Into the Darkness

11: Traitor!

"Wake up. Rohan? Are you awake?" Priscilla's sweet voice slowly woke me up. I opened my eyes and looked at her.
"Hey. How was your sleep? Did you rest enough?" She smiled at me. I smiled back.
"I have slept terrific. And yes, I have had enough rest." I replied. I stood up.
"Ay, look who's up!" Aeryn turned around with a pan in her hand.
"Are you making another gross potion for me to regain my strength?" I jokingly said.
"Haha, no I'm cooking. I'm making eggs! I have chickens in my back garden and they laid fresh eggs." She replied.
Eggs. I haven't had a normal meal for a few days. I was really excited to eat the eggs, but also quite nervous after the soup-potion Aeryn gave me. I hesitantly sat down at the little table as she gave me a piece of wood with the egg on it. I took a piece of the egg and put it in my mouth. Thank god. It tasted amazing.
"You like it?" Aeryn asked. I nodded, chewing on the egg.

Leon and Luna came in. They had pieces of wood in their arms. The dropped it at the fireplace.
"Good morning, Rohan!" Luna happily said. Leon just patted my shoulder.
"Oh, good morning Luna!" I waved at her as I wiped my mouth with my other hand. Leon grabbed his stuff.
"Guys, pack up we have to go. We can't wait any longer. You never know where the Witch Council is or when they are going to attack." He said. He shoved me off of my chair and pushed my bag in my arms. He carefully helped Priscilla stand up from the bed. He was in a hurry. Suddenly, Aeryn started to pack her things. We looked at her.
"You're coming to?" Luna asked. Aeryn laughed.
"Well, of course my friend! You decided to come to me, so that means I'm coming along." Aeryn said smiling.
Luna smiled back at her and continued packing. When we were all packed, we went outside to continue our journey.

It was cold outside. My cloak was covered in snow. The forest looked wonderful in the white, sparkling snow. I looked up at the sky. It was already night and the stars were shining bright. I looked back down. I tried to keep myself warm, with out any luck. I was getting slower and colder with the minute. I opened my hand. I wanted to make a fire to keep my self warm, but all I got was a small flame. I sighed. Suddenly Leon stopped at an open space. He turned around, grinning. We looked at each other.
"Tut... tut... tut..." Leon said.
"Leon? Are you okay?" Priscilla worriedly asked. He looked at her. Leon took out his wand.
"You were right Rohan." He said. All eyes turned to me.
"Right in what exactly?" I asked confused. Leon grinned again.
"I'm untrustworthy." As he said that he yelled a spell and fired it a Priscilla. She fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"PRISCILLA!" Luna ran towards Priscilla and shook her. No response. Figures started to surround us. It was the Witch Council. Leon's clothes turned in to a purple-reddish robe. The Council got closer and started firing spells at us. I saw Aeryn change shapes and throwing some Council members in the air. I saw Luna firing spells at the Council. I tried to use my powers. It sometimes worked. Sometimes it didn't.

The ground started shaking as I rose up in the sky. I saw water beams starting to form around me. I looked down at my hands. They were made of... fire? I felt a big wind behind me. Was I using all my powers at once? I saw Council members disappearing. I pushed my hands forward, and my powers followed. It didn't take long. I felt exhausted and fell to the ground. Then, everything became black.
