Chapter 13
Three More
Tinkerbell: Sora? Sora can you hear me?
Vidya: He fainted...
Tink carefully lifts Sora's unconcious head into her lap.
Silvermist: Careful with his head
Iridessa: Yeah thats a pretty nasty wound on his cheek
Fawn: I must apologize for Gruff's behaviour! Everyone this is Gruff!
Fawn pets Gruff who remained a rather large animal even without the darkness in his heart.
Silvermist: but that wasn't really him was it?
Fawn: Well...obviously not! See look how friendly he is now!
Gruff runs up towards the fairies and Sora's life-less body excitedly causing them all to panic. Vidya quickly flies into the air.
Vidya: Careful! He could squish us all!
Rosetta: He still looks scary to me!
Fawn: I'm sorry on behalf of Gruff, he means no harm really! Do you Gruff?
Gruff snorts before turning around and walking away
Fawn: Well at least i think he does! Wait where are you going Gruff? Come back here!
Silvermist: Maybe he is going back to where you found him!
Fawn: I'll follow him! He might be on a trail! in fact, he might lead me to the Queen and to Sora's friends! Oooooo this is exciting! Catch you girls later!
Rosetta: Wait Fawn! You not going on your own are you? Particularly with that Larxene girl around!
Tinkerbell: We cannot all go, particularly with Sora like this!
Iridessa: Me and Vidya will go with Fawn, you, Rosetta and Silvermist look after Sora. If we run into that Larxene girl, i'll just shed my light on her!
Vidya: Come on Iridessa, we need to keep moving if we are to catch up with Fawn! See you guys soon!
Iridessa and Vidya fly off with Fawn who was far ahead of them following Gruff leaving Tinkerbell, Rosetta and Silvermist behind with Sora.
Rosetta: Be careful! Come back safe!
Silvermist: Vidya's right, might be an idea to get Sora out of here before Gruff comes back and squishes us!
Tinkerbell: Let's take him to my house as its the closest and we can all tend to his wounds the pixie way!
Silvermist: Healing magic?
Tinkerbell: You bet ya!
Rosetta: I can whip up some herbal tea that might make him feel better
Tink, Rosetta and Silvermist fly Sora to Tink's house to tend to his wounds. While Vidya and Iridessa catch up to Fawn and Gruff. They follow him for ages even noticing a few strange looking rock piles along the way until they come to a dark looking forest.
Iridessa: This forest is creepy
Vidya: You not scared are you?
Iridessa: Maybe just a little, i've never been in this part of Pixie Hallow before
Vidya: Nethier...it sure is pretty dark, how are we gonna find Fawn and Gruff here?
Iridessa: Maybe some light will do the trick?
Iridessa formed a small beam of light from her hand to light up their way.
Vidya: That's much better! Thank Iri!
Iridessa: No problem, they do not call me the light fairy for nothing!
Vidya: There! I see them! Fawn!
Iridessa: Looks like they are heading towards that cave looking tree stump. FAWN!
Vidya and Iridessa finally have caught up with their animal fairy friend and her furry friend.
Fawn: Oh hey guys!
Gruff: RUUUFFF!
Fawn: Its ok Gruff! Their friends, they will not hurt you!
Vidya: Is this where you found him?
Fawn: Yeah, the other day! I just simply followed a noise and it lead me to him! It was like he was calling for help as he had a fawn stuck in its paw. Poor thing was madly licking it.
Iridessa: Is he better now? How did the fawn get removed!
Fawn: Well i...i...ah managed to get it out myself! He wouldn't allow me at first and kept shooing me away. At first i thought he was trying to eat me!
Vidya: Hmmmm the thought of Gruff trying to eat us was the first thought i got when i first met him...
Iridessa: Was this before he turned evil?
Fawn: Yes it was! He is no longer a fairy eating creature! Are you Gruff! Your safe and non harmful now!
Gruff was completely ignoring Fawn and had began to walk off back into the cave tree stump. Vidya and Iridessa then notice someone with a black hood appear behind Fawn.
Vidya: Ummm sure about that?
Fawn: What do you mean?
Larxene: Hmmmmm three more victims to kidnap!
Fawn froze in horror.
Iridessa: Its you!
Larxene: I just love it when things just come to you and i can't thank you enough for bringing the Neverbeast back for me! Argh that light! That totally needs extinguishing!
Larxene clicks her fingers and Iridessa's ball of light went out.
Iridessa: EEP!
Fawn: Maybe a good time to fly!
Vidya: Let's get out of here!
Larxene: Not so fast! FREEZE!
On command the three fairies froze soild and were now in the hands of Larxene. Even Vidya a fast flying fairy wasn't quick enough to flee from Larxene's clutches!
Larxene: Perfect! Three more fairies, who would've thought that kidnapping fairies would be so easy! Hey Neverbeast?
Gruff wasn't listening, he had just gone to sleep within the tree cave.
Larxene (smacking her forehead): Awkward!
