The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

spies in the camp

POV Azura 

the war room was so wrong without Patrick, It felt so wrong and I know at least 1 of the people I couldn't trust, a spy in the room, a fly on the wall, Ember, both Kyles, Nina, Jun, Sheila and Alex were all here. 

then Stella, Lyria, Abigail, Kane, Rain, Hilda, Gwendoly, Lance, Lucas and Wolf were also here, Shizuku wasn't and I'm not sure why. Andrew wanted to talk to Zen about something, what about I don't know. 

"So why are we all here?" Hilda asked. 

I laid out the map Gewndoly had gotten us. "We know Crystal is here somewhere in the nether, we know what she's looking....okay we know her destination, we need to beat her there," I said

"Question?" Ember said. 

"Yes?" I asked. 

"If Patricks out for the count, who's in charge?" he asked me. 

a few hours earlier

Hilda, Lyria, Rain and Stella were talking when I arrived. "Hilda, with Patrick recovering, you're in charge," I said. 

Hilda stared at me for a long moment. "Yeah fuck no, I'm running this stress job, With this power, I leave you in charge," She said. 

Stella was covering Lyria's ears. "HILDA! DON'T SWEAR IN FRONT OF LYRIA!" 

I stared at Ember for a moment and felt Hilda's eyes on me. "I am," I answered. 

Gwendoly stared at the map. "So how are we gonna get there? 

"Good question, I really don't know, I was thinking you and Lance could transport us there?" I said. 

"That many of you? we'll be getting a few of you in there, but we'll probably pass out before long," Gwendoly explained. 

I looked back at the map. "Any ideas?" 

"Scouts report the nether is caught up in a massive battle, who's ever in charge in there deiced it would be a good idea to go to war with Crystal's...Sorry, but what was she calling her self?" Hilda asked.

"The forsake," Lyria answered. 

"Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit weird that Crystal decided to rename the undead?" Ember asked. 

"That's not remotely important," I said. 

Rain Shrugged. "See it's the fact that she's completely changed her dressed style, I mean she looks like she stole the clothes from Lyria, well expect the size, Crystal is way too big for Lyria's actual cloth," he said. "In more ways than one," he mumbled. 

Stella lightly slapped his arm. "But he has a  point, she is dressing like a knock...."

"CAN WE GET BACK TO THE PROBLEM?" Sheila yelled.

"I don't think she's dressed anything like me," Lyria said. 

"ENOUGH!" Hilda yelled. "For once I agree with the badass, yet annoying princess over there," she said. 

"Okay so does anyone know a way we can get to the right part of the nether before Crystal does?" I asked. 

Lucas stepped forward. "I do, the castle of my people, well it's ruins, we have a massive portal that leads to the edges of the nether, near one of these entrances marked," he explained. 

Wolf stepped forward. "I see it like this, that place has abounded now for a while, I can leave now and scout out the area, make sure no hostiles have moved......" Wolf cut off as the door burst open.

"Ahh you're all here already I see, well that makes it easy," Charlie said walking in and going over to the table, shortly after him, Ciara walked in and went over to Kane.
