CHAPTER FOUR- A challenge goes out of control
The day soon ended and Resha returned home with her father, Donovan. Drake was asigned to find Ally a place to stay in the meantime. Ally was beginning to forget all her problems. Her missing sister, her village and her brother.
Ally kept seeing Trey pass by her and Drake for the rest of the evening. Trey's eyes were turning red due to so much crying, but she didn't kno that of course. She kept nudging Drake eveytime Trey passed them and Drake's reaction was always the same. "So?"
"So, he keeps passing by like and annoying fly," said Ally, "Who is he?"
Drake let out a sigh and said, "That's Trey Daniels, he's been very sad anangry at people lately. He snaps at them for no apparent reason and the only person he talks to nicely is his sister, Ember,"
"But there must be some reason he's sad isn't it? You can't just walking around all sad and snapping at people," said Ally, "Let's go talk to him, shall we?"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Drake trying to stop Ally.
Too late, Ally was already on her way. Trey burried his face into his hands while sitting on a log. Ally tapped his shoulder. No answer. She tapped a second time. There was no reaction coming from this boy at all.
She examined him. His hair was completely blocking the rest of his face which weren't buried into his hands. But he was indeed sweating. Drake soon came along and begged Ally to go away, but hse refused to go until she gets a chance to talk to Trey.
"Hello?" she said knocking on his shoulder.
Trey looked up and saw Ally smilling at him.
"Go away!" he snapped.
Ally jerked a little but still insisted on bugging him until they had a proper conversation.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying! Let me break down the words for you," Trey snapped, "G-O A-W-A-Y! GO AWAY!"
"Don'thave to be rude! I'm just trying to be friends," said Ally.
"Typical," said Trey, "Very typical for a 12 year-old,"
"What's so typical, huh!" Ally complained.
Trey stood up this time and looked at Ally with anger in his green eyes. Ally didn't feel one bit afraid. Drake knew what was coming and went in front of Ally.
"Trey, there's not need to use your powers," said Drake.
Trey tossed Drake aside, leaving Ally stranded and ready to become lunch for the dogs. Drake was yelling his lungs out not to harm Ally for any reason. But that didn't work.
"But, Drake. Didn't she say she wanted to be friends?" said Trey, "Then let's be friends, my way,"
He threw and electric ball at her and injured her right leg. Ally fell to the ground in pain. Her face turning pale. She got up and she felt power in her. Something inside of her was rebelling to come out. She blasted a fireball at Trey who immediately thrown into the air and landed a great impact on the ground.
His head was bleeding slightly. But he couldn't care less, he blasted a few ice balls at her. She melted them with her fireballs. She then threw both fire and ice at Trey. He didn't have time to dodge it and was injured badly on his right arm.
"Ouch! Watch it! I know I'm challenging you, but you don't have to kill me!" said Trey.
But Ally couldn't control herself. Her body was in control of her and she kept on blasting fireballs and iceballs at Trey. Injuring his right arm somemore. Drake used all the energy he had and conjured a charm that would tie Ally up with an invisible rope. She struggled and returned to her normal self.
"Ally! Wake up!" said Drake.
"Why're you caring to her for! I'm the one who needs help, idiot!" Trey yelled in pain at Drake.
Drake left to get Lisa, his sister-in-law and also the healer of Thyme. Ally was awake and saw the conditon that Trey was in and rushed to him. She was in shock and didn't have any memory of anything that wen ton during that challenge. She doesn't even remember the pain that inflicted in her right leg, it seemed to had vanished.
Her powers wer even too powerful for her to control. This was the power of Matilda. The great protecter of Thyme. Lisa came with a basket of bandages and towels and some healing herbs and some hot water.
"I am so sorry, Trey! I swear it wasn't me!" said Ally.
"Get lost, human! You've done enough trouble! I nearly died thanks to you!" Trey yelled somemore.
"Crisis! What has happened here, Drake?" she asked.
Drake told her about how Trey challenged Ally and how Trey ended up hurt by Ally's fire and iceballs. Lisa listened while doing her healing charms and bandaged Trey's arm and head.
They were then brought into Lisa's home (also known as Donovan's home) and were given beds to sleep on. She wanted all of them to be spending the night there to ensure they're healed properly.
Drake and Trey slept peacefully, while Ally felt uncomfortable and guilty for what she had done to Trey. She questioned how she has absolutely no control over her pwers and how she couldn't remember a signle thing that happened.
