CHAPTER 12
(Normal POV)
It was now early winter, and with everything that has happened, the trio were discussing a very serious matter.
"Now explain exactly what happened…" The Harvest Goddess requested in a calm voice, but her voice had hints of worry.
"Ok, so me and Jill were carrying Skye to her house, when there was this person crying in the way. Jill, being Jill, wanted to see what happened. When she came close to the person, the person threw something in her face and ran away. I couldn't stop the person since I was carrying Skye, and now Jill fainted!" Witch Princess explained worriedly.
"That was probably Claire…Ok, so Jill fainted…at least it was nothing worse right…?" Gray tried to reassure.
"Actually… Claire might have thrown a potion that does something other than making someone faint. If I know potions, I'm sure the potion will take effect when she wakes up," Witch Princess stated quietly.
"Oh no…so what do we do now?" The Harvest Goddess asked.
"Umm...let's just take Jill home, and get Skye to wake up," Gray suggested to the two girls.
"Oh yeah…why didn't I think about that?" Witch Princess mumbled, snapping her fingers, poofing Jill and Skye to Jill's farm.
"Ok, now let's go and wait until one of them wakes up…" Gray sighed.
"Yep…ok, I'll meet you guys there!" Witch Princess said, poofing herself to the farm.
"Yeah, see you there Gray…" The Harvest Goddess smiled, teleporting herself to the farm as well, leaving just a bunch of sparkles behind.
"Why is it I have to be the only non-magical being here?" Gray groaned, walking to the farm slowly.
When Gray finally reached the farm, he saw Skye awake and talking with the Witch Princess and the Harvest Goddess outside.
"…and that's why Jill fainted," The Harvest Goddess said, finishing her explanation.
"Gray. What took you so long?" Witch Princess demanded.
"Well, I can't teleport like you guys y'know!" Gray sighed.
"Oops. Sorry Gray," The Harvest Goddess giggled.
"Gray, are whatever these people saying true?" Skye asked.
"Yep," Gray replied.
"Oh man! So you're saying I DID act like a needy teenage girlfriend?" Skye groaned.
"Yes," Witch Princess and Gray snickered, and the Harvest Goddess suppressed a smile. Their little chat was broken when they heard someone open the door of the farm house.
"JILL! Oh My Gosh! I'm so sorry I didn't mean anything I did! I LUV YOU!" Skye started saying, when he stopped himself.
"I'm acting like a teenage girl again aren't I?" Skye sighed.
"YEP!" Witch Princess laughed.
"Wait…what's going on here? Where am I? Who are you? Who am I?" Jill started asking with a confused expression. Witch Princess stopped laughing, and her smile was wiped clean off.
"Skye…Harvest Goddess…Gray… it's a mind erasing potion…." Witch Princess whispered.
"Are you sure? And can you make an antidote or something?" Skye asked.
"No… Claire used the one potion I feared she might use…" Witch Princess said.
"Why?" Gray asked.
"Uhh…guys?" Harvest Goddess tried to say, but was ignored.
"Well… There was an antidote…but it turns out that Claire stole that too…" Witch Princess explained.
"Guys…?" The Harvest Goddess asked with a louder voice
"Well make another one!" Skye ordered.
"Excuse me! Do you know how hard and long it takes to make one? I need ingredients that are so rare to find, and some that only appear once a year, and even if I have all the ingredients, it takes approximately four seasons-or a year- to prepare!" Witch Princess argued.
"GUYS! SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME!" The Harvest Goddess shouted. Everyone kept quiet, because they never heard her speak like that.
"Ok…if you guys had heard me awhile ago, I said that Jill is gone," The Harvest Goddess said, composing herself.
"Oh man! So what do we do about this? It's not like we can get that antidote…" Skye mumbled. Then he looked up to see the three of them looking at him. Then it dawned on him.
"Oh yeah…I'm a thief!" Skye grinned.
(After their planning)
"Ok, so Gray will help me out, and Witch Princess and Harvest Goddess will find Jill and keep her safe," Skye said.
"I think you guys should wear a disguise though. We don't want people to wonder why is it that there is a magical deity and a Witch going all over the place looking for Jill, and following her around everywhere," Gray suggested.
"All right fine… I hate that form though…" Witch Princess mumbled, casting a spell on herself.
"Okay…" The Harvest Goddess said, doing the same. When they were done, they actually looked normal.
The Witch Princess' hair was wavy instead of curly, and was in a ponytail. She also had a Black clip in her hair. Instead of her usual cloak, she wore a purple blouse and skirt that still had the same design that she usually wore. And she had a black cotton jacket. Then she wore sandals. She actually looked very pretty, but she was frowning, and trying to pull down her skirt.
The Harvest Goddess' hair was in one braid that went down her back, and she had a white headband. Instead of her usually revealing clothes, she had on a light blue top, with a skirt, and a white cotton jacket. And she wore ballet flats. The Harvest Goddess was checking what she looked like and sighed at the Witch Princess' antics.
All in all, they looked like two very pretty girls that seemed like sisters. They looked like sisters, and acted like sisters. Maybe they even looked like fraternal twins to some.
"Ok, let's just get this over with…" Witch Princess sighed, deciding to stop messing with her clothes, since it was no use anyways.
"Allright boys. Good luck," The Harvest Goddess said.
"Good luck girls…" Skye and Gray said. When the Harvest Goddess and Witch Princess left, the boys got to work.
"Ok, first of all, we need to know where her house is…" Skye said.
"Hmm… I have an idea. I have to make sure first though…" Gray replied, grabbing his phone, and dialling a number. It rang once. Twice. On the third ring, the person picked up.
"Hello, Mineral Town Clinic, how can I help you?" The man on the phone said.
"Hey Doctor. It's Gray. Is she there?" Gray asked.
"Yes… she's at the farm. Gray, I can only act dense and clueless for so long," Doctor said. He already knew what he was talking about, since Gray already told him.
"I know. Where are the other boys?" Gray inquired.
"Hmm… Rick, The gourmet and the kappa are guarding her house, I don't even know how she got those three to follow her… Kai and Cliff haven't returned yet, and I refused to help. I heard she was going somewhere tonight, so she was looking for guys to protect her house. I think she's paranoid you guys might do something…" Doctor informed.
"Ok… thanks Doctor," Gray thanked.
"No problem… You have to teach this girl a lesson Gray…" Doctor replied. Then Gray hung up the phone.
"Yep. She's there, but she's going somewhere later," Gray told Skye.
"Perfect. Let's get to work," Skye ordered.
(Let's move to Witch Princess and Harvest Goddess)
"Jill! Where are you Jill?" Witch Princess and Harvest Goddess called.
"Ugh, where can that girl be?" Witch Princess groaned.
"C'mon, I'm sure we'll find her…" Harvest Goddess said.
"Wow…hey there ladies. What's your name?" A particular blond boy said. The Harvest Goddess and Witch Princess groaned on the inside. Both of them knew the innkeeper's son, and they weren't big fans.
"You better shut your-"The Witch Princess was about to retort, but the Harvest Goddess stopped her.
"Umm… we were wondering if you knew where Jill is…do you know where she is?" The Harvest Goddess asked.
"Yeah… she's at the beach. Do you want me to take you there?" Rock offered.
"No," Witch Princess said harshly. Rock seemed unaffected.
"Well at least tell me your names," Rock said. Both girls panicked.
"Uhh… I'm Sephia…" The Harvest Goddess said. (Yeah… I think the Harvest Goddess' real name in Tree-of-tranquility is Sephia…)
"And…I'm uhh…. Vivi…?" The Witch Princess added, and mentally cursed for making her sentence sound like a question. (Yes, I know it's a different Witch Princess with this name, but it was the only name I thought of using) Luckily, Rock didn't seem to notice.
"Okay, well, if you need anything, just come to the inn…my mom will help out. If you need someone to entertain you, call me," Rock winked. When Rock finally left, both girls sighed loudly.
"I swear that if he stayed here any longer, I would have punched him in the face…" Witch Princess mumbled.
"Let's just go get Jill…" Harvest Goddess sighed. After awhile of walking, the Harvest Goddess started to smile, and Witch Princess noticed it.
"Now what are you smiling about?" Witch Princess demanded, standing in place.
"hehe…Vivi?" Harvest Goddess teased. The Witch Princess started going red with embarrassment.
"It was the first name that came into my mind!" Witch Princess said in defense.
"And anyways, how about you? Sephia?" Witch Princess mocked back, causing Harvest Goddess to turn red this time.
"Hey it's not that bad of a name!" Harvest Goddess frowned.
"Uhh…hello…" A quiet voice said from behind them.
Then, they turned around to see Jill who was shyly trying to get their attention.
"Umm…excuse me… I think you were the two girls I saw when I first woke up… I know it's embarrassing to say but… do you know who I am?" She asked in a tiny voice.
The way she spoke was different than the confident and determined voice Jill usually had. This Jill was shy, quiet, and almost seemed like a lost, timid, little lamb. With the snow around her, and with that light blush on her cheeks, the Harvest Goddess and Witch Princess actually wanted to dress her up, protect her, and do everything else you want to do to a cute little puppy.
Aww…that's so adorable! Wait a minute… I'm Witch Princess! I'm not supposed to act like this! I blame the outfit… Witch Princess thought.
"Of course we'll help you. Let's just get you home. You must be very cold," Harvest Goddess said in a soothing and motherly voice.
"O-okay…" Jill whispered, following both of the girls quietly.
"Hey Harvest Goddess…is this how Jill used to act?" Witch Princess asked in a voice low enough for Jill not to hear.
"Actually…sort of… when she was with her parents when they were still alive, she acted like this. When she was at the orphanage, with Skye, she was a little happy and a little bit confident, though she usually kept to herself. When she was with Claire, she was quiet, reserved, and shy. When she came here to the valley though… she changed her personality to a very confident girl," The Harvest Goddess explained in the same low voice.
"Ok. Jill is so different than any other human I've ever met. Her personality can always surprise me, and she is so hard to read…" Witch Princess sighed.
"Yeah…" The Harvest Goddess agreed. Then all three of them went to the farm and they tried helping her, and distracting her as much as possible.
(Ok, let's see what going on with Skye and Gray)
As night engulfed Mineral Town, and snow began to fall, the three boys tried to stay awake, to protect Claire's farm. Then, they heard a bunch of noises.
"Huh? Who's there?" Rick asked uncertainly.
"Uhh…it is I fair maiden! The prince of the stars, and man of your dreams!" Skye smiled.
"What the heck?" Rick reacted, with a look of confusion evident on his face.
"Now what are a bunch of beautiful...uhh… people like you doing so late at night? Though, umm… under the stars, your beauty really stands out," Skye continued saying to the three men who were standing there thinking he was crazy.
"Umm… I have never seen a most beautiful face like uhh… yours," Skye said, bending on one knee, and took Rick's hand.
"I'm going to punch you in the face," Rick glared. And the two other guys just watched, and waited for a fight to break out.
"Don't let such raw anger ruin your beauty!" Skye started to say, nearly getting punched in the face.
"OK, I got it! We can go now!" Gray shouted. All of the boys turned around, and saw that Gray had already taken what they needed. When Rick, the Gourmet, and the Kappa looked back on where Skye was, he was gone.
Then they saw Gray and Skye run out of the farm. "Hey! Get back here!" The three boys shouted at the same time, and started to chase after Gray and Skye.
They ran around everywhere, and they made such a racket, it was surprising that the whole town didn't wake up.
Doctor was finishing up paperwork, when he looked out his window, and saw the two boys being chased by a big fat guy, a guy with glasses, and a Kappa, he just sighed, and shook his head. Then he went back to his paperwork, like he saw that every day.
(Ok, to the Harvest Goddess and Witch Princess!)
"Alright Jill, come on out!" Witch Princess and Harvest Goddess said. When Jill came out, she was in some sort of school uniform.
"Aww, how cute! School girl outfit!" The Harvest Goddess giggled. Then they pushed her back into the closet, and when she came out, she was in a cloak or something.
"Hehehe…little witch outfit!" Witch Princess laughed. Then they pushed her into the closet, and when she came out again, she was in an adorable cat outfit, complete with cat ears.
"Umm… why do you guys keep dressing me up?" Jill asked.
"Well, uhh…" The Harvest Goddess and Witch Princess mumbled, trying to make up an excuse. They were thankful when Skye and Gray came into the farm.
"Hey guys, we have the antido- wow. What is Jill wearing?" Skye said.
"Yeah…we've been dressing her up," The Harvest Goddess explained.
"Hi Jill…" Skye mumbled, looking at the floor.
"H-hey…I guess…" Jill replied.
"Okay, let's just do this now. Gray said, bringing out the antidote.
"Are you sure this will work?" Skye asked worriedly.
"Hopefully…if we give it to her now, she'll fall asleep and when she wakes up, she'll be normal," Witch Princess explained.
"Alright…Jill, I need you to drink this, ok?" Harvest Goddess requested. She obeyed quietly, and drank it slowly.
"Hmm…it tastes like grape…I'm sleepy…" Jill mumbled. "Ok, let's get you to bed…" The Harvest Goddess said, magically changing her clothes back to normal. And when Jill finally fell asleep, the four of them sat at Jill's table and looked at each other.
"So…now what?" Gray asked.
"We wait…" Witch Princess replied. And so they waited.
Ok…here's this chapter. It's funny that Jill acted like a little girl… Oh well, It seems we're soo close to the end…I'll see you in the next chapter!
