Chapter 10: Strawberries
Paul's POV
Drew's right, what should we do now? We can't go near them, there's strawberry essence all over the place and we can't even touch strawberries.
Urgh.
"Um...", Ash started.
"Not right now Ash. I'm thinking of a solution.", I said, annoyed.
"But-"
"Will you keep quiet Ash? I I'm trying to think."
Ash, loosing his patience screamed,"We can just use our powers!"
Drew and I were suddenly "enlightened". We facepalmed at ourselves for not being able to think of that. (Obviously Paul mentally facepalm)
Drew them went to check the area if there was anyone there. Luckily, no one was in sight. We quickly used our telekenisis to slowly and gently lift them up and we brought them out of their house and into ours as quickly as possible. Praying not to be seen.
After placing all the girls on the beds, Ash stepped forward to check their health and condition and when he did, the look on his face changed.
He looked as if he was about to cry.
Ash turned around facing Drew and I before saying, "I think they drank a huge amount of strawberries infused drink and we all know what a small touch of strawberries can do. But they had consumed so much, (probably not intentionally) that I'm afraid that they might not make it. They only have 3 days left."
Ash's POV
Tears streamed down my face after telling Paul and Drew the news. Even I could hardly believe this was happening. I didn't even tell her how I felt.
Looking around, I could see the girls almost lifeless body and I also see the rest of the boys tearing up. Drew seemed to be openly weeping and I even caught the normally uncaring Paul shed a few tears.
"Isn't there anything we can do?",Drew cried out desperately.
"I'm not sure...",I replied sorrowfully.
"There is a way, but-",Paul started.
"There is?! Tell us!",both Drew and I shouted cutting Paul off.
"As, I was saying, there is a way. Legend has it that there is a flower that heals anything regardless of how serious the illness of condition is. The flower is called Magimusealia. But, I will not allow any one of you to go looking for it. It's a dangerous journey, many has gone, but no one has ever came back alive.", Paul said seriously.
"No. We will go." Drew and I insisted.
"I will not stand here and do nothing for someone I love. And yes, I admit it. I love Misty. When I first saw her, it just clicked. I will go find that flower.", I confessed.
"Me too. I will not stand here. I will try to save her. Even if I die trying. At least when I'm gone, I'll be with May.", Drew added.
Paul gave in to his heart and also agreed to go look for the flower.
Paul, Drew and I all bend forward to Dawn, May and Misty, and kissed their foreheads, respectively.
We muttered these same words to each of them, "Stay strong and wait for us."
May's POV
Why is it so dark here?
Where am I?
All I remember I drinking some pink drink.
Voices.
I hear voices.
"Me too. I will not stand here. I will try to save her. Even if I die trying. At least when I'm gone, I'll be with May."
Wait, isn't that Drew?
And what did he just say?
He's willing to risk his life for me... he still protects me.
I remembered his promise years ago, although I doubt he remembers it.
Flashback:
"Oww", a 4 year old little May whined as she fell to the ground scraping her knee.
"May! Are you okay?", Drew asked worriedly as he rushed towards her.
"Grasshead it hurts!"
"Shh, it's okay, you won't fall anymore. I'll protect you.", Drew comforted.
"You promise?", she asked
"Promise."
They linked their pinky fingers together and sealed the promise.
Present time
He really cares for me, I can't kill him, I like him.
No,
I love him.
Misty's POV
Okay... So advice don't drink random pink drinks. It will bring you here. I have no idea where "here" is though.
Then Misty heard a voice from the outside world.
"I will not stand here and do nothing for someone I love. And yes, I admit it. I love Misty. When I first saw her, it just clicked. I will go find that flower."
Is that Ash?
He loves me?
Now that I know his feelings, I can't hide and ignore mine any either.
I like Ash.
Ever since he was 5 years old. When we first met.
I really don't want to kill him, but I have consequences if I don't. Plus, the other girls might not approve.
What am I going to do?
Dawn's POV
Great, we are in a dimension between living and dead...
How I know you ask?
Because I used my powers?
Anyways, I felt happy for the girls.
The boys love them, they should feel blessed. Now, they are all risking their lives for us. I guess vampires aren't evil and they don't deserve to be eliminated. They never actually harmed anyone before. They never drank too much blood from the victim that they die. They only drink just enough blood to keep them alive.
I think that they don't deserve to be "released".(If you don't understand, it basically means die)
I am aware of the consequences we would have to bear if we spare them, but I can't bring myself to kill such innocent creatures.
May and Misty love Drew and Ash each other respectively, but they can't be together.
We are human.
And they are vampires.
Humans die.
Vampires are immortal.
Plus, they think we're vampires. Once they find out that we are humans and trained assasins sent here to kill them, they'll probably be angry.
No scratch that, they will be fuming and they will have no chance to be together.
Haizz...
I just hope the boys will stay safe.
I am really grateful for them to be seeking out the Magimusealia flower. It's really rare and the journey to finding it is harsh. I know I'm dying. But I'll gladly die if it means that the boys will stay safe. I hope they're all okay.
Ash's POV
Okay... So we are at the bottom of Musical Mountain and supposedly, to get the flower, we have to climb up it. There is also something about purity, dedication and sacrifice.
Not sure what that means though. But this seems easy. I mean seriously, how hard can climbing a mountain be?
Third Person POV
And with that, Ash, Drew and Paul begin their journey up.
In search for Magimusealia, the healing flower.
Author's note:
I'm sorry if you guys are still confused as to why they guys haven't figure out that the girls aren't human and also why the girls faint upon drinking the "pink solution", but all will be revealed in due time.
Please don't mind the errors.
No flames
Please review
and
Stay happy readers! (*ω*)
