Learning to Trust
A/N Here's the next chapter. Thanks to those who reviewed.
Leah was making Halloween cookies in the kitchen as Morrick woke up.
"What's going on?
Do I smell cookies?" he said.
Carley laughed at that.
"You can have cookies after we talk." She said as he saw Elisa and David come in.
He was dressed as the Grim Reaper while Elisa was just herself.
"Cool costume David.
I see somebody's in the spooky mood early." She told him.
"Thanks." David answered her.
"What do we have to talk about?" Morrick asked them nervous.
"About why you were in such a bad mood yesterday.
You're not in trouble.
We're just worried about you." Leah told him.
"I'm sorry but I was scared and mad." Morrick told them.
"Scared?
Was it because of your Dad?
He'll be okay." Carley told him.
"Yes it was that a little.
I'm not strong enough to use magic to help him and I'm scared.
You heard what Elisa said.
He'll just leep getting weaker." He told them tears falling.
"You will be.
You're the Knight of Love, remember?
You can use the Flame of Love that burns within you to help." Carley replied.
"I-I can't.
My powers are only strong in Aria, remember?
Like Ogre Child's are." He answered sadly.
Leah sighed as she and Carley went to their rooms to get changed.
At their school there was a Halloween party.
Leah came out dressed as a zombie ninja with katanas and a Leaf Village head band.
Carley was already dressed but was with Izz .
"How're you feeling?" she asked handing him tissues.
"Bad.
Is Morrick okay?
I noticed he's down stairs.
Maybe he feels alone because in Aria he had Jen and the other Arian Knights to count on." he told her.
"Yeah you're right.
He said something about not being able to use his Flame of Love to help cure you." she replied hugging him.
"But what if you get infected with my germs?" he asked.
"It's okay Izard.
I already had it a month ago, remember?" she answered him.
"Yes I do." he replied smiling.
She was dressed like Jack Skellington but was the Pumpkin Queen.
She also had white make up on her face and dark rings around her eyes to make the look complete.
"Carley you ready?" she heard Leah say from down stairs.
"Yeah I'm coming!" she replied grabbing her back pack and symbol cane.
Morrick was confused about why they were dressed up as he had snuck into Carley's back pack.
"Halloween's great!
You get to dress up, get candy and have a lot of fun.
But I love the mystical side of the holiday where it is said spirits will return to walk the earth for this one night alone.
It's pretty cool once you think of it." Carley explained to him but noticed the lok on Morrick's face.
"You think I could see her again?
I only got to talk to her once in the Forest of Love before that jerk Yashu hurt her!
I bet he's..... the one who infected my Dad with those germs!" he mused as they entered the high school.
Leah noticed that some of the Anime Club was dressed up as people from Naruto and other animes.
But Leah noticed something was wrong with Morrick as they put him in Carley's locker.
"No, not today!
Why does his Flame of Darkness have to remerge today on the most mystical day of the year?
Of course because Arian magic is stronger on Halloween especially dark magic!
Yashu knew this.
He knows Morrick would have poor control today because of the magic increase.
Maybe today I could defeat him.
Since Ogre Child's Ogreix is very powerful at this time of year.
It's worth a shot." she thought as they walked to English.
Yashu cackled as he entered the hallway coming to where Morrick was.
"W-What do you want?" Morrick growled angrily.
"You.
Don't you know?
This day is when all Arian's magic is very powerful especially yours." he told him cackling.
Morrick clutched his furry head in agony.
It was because the Flame of Darkness was trying to break loose.
"N-No!
Gotta remain in control!" he said struggling.
"It's no use Morrick.
Don't you want to be the Prince of Darkness and rule?" he said to him.
"I don't wanna do anything that'll hurt people I care about!" Morrick replied to him growling.
Yashu cackled as he disappeared with him.
Leah saw her friend sink to her knees in agony.
"What's wrong?" she asked her.
"It's Morrick.
His power is getting out of control.
I have to calm him down using Ogreix." Carley told her.
She watched as her friend transformed into Ogre Child and disappeared.
Yashu cackled as Morrick's fur began to change.
It was a sign that his dark powers were about to break loose.
"No I won't let it out!
I remember what happened last time." he thought.
"Leave him alone!" he heard somebody yell as Yashu was hit by a blast of Ogreix.
He was relieved to see Ogre Child.
"Don't worry Morrick.
We're getting out of here." she said as he fainted.
Yashu cackled as he shot a spiked feather which went into Morrick's arm.
The Psammead growled in pain.
Ogre Child then felt strange powers bubbling within her.
Suddenly Leah saw a storm surround her friend as she arrived in Aria.
"What happened?" she asked as the storm faded and her friend fainted but they were back in her room.
Izz saw the worry in her hazel eyes.
"Don't worry I'll explain." he said to her.....
