Sing Your Way Out

Chapter 18: Messengers

Fenton POV:

We raced right through a gap in the wall. The murderous howl of the fight far behind us. Ray urging the group forward, Agave racing alongside us. We were the chosen to find Cj and the others, and urge them on. It was now two days after they had left, the war went from bad, to horrible. The knomes were going to win. If they won, all was lost. Ray held out his phone in moon light for me to see.

"You're the best with tracking, find them." Ray said, concern showing in his eyes, certainly for Suki.

"I'll do my best to find them. From the position of these ferns, they seem to have been heading north. If I am not mistaken, they were running when they came past…"

"FENTON! We don't have time! We need to find them!" Agave snarled

"She's right, we need to move on." Ray said with the usual sneer in his voice.

We ran through the endless walls of foliage. We ran until the sun rose. We rested, and then continued hastily. The sun had risen into the sky, when Ray stopped us.

"Smell that?" Ray asked

"Smoke…" Agave hissed softly

"RUN!" Came a scream. It seemed to come from the beach below.

"Suki…" Ray said under his breath, and immediately began to follow the voice. Agave and I followed.

"RAY, STOP!" Agave screamed after him, Ray stopped.

"What, you can't expect me to stop and watch them burn!" Ray snarled.

"You won't! The fire isn't on the beach, where the scream came from. That is also not a normal fire. Look at how fast the smoke is spreading. We should wait until it passes, and then go looking for them." Agave soothed.

"I agree with Miss Agave." I said.

"Let's sit there in the shade, gather our selves, and wait." Agave said softly, Ray just nodded.

We sat in the tree line, watching animals run for their lives, and the screams of Cj's group as the smoke passed them over. The screams went silent, and the smoke mysteriously disappeared, but where to? Aside from that, further down the beach, bodies were strewn along the water's edge.

"Let's move on, shall we?" I said. Agave and Ray just nodded.

Cj POV:

Ceej, CEEJ! I tried to focus on the voice swirling in her mind. CEEJ! I reluctantly opened my eyes. I tried to move. I felt like I was tied down.

"Don't try, whatever it was, it was to temporarily paralyze us."

Ian.

I tried to talk, but all that came out was an embarrassing squeak. Ian chuckled.

"I should have told you about that." Ian said, I could hear the smile in his voice.

"You should have told me that." I managed to say.

"Listen, Fenton, Ray and a girl named Agave. Apparently they are messengers."

"Okay." I said, I managed to sit up, and looked at Ian, He looked like he had been mauled by a wild animal.

"You just managed to get out?" Suki said looking intently at Ray. Beside her stood Fenton, and beside him, stood Agave. I smile the best I could, she was okay.

"We have bad news" Ray said, his voice had the usual sneering none it always did. Something's don't change, even in a dire situation as the one we were in.

"What is it?" I asked. I consciously saw that everyone gathered around me. There muscles stiff.

"The battle…" Agave said softly.

"The battle is almost over." Ray said.

"YES!" Tiki rejoiced. Swan quickly silenced her.

"Why do you still have such sad looks?" Gabe asked

"Yes, why do you look so sad?" Roark asked, looking them over.

"Because…" Ray said

"Well?" Susan prompted.

"We are all on the losing side." Agave said in quiet voice.

OMG! What will happen? Anyway, Cjbiggestfan was my winner of my contest. Agave is her character, and she can make her do what she wants, within reason (still my story!). Its summer, so I might not update, I travel a lot. I have two maps of tower from the episodes that will be on my profile soon, just look for them. I own nothing except my characters. Sorry for the short chapter. Till Next Time!
