I screamed in pain. My back was sliced in a million different places and the sweat rolling into the cuts burned terribly. But my front. My front was the worst. Where Nessa had plowed into me my skin was burnt black. My sword clattered to the ground and Nessa immediately kicked it out of my reach. I shuddered as the horrible woman once again took my body.
"FOOLS!" she shouted, "Do you honestly think I can be defeated even without my sword?" I couldn't see the looks on Meg and Nessa's faces but I was in a cloud of darkness. The woman let out a shriek and a sharp pain made me nauseous. "NO! I WON'T LEAVE!"
I wanted her out. She had to leave. I stood up in the darkness and changed direction. I could see light. I could feel it. I wanted it. I shot up, up and up. I could feel her resisting but with my body weakened she didn't have much of a chance. "GET OUT!" I screamed.
I could see. The green floor of the library, the deep wood walls, and the millions of books. I could feel my hands gripping the sides of my head and my knees, sore from being on the floor. I looked up. Meg and Nessa were staring at me cautiously, their weapons raised.
"You guys! Its me!" I made to stand up. "I'm so sorry!" Meggan took a step towards me, but Nessa grabbed her arm and pulled her back. I stayed on my knees.
"How do we know you're not going to just attack us again?" Nessa asked. I looked up at her, lost for words.
"I made a mistake! I didn't know that's what he was planning!" I stood up this time. Nessa made for my sword and grabbed it. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know!"
"Of course not," Meg said smartly, "You just thought it would be okay to abandon your friends and then attack them!"
"No…"
"No we get it!" They started to walk up the stairs.
"W-wait!" I tried to stand up but my legs were so tired. My arms were covered in scorch marks and I had a disgusting metallic taste in my mouth. They were on the balcony above me.
"Don't Rachel," Nessa said. She threw my sword over the edge. "Find us when you're ready to tell the truth." It clattered to the ground and they slammed through the door upstairs. I touched my hand to my mouth and pulled it away. There was blood.
