Chapter 30

Blinx watched from underneath her table as the banner caught fire.
Then, using her telekinesis she pulled it off the wall and let the long banner fly around the room like a serpent dragon.

People fell away from each other as it cut though the air between them.

She was enjoying the scene so much that she didn't see Snipe raising his mace to bring it down to the table, but she heard his roar and quickly rolled out from underneath before the wood splintered behind her.

The hood fell from her head as she stared up at him.
He stopped and stared down at her in return

"Hey, don't I know you?"

He didn't get a chance to think or say more as she flicked her wrist.
The burning banner curled around his feet and hurled him somewhere far away from her, preferably into a wall.

She moved her hands out in front of her slowly moving them in one direction, the banner following her movements. She threw her fingers forward and the banner threw itself forward, taking out a couple Talons, and she walked away.

She made way to the door, looking to escape when she was pulled back by a deathly grip on her arm.

"That was my brother!"
Ravess turned her to her and was shocked to see it was Blinx. Or to Ravess, Mistress Angelique.

A wicked grin began to form on Ravess' face "The Master will be pleased to see you again"

Just as Ravess was about to pull Blinx from the Ballroom, she was thrown forward as something struck her back. Someone grabbed Blinx' hand and pulled her away and out to the balcony.

"Stay out here. I'll protect you" Finn said trying to seem brave and failing to be flirtatious.

"Enough with the facade Finn. It's just me" Blinx said removing the hood.

Finn looked at her exasperated "Ah man! I thought it was someone cute! Whatever. Stay here and hide. You obviously can't look after yourself"

Blinx scoffed and rolled her eyes as Finn made his way back inside.

At one point she heard his familiar piercing girly shriek and smirked to herself

'Karma's a bitch, boy'

Five minutes later she could see the Talons and Lizard men running away through the gardens and taking off on their rides.

Finn came back a few minutes after with Aerrow.

Aerrow placed a hand on her shoulder and asked her if she was alright.

"Yeah, I'm fine" she replied
"Finn told me that Ravess tried to take you"
"Yeah, but Finn saved me"

Blinx gagged "I'm never saying that again"

It was too late for it to be taken back though and Finn was smiling like a madman.

"Can you think of any reason as to why Ravess would want to kidnap you?" Aerrow questioned

Blinx faulted and stared at him wide eyes, breathing hard.
Aerrow picked up quickly on her trepidation "I take it you do know"

Blinx looked away vaguely aware of the stinging sensation behind her eyes

"There's something I need to tell you and I don't know how you're gonna take it. I was so afraid to tell you, because I wasn't sure what you would think of me afterwards" her voice was fainter than a whisper and so full of fear.

Finn and Aerrow looked at each other in concern.
