Chapter 7.
Chase's POV.
I slowly opened my eyes and noticed everything was really bright, making me slam them shut again as I heard a soothing voice whisper in my ear.
"Chase? If you can hear me, squeeze my hand."
That voice only belonged to my girlfriend, but she was under a curse, right? None the less, I squeezed her hand, making her praise me as I opened my eyes once again, the light being slightly more bearable as I looked to see Adam, bees and Selena above my head. I tried to sit up slowly, only for my side to throb and burn, making me let out a ragged cry as I closed my eyes while I felt someone gently push me down and stroke my hair.
"Easy, easy." I heard Selena whisper while I looked back up at her.
"What happened?" I coughed out as I glanced at my brother, who had been on the battlefield with me, hoping for a answer.
"Krane stabbed you with his sword. You almost died, Chase." Adam told me as I saw a few tears brim the edges of his eyes, obviously in sadness.
"Oh, speaking of which, I better go tell Sapphira your awake." Bree smiled as she kissed my forehead before leaving.
I however was confused on this "Sapphira" girl, so I simply asked Adam who she was.
"Your dragon. The mark on your hand should've told you enough."
I looked down at my hand and did indeed see a mark, almost like I was branded or something.
"You saved Sapphira's life, Chase. She was gonna get sold and you cut the net she was in, setting her free." My brother explained.
"Yeah, and she hates me." My girlfriend added as she scoffed just at the mir thought.
Soon enough, Bree came back and I saw a sapphire dragon outside of the window, which Bree opened.
"Chase, I'm so glad you're ok." The dragon told me, making me scream as I sat up, and tried to get away, ignoring the agonizing pain in my side.
"Y-you can talk?!"
"I've always been able to talk, Chase. Please tell me Lady Barbeque didn't make you forget about me."
"Who's that?"
Selena raised her hand sheepishly, and then I noticed that my fairy tale self must've said something about her to Sapphira...or, by the way she's looking at her, a LOT of things. Then Adam once again pushed me back down onto the pillows.
"I have to get back to the stable, but I'm glad your ok, Chase." Sapphira smiled before flying off while I felt Selena stroke my hair.
"You need to get more sleep, Chase." She smiled as she kissed my forehead and squeezed my hand before leaving, with Bree following behind, until it was just Adam and I.
"Hey Adam? Thanks for saving me when Krane struck me down." I smiled.
"Hey, anything for my brother. Now, Selena's right. You need sleep. Goodnight, Chase." Adam smiled as he squeezed my hand before standing up and closing the curtains while blowing out the candle, letting me relax as I closed my eyes and once again, fell asleep on the most comfortable mattress ever.
Selena's POV.
Leo and I were sneaking some snacks out of the kitchen while trying not to get caught by the staff, even though I think Janelle knew as she kept shooting us glances before turning around to continue chopping chicken. Leo and I finally decided we were done, but while I left, Leo stayed behind to flirt with Janelle, and honestly, it fit. Just as I was walking to the throne room, I was stopped by one of the knights, who claimed that he had very important news for the king before keeping me out as he went in, but knowing that the fate of a kingdom was at stake, I eavesdropped through the door.
"What do you mean the witch is back?!"
"I mean we saw her just around the stables where the dragon is. Meaning she could easily use a clocking spell to sneak in to turn us from the inside or to release Krane."
I could practically feel Douglas's demeanor change as he commanded to keep everyone on high alert.
This was not gonna end well...
Review responses!
Darth Becky 726: Yep that's good! Nope, nope and nope. Here is your update!
Duggie Davenport: He's getting there. YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT!
Maddie (guest): Yep!
Rulers Of The Games: No it isn't. Yeah there will be one. :)
Aliqueen16: Thanks! Yep!
So the only people to get the witch right was Duggie Davenport and Dirtkid123, who reviewed on Wattpad, and it was Perry. Seriously guys, go read The Elite Bionic's book where I got this story idea cause it's WAY better.
What is Perry planning? Will the Davenports be able to stop her?
Over and out.
Susz.
