The Disaster at Hexside

Chapter 8 - Avery

'Maybe actually try talking to him this time?' Lili suggests to us. Harmony and I look at each other as Lili leaves the room. I look at Tipp. He is looking around the room.
'Wow! I've never been in the healing classroom before! All this equipment is so cool!' He marvels.
'What track are you in, Tipp?' I ask, trying to start a conversation.
'I'm in the Plant track.' He answers. He gets up and starts wandering around the room.
'Maybe don't touch anything, it could be dangerous.' Harmony warns. Tipp wanders over to the door.
'Who wrote this?' He asks. He is pointing to the sign that Lili had put up earlier.
'Lili did, why?' I ask.
'It's funny' Tipp laughs, and bounds away to go look at something else.
'Wait.' He stops. 'Who's Lili?'
'She's the one who got you the Hex mix and the Apple Blood. She has pink hair.' I explain.
'Pink hair?' Tipp asks, looking scared. 'I remember seeing someone with pink hair when I got attacked!' I can see some of the colour leaving Tipp's face, and I guide him back to the bed he was on before. As soon as he lies down, Harmony is aggressively tapping my shoulder.
'What is it Harmony?' I ask, a bit annoyed. I turn around and see someone leaning against the door.
'That's them! That's the person that attacked me!' Tipp yells. Suddenly, a blast of dark blue magic hits Tipp and he's back unconscious. I run over to check on him, he's still breathing, but he's out like a light. I turn back to the person, just in time to see another blast hit Harmony square in the chest. I summon Snowball and make lots of illusions of myself that circle the person. All of us rush at him, attacking him. I can barely do anything, as I'm trying to keep my illusions solid. Out of nowhere, another blast hits me in the head, and I'm out cold.
