Sawyer woke up in the small room; the wall that had once been slid to one side was now back in place. There was no way out and Sawyer began to panic. A small hole in the wall allowed him to relax a little in the fact that he would at least get air in to the small room. Sawyer looked over to the stand. The spell book was gone, as was Mr. Thwait.
'God Damn it!'
'Sawyer?' Sawyer looked through the hole, it was Mina.
'Can you help?'
'I'll be right there.' Suddenly bats appeared, taking Mina's place. They flew through the small whole and Mina materialized in front of Sawyer. 'Are you hurt?' She looked around in curiosity. Sawyer then explained the situation. Mina left and several minutes later the walls began shaking. Bits of sand and rubble fell from cracks in the walls. There was a bang on the wall every few seconds and eventually it slid to one side as it did before. Hyde was standing in the doorway, taking up most of the space. Nemo and Mina stood behind him. 'Come on,' said Hyde and the four of them ran to catch up with Thwait.
Skinner and Helen were searching the upper floors of the Temple. Helen looked out of a hole in the wall and saw Mr. Thwait running in the distance. She could just make out an old book being held to his side.
'Skinner look!' shouted Helen, her wings sprouted, ripping her coat. 'I'll get him, you find the others and catch up.'
'Hang on, what's goin' on?'
'He's got the other spell book.' Helen shouted back as she flew after the running Thwait.
Helen landed in front of Thwait, stopping him. But he actually looked happy to see her there. Helen was confused, he had no chance against her.
'You think you've beat me haven't you?' laughed Thwait.
'I do in fact Mr. Thwait.' Replied Helen calmly.
'Wrong I'm afraid, twice. I am not Mr. Thwait, he's waiting for the League to arrive and he doesn't know that the League is here already. I am Farling.' He stared at her, smiling, standing perfectly still. He held up the book and pointed at the medallion. 'You see this? All I have to do is put it on and I'll have complete control over you.'
'I think you need to do a spell first.'
'I already have done, while your American friend was sleeping. The most important instructions were on the walls you see?' He took the medallion off the book and held its chain above his head. Time seemed to stop. Any moment now time would start again, he would have control and there was nothing she could do. Time speeded up and a shadow grew in Helen's mind and she heard the manic laughter again but this time it came from Farling too. He placed the medallion around his neck. 'Farewell Miss Hardings.'
'Come on!' shouted Hyde who was ahead of the others. Suddenly Helen appeared from among the trees. 'Are you alright?'
'Yes but Thwait got away and he has the medallion. He has control over the dragon now.'
'I'll get 'im' said Sawyer running ahead followed by Hyde, Nemo and Skinner.
'Come on.' Said Mina softly as she walked in front of Helen. Suddenly she felt as if someone had slashed at her arm with a knife. Blood came up threw her sleeve. She looked back at the hovering Helen, her wings beating and the point of her tail splattered with Mina's blood.
'I did warn you.' Said Helen, who then kicked Mina, knocking her on to the floor. Hyde turned around and turned back when he realized what was happening. Helen saw the running Hyde and she became surrounded by a ghostly shadow. It grew and formed the shape of a dragon. Helen could not be seen among the darkness. The shadow went and a dragon had taken its place. It knocked Hyde to one side with its tail. He got up again and ran at the beast that was three times bigger than he was. The dragon lifted its giant foot and brought them down but Hyde stopped them. However its claws were invisible, the same way Helen's hands were. Hyde avoided the claws as best as he could and he grabbed a hold and with some effort brought the beast on to the ground. The dragon got on to its feet and hit Hyde with its head, sending him flying in to a tree. The dragon spread its enormous wings and flew in to the air and headed for the distant mountains. Mina got up off the ground and looked at the small form of Jekyll lying on the ground. His ripped shirt barley staying draped over his shoulders. He groaned and Mina ran over to him and helped him to his feet.
'Are you alright?' said Mina sounding worried.
'Don't worry about me, we should be more worried about that thing that just threw Hyde to one side. This is bad.' Jekyll looked at Mina's hurt arm. He took a strip of his ripped shirt and wrapped it around her arm like a bandage.
'Thank you.' Said Mina quietly, still in shock.
'We must find the others and warn them. They are in danger.'
Skinner, Nemo and Sawyer stopped in their tracks as they caught a glimpse of the dragon in the distance.
'There it is, that dragon thing Thwait told us about.' Said Sawyer, 'One shot in the right place should bring it down.'
'You just want to impress Mina don't you? Show her you're the leader.' Said Skinner mockingly.
'Wait.' Ordered Nemo, looking at the distant mountains. 'Have you ever thought that may be that is our dear Helen?'
'Helen? But...' Began Sawyer before he suddenly realized it very well could be. It all seemed to be very similar to the markings on the temple's walls. The three of them stared at the mountains. This was indeed bad news.
