Chapter 8: Death Arrives
"It won't work, Bianca. I fell this darkness sucking me in… it might get you too. Be brave, Bianca. Be a heroine…for me. And remember me…" his voice was cut short as the darkness sapped the last of his life from him.
Bianca nudged his cold shoulder. Nothing else moved. Sobbing, she fell, losing her will to live, her energy also being sapped.
Nina continued fighting, unaware of anything that was happening.
King Skarl and Lord Kass moved away from the battle, watching how everything was going.
Lord Kass smiled. The dark faerie had done her work well. The only other things she could really do were turn into a purple cloud and tell the future.
Finally, Nina, Nona and the dark faerie came face to face. Nina was on one side, and Nona and the faerie on the other.
(The cowboy theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly plays)
Nina launched a spring-loaded hand at the Faerie. She bounced it back with a Shadow Shield. It clanged back to her wrist in agony, although Nina refused to show it.
The faerie threw its power with all its might into Nina, the darkness now sucking her in. "What the HELL? I only wanted her unconscious!"
"And I could know that HOW?" the Faerie said.
Nona rushed to Nina, at a loss for words.
Nona: Nina! Twin! Fight this darkness!
Nina: Haven't you figgered it out already? Get Bianca if you want to save me…and you're still not getting my cell phone. She smiled weakly.
Nona scurried to Bianca as fast as her feet would carry her. "Rabbit! My sister is in danger! Only you can help her! GO!" she screamed.
Bianca held the hand as she ran, looking back at Hunter. If only I had been more faithful.
