Chapter 12: No longer innocent!
Lanny leapt into the air, changing into her beast form. She came down heavily, separating the group. The only thing that was really wrong with this picture was the wide grin spreading across Lanny's not-so-innocent face.
The group transformed into their beast forms, except naiden who sighed instead. Haze charged at her, but at the very last second, lanny was up in the air, while Haze was trying to dislodge his horn from the wall.
"Pitiful, I must say." Lanny teased as she landed.
Nesira bared her claws, while Naiden held her fist clenched, glaring at Lanny. Nickial, in his komodo dragon form did not appear to be controlling his beast form very well. He knocked the two girls, and tried shredding them. Nesira stood in front of Naiden.
"You concentrate on Lanny, Ill try and get him to attack her." Nesira said quickly, before ducking from Nickial.
Naiden nodded as she was picked up by the collar, her eyes meeting amber eyes. Nesira tried to pull free, but Lanny was too strong.
Karunati snickered, "I can't believe it. Lanny's been making herself weaker all the years and you still can't beat her!"
Lanny tossed Naiden aside and jumped to the right as Aya dived towards her. Haze grabbed her from behind, smirking. But Nickial attacked Haze, making him lose his grip, giving Lanny a chance to escape.
Naiden glared at her sister, "Nesira!"
"Sorry, I couldn't get his attention for that long!" Nesira sighed before she was thrusted aside.
Lanny stood there, grinning mischievously. "You guys don't even deserve to be zoanthropes!"
The whole team encircled lanny, except Jen who was struggling to keep Nickial down. They all charged as Naide turned herself upside-down and twisted her legs around, knocking everyone backwards, before they changed to their human form. Lanny put a hand on her hip and smiled at her father. Mariah closed her eyes before running to the others. Naiden hissed as she came near.
"No, no. I wanna help. The bracelets around her wrists they're controlling her! Please…destroy them…she has no control of what she is doing!" Mariah pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes.
Nickial stood up and rubbed his head, "So, what you're saying I"-
Lanny had kneed Nickial in the stomach, and as he fell downwards, she thrust her elbows down into his back. She snickered, and let him fall to his knees, coughing up blood. A ball of amber energy appeared in her hand.
"I will kill you all!" Naiden roared, ready to fire it.
Mariah shook her head, turning into a half-porcupine and sent a pin into energy ball. It imploded, knocking Lanny back, but most of it went to Mariah, blood spraying from the vital organ it had hit.
Suise helped Jen up and looked at Lanny. She was on her knees and looking confused. Lanny's eyes wandered to Mariah's crimson body and in a second she was by her side.
Lanny's eyes widened, "What…What happened?"
She looked to her old friends when she remembered. She had ordered her father's men to send Nickial and Naiden to the duelling quarters, while her, Mariah and Karunati took another route. As soon as she had entered the passage everything went black.
"Father, what did you make me do!" Lanny yelled furiously, tears in her eyes.
"Me? It was all you, my dear. You killed her and even tried to kill they pests too." He grumbled, gritting his teeth.
Lanny bit her lip, catching Naiden's harsh gaze. Naiden thought for a second that Lanny was forced to do it all, but she chose to come here on her own. Lanny looked away, ashamed.
Nickialstood up, and glared at Naiden too. "You even killed your best friend. Now that is what I call pathetic."
Naiden clenched her fist and her eyes turned red. The others gasped. Naiden groaned and hit Nickial on the arm.
"What was that for?!"
"Starting another fight I guess." Naiden mumbled, glaring into the raged red eyes belonging to Lanny.
I know this was weird, but my ideas weren't as fluent as before. Sorry about the wait too, but homeworks catchin up with me and things…
