Baby Blu - 3/1/3/3
"Neopet Chasers"
Chapter 13: "Rescue in the Wind"
"Mel!" I heard Bri call. Then I heard Mom, Mrs. Clipardy and Ms. Tafashi scream my name, too. Wait, I could understand Ms. Tafashi being there but... what were my mom and Mrs. Clipardy doing there? It didn't really matter. I was going to die anyway.
"Faerie Bell! Come out!" Bri yelled desperately. "Faerie Bell! Forget what Amelia said and save her! Please!"
No. That could be my last request: Don't let any one see you.
Kia was fighting Midnight off.
I could see Mom holding onto Mrs. Clipardy. Ms. Tafashi was hugging her. Bri was still begging for Faerie Bell to appear.
But she wouldn't. Because I told her not to.
But then something happened.
Faerie Bell appeared on the ground and started running to me.
"Oh, no! Faerie Bell was too late! She won't make it!" I heard Bri gasp.
"Amelia!" Faerie Bell yelled. Suddenly, the crystal - or rock, whatever it was - Ms. Tafashi was holding glowed. The energy from it engulfed Faerie Bell.
"Wha...?" Ms. Tafashi breathed.
"Faerie Bell... element change to..." Pale blue wings folded from her back and her hoofs became sharper. "...Air! Wind Funnel!" The wind attack pushed me up enough for her to catch me.
"Faerie Bell..." I said before I passed out.
"Wow... Faerie Bell element changed to Air." Bri said.
Faerie Bell layed my body on the blankets behind the others. "Take care of her, Bri. Right now I have to help Kia."
"Good luck." Bri told the Kau before it took off.
"Air Rush!" Wind surrounded Faerie Bell and she charged at Midnight. "Kia, you alright?"
Kia slowly got up. "Faerie Bell? You... You air changed."
"Yes. You're too weak, Kia. You need to go back to them and let me deal with this Korbat."
Kia had long since reverted to normal. "Thanks, Faerie Bell."
"Kia!" Bri yelled as she saw her Usul walk in bruised up. "You did good, Kia. You need to rest up now."
Kia nodded and noticed that they weren't alone. "Wait a minute. Why is your mom, Amelia's mom, and your teacher here? I thought you didn't want any one but you and Amelia to know about you being Neopet Chasers?"
"I didn't, but somehow they already knew."
"Faerie Bell..." I whispered as my eyes slowly opened. "Where's Faerie Bell! I told her not to... do any of it unless I told her to!"
"Mel!" Bri shouted in glee, but then changed to a angry tone. "But you were falling to your death, Mel! Kia couldn't have saved you!" She turned to watch Faerie Bell fight. "I guess the Light element wasn't strong enough."
"One more question. What in the world are our mothers doing here! You and me agreed not to tell anybody!" I was now standing up, yelling at Bri.
"They already knew somehow, Mel. I wouldn't intentionally tell them!"
"Uh... Guys?" Kia pointed to the fight. Midnight had knocked Faerie Bell down.
"No! Faerie Bell! Neoscan... Baby Blu Energize!"
Faerie Bell looked down at me for a second. "Amelia! You're awake!"
"Yeah, I'm awake. You can beat that Neopet now, Faerie Bell, but when you come back down, I've got something to say to you."
"Wind Funnel!" Midnight was slammed against the concrete and it disappeared back to Neopia.
Faerie flew down and changed back to normal.
"Faerie Bell, good job! But... you shouldv'e just let me fall. I told you before to not show up unless I told you. You disobeyed me. You-"
"Mel!" Bri yelled. "She had to come! I was practically begging her to. You were falling. Everyone here would have missed you."
"She's right." Faerie Bell said. "I couldn't have let you fall. You're my owner. I'll protect you until I can't anymore."
Now my eyes were watering up. As I looked at her, I realized that I had made a mistake.
"Oh, Faerie Bell, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I told you not to fight. I just... I just didn't want you to be destroyed. I didn't want to lose you."
And we hugged. That was a moment we'd cherish forever.
