A/N: Hey, there everybody! It's me, MBAV fan66!
So, last chapter we found out that Ethan was poisoned by some kind of deadly bee that was created by dark magic and was conjured up by none other than the evil witch herself, Alissa. And apparently the only way to cure him is that of a unicorn's purifying magic ability. Great. Just great. *note the sarcasm there and the eye roll* :P
Let's just hope that Sarah get's lucky and is able to stumble upon one in time. Maybe someone should send one of those demise bees at Alissa and have it sting her, instead. That way she can be stuck with a deadly poison that will kill her within hours and the only known cure is nearly next to impossible to find, nowadays. Lol! But sadly, we can't. *sigh* Because she is still possessing that innocent young Earth priestess girl's body, which means that she'll end up dying instead, since Alissa is only an evil spirit. *sigh* ;P
Anyways, on to some shout outs before our story continues! :D

"Ethan!" shouted Benny suddenly, springing awake with a jolt as he sat up heaving heavily and heart racing frantically within his chest.
He quickly glanced around the room to see that he was still locked away in his prison of a room courtesy of one wicked witch. He let a small sigh of relief.
"It was just a dream. It was only a dream." he chanted to himself, happy that was all it was. But something else still bothered him. Like a sense that something was terribly wrong.
"But..." he trailed off in thought, looking over towards the window as the bright moon shone through. He felt a chill run through him then, as he brought the blanket more closer to him. "Why did it feel so...real, as if it really did happen?" he wondered.
Just then he heard a sickening gleeful knock come from the door.
"Knock! Knock! Is anybody awake?" chirped Alissa in a teasing like cheerful way, as she entered the room.
"No! Now go away!" answered Benny, snapping back hatefully as he plopped back down in his bed and covered his head with his blanket.
Alissa stood there with a fake frown on her face. "Well, that's not very nice." she pouted, but then grinned when Benny chose to ignore her. "Well, it's obvious to me that you're still awake or else you wouldn't of answered me so quickly, then. So, no use in trying to pretend, Benny dear." she stated smugly.
Benny still chose to ignore her, but rolled his eyes under the covers at her, wishing for her to go away so he can try to go back to sleep.
"Fine. Be that way." replied Alissa flatly, not too amused at the spell master's reaction. She then grinned wickedly at what she had to say next, knowing that it would get the stubborn spell master's attention. "Then I guess you won't be able to hear the news I have about your beloved boyfriend for yah, then. Huh?" she taunted, smirking.
Benny immediately sat up at her words, glaring at her. "Like what?" he demanded bitterly in suspicion.
Alissa shrugged nonchalantly. "Why tell you when I can just...show you, instead." she remaked ominously with a gleam in her eye.
Benny had this look of uncertainty and worry on his face, as Alissa conjured up another one of her holographic balls of magic that acts like a magic mirror or cystal ball in showing what others are currently doing elsewhere.
The spell master gasped at what he saw. Laying there looking rather pale and sickly looking was Ethan, as he twist and turned mumbling incoherent words. He sat there and watched as he saw Erica place what looked to be a wet cloth over his forehead, while his Grandma was busy making some kind of drink or potion for the prince to drink. No doubtly to help with whatever ailment Alissa had inflicted upon him to make him so ill.
"What did you do to him?!" yelled Benny at her angrily.
Alissa giggled and then smirked. "Who? Little ole me?" mocked Alissa, batting her eyelashes innocently at the seething spell master as she made her magic orb disappear. She laughed again before shrugging carelessly at him. "Oh, you know. Nothing much. Just..." she started causually, drawing out the word 'oh' for dramatic effect. "conjuring up a deadly creature called the demise bee and then used it to poison him with." grinned Alissa evilly.
"You did WHAT?!" exclaimed Benny loudly, as his eyes grew wide with fear. "You poisoned my boyfriend?!" he added incredulously. "You BITCH!" he exclaimed angrily at her, now getting up to face her.
But Alissa wasn't phased one bit. Instead she found it amusing to see him so riled up and angry at her. How she just loved torturing the poor and pitiful spell master. Especially, when it comes to his even more pitiful prince of a boyfriend.
She stood there and watched in amusement as the young wizard paced back and forth in worry. "It's fine. It's fine. He's got Erica and Grandma-" rambled Benny frantically until he stopped in mid-sentence. A look of realization then hit him as his eyes lit up with a ray of hope.
"That's it!" he exclaimed to himself proudly and then turned on his heels suddenly to face Alissa, who just stood there with a smirk on her face. "Ha!" he taunted at her. "Gran's there with them! If anybody can figure out a cure to save Ethan, it's her! She's like an...expert when it comes to magic and the supernatural! So, you lose, Alissa!" boasted Benny proudly to the evil witch, as he faked laugh tauntingly afterwards.
"Is that so?" replied Alissa slyly with her grin growing even more wider.
That smile she gave him made him wanna take a cowardice step back as her icy stare sent a chill down his back. He gulped, but decided not to show her any such fear towards the cold woman.
"Yeah! It is so!" commented Benny back bravely at her with his head held high.
"Well, we'll just see how the old hag will deal with this type of poison. Now, shall we? You see, this particular kind of poison isn't so easily cured and is nearly impossible to cure, too. So, I wouldn't be putting all my faith in the old lady just yet." she replied sindely.
"W-what do you mean that it's not so easily cured?" questioned Benny skeptically, kicking himself for the stuttering.
"There's a reason why this particular kind of poison is so deadly to begin with. And that's because it was created from black magic, thus making it practically a curse, really." explained Alissa in a knowingly manner. "Once the poison of the bee enters your bloodstream it doesn't take it long before it begins to work it's...magic if you will."
Seeing the clueless expression on the spell master's face at what she had meant by that last part made Alissa look at him unamusingly before she sighed.
"In other words, in a matter of hours he'll be dead. Duh?! Sheesh!" she further explained in a more simpler way, but as if it was obvious and with an eye roll to go along with it.
Getting it now, Benny looked at her wide eyed and mouth gaped open in shock. This only made Alissa's grin return.
"I'm sure Grandma will find the cure for him in time, anyways. She's really smart and resourceful like that." replied Benny faithfully. "I have faith in her abilities." he added honestly.
"Perhaps." shrugged Alissa nonchalantly, not too bothered whether or not if the old lady is as good as he says she is. "But the only cure to the demise bee venom is that of a unicorn's magic. A creature so rare that it's thought to be extinct amongst most, when in truth they no longer live in our world anymore, but instead in one that they solely created for themselves in hopes of saving their speices from extinction. Intelligent creatures they are, really. Far more intelligent than their more lower relative, the horse." she stated simply.
"A unicorn? How is something so girlie suppose to be the cure to a deadly poison?" wondered Benny curiously.
"Unicorns are beings of purity. In fact, they're the very symbol of it as their horns possess very strong purifying properties. One of the strongest sources of white magic there is. So, it's only natural that something so pure and powerful is capable of curing something so dark and sinister from one's body or even an object." explained Alissa.
"If that's the case, then why can't Grandma just use a purifying spell on him, then?" asked Benny.
Alissa rolled her eyes at him, as if it was obvious. "Because the demise bee is a dark creature created from powerful black magic. The strongest if you will. So, that means it'll take a strong source of white magic to break it. Like that from a creature of light with just as much power. Such as that of a unicorn."
Benny's face blanched hearing that. So, Ethan's only chance of survival is that of a mythical horse known for it's purity, but is near impossible to find, nowadays? The spell master's heart dropped with fear.
"What if they can't find one in time or at all for that matter? Then poor Ethan will..." thought Benny dreadfully, not being able to bare to think about the consequence of what will happen if they fail.
"Face it, spell dork! The odds of them finding one in time is slim to none. Your little boyfriend is doomed!" mocked Alissa wickedly, as she laughed while walking to the door.
"Nighty-niiight! Sleep tiiight!" she taunted, as she stood there in the doorway. She then glanced back over her should just before exiting, casting a teasing like glare and smirk at him. "If you can that is." she said darkly, before breaking out into an evil laugh as she finally left the room.
Furious, Benny snatched his pillow off his bed and threw it across the room at the door. If he couldn't use magic to blast the dumb thing then throwing a pillow at it was the next best thing. He then sighed once he had gotten all his frustration out and walked over to pick up the small pillow. Once retrieved he then went back over to his bed and plopped down on it on his back, holding the pillow close to his chest as he just laid there in thought.
"So, I guess that dream wasn't just a dream after all." he mumbled to himself sadly.
"This all totally sucks!" stated Benny out loud in frustration. "I just hope they're able to find a unicorn and convince it to help them in time." he said sullenly with a sigh. "My poor prince charming. How I wish I can be there right now to tend to you, while you lay there sick and possibly dying, all thanks to Alissa and her stupid need for revenge." he added, with a bitter tone at the end.
He knew that he wasn't going to be getting any sleep anytime soon as long as he knew how deathly ill Ethan was. There was just too many worries on his restless mind at the moment, thanks to Alissa's little update on the others progress to her castle.
Sarah had been zipping and zooming everywhere in search of the rare and illusive creature for about 2 hours now and still she had found nothing. She was beginning to get worried that she may never find a unicorn in time to save Ethan's life. Time was running out. No telling how much more longer Ethan would be alive for before the poison finally drains the last bit of life he has in him left.
She needed to hurry, but at the moment she felt exhausted from all the running she did. So, she stopped for a quick 5 minute break to catch her breath because let's face it...even vampires get a little winded at times, too. Especially, when they've been running at full speed for approximately 2 hours straight.
She leaned her back up against a tree panting tiredly as she tried to catch her breath. There was a lovely meadow just up ahead not too far from where she rested.
"Stupid...Alissa!" she huffed in between words, exhaustingly. "There just...has to be...a...unicorn around here...somewhere?" panted Sarah, as she bent over and placed her hands on her knees.
A couple of minutes later she had finally regain most of her energy back. Enough to continue on with the search, as she stood back up again.
"I need to hurry or else Ethan might not make it through the night." said Sarah, trying to motivate herself to keep going. But she started to feel a bit hopeless knowing her odds of ever finding a unicorn and if she did, trying to convince it to help her with her being a creature of darkness, herself. Things were starting to look bleak, but Sarah still refused to give up. No matter what, she was going to find a unicorn and convince it to help her in curing Ethan.
Right when she was about to take off again, something miraculous happen. It was as if the heavens themselves had sensed her determination and willingness to never give up on her friend because at that very moment when the clouds over head parted and the bright white light of the moon shone down from above onto the peaceful little meadow, there stood a gorgeous white horse with long flowing hair and a beautiful horn on it's head.
"A unicorn." muttered Sarah in awe at the majestic creature grazing in the meadow as it basked in the moonlight. She never imagined a real unicorn to look so beautiful and graceful in real life before.
Shaking her head out of her stupor of how amazing the creature was, Sarah quickly rememered the urgency of her task with the dazzling magical horse. Sucking in a breath, she decided to approach it slowly and calmly in hopes of not scaring it away. Maybe if she showed it that she meant no harm it'll stay and hear her out, even with her being a creature of the night.
She crept slowly and cautiously towards the unicorn as her mind raced with all kinds of thoughts about her ultimately failing and the unicorn taking off on her thus leaving Ethan to his demise in the end.
Once she was close enough the unicorn had reared up on it's hind legs, neighing wildly at her when it notice her presence and the dark energy coming off of her from being a vampire. Sarah quickly took a step back from the riled up creature and held her hands up in surrender to show that she meant no harm to it and that she comes in peace.
"Whoa! Easy there! Easy!" replied Sarah calmly in a soft and gentle tone. "I mean you no harm. I come in peace. Just...hear me out, will yah?" pleaded Sarah honestly to the horse.
It lowered it's front hooves back onto the ground, but was stomping one of them to the ground as it bobbed and shook it's head furiously at her, neighing loudly at her still. After a moment or two, it soon stopped as it stood there staring her in the eye with it's mesmerizing gaze. It was as if it was staring right into her very soul trying to get a read on her more clearly.
Mintues later, the unicorn's gaze soften a bit, as it nodded it's head up and down as if telling her to go ahead and speak now. Getting the message, Sarah began to plead her case to the creature of purity.
"It's my friend...Ethan." she began, looking down slightly in a sad way. "He's sick. Like really sick and he needs your help." she explained, pausing for a brief moment. "You see...me, him, and a few other friends are on our way to save another one of my friends named, Benny, from this evil witch who kidnapped him just to get back at Ethan."
"She's tried to stop us along the way a bunch of times before, but every time we manage to come out on top. But now..." explained Sarah, trailing off in silence before finally looking back up at the creature that stood before her, with earnest watery eyes. "He's really sick and it's all thanks to that wicked witch, Alissa for making this...deadly bee thing created from dark magic and sending it after Ethan! It manage to sting him while we were busy talking to each other and thus poisoned him with it's highly toxic vemon! And now he might die if we can't get him the cure in time! And the only known cure is that of unicorn's ability to purify things with their magic!" rambled Sarah desparately, trying to hold back her tears of desperation and grief.
"So, you see! You're the only one who can help us now! You're our only hope!" begged Sarah desparately, wholeheartedly. "Ethan loves Benny and Benny loves Ethan with all their hearts! I'd do anything for those two, including giving up my life for them if it meant that they'll always have each other. They're my friends and I care for them deeply from the bottom of my undead heart!" she said truthfully and sincerely, as a few tears escaped her dark brown eyes.
"I don't wanna let Benny down..." stated Sarah, looking down with guilt and remorse. She sniffled a bit and tried to wipe her tears away. She stood there looking down for a second longer before snapping her head upwards again to look the unicorn in the eye with determination and resolve. "Those two belong together as a couple! Losing Ethan would absolutely CRUSH poor Benny's heart and I for one won't let that happen!" she declared bravely, meaning her words.
"So...will you help me? Will you come with me to heal my sick friend?" she asked with hope and sincerity in her voice. "I know you probably don't trust me seeing as I'm a vampire and vampires are beings of darkness, but...surely you can see that I'm not like most vampires. I'm not evil like them and I never chose to become one either. In fact...I hate what I am, honestly." pleaded Sarah, glancing back down again in guilt.
The unicorn stood there just staring at her, as if mulling over what she had said. It was true. Sarah wasn't like most vampires and the unicorn saw that when it gazed deeply into her heart. It saw nothing but goodness and light inside her. A very rare thing to see in a vampire's dark and twisted soul. It can tell she was telling the truth and just how much her friends mean to her, too. It was clear that she was a very unique individual who cared a lot about the ones she loves. There was no darkness nor evil that resided inside in this young vampire's heart, only love and kindess.
Acknowledging her plea, the unicorn decided to help her. It bowed down to her (the way that horses can) and lowered it's head as if curtsying how delighted it would be to help her out.
Getting the message, Sarah was thrilled to hear the unicorn's answer. "Really?! Oh, thank you! Thank you!" thanked Sarah gratefully, as she ran up to it and gave it a hug. She couldn't help the tears that fell from all the joy and happiness that she felt inside from the majestic creature's reply.
"We better hurry! I'm not sure how much time Ethan has left!" stated Sarah urgently, but then when she was about to take off using her vampire speed something occurred to her.
"Oh, wait! You probably won't be able to keep up if I use my vampire speed to get back to the others. Huh?" she said thoughtfully, getting slightly disappointed in herself.
But the unicorn had another idea. It walked past her a bit, but then stopped with it's back turned towards her. It then looked back at her and bobbed it's head up and down as if trying to tell her something.
Sarah just stood there looking at it with a confused expression before maybe understanding what the horse was trying to tell her.
"You...want me to get on your back? Is that it?" she asked slowly in an uncertain way.
The unicorn nodded again as if saying 'yes'.
"Ok, then...If you say so." replied Sarah hesitantly, unsure of what the unicorn was thinking about.
She climbed up onto it's back, feeling a bit unsteady at first. She's never ridden a horse before let a lone bareback on one, at that. So, of course she was a bit nervous about it.
Once on, she had no idea what to do next.
"Ok? So, now what?" she asked cluelessly.
The unicorn then stomped it's left front hoof a couple of times before neighing and rearing up on it's hindlegs in the moonlight, taking Sarah by surprise from it's sudden action. To keep from falling off (and on instinct) she grabbed hold of it's beautiful white hair, as it blew in the wind, and held on tight as the unicorn took off into the forest at full speed once it's hooves made contact with the ground again.
Sarah tightly held her eyes shut as the majestic horse like creature ran through the trees, gracefully down the path. After a minute or two she finally decided to open them. She was amazed by just how fast they were going.
"Gee! I was wrong. Maybe you could've kept up, after all." replied Sarah in awe.
The unicorn only neighed delightfully, as if laughing at her comment. "I think you just wanted to show off your speed to me. That's why you wanted me to ride on your back, isn't it?" smirked Sarah amusingly at the creature.
The unicorn barely glanced back at her for a second before refocusing it's attention back in front of it. It neighed again, but more loudly this time as if chuckling a 'yup' to her.
Sarah held on tight as she enjoyed feeling the breeze hit her face as they moved swiftly along the trail. She's always felt the wind in her face like this before when she ran herself at full speed, but this was different. This time it had felt more...relaxing and calming then when she ever ran this fast. Maybe because this time she was riding on the back of a unicorn instead of using her own two feet to do all the work. Feeling the wind through her hair had felt exhilarating!
"Erica is going to be SO jealous once she sees this!" thought Sarah smugly, grinning.
Thinking that then reminded her of Ethan and just how important it was that they make it there in time. She could only pray that they do and that they weren't too late.
"We're on our way, now. Hang on for just a little bit longer, Ethan. We're coming." she stated determinedly with a focused and determined expression on her face, as the unicorn galloped at top speed further into the moonlit forest.
A/N: Looks like Sarah done found the only known cure to the demise bee's venom! Hooray! But will she make it back in time to save Ethan?
So, who's all jealous of Sarah getting to ride a unicorn? Lol! :P
Alissa just needs to go on with her evil self and leave poor Benny alone! Huh? Always just barging into his room (unwelcomed I might add ;P) just to taunt him with her latest evil plot to keep the gang from reaching her place. I mean, can't a spell master get a little beauty rest at night so he can look his best when his prince charming comes to rescue him?! Sheesh! Lol! :P
Anyways, that's it for this chapter. I'll be seeing you in the next! Until then, I bid thee adieu. Bye! :D
