A/N: Hey, there guys! It's me, MBAV fan66!
Now, we get to see if whether or not if Ethan lives or dies depending if Sarah and the unicorn are able to make it back in time. Who's on the edge of their seat with anticipation, right now?! Eh? ;D
Also, we get to take another peek on what old Alissa is up to now. As well, as see what the ever so dashing and charming Benny Weir is up to, too. Which probably isn't much considering he's being held captive against his will. Lol! But it's still nice to check up on him every once and awhile. Just to see how he's fairing. *shrug* :)
How about we get on with the chapter now, huh?! ;D But first it's shout out time! :D
Shout outs to:
Bethan Forever- Ooooh! :o I gotcha now! ;D Lol! Ok! Thanks! :) I agree! Whoever is in charge down in Hell of making sure that none of the evil souls/spirits that are sent there after they die, should be totally fired for letting Alissa escape! She's just ruining everybody's lives, it seems! Lol! :P *shrugs nonchalantly* Guess we'll found out, now! :D
TiredOfBeingNice- I guess? Maybe after it heals Ethan, first. But you'll have to ask it before it leaves or else you might not never get another chance to. Lol! :P Let's hope so. She's always got a trick up her sleeve. Plus, you know she isn't going to just lie down and let them defeat her so easily. She'll do everything in her power to defeat them. I'm glad that Benny has so much faith in them that they'll come and takedown Alissa for good this time. Stay strong, Benny! You know they got this! *raises a fist in the air in pride and support* Yeah! :D
Bennyweirlover17- I'm glad you loved it so much! Yeah, it was a pretty emotional moment there when Sarah laid her heart on the line like that to the unicorn, begging it to help her save Ethan. Alissa is such a bully. Makes you wonder what her problem is and why she loves torturing Benny so much. But I guess the feeling is mutual because Benny also loves to drive her crazy any chance he gets with his smart-aleck remarks at her. Lol! Touché, Alissa! Lol! :P Man! Maybe I should be renting out unicorn rides to everyone since everybody wants to ride on one! Then I'll be rich! Lol! ;P

As Sarah rode like the wind on the unicorn, back to where the deathly ill prince laid the gang tried their best to keep Ethan alive and his fever down, but nothing was working. With each passing minute he only got more worse. He would sometimes thrash about mumbling incoherent words in his sleep. Evelyn was starting to get very worried at this point if Sarah didn't hurry. Ethan's time was running out.
Right now the young prince was resting after another random thrashing spell. His face was twisted and contorted into a grimace of discomfort. Erica did her best in trying to keep his fever down by dabbing his forehead, cheeks, and neck with a wet piece of cloth as she listen in carefully to his heartbeat. At first, his heartbeat was rapid and fast sounding. Too fast to be considered a normal rate, but then she gasped suddenly when she listened in on it again.
Evelyn and Rory both heard her and looked at her in concern. "What? What is Erica?" asked Evelyn.
"I-It's his heart. It's slowed down." answered Erica in shock, but their was a bit of fear mixed in her words as well.
"Well, that's a good thing! Right?" beamed Rory hopefully, in slight confusion.
Erica shook her head. "Not at the rate it's going now. It's beating much too slow to be considered normal." she replied sadly, knowing that he didn't have much time now before it completely stops beating.
Rory's hopeful smile then fell at the bad news.
"This isn't good. We need to cure him now before it's too late." stated Mrs. Weir worriedly, not sure what else to do when there's nothing else she could do further for the teen.
"I guess Sarah couldn't find one, after all." stated Rory hopelessly. Erica would've hit him for that comment, but deep down she too thought the same thing.
A sad silence had fallen over the little group as they had just about given up hope.
...
Suddenly, their attention was perked up as they heard what sounded to be like hooves galloping along the ground rapidly.
"Could it be?" said Mrs. Weir breathlessly with a bit of hope in her voice at the approaching sound.
The all looked on in the direction they believed the galloping was coming from with anticipation. The sound grew louder and louder, until suddenly...
A white unicorn with long flowing hair came bursting through the trees and brush with Sarah on it's back, riding bareback. It reared up on it's hindlegs with a neigh, as it made it's grand entrance.
Erica, Rory, and Evelyn couldn't believe it! She had manage to find and convince a unicorn to help them! It was unbelievable! They all stood there in shock and awe at the sight.
When the unicorn dropped it's front hooves back onto the ground again, Sarah immediately jumped down from it's back and ran over to the others.
"Sarah! You did it! You found a unicorn!" exclaimed Erica gleefully, as she hugged her best friend in joy. "I'm so jealous of you right now. You got to ride a unicorn and I didn't!" pouted Erica kiddingly, as they broke the hug.
Sarah laughed and shook her head. "I knew you would say that." she said, smiling at her. They shared a small laugh together, before Sarah looked down to look at Ethan and then at Mrs. Weir with a concern look on her face.
"So, how is he? Did I make it back in time?" she asked.
Mrs. Weir nodded giving her a small sympathetic smile. "Barely, my dear. But I'm afraid we don't have much time to waste if we don't hurry and cure him. Erica says his heart rate is starting to slow down considerably." she explained glumly.
Sarah gave a silent nod in response.
"So, did it say it'll help us, then?" asked Rory dumbly with hope in his voice.
Erica rolled her eyes at his stupid question. "Of course, it did, dummy! Or else it wouldn't be here!" she answered for Sarah, instead, rather rudely.
Sarah walked up to the unicorn. "So...do you think you can help him?" she asked softly to the magical creature. She glanced back behind her to look at the dying Ethan with sad eyes, as he laid there trembling with a painful expression on his face. She then turned back to look at the unicorn.
The unicorn nodded at her question, before walking up to Ethan's body. It stared down at him for a minutes, as if assessing him first. It then lowered it's head so that the tip of it's horn was merely a few inches away from his body. Suddenly, the horn began to glow at the end of it in a bright white color.
Ethan's body then began to twist and turn violently again as he moaned out in pain from the unicorn trying to extract the dark magic from his body to cure him. Quickly, Erica and Sarah both rushed over to try and hold the prince still so that they unicorn could work it's magic. It continued to focus it's purifying magic into his body to lift the deadly curse that Alissa has placed on him, out.
"What's happening?" yelled Sarah in fear, as a few tears began to run down her face at the sight of seeing her friend in so much pain and agony as she desperately tried to keep him from flailing about.
There was no answer because no sooner had she said it, Ethan's body suddenly just stopped thrashing about as his head rolled to the side. No longer was Ethan's face twisted and contorted into a painful expression, but instead it held a more peaceful and relaxed one.
As soon as his body went lax, the unicorn lifted it's head as the soft glow from it's horn dimmed to nothing, again. It then took a few steps back.
Sarah and Erica quickly released their grip on Ethan's arms and took a couple of steps back themselves, also. Everyone looked at him with bated breath wondering if the unicorn's magic had worked or not.
"Is he...?" asked Rory worryingly, trailing off his sentence because he was too scared to even ask.
Erica listened in on Ethan's heart again to pick up on a more steadier heartbeat from the sleeping prince. "Well, his heart rate done slowed down to a more normal pace, now." she stated to everyone.
"Is that...a good thing?" asked Rory, turning to look at her in confusion.
Erica just shrugged and turned to Mrs. Weir for the answer.
Evelyn smiled warmly at the vampires and nodded. "It is." she said simply, which brought happy faces to the trio of vampires. "I can't be sure if he'll be completely ok or not, until I fully examine him, but...judging by the more relaxed expression on his face along with a more steadier heartbeat then I'd say the outcome seems to look pretty good for our young prince." she said reassuringly to them, before going over to Ethan to begin her examination of him.
Minutes later, Mrs. Weir turned to them with a smile and gave the "all clear" nod, meaning that he was going to be just fine. Excited and full of cheer, all three of them jumped and cheered in joy that Ethan was going to make it. They all hugged out of sheer joy and happiness.
After the little celebration was over, Sarah walked up to the unicorn and gently stroked it's face.
"Thank you so much for helping us. If it wasn't for you then Ethan would've surely died just then." she said gratefully to the horse, giving it her thanks. The unicorn neighed and shook it's head sideways, as if to say 'you're welcome'. Sarah smiled as tears of happiness fell from her eyes. On impulse, she lunged forward again to give the majestic creature a hug, which it gladly accepted with honor.
After the hug, they said their goodbyes to the unicorn as it majestically walked away further into the forest. It's body then began to shimmer in the moonlight with each step it took until a white light, much like from before, began to radiate from the tip of it's horn. Suddenly, the small little light grew brighter in the blink of an eye and in a burst of white light the unicorn disappeared from sight. Probably returning back to where it came from.
Once the unicorn had finally left, they refocused their attention back to Ethan, again, and his recovery from the deadly toxin of the demise bee. When he woke up 5 minutes later, Ethan was absolutely confused by what was going on. The gang took a minute to explain to Ethan everything that had recently happened to him and about the magical cure being a unicorn.
Ethan was very grateful to Sarah for her brave and heroic deed to find and convince the unicorn to help her. He also thanked Rory, Evelyn, and Erica too for their loyal devotion in staying by his side and tending to him while he was ill. The prince still felt a bit weak and tired though from his ordeal from battling the deadly vemon in his bloodstream to stay alive long enough so that Sarah may return with the cure.
Evelyn then insisted on them staying put for a day or two, until the prince has fully recovered from the poison with enough strength to continue their journey. Ethan (being the proud prince he is) tried to protest against this idea, saying that Benny came first and that he was fine. But of course, when tried to stand he almost toppled back over to the ground again. Luckily, Rory was there to catch him. He slowly lowered Ethan back down to sit on the ground again.
Seeing the old woman's point, Prince Ethan (bashfully blushing) decided that perhaps maybe taking a day or two to rest would be a more better choice, after all. Sharing a laugh together, they did just that.
The loud slam of a door, along with a furious growl, had awoken Benny from his slumber. He jumped up, startled by the disturbance fully awake now. When he looked over in the direction of where it came from he wasn't surprised to learn that it was Alissa who was the one responsible for all the ruckus.
"Man! She seriously has no consideration for other people's rest! Ugh!" he thought crankily.
"Do you mind? I was trying to sleep here until you came noisily bursting into my room, like always!" grumbled Benny lowly in annoyance, as he flopped back down onto his bed and covered his head with his blanket.
Benny's rude comment wasn't helping Alissa's anger issue any, as she furiously used her magic to blast Benny's blanket out from over him with a gust of wind.
"Hey!" exclaimed Benny in surprise. "I was using that!"
But Alissa didn't care. She instead, lifted the spellmaster straight up into the air with her powers, levitating him towards her so that he was right in front of her now. He then suddenly begin to feel a tight pressure around his throat as his airway was being restricted by Alissa magic. He struggled trying to get loose from her hold on him, but it was no use. As longs as she had magic and he didn't, then it was pointless to fight back.
"I've had about enough of you and your meddling friends! Benny!" snarled Alissa bitterly, saying his name with venom and disdain as she glared deeply into his eyes. She grinned satisfyingly as she watched him struggle for air, enjoying seeing the look of fear on his face as he gasped continuously to for air.
She kept him like that for a few minutes longer before finally releasing her magic grip on him before he passed out on her. He fell to the floor with a thud, gasping for air to fill his lungs once again.
"I'm...guessing...they were...successful...in...finding the cure, then?" inquired Benny with a slight bit of cockiness in his voice, as he panted between words. He looked up at her smirking.
Alissa narrowed her eyes at him spitefully with a scowl, which told Benny everything he need to know. He sighed in relief, once he was able to finally catch his breath again, thankful that Ethan was going to be just fine, now. He knew they'd find the cure in time to save his boyfriend's life.
"See, Alissa. I told you they'd save him. And now it looks like the person you so desperately wanted dead is going to survive to see another day so he can come and kick your ass." he said with a sense of satisfaction and victory in his tone, as he got up to stand. "Face it! You're gonna lose!" he spat at her smugly before letting out a triumphant chuckle at her. "You're done for, witch!"
Alissa felt her anger beginning to bubble up inside her again at the spellmaster's words. She would've punished the insulant little brat for his words right then and there, but she knew that he was right. The prince and his friends would be here in only a matter of days to save the pesky and annoying little runt. She had to do something quick! But what...?
She then glanced at over at the cocky teen. A cruel and evil grin suddenly found it's way to her lips, as she thought up a new and even more dastardly plan on what to do next. The look she was giving Benny started to give him the creeps.
"You're friends and the prince have almost reached my castle." she stated calmly, looking at him. "I'll have to prepare a proper welcoming party for their arrival when they get here. Also, I wouldn't be much of a hostess if I didn't give the guest of honor the proper gift he deserves. Now would I?" she said rhetorically in a malevolent way, as she grinned evilly while staring Benny down.
Benny gulped, as he got a bad feeling about this and what exactly Alissa had in mind for his friends and family once they arrived. Even more so when she said "guest of honor" knowing exactly who she had meant.
