Chapter13

"You like being an Angel? Well, we can figure something out."

We walked into a small hut. When I say small, I mean small. We were all bunched together and squished. Everything was one room; The kitchen was the living room which was the bedroom and grossly enough also the bathroom. (I was going to use the woods.) Shelby and Guppy surprisingly fit but they were in turtle position and complaining about getting cramps in there legs and necks.
"Gordon did you bring us to the right place?" Shelby complained "I don't remember it being so small."
"Ya," Guppy chimed in "This place also smells like Shelby's feet."
"Those are my feet." Shelby answered in disgust "and besides what about your feet? They are worse than mine!"
"Oh sure, whatever you say, you seem to know everything!"
"How dare you! Your always the know it all facts person!"
"At least when I give information people want to hear it!"
"No they dont!"
"Stop!" I yelled.
"She/He started it!" They both claimed childishly.
"I don't care who started it just shut up this instint!" I commanded.
"That's enough." Gordon said giving me a look of disappointment "As a member of the Red Geneology line you should remember never to loose your temper." He looked and Shelby and Guppy who were rolling thier eyes. "This isn't permenant." Gordon explained "but look at Aubrey, did you forget how ill she is?"
Our eyes turned towards Aubreys shivering body (which I had set on the bed) and looked ashemed "Sorry," we all mumbled.
Gordon gave a sigh and then a triumph grunt and then we saw the medicene man.
My eyes went wide as I saw a man who looked exactly like the man in reversing falls. He turned to me and a white eye brow rose up his wrinkly face "Is there a problem?" He asked with the same croaking voice.
"Uh, you...um..oh...no sir, it's just you remind me of someone I saw." I stuttered out. I looked at Charlie for support and he shrugged his sholders giving me a weird look,how was he supposed to know?
"What's your name?" The medicence man asked pointing a long sharp finger at me, his nail was longer than a shark tooth. I leaned back just a little.
"True Heart." I answered.
He gave an approving nod "Yes, my brother is probably who your thinking of, except as you can see,I'm the jolly one."
He smiled as if to prove his point Charlie closed my mouth for me.
"Please help us."Gordon asked ignoring my dopey face "One of us is unconcious and shivering."
The man looked over at Aubrey "Yes, the girl. Let me see her."
We tried to seprate to form a path way for him to see Aubrey and he did the weirdest things. First he touched his hands to her forhead and brought the head up to his own. He immediatly dropped the head and sighed. Then he picked up her arm and moved it like a gummy worm, which did not look natural. I gave Gordon a look of worry but he was so intent on Aubrey he didn't notice.
Finally after the man finished inspecting her back he looked at Gordon. "Well," He said "She's not dead." We all breathed a sigh of reilef "However she has hypthermia."
"Hypowhatia?" Charlie asked.
"Hypothermia." The man corrected sounding annoied "That's not all though, she's covered in bruises and she need's time to recover, at least three weeks. Oh! and she''ll also need this." He went to his cupboard shoving everyone on his way and pulled out a dark blue potion bottle. He pushed back through so hard I though the bottle would break. He showed to Gordon on a display of his hand.
"What is it?" Gordon asked with hopeful eyes.
"It's a potion that will heal her and help the hypothermia, the rest will just have to heal on it's own." The man answered. "There is a price though."
"And that is?" Gordon quickly replied anxiously.
"A lock of True's hair."
Up until now, I forgot to explain what I look like. Sorry, here picture brown hair that's long past the sholders, and then dark blue eyes that sometimes turn green and finally my figure is very slim and sturdy. "What do you want with my hair?" I asked.
"Dose it matter?" Guppy said "I want to get out of here."
"It's my hair, I should decided. I just want to know the reason." I replied defensivly.
"Okay," The croaked "Fair enough, your hair will be sufficent for one of my new potions. That's all I will say."
I nodded "Okay, where are the sissors?"
The man pulled out old, rusted sissors and handed them to me. I grabbed them and felt they would dissolve in my hands immediatly, I quickly picked up my hair and snipped some from the bottom. I gave it to the man and he gave me the potion.
"Boil it in some broth and feed it to her." He instruted "Now take the girl and get out of here, your cramping up my hut." Gordon nodded and picked up Aubrey who was still unconcious and shivering. "And remember," The old man said "She has to lay down for three weeks, even if she feels like moving or walking, she can't for three weeks."
We all nodded in understandment and Gordon took us back to the hut, which surprisingly hadn't changed at all. "Charlie, why isn't this place ruined?"
"Because," Charlie answered " When it's where abouts are known it automatical changes it's location, nice little trick on my part." He complimented.
"Wow, that is genius." I smiled. "So Nazar will never find us again?"
"Not unless he's as clever as me." Charlie affirmed proudly "Which I doubt."

Bethany woke up on Nazar's bed, at least she pretended too. Right as she changed into the lingerie she laid on the bed waiting her horrible fate, but Nazar was dead asleep. She looked up into the video camera's and saw her daughter escape along with everyone else, she couldn't be more proud of them. She looked in the mirror hopeing for her beautiful self but saw she had been transformed back into a Henith over night. I knew it was to good to be true. She thought.
Now she laid on the bed just as Nazar began to wake up.
He pushed himself up and rubbed his eyes, Bethany mocked the same. He sat up on the bed and looked at Bethany, "No," He said quietly at first "No!"
He stood up and began throwing things everywhere, Bethany sat up and hugged her knee's, frightened but not able to speak. Nazar quickly went to the camera's and saw all the prisioners escape, well except Arthur who looked like he was asleep too.
Nazar put his hand on his forhead and sat back on the bed, what had happened? He remember the cherries tasting funny and walked briskly to the bowl. He cast a tiny spell and saw marks of sleeping powder on the bowl. He smiled wickedly "True," He said to himself "I'm impressed, I guess some of my brains are in you after all." He went back to his room looking at Bethany. He was disappointed, that spell to change her back only lasted one day after it was relased, now it was gone forever.
"Bethany," He commanded "Go make breakfast and make sure the staff is awake."
Bethany nodded and left the room.
Nazar pulled out a mircophone and yelled "Louis! Time to wake up."
He heard scrambling and then nervous Louis answer "Yes sir."
"I have some bad news." Nazar started "I'm afraid True and everyone else has left."
"They escaped?" Clairifed Louis "but how? Even the way out was locked with the best security."
"It seems my little daughter is smarter then I planned." Nazar growled with a touch of pride "She's just playing the game." He confirmed "Now it's our turn, we can't allow Gordon to teach her, He will teach her the wrong way." He was quiet for a moment "Meet me in the room, Now!"
"Yes sir." Louis answered as he turned off the microphone.
"Bethany!" Nazar called "Where's my breakfast?"
Bethany came in with a cup of coffee "I'm sorry, but unfortunately the entire staff was asleep, you'll have to wait for a while for your breakfast."
"So be it." Nazar sighed "Did you enjoy last night?"
"Uh," Bethany stuttered, nothing happened last night. "I'm not sure what you mean."
"Did you enjoy being an Angel again?" Nazar clarified.
Bethany was confused,was he actually trying to be nice? "Yes, it was very interesting." She said.
Nazar smiled and nodded with an evil plan written on his face. "Perfect."
