"Everyone, don't land! We're flying to Ashenvale." Blastoise yelled through the wind.

"Okay!" Several people yelled back.

We flew over Auberdine and the hippogryphs made their way over the beach and Twilight Shore. Several people looked up and stared at us.

"Thiss, we're going to die!" Varocte yelled at me from behind.

"So? Revive yourself."

I think he just wanted something to say to me.

Some guy from below us yelled that we were under attack and that everyone had to evacuate.

We passed the Twilight Shore and headed into Maestra's Post. It was pretty straightforward from there. The hippogryphs flew us to Astranaar and we landed at the flight master. She eyed us suspiciously.

"Okay, everyone, follow me!" Blastoise yelled from the front.

I quickened my pace and Varocte kept up with me.

I knew I was being a total jerk, but I just couldn't let him feel this way about me. It's not… right. Ever since my last lover left me, I've been totally avoiding love. I knew that it hurt, and that I would probably get hurt again. I didn't want to take that chance. Varo probably wouldn't leave me, but he was just a friend. Nothing more. I hated thinking about this. It made me feel like a destroyer of love or something.

I realized I was ahead of Blastoise.

"Thiss, wait for us!" He said.

I stopped my moving legs and let him pass me. I followed him from there.

We stopped a few fifty yards away from the Barrens entrance and hid behind some trees.

"How are we going to get in?" I asked.

"Kill the guards. There's only two." Blastoise said.

I sighed and started to stand up. Blastoise grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back down.

"Not yet. Wait until I say go. We all have to go at once."

"Can you say go now?" A girl asked.

"Fine. Go."

We all stood up and started charging. A few blocked themselves.

Blastoise killed them both in one swing with his glowing, jagged sword. He walked in calmly, while everyone followed and some stared in total horror. A few left.

Blastoise killed everything near him, swinging his sword and hearing shrieks of pain from the beasts.
