Chapter 12
Frus' POV
I felt something we hit my face, and I began to wake up. I could hear snatches of conversation between Ygrene and some woman, but nothing else. Then, my vision started to return, slowly but surely, and I could see that it was Ivy's great great grandmother. I also decided to take a look at what it was that had landed on me. I brushed my hand along my face and saw that it was red. I heard my father ask if I was okay, but I ignored him, as I was frantically looking around. I saw that Ivy wasn't there, and tears began to well in my eyes as I put two and two together.
"Did I-" I began, but Saga cut me off.
"No. It was Otto. He said that we have to catch him to save her," he said.
"Then, she's sill alive?" I asked, hope evident in my voice.
"Yes. For now at least," said Saga.
"Then what are we waiting around for!" I said, shakily getting to my feet. Everyone looked over at me, but their looks turned into staring. "What is it?" I asked. I looked down and saw that the amulet was on me. But that wasn't the weird part. The amulet was over my heart, and from underneath it, spreading out along my veins, was golden light. Suddenly, I began to feel much stronger. And there was only one thing I wanted to do with that strength. I ran off at a speed that almost caused me to lift off from the ground and fly. Following the now strong scent of blood, I gave chase. I would find Ivy. The others could do nothing but follow.
Normal POV
Soon, Frus reached a door. But this one was different than the others. I looked like a pulsing wound in the air. Frus started to take a closer look, and suddenly it burst open, revealing a dark, infected looking portal. By this time, the others had caught up. Frus looked around, and it was clear that everyone agreed with him. No matter what, they had to save Ivy.
