The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

things are getting worse

POV Hilda

Patrick was in no state to lead us right now, still recovering from his fight with Crystal, which left us at a massive disadvantage if Lilith was coming back to finish her brother. well I'm not sure we can stop. 

whatever Lilith had done to Shizuku had hurt her a lot, and I agree with Sheila, that Lilith needed to die. I fully intend to do. Azura was working in her lab, working on a weapon that should stun Crystal. 

Meeps and her lot were all gathered together, talking or planning, I know she blamed herself for what happened to Charlie and Crystal, I didn't blame her, and I felt sorry for her, after all, Charlie got in the way to save her.

then there was Kyle, walking around without a clue, and I sware he's gotten dumber, Kyle was never the smartest, but now he was almost on the level of Alex, almost that was. as far as anyone could tell he has no memories of his life. 

what was more interesting was the fact no one had worked out who brought him back from the dead. he was alive, not undead, he even still had the robot eye Charlie built him, apparently, he heard an old voice...although he later referred to Lyria and then Shizuku as old so I don't think he knows what old means. 

no one knows if Ceris was going to make it, she was crippled and badly injured. Gwendoly had done what she could the injuries from an anti-magic sword made healing her with magic near impossible, not even Nostra know how to treat her anymore. 

I had Lyria on my mind a lot, she was suffering a lot, and I wanted to be there to help her, but I just didn't know-how. she spent 10 minutes crying the other day. I sighed and grabbed my mace, I want to hit something.  

so as I walked into the hallway, and suddenly alarms started to ring. the guards standing about jumped into action, I pulled my Mace, wanting to learn what was attacking us rushed onto the roof. 

Lyria, Sheila, Meeps, Daryll and both Kyles were up there. and what was out the side the walls of frostbourne. I stopped letting out a gasp of air. the sea of zombies swarming out for miles. reinforced by pillagers and spiders. "that's a lot of zombies," Lyria said. 

there was a swoosh noise and phantoms swooped down at us, I smacked one in the head with my mace killing it. Lyria stumbled back and stabbed the one going for her. Shelia straight up sliced two of them in half. Nether Kyle struggled but eventually stabbed the one attacking him and somehow killed the one attacking Emo Kyle at the same time. 

"Did you think they've breached the wall?" Emo Kyle asked. an explosion went off under us. "That would be a yes," he muttered. 

my grip tightened around the mace. "come on we need to help the others, Lyria get to elytra core, get them up and fighting the phantoms," I ordered. Lyria nodded and took off with her elytra's. then my heart stopped as something hit her and she fell from the sky. "LYRIA!" I screamed watching her fall. 

Now I was really angry. I went storming through the hallways, we all split up our ways, fighting the undead attacking the dreadfort, I smashed serval zombies walking through. then a guard was sent flying around the corner ahead with lightning bolts. I turned the corner to find Crystal standing there. 

Crystal looked terrible. her grey hoodie is pretty much destroyed, her old white top was stained red, and even her brown hair was stained red. a darker red than her red glowing eyes. my breath caught in my throat and I was scared of facing an enemy for the first time in a long time, Crystal was my friend, and this isn't like fighting the Entity or the Nether. "Hello Crystal, you've looked better," I answered. 

Crystal turned to me raising her sword. "I've felt better," She answered. 

I didn't raise my mace. "you don't have to do this Crystal, put the weapon, we can fix all this," I said. I wanted to give her the chance Partick and Rain didn't.
