Chapter 29: Grant Vs Methis Part 2
Inside of the mansion, Noel and Lewis guards the doors incase Methis enters. They both tense up when the heard the door open. Once they heard the footsteps of the person coming in, they both step in the way with the fist clenched tight. They both immediately drop them when the see that It's Adam, who jumped back when he saw that they were nearly ready to slug him.
Noel blinks. "You must be Grant's brother."
Adam nods while recovering from shock. "Yes, I am" He looks the group in front of him "And you must be Methis' captives." He glances over to a corner to see a man tied up staring at him with wide eyes. Adam find it best not to ask questions about it.
Outside the fight continues between Wolf and Fox. They both circle each other intensely. Methis bares his teeth and growls at Grant. At that second Prince realizes that the sorcerer is becoming more animal when drool starts to drip from the wolf's mouth as the battle drags on.
The wolf grew tired of waiting for time to continue and rushed to the Fox. Grant managed to dodge Methis' chop. Even though he missed the bit, Grant can imagine the pain that would have hot shocked through his neck. Grant would have grimaced at the thought if Methis wouldn't have continue to Jump and bite him.
Though at Grant's thoughts, Methis tackled the prince to the ground, which took the breath out of Grant's lunges, and snaps at his face.
Grant pushed Methis' shoulders back, to stop his current attack. He looks to his right and saw that there was a tree that sat just across the field. He looks back at the snarling Wolf, knowing how to get him off. Grant takes Methis by surprised as hoisted his hind legs on to the Wolf's belly and pushed up. Methis starts to struggle, demanding to be put back on the ground but that thought quickly left his head when he felt a sudden pain against his spine. The impact felt like his body was about to smash into a million pieces with no air in his lungs, the only noise that came from him was a loud yipe. When he fell to the ground, he lays there to gather himself together.
Soon he stands up and shakes off the pain. When he looks over to where the fox was, he wasn't surprised that he was gone. "Running, little Prince? I wasn't a wear that the mighty Grant, whom every one loves is such a coward." He walks around and looks through the bushes. "COME OUT OF FIGHT ME! THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED, WASN'T IT!?"
As the Wolf continues to search, he passed a tree that in fact hid a Seven foot Fox. Grant watched as the Sorcerer continues to walk around. Then His eyes wide as realization struck him. "Don't tell me that He doesn't know of his disadvantage!" Grant starts to climb down.
The wolf continues to look around then gets the feeling that a certain someone was right behind him. Methis snarls then immediately turns around and jumps at the fox with claws out. Grant cries out in pain as the wolf's claws cut into chest, deep! He covers his chest, feeling his blood seep into his red fur. He looks back up to Methis and grits his teeth in pain. The Sorcerer smirks then jumps at the fox with is jaw opened and a loud bark given out.
With each passing second the moon rose higher and higher into the sky and joins the dark gray clouds and stars.
Inside Foy, Noel, and Miles looked out of a window to watched what was going on outside. They winced as they saw the painful blows that Methis was giving Grant. Foy clenched his small fist to his chest. "You can't lose this, Grant!"
Miles nods in agreement.
Noel thinks. "But what if he can't?" Both men slowly turn their head to the teen. If Noel had his long ears, Miles and Foy would have seen then dropped. The teen raised his hands in defence. "I'm just saying. If Grant Can't do it. Then what?" The two men look at each other.
Lewis looks to the group and Pulls out a book from the book-case. "Then we give him a taste of his own medicine." The trio looks at him.
Vivian looks at them. She had walked around the mansion since Adam had Volunteer to take her place to take care of Elise, who is now pale white and still breathing extremely hard. The red-head points out the window. "We wont need to! LooK!"
The group turns their attention to the window once more. Even the three Children clutter up against a window to see what had caught their attention.
Methis lets Grant falls to, all scratched up, bleeding and breathing hard. Every inch of him started to Ache.
The wolf looks down to the fox, catching his breath. Once it had settled, Methis let out a chuckle. "Oh how the mighty had fallen. You should have known from the very beginning that you were fighting a loosing battle."
Grant would have raised an eye brow, can't understand a single work the wolf is saying. All that falls to his ears is growing and barking. He keeps quiet as he guesses Methis continues on with his gloating.
"It's time we end this, Your Majesty. But don't worry, I'm sure Elise won't last another hour. You'll both spend an eternity together, IN THE AFTERLIFE!" Methis jumps up on his hind legs, opens his mouth, and gets ready to make his final blow. Just as he was nearly to make impact a loud pulse was heard. He back up and stays quite. His eye wide and ears dropped when another loud pulse was heard. "What?" He clutches his teeth tightly as a great pain started to spread from his chest and reached each of his paws. "What is Happening to me!
"Have you forgotten of the time limit?"
Both wolf and Fox looked up to see a glowing rat running up to them from the mansion. When that rat stood in between the two, a light shine brighter to a blinding level. They both knew who it is. The Enchantress looks down to the wolf. "Once you place a spell on yourself, you had a limited time to undo the spell or else it would have ended you."
"You WITCH! You were here this whole time!? I forbidden you to come here." He whispered as another painful pulse has heard.
The Enchantress shakes her head. "No. You only forbid me of direct interference with those who you cursed. Now see where your deeds have led you?"
Methis grows at her until a dark beam shot out of his shoulder. Shocked he looked over to it until another beam shot out of his ribs. He looks up to the Enchantress. "Please! Have mercy on me!"
She just stares at him. "You mean show you the same mercy that you have shown everyone here tonight?"
The sorcerer ears dropped. The beams that covered his body start to glow brighter into a blinding light.
Once the light had faded, Grant was turn back into normal. He sits there shirtless, well a wear that of what just happen. He then looks up to speak to the enchantress but disappointed to find that she had disappeared. He wanted to know how she and Methis knew each other, but now he would never know.
Back at the castle Martha stared at herself in the mirror. Her face had nearly matched Elise's, her hair started to turn dark and change its shape. Her eyes were now a mix of green and blue. The very sight of it made her sick. "I look exactly like her, but when will it end?"
She continues to stare herself down until an unnatural breeze started to spin around her. She back away from the Mirror and looks down at her feet as the wind picks up. Thinking the worse, she closes her eyes and crouches down. A good minute pass when the wind disappeared. She glanced up she in shocked when she saw she was back to normal. "WHAT!?" She grits her teeth. "That Sorcerer is going to PAY for this!"
Inside the Mansion, everyone stood in silence. They had watched the discussion between Methis and the Enchantress.
Lewis looks at them all. "Is that it? Is it over?"
On spoke a sentence. The all looked at each other.
Miles was the first one to speak. "Well...Methis is gone. And Grant Is back to normal."
Noel eyes wide. "ELISE! I think I'd feel better if I knew how she's doing."
They all turn to Sylvia, Adam, and all studied her quietly, holding their breaths.
Her breathing was calm, her forehead was less sweaty, and she skin color was slowly coming back to normal. All that's left was - She slowly opens her eyes. Each blink shown more of their emerald color. She sits up straight and looks around until her eyes landed on one of her best friends. "Adam? What are you doing here?"
Vivian smiles. "She's okay!" Everyone but Herve cheers.
Sylvia hugs the raven-hair girl. "We were so worried that we were loosing you!"
The Three children ran to and practly tackled her. "ELISE!"
Elise smiles, a joyful tear runs down her cheek as she gives out a giggle. They all looked when the door opened. Slowly Grant enters the room, holding his coat and smiles at them. Every one congratulated and thanked him for what he has down. He smile and took their thanks. He looks away from the group and watched his fiancée stands up from the floor.
Elise smiles and rushes to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "GRANT! I love you so, so much!"
He holds her close, afraid if he lets her go he'd lose her again. "Elise."
Everyone in the room watched the lovers embrace each other, until Sylvia felt a tiny hand pull on her. Looking down she saw Demy watcher her with his big eyes. "What are we going to do now that the spell is broken?" Sylvia think. She knew that they shouldn't stay there any longer. With Magic all around them it'll be unwise to stay, even dangerous.
Adam looks to Sylvia. "You and everyone should come to the Castle. There's enough room for everybody. And We can find out where you guys belong. I'm sure your families are worried sick."
The queen smiles. "We'd love to. Thank you."
Miles glances over to Herve. "What about him? He was Methis' henchman."
Adam looks to Herve and thinks. "That would make him Methis' accomplice then. He would be put in the dungeon if we take him with us."
Elise looks towards Adam. "Martha's still in the Castle, isn't she?"
He looks at her. "Yes."
Elise nods, knowing what will happen to the spoiled princess once they arrive at the Castle.
