Ch. 9 All’s Fair In Love and War (Yeah, Right)

I stood surrounded. I tensed myself and prepared to move, standing silently. I made my move.

”Bye guys!” I blurted before running for my life. I couldn’t take on 7 Gastly! That would be suicide! And I wasn’t gonna die before English class. Three words. Best…brownies…ever!

I turned around a corner, and I suddenly heard a voice telling me to duck. What the heck. It’s not like I’ve got anything better to do.

I got down as I heard a voice call out, ”Bubble!” and one Gastly was down. I looked to see that it was Harper. I saw in front of me was Nelly.

”About time!” I yelled, turning to face the Gastly.”Show up when I’m running for my life!”

”Whatever.” Harper said, landing next to me. The Gastly had surrounded us again. I backed up slowly, and then all three of us met at a point, back to back.

It was quiet.

”Two for each?” Harper asked quietly.

”I was hoping you’d say that.” I grinned.

And we started kicking butt. I got my two and hit them with a Scratch to aggravate them. Then when they approached, I spun in place, striking. ”Rapid Spin!”  And like that my work was done.

Harper ran, attacking with her bubble as she kept them moving. One was already out, and as the other approached, she leaped forward, bringing her wing down on it’s head with a ”Pound!”

Nelly, on the other hand, flew around, keeping them moving fast, and then charged back towards them, where they were unable to stop. ”Spark!” And the last two were down.

I looked as they left. ”We were awesome, but where’s Adrian? He never showed up.”

”Forget about it.” Harper said, and we headed back to the building. We were coming up to the front door when Harper turned, then kissed me on the cheek. I stopped cold.

”By the way,” she smirked,”I got 3 of them. One more than you.” And then turned to the door.

For a second, I didn’t move. Then what she said registered in my head.

”What’s that supposed to mean, huh!?!?” I said to her. ”Well? WELL!? HEY, COME BACK HERE!!!!!”
