Dragon's curse

chapter eighty

I am so tired I could die right now. I just want to go to bed and not worry about what the others will decide to do tomorrow with Ash and Sam. It is harder than it looks staying up for two whole days without sleep and to make things worse, I don’t think the others trust me at all but I don’t think they trust Sam any more either. 

The next day, Jaff slowly woke up to the sound of people frantically moving around outside of his room. Jaff slowly got up from his bed and got ready for the day smiled.

Jaffs ears twitched as he heard someone say from behind his door in a low whisper, “I think we should give Jaffs plan a try. You heard what that skinwalker said about Sam when he tried to sabatash Jaffs plan.”

Jaff sighed as he got ready for the day and quickly walked out of his room silently. He then walked over to Ash’s room in an instant and quickly walked into the room to see Electro leaning against one of the walls as he slept peacefully. 

Jaff asked, “Electro? Are you awake?”

There was no reply as he got closer to Ash’s bed silently and asked, “Ash, can you hear me?

For a moment there was silence before Ash slowly said “Yes.”

“Good, I have a plan to save you but you just need you to hold on just a little longer. I… I want to ask you something when this is all over and I hope you will give me an answer.” Jaff said calmly as he walked away from the bed.

Ash slowly said “I will be… waiting.”

Jaff smiled as he walked out the door and started walking towards Fire Hill silently as he watched people get ready for the spell. As soon as Jaff left the room, Electro slowly woke up from his slumber and slowly stretched his achy muscles while trying to stay silent as if not to wake Ash. Electro slowly walked out of the room silently and shut the door behind him, he slowly started walking towards Fire Hill. Once Jaff and Electro reached Fire Hill, they saw that there were almost all of Ash’s friends sitting in as sercole.

Jaff asked “Should we wait for the other three?”

Rin sighed as she said instantly, “Yea, we should wait for the others so we can make a proper decision.”

Twenty minutes later, the three remaining people slowly took their places in the sercole silently as they watched Jaff walk into the middle of the sercole.

Jaff asked, “So did you all make a decision?”

There was a long moment of silence before Lin replied, “Yes we made a decision.”

Rin sighed as he said “We will try this spell of yours but if it does not work then we are going to do Sam’s plan.”

Jaff smiled as he said instantly, “That sounds good to me. To make your decision on who will be the sacrifice, I nominate myself.”

Electro quickly siad “No way, we should do the person that came up with this sacrificing plan. So Sam should be sacrificed.”

Lin instantly said “I would normally agree with you but Jaff is taking a big risk with Ash’s life. He should pay if this does not work.”

Gray yelled in anger, “That is bull shit and you know it. We shouldn’t even do a sacroficing spell, it is black magic!”

Black sighed as he said “This spell should work but if it doesn’t, we should come up with a back up plan just in case but not a sacrificing spell.”

“How about this, if the spell does not work then we can go to the Justice of Light Cort and ask them for some spell books that may help us.” Said Akatsuki calmly. 

There was a long moment of silence before Death said “I think we should do it, we should go to the Justice of Light Cort as a last resort.”

Suddenly, people frantically whispered to each other as they tried to decide on what they should do. Jaff stood silently as he waited for people to make their decision and he was surprised that Death spoke up. 

Three hours later, Lin said “Alright, you win Death. We will go with your plan for now but there is only so many times we can do the spell wrong and have Ash sleep for three days.”

Death sighed as she said “I know that but I refuse to sacrifice someone so Ash can live a better life, she wouldn’t want that.”

“Maybe so but some of us will do what it takes to save Ash no matter the cost.” One of Ash’s friends as she stood silently.

Wolf instantly said “Then you shouldn’t be considered one of Ash’s friends at all let alone one of her family members.”

Another one of Ash’s friends said in anger, “Hey, what gives you the right to say that to us? You are nothing but a monster that shouldn’t live in this world.”

Black took two steps forward as he asked in anger, “You want to go?”

Ash’s friend replied while walking up to Black until she was standing a few feet from him, “Bring it puppy dog!”

Electro yelled, “That’s enough.” Everyone instantly looked at Electro as he continued, “Death is right, if we sacrifice someone for a stupid spell that may or may not work then how better are we from Slit. We might as well be going by his name at this point for even thinking of using dark magic.”

Suddenly, everyone went silent before three of Ash’s friends said “You said it yourself, you need us to do this spell. So we have an advantage to save Ash by our way and sacrifice someone.”

Suddenly a voice rang out from the distinct and said “No May, Flisk and Jann.”

My, Flisk and Jann quickly stood up as they turned to see who was talking to them. A surprised look came across their face as they watched Flin help Ash walk towards them as she breathed heavily with exhaustion.

May asked, “What do you mean no Ash, you should be resting.”

Ash sighed once they stopped walking once they were only a few feet from May and said with a hint of anger in her voice “I don't want you to be my friend or part of my family any more. I don’t want a family member of a friend that will sacrifice someone so they can save my life.”

“But..” May stated.

Ash quickly interrupted May and said “I want you out of here along with Flisk and Jann, Now.”

Flisk sighed as she started to walk away, May and Jann followed silently. Once they were gone Ash’s legs collapsed to the ground from exhaustion and Flin quickly coughter her just in time before she fell to the ground instantly.

Ash said “I’m alright Flin.”

Death sighed as she asked, “Now with those three gone, have we made a decision?”

Everyone except for Jaff and Ash said simultaneously, “Yes.”

Jaff sighed with relief as he said “Alright, first thing tomorrow we will do the spell.”

Death smiled as she said “Alright.”

She instantly helped Flin cary Ash back to the cabin while everyone else went to their tents silently with an exhausted look on their faces.
