Here we go! Now you get to figure out what Isabel, Clara, and Vanessa saw! I've got a good baby name, but don't stop the suggestions, cuz it might change if I see a better one!

Chapter 9

Kyle

Matt, Ron, and I walk for about…oh, I don't know…5 minutes before Matt stops. Ron and I turn around to see what's going on, and when he sees our questioning looks, Matt says, "Isabel's had a vision."

"What about?" I ask.

"She saw that Voldemort guy, and…oh crap."

"What?" Ron and I ask simultaneously.

Matt looks at us with fear in his eyes. "Remember when we were explaining ourselves to you guys, and we mentioned Lathenia?"

We both nod. "Well, she's there, too, with her soldiers."

Ron groans. "Now we have to fight two evil people at the same time?"

Matt nods. "But that's not the worst part. You know how Harry is the only one who can kill Voldemort? Well, Neriah and I are the only ones able to kill Lathenia, as she's Immortal and so are the two of us."

Ron groans again. "This just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?"

Matt nods again, and we continue walking along. Of course, our luck just gets worse, because we have to stop only, like, 2 minutes later. Apparently, Matt keeps getting messages, and can't keep walking or he'll walk into something. As soon as this "message" is over, Matt's eyes widen. "Come on, we have to go, now!"

He runs in the direction that Clara, Isabel, and Vanessa went, and Ron and I run after him.

All the way there, I'm thinking that something terrible happened, and that Clara is either dead or very injured, but Matt assures me (after warning me about blocking my thoughts…oops) that if something happened like that, Isabel would be able to heal her, or Vanessa.

Isn't it stupid that although I think Clara likes me, and I know that she knows how much I like her (yeah…I'm really not good at screening those thoughts of mine…), we still haven't gotten together. I think it's also because of everything that's been going on right now…

When we finally get to where we're going, I notice (with relief, of course) that everyone's okay, and pretty soon all 15 of us are here. "What's the problem?" Dillon asks.

"This," Vanessa replies, pointing at a field.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Isabel

I can see the shocked expressions forming on their faces as they all see the scene behind us. "Yeah, I'd say that's a problem, alright," Ethan says, and everybody agrees.

"So as you can clearly see," I state when they're all done staring in disbelief, "it appears that Lathenia has fallen for Voldemort, and that they were expecting us."

I turn back around and take a second look at the two armies standing together, their leaders standing on a hill, holding hands. I shudder at the sight. Arkarian comes up beside me and I instinctively grab his hand. After a while, he speaks. "Well, it seems we'll have to change our strategy now."

"Does this mean I'll get to fight?" I ask excitedly, and Arkarian and Matt share a nervous glance. I can tell they're communicating through thoughts, and it pisses me off. "Why can't you guys just talk like the rest of us? In fact, why do all you Truthseers seem to prefer 'talking' through your thoughts instead of out loud? I don't know about the others, but it sure makes me feel left out and stupid!"

"Isabel, you need to be quiet!" Rochelle urges.

"No, I'm going to be as loud as I want to!"

Neriah comes over to me. "Please, Isabel. We don't want to be found out."

But it's too late for that. Some members of each side come and attack us. Without waiting for anybody to tell me if I can fight or not, I start attacking them back, taking out my anger on those evil bastards.

As soon as we've dealt with this wave, Matt and Harry each take over, leading us onwards. We fight as hard as we can, having no mercy. The one thing I'm afraid of is the fact that the Death Eaters and Voldemort can simply take someone's life with a wave of their wand, leaving me powerless to heal them. Or so I've been told. It doesn't mean that I'm going to simply give up, not when there's still a possibility of life in that person.

After what seems like ages, the fighting stops. I look around me to see thousands of bodies on the ground, most of them from either the Order or the Death Eaters. A little ways away I spot Dillon lying down, trying hard to get up. I run over to him and see that something slashed him. Ginny comes over, and calls Harry. He comes and takes one look at the wound before looking up to me and saying, "That was the spell Sectumsempra. It pretty much cuts the person so deeply that they lose a lot of blood and eventually die if it's not fixed."

Armed with this knowledge, I start healing as fast as I can. As soon as I'm done, he sits up. "Thanks, Isabel," he says before getting to his feet. Quickly, I scan the rest of the field for any more dead or injured on our side, but can't see any. So I check to make sure everybody's here.

Once that's done, and everyone's accounted for, Matt comes over to me. "It's not over yet," he says, indicating the fact that Lathenia and Voldemort are still up there, waiting.

Matt, Neriah, Harry, and - to my horror – Arkarian go up to the hill. I know that Harry's going to kill Voldemort, cuz he's the only one who can, while Arkarian, Matt, and Neriah are going to fight Lathenia. Of course, only Matt and Neriah can kill her, but Arkarian can help weaken her to make it easier for them. The rest of us get to stand back and watch.

"I'm going to bet that Voldemort goes first," Dillon whispers.

"No way," Ethan disagrees. "Lathenia's got three people on her!"

"Yeah, but knowing that will make Voldemort think he's going to do fine, and that'll make him go first!"

"No, it'll be her!"

"Him!"

"Her!"

"Him!"

"Her!"

"SHUT UP!" I yell at the two of them. Just then, the "thunk" of a body hitting the ground draws my attention.

"Ha ha! I knew it!"

So there! I'm not telling you who bit the dust until next chapter, but I'd like you know what you guys think. And nobody will be changing my mind on who dies, because I have it all planned out nicely. Anyway, how did you like it? I know, I know, I'm crap at fight scenes. They're just not my strong point. I'm better at writing plot less romance than action, so it's not really my fault it sucks, is it now?
