Mita: I'm not sure if you're all the way caught up yet but I'm going to leave a message of thanks for you anyways. That was a good guess and I was really going to do that but then I got this new flash of inspiration and as many can see now it is a woman.

Thanks to you all, this story will become a two arc story. I will put the second arc under the same story because they'll still be dodging bullets. Drunken Kathy will be in the second arc a lot more so look forward to it!
~Wizard's POV~
After Angela's encounter with (what I presumed to be) the "Rogue Sprite' mimicking me, she was on a slight rage mode. Though I suppose that was mostly my fault for...being unresponsive I guess you could say.
She continued to rant at me as we walked through the forest but the only thing I could do was stare at the facial expressions she was making. They went from anger, to sad, to aggravated, to smug, then a different type of anger, then to resigned, then a worried look and she continued to look at me with that one as she talked. I wondered why as I continued to stare down at her.
"Wizard...WIZARD! are you even listening?" Her voice filtered through my observation of her.
'Oh, she was talking to me.'
"I was in...deep thought..." I explained to her.
She looked like she wanted to be angry but she sighed and shook her head in dismissal.
"I give up. I'll just take what I can get from you." Her words confused me.
"Oh, no. Not like that. I meant your facial expressions. I barely get any out of you."
Before I could give her an answer she gave a small laugh and looked at me.
"Well, maybe that's part of my fascination with you." I felt the tip of my ears start to burn and I suddenly found the trees on the other side of me to be interesting.
"Look at me, being so care free while Molly's gone missing. But for some strange reason, I feel like she's safe right now."
"I could try...locating her..."
"Yeah, do that! Maybe she's close by!" Angela now had a hopeful gleam in her eyes.
"I need...full concentration..." She nodded and gave me some space. I slowly gathered the full extent of my magic and concentrated my thoughts on finding Molly. It took longer than usual but I was able to find her.
"This is preparing...to become a horrible day..." Angela gave me a questioning look.
"What, where is she?" She asked worriedly.
"She's safe with Chase...and the witch."
"The witch! Molly told me that she met her once before!"
"I remember..." I sighed slightly and began walking again.
"Well that's a new face." Angela smiled widely with all her worries being lifted from her. Her smile put me a little more at ease as we pressed forward.
~Chase's POV~
"Aha! I've got it!" Witch exclaimed and I jumped from my spot at the table.
"What is it?" I looked up but saw she wasn't there. I was so lost in thought that I missed her get up moments ago to go stand beside Molly.
"Well, I just took in Molly's condition and I realized she's been pretty traumatized by this little experience, because of that she's gone into a state of shock that's pressed her into a sleep state. That's why Wizard's potion didn't work all the way, though it would've been great to rub in his face...you know, I think I'll still give him crap about it. Oh, I despise him..." Witch rambled on, sighing dreamily at her thoughts of angering Wizard.
"Could you please get on with it!" I growled and she looked at me with some defiance.
"Lucky for you I just adore, Molly!" She spat.
"Yeah, I'm not too into that." I relayed to her.
"You mortal men and such disgusting thoughts! That wasn't what I meant!"
"Right, right." I mumbled and she gritted her teeth.
"As I was saying! This spell I found can get rid of said trauma."
"Really!" I hopped out of my seat and went to Molly's side.
"All trauma?" She shook her head.
"Unfortunately, this spell can only erase trauma that's happened within the time period of, at the most, three weeks. Why? Is there something else?" Worry spreading across her face.
I shook my head with slight disappointment but I didn't let it linger for long.
"What do you have to do?" I asked.
"Well it's really simple actual-oh" Witch clucked her tongue with distaste.
"What?"
"And this is the only spell that would work too..."
"What, what, what!" My voice coming out with a huge twinge of anger and impatience.
"There seems to be a little problem here..."
She began murmuring to herself and I felt myself growing more and more impatient.
"Well?" I asked in the nicest voice I could muster up...which didn't sound to nice I'll admit.
"In order for this spell to work she has to be given it by someone who loves her in every way and vice versa for her. Sorta like that half-assed 'true loves kiss' shit, but this one is real."
Just then, Wizard and Angela appeared through the open door.
"Molly! Oh, thank the Goddess she's safe!" Angela rushed beside me to her sister's side.
Witch glared at Wizard and turned to Angela.
"The Goddess didn't do a thing! You should be thanking me! And who are you?" She said crossly.
"I'm Molly's sister, Angela!" Angela became defensive.
"Well that changes everything!" Witch cheered, wrapping the confused girl into a hug.
"Just remember that I do nice things too. The Goddess isn't the only helpful one!"
"It's...nice to meet you too?" Angela said questioningly.
"I just adore your sister. We're pretty good friends."
"Really?" Angela asked with new piqued interest.
"Yes! Although she hasn't been able to come see me lately. The commute is pretty harsh so I don't blame her. I might just consider moving into town at this rate."
"Please don't..." Wizard seemed to sigh with a type of grief layering his voice.
"And YOU! How could you let Molly get abducted by that bitch of a woman?"
"Hey...is it really necessary to place that blame on him?" I asked her, irritation ringing through my voice again. She was oblivious to my comment though.
"I was...incapacitated at the time..." He said and I saw Angela's face heat up. Witch looked over at her too and got a slight look of disgust before whispering to her.
"I might need to talk to you about your taste in...men, if you can call him that." Which didn't help with Angela's reddened face.
"Does that mean...I can't exactly call you...a woman?" Wizard suggested calmly and I stifled a laugh.
"OF COURSE I'M A WOMAN!" Witch screeched.
"You sound more like...a banshee..." Wizard plugged his ears nonchalantly.
"Shut up before I kick you out!"
"You would be...doing me a favor."
"Or maybe I'll just keep Angela here with me using a spell and you'll never lay eyes on her again!" Witch threatened.
"It's not like it would-"
"I apologize..." Wizard cut Angela off, his voice sounded strained even though it was calm.
It was obvious that he liked her after he glared at me earlier, but I was still a little shocked that he apologized. My mind quickly went back to Molly.
"We're off subject here! Could you explain the situation to them already!" Witch gave me a haughty look and grudgingly told Wizard and Angela about the spell.
"That would be...the most effective way..." Wizard agreed hesitantly.
Angela was staring at me intently the whole time.
"What?"
"You could do it." She said simply and Witch and Wizard turned their attentions to me.
"What're you talking about?" I raised my hands up defensively though I was desperately trying to keep my cool.
"Yes Angela, what are you implying?" Witch asked her.
"That Chase...loves Molly..." Wizard gave her a no-duh expression.
"Let's not jump to conclusions here." I felt my composure dying down.
"This incompetent mortal loves my dear Molly! The poor dear..."
"Hold on a second..." I growled.
"But it's true Chase!"
The room was silent.
"Can't siblings work too?"
"If her sibling were who she loved and wanted to be with and vice versa then...yeah sure, magic doesn't care about incest, or homosexuality. It doesn't judge love." Witch turned to Angela.
"I have no problem with it myself if that's how you feel about her so I'll just-"
"Please let's not suggest that type of thing! That's wrong on so many levels! Molly and I are both strictly dickly. Nothing else can satisfy thank you!" Angela's face reddened and the Wizard looked at her in shock.
"Nice to know." I said in the best dead-pan voice I could muster up, though it was really hard to keep a straight face.
"You did say you weren't into that stuff." Witch shrugged and pulled a piece of my hair out.
"Ow!"
"Don't be such a baby! I need it for the potion." She explained and made her way towards her black cauldron.
"What a typical witch..." I murmured.
"What was that?"
"Nothing important." I called back to her as she prepared the liquid.
It wasn't too long before the substance was done and Witch carried it over to me, pressing it into my hands.
"Why are you giving it to me?" I asked.
"Because I used your hair! The potion requires one 'hair of the lover' in order for it to be complete."
"Whoa, I'm not her lover!"
"Maybe not, but you do love her! No pun intended!"
"But-"
"Look here buddy! I don't have the time to go searching for all the ingredients again! No one else but her lover can give it to her! The potion won't work if someone's whose hair was not used tries to give it to her! You either try and fail, or do it and she wakes up again!"
"Please Chase! I don't know what I'll do if I can't ever-" Angela sniffled with tears forming in her eyes.
"The best you can do...is try for her..." Wizard agreed and I sighed.
"I'll give it to her..." I complied and turned to Molly, Angela stepped over to Wizard so she was out of the way. She looked like she was sleeping so peacefully, it made me smile.
"Don't look at her like such a pervert and give it to her already!" Witch whispered urgently from the foot of the bed.
I scowled at her and started to tilt the bottle the liquid was in towards Molly's lips.
"No! Not like that! She'll choke on it if you give it to her that way!"
"So what do I do?"
"Lift her head up but tilt it back just slightly."
I did as I was asked.
"Alright."
"Now put it in your mouth."
I complied quickly without thinking, it wasn't a huge amount so I was able to hold it without storing it in my cheeks. The taste of the liquid was enough to burn my mouth. I turned to Witch, awaiting instructions.
"Now transfer it into her mouth, slowly mind you or she'll choke!" She ordered but I quickly spit the fluid back into the bottle out of protest.
"NO!"
"Ewww...Now it's backwash." Witch muttered angrily.
"I'm not doing it!"
"Do you want her to wake up again or not!"
"I do b-"
"Do you want her to forget about this or not!" She yelled.
I thought back to Molly's face when she told me her story from her life before the island.
"She'll have trust issues against you Chase. The rogue sprite impersonated you, remember! Do you want her to not trust you again? After she finally started opening up?" Angela stepped in.
'No you idiot...I don't want that...' I thought but I gritted my teeth instead.
"Well?" Angela urged me.
"You said slowly right?" I asked Witch.
"Unless you want her to drown on your bac-"
"Alright, I get it." I looked at the potion intensely.
"Don't look." I said seriously.
"I'm not looking." Angela said quickly and turned her head to the side, closing her eyes.
Wizard did the same and put a hand over his face in respect. Witch crossed her arms and turned her back.
I looked at Molly's sleeping form and whispered something almost inaudible in her ear. I stared at the liquid and put the bottle to my lips, letting it gather in my mouth.
I then tilted her head back slightly, closing my eyes, and placed my lips on hers. Her lips were smooth and I tried (believe me, I did) not to linger on the thought of them touching mine. I slowly parted her lips with mine so I could let the drink drip slowly into her mouth, making sure that our lips weren't too wide open in fear that I might actually make her choke in her sleep. What was probably only a minute, seemed to last for an hour and when the last drop made it's way through I pulled from her slowly. I heard her throat make a slight gulping sound which indicated that she took in every last bit and I couldn't help but to stare at her with a mixture of awe and shock. It felt like I just stole away her first kiss.
A few gasps sounded behind me and my face went red.
I turned to the trio with a more than suspicious look, who then returned to their former positions but not before I caught a glimpse of them.
Witch had her head slightly turned over her shoulder with one eye open. Angela had covered both her hands over her mouth, her face redder than anything I've seen before. Wizard had turned his head slightly back and was looking through his fingers.
'They were watching the whole time, the bastards!'
"I told you not to look, didn't I?" I shouted with frustration.
"We didn't see a thing." They chorused. I sighed and suddenly turned back to Molly. Her eyes were slowly flitting open.
"Molly!" I exclaimed on impulse, causing Angela and Witch to rush over and huddle over Molly.
"Molly! Are you okay?"
"You're not hurt, right? Nothing happened, right?" Witch and Angela said at the same time.
Molly was suddenly wide awake and she shot up from her lying position, almost hitting her head on mine in the process.
Her eyes darted back and forth among us before they widened with shock. Had she remembered what happened?
Everyone in the room leaned a little closer in anticipation and maybe fear until she shouted in a surprised voice.
"My lips are warm!"
'...Bullet dodged...?'
A couple laugh worthy moments in this chapter. I have to say that I'm really happy with it. I hope you guys are too. This arc's ending is going to be on a roll in the next chapter, it won't end next chapter but it'll be on a roll. Just a few more shockers before it ends, I can't leave you without shockers, it's just how I am XD.
Continue to read and review my lovelies! ^3^ Mwuah!
