Chapter 36

Rachel

Cassie did it. She found the Rewolf and got us out of this strange world. We were suddenly back in the barn, and we all looked at each other, none of us having a clue as to what to do with it next.

"So, now what do we do?" Marco asked, and we all looked at him. None of us really knew what to do. I was surprised to see Marco with us. Marco was supposed to be at home. That's where he was before the Ellimist came to us. I realized then that time must still frozen. The Ellimist appeared before us. Tobias was still unmoving on the floor. I resisted the urge to run to him and glared at the old man.

"You have succeeded." He said.

"Yeah, with no help from you." I muttered. He looked at me, a grim expression on his face.

"I'm not allowed to interfere. You all know this by now." He said.

"That wasn't interfering?" I asked, and Jake shot me a glare. His look read don't. I shot him a look that said why the hell not?

"What do we do with this now?" Jake asked him. The Ellimist walked over to Cassie, or whatever it was that he did to make himself move.

"May I?" Cassie handed him the Rewolf. He held it in his hands, and the flower wilted before us. I wanted to ask what he just did, and I noticed a warmth flood through and out of me. I realized it was a golden mist and it did it to each of us until it got to Tobias. It stayed in him, but did nothing. I didn't know if it was because the Ellimist had stopped time or if it was because the so called cure didn't work. He smiled at each of us and was gone, Marco with him.

I ran over to Tobias, not caring that Ax, Cassie, and Jake were watching. I knelt in the hay beside him and put my hand to his forehead. He was still running a fever, but his color was starting to return. He didn't look quite so pale. I brushed some hair off his face that had fallen onto his brow. I felt Tobias stir slightly and I gasped and looked into his eyes, hoping for him to wake up.
