Me: Well… um…

X-X-X-X Chapter 12: Piper's Plan and Saphire's Anger - - -X
BANG!
Piper flew backward, slamming into the fridge and landing in Aerrow's Arms. Aria climbed up onto the counter, a gentle glow of purple flooding her face as she reached in and pulled out a purple message crystal.
"It's voice and touch recognition crystal. It only works for my friend in Cyclonia and me. It'll hurt you otherwise." Aria explained, sitting down on the counter. Harrier, Junko, Finn, Chris, Emerald, Topaz, and Chase walked in, carrying in what was left of the food.
"Ow… you could have warned me." Piper groaned as Aerrow carefully set her on her feet.
"I tried. But we have a message." Exclaimed, squeezing the stone gentle before it glowed a gentle pink before filling the room with a purple glow and a rough but gentle voice filled the room.
"I hear you Aria. Our next delivery date is the 23rd, the night before Christmas eve, so they'll be drunk and stuffed if you want to attack after the party. They'll sleep late on Christmas. Good luck! Carla Loraletea." The crystal voiced Piper frowned slightly.
"Looks like we go into action early Christmas morning." Harrier exclaimed. Starling nodded, disappointment showing in her eyes.
"I'm going with." Saphire declared. Harrier turned to her.
"No. You and Starling are staying here." Harrier commanded.
"But-"
"No buts. You are my sister, and there is a still a large chance we won't all make it out. I'm not going to risk my sister's life, my friend's life or any of my friend's lives on this mission." Harrier exclaimed.
:"I agree with Harrier. Which means Piper is staying too." Aerrow exclaimed. Piper spun around to face her commanding officer.
"you Can't!" Piper protested.
"I agree to a degree but disagree to another. IT is Piper's plan, she should be allowed to go. I am also a Sky knight which gives me equal right to go with." Starling argued.
"She has a good point." Saphire admitted, knowing fully her battle was lost, but Starling and Piper still had a chance of winning. Aria stood off to the side, her eyes glittering in mischief, a smirk on her face.
"Neither of you of you are going." Harrier exclaimed. Aria snickered.
"I have a few things to point out. First off, You need me to let your guide know it's me and you, and second, I'm not going if Piper, Starling, and Saphire aren't going." Aria exclaimed, smirking evilly. Harrier turned to face her.
"Your not going." Harrier spat, making Aria's face fall.
"Hate to pop your bubble and argument Aria, the Rex Guardians are infamously know in Cyclonia." Piper pointed out, a frown on her face. "And so are the storm hawks. Wanted posters and such. Everyone will recognize them."
"Damn, that's a good point." Aria muttered.
"You guys can't do that! Aerrow, Piper is apart of your team! Harrier, Starling is a sky knight! You have no call over her on that!" Saphire argued, her voice getting loud, her face getting tight with anger, her eyes getting dark and dangerous.
"I can keep Piper here, I'm her commanding officer." Aerrow snapped.
"You got to give him that." Piper exclaimed, her eyes admitting defeat. "But you do have a point, Harrier does have no call over Starling."
"Um… actually… he kinda does." Starling exclaimed, raising her hand so the light catching something as she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, leaving her hand next to her ear longer then necessary.
"OH MY GOD!" Piper squealed, running over to examine Starling's Hand. "Real gold, large diamond in center, surrounded with amethyst on either side. It's beautiful!"
"He went to Jared didn't he?" Carla asked.
"Nope, he went somewhere better. "Starling answered, a gentle smile on her face.
"It's beautiful. It's a keeper." Aria exclaimed. Saphire nodded slightly, her anger momentarily forgotten. Starling frowned, seeming to remember something.
"It seems that I must admit defeat." Starling exclaimed, making the other s' faces fall. Piper sighed and bowed her head, gesture that she admitted deaft. Saphire's Anger came back ten fold. She screamed in Anger and bolted out the front door.
"SAPHIRE!" They yelled as they bolt to the porch, only to find her completely gone and 4 more inches of snow on the ground. Aria stared at a set of foot prints on the ground, nodding as if they spoke to her.
"She's gone." Junko stated, a note of sorrow ing in his voice.
"No, she'll be back. It's too cold for her. She'll be back soon." Aria exclaimed, rubbing her arms to generate some heat. She turned back to the house and started to make hot chocolate. She took two mugs of it and disappeared. Piper followed her as the others sat around the table or gathered near the door to watch for Saphire. Piper followed Aria to their room where she found the window wide open and Saphire laying on her bed, out cold. Aria placed the mugs on the nightstand and bolted to the window where she slammed it closed.
"Oh my…" Piper breathed, she ran over to Saphire, just barely touching the skin of the before taking control. "Stay here, don't touch her but gently cover her with a blanket, something warm. And turn the heat on!"
"Wait, what?" Aria asked, confused.
"Just do it. Don't touch her ankle. It's swollen, she might have twisted or sprained it." Piper ordered before bolting down the stair case.
"Where's the fire?" Harrier asked as she ran into the kitchen past him and to stork.
"Stork, I need your help." Piper exclaimed. Stork raised his eye brow.
"Why?" He asked. A shriek echoed through the house. Piper frowned slightly as Aria bolt into the room.
"She's awake and deemed her ankle twisted. At least she's pretty sure it's twisted." Aria exclaimed, her voice gaining confusion at the last part. Piper turned to face her.
"She's up?" Aria nodded. "Let's talk to an actual doctor. Hot water bottles first off. She's practically frozen."
"I got it." Aria exclaimed, letting Piper run through the house to Saphire's Room where Saphire was falling off her bed almost. Piper scurried to her friend's side and helped her back onto the bed.
"Ow. Can you get that pillow for me to prop my ankle up onto, please?" Saphire asked as she looked at the small green pillow at the foot of her bed.
"Is it sprained?" Piper asked.
"No, but it might be twisted. That was the two class I skipped when I was studying to be a doctor. I was trained in everything else but then nothing in sprains and twisting and the day we had the guest appearance I skipped and-" Piper cut Saphire off.
"I get it." Piper exclaimed, grabbing the pillow to prop her foot on and covering her with a blanket. Harrier walked in and stopped, making Aria edge her way around him to give Piper the hot water bottles.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't throttle you." Harrier demanded, glaring at his sister.
"I'm your sister and the last of your immediate family." Saphire stated, staring at the wall as Piper placed the water bottles around her.
"That's two." Harrier stated, staring at her with an annoyed look. " how'd you get in?"
"Magic." Saphire answered. Harrier glared at his sister before turning to Piper.
"How'd she get in?" Harrier asked. Piper shrugged.
"No clue. We found her up her out cold. How would we know how she got back into the house?" Piper reasoned, straightening her own bed before sitting on it, turning to look at Harrier. Harrier nodded and left. Saphire smiled.
"Thanks. He'd be angry if he knew how I got back in." Saphire exclaimed. Piper laughed.
"What are friends for? We watch each other's backs." Piper exclaimed.
