Chapter 13

Nick's Point of View

We each ran into different houses to help the people get out, even if they can't see us. Running to a house closest to the volcano, I found a little girl crying in her bed. She looked up at me and I realized then that she can see me. I would have laughed in excitement over someone actually being able to see me, besides the Guardians, but I knew I had a job to do. Not knowing what language she spoke didn't matter, because she knew what I was trying to say, and jumped into my arms as soon as I went down to pick her up. Running with an extra weight on my shoulders wasn't easy, especially with the lava right behind us. I was getting close to the others, until I saw Daisy's horrified expression.

"Behind you!" She shouted and just as I went to look, I tripped over a branch in my way which resulted in me and the little girl falling.

I looked up and saw what Daisy was freaking out about. I fireball was coming my way. The little girl screamed as she saw it and I ran towards her. Then just when I thought we were going to die, I looked up and saw the fireball was floating in place.

"Your doing it!" Daisy shouted and I didn't understand what she meant.

It only took me a moment to understand what she was saying. I was using magic to stop it from coming towards us. However, the magic I was using to keep it in place, was weakening and I really tired from the ordeal. Just as it was officially going to crash into us, a big patch of dirt flew up towards it and made it die out. Looking over, I saw Daisy's hands raised and had a look of determination in her face. Then everything went black as I fell into the most unwanted sleep.

Raina's Point of View

Seeing how the wind didn't help, I began to think of what will. Knowing there wasn't enough water for me to use, I thought of about using earth and then I heard a voice.

"Raina." The voice said and I looked around for where it was coming from.

"I know that voice, why don't you show yourself instead of hiding in the shadows like a coward." I said and Pitch stepped out of the shadows.

"Well Raina you certainly don't enjoy it when people are trying to have fun." Pitch said, with his usual evil grin plastered on his face.

"Well kind of fun usually ends up people getting killed." I retorted, raising my sword towards him.

"Now sister, I have only come to deliver a message." Was his reply, not even a little scared of my sword.

I knew he also came to taunt me and it only raised my anger a little higher than usual. Deciding to let him talk, I kept my sword raised in case he tries to do something.

"If you've come to tell that you and your master had a part of the volcano erupting, don't worry about telling me because I had figured it out a long while ago." I said, trying to keep his taunts to a minimum.

"I knew you would have figured it out, but that's not what I have to tell you." He replied, looking out at the scenery below with a smile on his face.

"Then say it." I said, wanting this conversation to be over.

"Razan wants you to know this. No matter how many places you try to save or any living thing you try to protect from his wrath, he will always be one step ahead of you. Let's face it Raina, you and those who follow you are not strong enough to fight him while trying to keep the world from plunging into darkness. Even the boy is not strong enough for a fight against my master, because the more he doubts himself, the more stronger Razan becomes. You know what my master is capable of and he has sent me to make a deal with you. Surrender to us and he will keep you alive. If you do not, well I will not tell you all the things he can do to you." He said all this with a smile on his face and chuckled to himself as he said the last part.

"You and your master are monsters." I said and he laughed at that and grabbed my shoulder as I started to feel it burning.

"We will give you three weeks to think it all over." He said and faded into the shadows.

Looking at my shoulder, I could see a hand print was burned onto my skin. Feeling more angry than usual, I yelled as a fireball was heading my way and made it fly back to where it came from. Raising my hands, I forgot my fear of using fire magic and did something I didn't know I was capable of. I created a giant fireball from all the lava that came from the volcano and sent it up into the sky, using what strength I had left to send earth and water, from the clouds, to engulf it and make it into a giant bolder, which then fell into the volcano entrance. Feeling drained from what I had done, I fell to the ground and began to lose consciousness.

Jack's Point of View

The glacier I was standing on was reduced to a thin piece of ice, which made me fly up into the air and use my staff to freeze it as the best I could. I looked over at Raina and thought I saw her talking to herself, but didn't have time to ponder it. Thinking that being so close to the top of the volcano won't help my magic, I flew over towards Delilah as she did her best to stop it with Henry and Adam at her side. Adam appeared to be having the time of his life a he protected his party. I felt tired, but kept going as the lave reached one of the houses.

"This is no use, Jack our magic isn't strong enough to stop the lava." Delilah said, looking more tired than usual.

"That's because you two don't have fire... Magic" Adam was about to say, but stopped as he saw the fire floating upwards.

We looked, just as the fire from the top of the volcano flew up into the air and created a giant fire ball. Then both water and earth surrounded it, making it into a giant bolder. The bolder then fell into the volcano, blocking it's entrance and hopefully, sealing it forever. I heard cheering and saw the people of the village coming back in. Luckily only a few houses were destroyed, which I knew was something the people can fix. I looked over at my friends who went to get the people out and saw them all hugging each other, which I would had smiled at the sight if I wasn't worried for Raina. Jut when I was going to go look for her, I heard wings flapping as I saw Tooth flying towards us, with Raina in her arms. Running towards her, I took Raina from Tooth's hands and felt relieved to know she was alright.

After a long while of seeing if the people were going to be alright, we got back into the sleigh. I looked at Raina, who was sleeping through all of this, and then I looked at Nick as he waved to a little girl in her parent's arms and she waved back.

"You ok?" I asked him, and he just nodded in response.

"You should have seen him, he used his magic to stop the..." Daisy was about to talk about what had transpired, but Delilah interrupted her.

"Hey Daisy, why don't we wait to tell each other what happened till after everyone gets some sleep." Delilah suggested and Daisy went quiet as she agreed with the suggestion and we rode the rest of the way to Raina's home in silence.

Authors Note: HEY guys I'm back again after celebrating the New Year. Happy New Year! I found out I won't be going back to college until the fourteenth, so that means more time for updates. So thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to see some reviews
