight, because it knows what's going to happen to it, because it's old enough to know what to do. The magick you released is like a new bitbeast, one that hasn't been trained and if it has, it's trainer was weak. The magick is confused, all it knows is that you released it and caused it to be confused. It will attack you if you let it."
April stared at Blàthnat. "Then what am I supposed to do? I can't just leave them in there to die. I have to get them out of there." April watched as Blàthnat looked away unhappily. "Why won't you look at me. How am I supposed to get them out? Tell me!" April grabbed Blàthnat this time and pulled her around to look at her. "TELL ME!"
Blàthnat looked away sadly and then her voice filled the room, with the same words that April hadn't wanted to hear. "I don't know how we're going to get them out."
"Why don't you go in there and get them out?" April asked. "You're not the one that summoned it, it doesn't have anything against you."
"Actually, it does. I'm the one that broke the ceremony, it hates me right now just as much as it hates you. It knows that you have ties with the people in there, it's not going to let them get out unless we can counteract it somehow but I don't know how." Blàthnat said sadly. "I'm sorry I have to make you do this, but they're going to die and then the magick will die with them, there's no other way to stop the magick and it had to be stopped."
"What do you mean it had to be stopped?" April demanded, tears beginning to form in her eyes. "What was I doing in there that was so bad that it was worth the lives of those people? And I thought that you said that we had a minute? I thought you said we had time to do something before the magick leaked? I thought you said that we had a chance? Why are you so discouraged all of a sudden?"
Blàthnat shook her head. "I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do, you're going to just have to move on, we can't do anything anymore." With those words the clock began to strike, counting the twelve seconds to midnight.
"You may not be able to do anything but I can and I will." April said and fled from the room, running towards the door that led to that room she had just been taken from, hoping that there was indeed something that she could do, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
Tala banged against an invisible wall in the door. "What in the hell?" He asked as he banged on the barrier that was keeping him from April. "LET ME OUT!" Tala demanded, not caring if the people behind him laughed at him, or called him stupid. He didn't care what happened at all as long as he could get to April, to help her, to save her, to hold her, to tell her that everything was alright, like he should have done so soon ago, when he had a choice. He shouldn't have let her go, he shouldn't have left her, he shouldn't have stopped holding her until they finally made it to the house and even then he shouldn't have let her go.
So why in the hell had he? Why in the hell hadn't he kept her? Why? Why? WHY?
Kai put a hand on his shoulder again, trying to comfort Tala but Tala shrugged the hand off, he didn't want any comfort, he wanted April! He wanted her, he needed her...
Tala turned to the unnamed woman. "What in the hell is happening? Why are we stuck here? I thought you said that nothing was going to happen to us or April. Well guess what, I take this as something happening to us. If you don't get us out of her and to April in the next minute, I'm going to go over there and kill you myself."
The woman smiled slightly. "You can't do anything to me. This magick will do it. If April doesn't let it kill her, then the magick will kill us. Either way, someone's going to die and there's nothing you can do about it. There's nothing any of us can do about it." The woman sank to the ground. "Not even I expected this to happen."
Tala was sick and tired of this woman's voice already. "Well, if we all have to die, I just hope that I don't end up in the same place as you. I'd rather go to hell then get stuck in eternal paradise with you."
"Oh, I won't end up in paradise, there's no way I can do that, not after this, not after I brought you all in here and got you all killed. If there is a god, he won't let me, I wouldn't let myself."
Tala sighed and banged his head against the wall. He wouldn't be able to see April again, he won't be able to touch her, to hold her, to tell her that he loved her ever again. Tala punched his fist through the wall and began to shake, trying to keep the tears from forming and running down his cheek.
The thought that he would never see April again, continued to run through his mind.
April looked at the door and could see a fuzzy barrier across it, that was obviously the magick. April sucked in her breath and walked towards it...
