"Scarher is like witches they deal with magic, it might use some of your sister's aura for a potion or something." She said.

"What!!!!!!" I exclaimed loudly.

"Lower your voice, you will get us caught, any mess made we will need to clean it, especially you, so it will look more believable because right now you look like a liypher." She said in a low voice.

"I'd say we stay out of sight, I don't want to have to do that," I told her.

"Alright come this way." She said and pulled me along with her, we stayed at the back of an abandoned cabin.

"I don't think waiting for nightfall is a good idea, we should stay next to the cabin in case my sister goes in or out of it," I told her impatiently, that we need to act fast.

"Patience—" she started.

"We are going to stay close to the cabin in case my sister goes in or out of it!! Got it?!" I said firmly.

"If not that my life source is in your hands I won't dare go on this suicide mission with you." She said with a loud sigh.

"Yeah I got that part," I said and we stayed close to the cabin and kept watch on the entrance trying not to look like we are spying or stalking the Scarher.

We soon got tired of standing while keeping watch, I looked to my side and saw Desire sitting on the ground, I joined her and sat down, I am exhausted, I soon saw a weird creature, it was so lean that I could see the outline of its skeleton, it has grey skin and a white hair that looks like it could fall out if it gets
"What creature is that?" I asked with a chuckle as Desire looked to see who I was talking about, she then all of a sudden looked worried and stiffened.

"What's wrong?" I asked getting on edge.

"That creature is your sister.....the Scarher must have taken some of her aurae." She said and I turned pale and froze from shock, she looked like a walking dead, I felt a pang in my chest and my eyes began to water as I watched her move around slowly and weakly.

"Let's go talk to her, no one will question that as we are a liypher, come on and pull yourself together, stop showing emotion or you will get caught." She said getting frustrated.

We walked to Bridget and she looked at me, stupidly expecting her to recognize me, how can she when I have a disguise on?

"Who are you?" She asked in a hoarse voice, weak and low voice but I didn't miss the sassiness in it, yup that's Bridget alright.

"We know you are a human confused as a liypher, we want to help you, it looks like that Scarher is suffering you, we can help you get away." Desire told her softly in a whisper while I just stood there feeling useless.

"Really?", she asked hopefully "but how can I trust you?" She asked narrowing her small lifeless eyes at us.

"You are a twin to a guy, does that ring a bell?" Desire said staring at her intensely.

"You know Harper?" She asked with a hint of joy in her voice.

"Yes and I can take you to him." She said with a smile.

"Okay let's go to him." She said not knowing that I am standing right in front of her, I decided to keep my cool until we are out of sight.
We started walking I am guessing we began our journey to where the elf are, we kept walking till we saw a stream.

"What are we doing here? I thought you are taking me to my brother." She said looking around.

"I am but first drink from this stream it will give you back your aura that was taken." Desire said and took the wooden thing that I drank water from, what do I call it? A bottle? Anyways she plunged it into the stream and fetched water into it. Weird enough I didn't know there was a stream here.

"Here drink this." Desire instructed, she took it from her and gulped it down slowly.

She drank the whole thing and gave back the bottle to her. After a couple of minutes her stature and form returned, the Bridget I knew was back, with plump lips, long dark hair, every guy's dream.

"I feel much better!!" She yelped loudly as her form came back fully.

"You are pretty." Desire praised her fueling her pride, great!

"Yeah I know, so where is my ass of a brother, he better come and gives me a reasonable explanation about all these, and what took him so long to come to get me? He is a jerk!!!" Bridget ranted, yeah she is back.

"Here is your brother." Desire motioned to me.

"No way that dork is my brother—" She was abruptly interrupted.

"Hey, guys I found the fleshling over here!!!" A Mashgore yelled staring at Bridget.

"Oh no we need to leave now!!" Desire said and we were prepared to start running until Bridget killed the vibe.

"I am not going anywhere with you two bitches!!!" She said with a straight face she is so rude, I think I preferred her when didn't have most of her aura.

"Oh yeah, why don't you go back to where we picked you from!" I told her and she looked surprised.

"Harper!" She yelped.

"Come on let's go now!" I told her and we strapped up our things again and went somewhere to hide all the while Bridget stared at me weirdly.

"You go left, follow him, I and the rest will go right, we will meet back in the middle." A Mashgore instructed.

"We can't outrun them while it's so easy for them to spot you, so you will have to mask up just like your brother is masked up." Desire said.

"So who exactly will tell me what is going on?!" She asked in one of those her bitchy attitude.

"Quit being a bitch for a second and calm down, mask up, and get dressed, we need to seek shelter it's almost nightfall," I told her rudely. She masked up and wore one of Desire's attire.

"Are you done can I turn around now?" I asked impatiently.

"Yes, dork and why are these clothing so itchy and ugly where did you get them from? The sewers?" She asked with a glare.

"Let's move, be stealth and quick, there is a small clearing close to this place, come on." Desire said ignoring Bridget's comment, we moved fast but quietly and blandlyached the clearing.

"We will camp here for the night we will wake up very early, I'll quickly whip up something for us to eat while you set the tent." Desire instructed.

"And me? What do I do?" She asked with her hands on her hips.

"Do what you do best, be useless," I said with a smirk.

"You are an imbecile!!" She said flashing me a sarcastic smile.

"Whatever! Now that I think of it I should have just left you where you were, you ingrate!!" I yelled at her feeling hurt and upset, she didn't utter as much as a 'thank you'

"How dare you?!!" Bridget yelled loudly and the Mashgores that were close heard her, just our luck.

"I heard a voice coming from that direction." A mashagore said.

"Are you sure?" The other asked.

"Certain." It said. We are in big trouble now.

"Go with these two, I'll come to meet you with backup, do not let them escape, we will corner them from all sides and even in the middle." It instructed. We are done for.

"Got it." The other one said and sprang into action.
