Chapter 24: Something's wrong.
Its been hours since Sylvia left Elise alone to allow her to collect her thoughts. Since then, she had a dream about her old life before coming to the past. She saw her parents again and they gave her the support she needed to stay strong. She open her green eyes and let out a sigh. "Then why don't I feel very strong. ... and Why do I feel cold of a sudden?" Her fox body sits up and starts to shiver. Standing up she walks over to the group. Looking at them, she noticed the look on their faces. Like they know something.
Miles looks up at her and raises a wing. "Elise. How are you feeling?"
She shivers and shrugs. "Bad."
Vivian blinks and looks at her. "I can see that. You okay? It seems you're shivering."
Elise raises her right paw and rubs it on her left arm. "I'm feeling cold. I didn't even know I would be able to feel it on a summer's day."
Sylvia wanders over to her. "I hope you're not taking ill." The wolf gently pushes the fox to lay down and her provides herself as a blanket.
The fox looks up to the wolf. "So what's have you guys been up to? You guys look like you've discovered something."
Miles nods. "We did. Elise, Grant had received those notes. We found out something big about Methis and how to break the spell. The spell can only be broken if Methis' life ends."
Elise looks up to Miles. "What was Grant's reaction to that?"
The crane looks down. "He wasn't too happy about it. And he also said that we shouldn't try anything as well."
She looks down. "I hope he knows what he's doing. I don't know how long I can take much more of this."
"SYLVIA!" The group looks over to Remy and Fleur rush over to the group. The Lynx looks the wolf. "Sylvia! The mean girl is back!"
Elise blinks in shock then bares her teeth. "Martha!" She starts the struggle under Sylvia, determined to get loose but the queen refuses to let her up.
Martha walks straight to the mansion. She walked inside and slams the door closed. Her entrance didn't faze the Sorcerer. His focus was on a spell he was working on. The princess rushes in front of him. "I want you to make Grant love me!"
He let the spell go and glares at her. "No!"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!?"
Methis folds his arms. "I said no. A spell like that doesn't exist. Besides, I'm tired of hearing his name. And even if such a spell did exists, it's wouldn't have the most desired effect."
Martha grits her teeth. "Well is there any way for him to forget her!?"
He rolls his eyes. "I personally don't see what so great about one prince." He lets out an annoying sigh. "But It will get you off my back, I'll help you." He then went to his books and looks up a certain potion. He read the ingredients and starting mixing them up. Half an hour later he handed her a vial. "Here."
The Princess looks at it. "What does this stuff do."
Methis picks up the book and shelves it. "It'll turn you into Elise, body and voice."
Martha's eyes wide then she glared at him. "YOU WANT ME TO TURN INTO THAT VILE COMMONER!?"
"Do you want him to love you or not? That's all I'm doing for this situation. Please take you're leave and never bother me again. I'm a very busy man." He then turns his back to her and starts to rework on his spell.
The princess lets out a huff and leaves with the vial in hand.
Elise manages to escape Sylvia's grasp and runs after the Princess, growling extremely loud. Once she saw the princess, she chases after her quickly.
Martha saw the fox charging at her then screamed and runs as quickly as she could. "STUPID ANIMAL! I SHOULD HAVE YOU HUNTED DOWN."
Even though she knows Martha couldn't understand a word she says, Elise yelled back. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS! YOU'LL LEARN THAT THE HARD WAY!" She stopped chasing the princess and breathes out hard, way to hard for her liking. "What is wrong with me?" She sits down trying to catch her breath. "I can't breathe." She closed her eyes and falls, completely blacked out.
