The Broken Myth

Chapter Nine

                                                                Tiffany

Leo's carrying Maxine and we're sprinting down to hall towards the exit. We needed to get out fast before the rest of the pack catches up to us. We didn't bring  enough fairy's  to fight off the whole pack!

It would be so much easier if we didn't have Maxine because then we could just transform and get out the way we came in. Hopefully Dolores understands that and knows to meet us at the front if we can make it in time. We take a sharp right and the spell that was keeping our steps silent is waring off! We are so lucky we haven't run into the rest of the pack yet because if we did then we'd be knocking at deaths door.

I can see the exit and I feel like I get a boost of energy to speed up. We crash through the doors out of breath from running. Hopefully that dish soap fooled one of the werewolves back there to slow them down. 

I look around for Dolores and at first I can't find her. I get anxious and call out her name but all I hear come back at me is silence. I know she's smart enough to know we couldn't get out the way we came in, so she should be right here waiting. I hear a slight drop and Leo gasp. I look over and noticed he has set Maxine down while staring at something. 

I follow his gaze to find what he's  staring at... Dolores. She's spiralled in bloody grass making gasping noises like she can't breath. A shriek slips my mouth out of horror. I hear running and yelling coming from inside of the abandoned cabin and realize the rest of the pack has been alerted.

I look over to Leo and see the panic in his eyes. Dolores is the plan creator and usually keeps us in line.

"I'll hold them off for as long as I can! Try and keep Dolores alive, grab Maxine and Make a portal! We can't fail our mission!" Leo exclaim's.

He runs over to the doors without another word and starts using the strongest binding spell he knows to keep the doors closed, Good. I was given instructions and now I have to follow them. I run over to Dolores and feel her pulse which is faint but still beating. What the hell happened to her?! I needed to stop the bleeding so I rip of my sleeve and tighten it over her wound  and apply pressure. I don't  see her satchel though! She keeps a bunch if spell stuff in it!

I look around frantically and it looks like someone threw it out of her reach across the grass. I scramble over and dig around inside it to try and find something to help. I find  'Scorchtosin' which is a medicine that sends a tingling sensation through the body to preserve the person for 10 minutes. This will do the trick.

I crawl back over to Dolores and can hear Leo shouting at me "I can't hold it for much longer so hurry the hell up!" 

I tip her head up and whisper for her to hang in there. I put a drop into her mouth and closed it so she can swallow. I see the noticeable discomfort on her face as it goes down and then the relaxation. Good. 

I get up and turn over to the field of grass and close my eyes. I relax my body and take a deep breath. I open my eyes and grow thorn vines up out of the ground to form a circle. With a little sparkle magic a green sparking consistency appeared in the middle if the circle.

I run over to Dolores and carefully pick her up. The magic is only going to work for so long. I shout over to Leo "I'M READY! LET'S GO!" 

He turns around immediately, quickly swinging Maxine over his shoulders and we run into the portal together back to the fairy colony.

                                        Leo 

Carrying Maxine is easy because she's super small and light. Not what I expected a dog to be like. Tiffany and I sprint down the hallways. I think she's thinking the same thing, we can't go back the way we came. That means we have have to go out by using the front doors and not the window.

We take a sharp turn and it's surprising that the rest of the pack hasn't been alerted besides the ones we past as we were leaving. I hope that Dolores realizes she can't meet us by the window. She's smart so she should figure it out. I have to have a little faith. 

I see the exit and Tiffany speeds up so I did the same. We crash through the doors together and now we are so close to completing our mission!

There's a gasping noise coming from somewhere though that catches my attention. I look around startled and notice it's coming from Dolores! A gasp leaks from my lips. Was she- no she shouldn't- she can't be dead- but then I realize thankfully there are rapid short breaths coming from her. Small ones but they're there. I can hear running and shouting from inside the abandoned cabin as well. Not good! The rest of the pack has been alerted!

I look over at Tiffany and she's completely frozen, probably of shock. She's a complete instructions girl though, she probably has no clue what to do because it messes with our plan completely. We can't fail this mission. Can't fail our kind. I won't let it happen. I'm not a screw up.

"I'll hold them off for as long as I can! Try and keep Dolores alive, get Maxine and make a portal! We can't fail our mission!" I yell. She snaps back to reality. I need to trust her that she can do it while I hold the doors.

I need to think of the strongest spell I know. Spells aren't my strong suit but it doesn't mean I'm incapable of making one. Common Leo, think-think-think.... The chiaso binding spell! It's a complicated one but will definitely do the trick. I close my eyes and take a deep breath to relax. I open my eyes and let my self elevate a little. The tricky part is next. I point my pointer fingers together like a fake gun at the door and started chanting. 

" Creatures to thy queen we bow. Save the binding. Lend me power To protect us. With them I bow down down to thy. Nay I pray you lend me your gracious power through thy dirt, plants and sky."

Before I know it a green bolt of lightning is shooting out of my finger tips creating a thick green rope around the door handles. It's draining me though.

"I can't hold it for long! Hurry the hell up!" I yell. If it cuts off short then we're a wilted flower about to die.

Not much later I hear Tiffany's shout "READY LET'S GO!"It's go time. 

I shake my head to snap me out of it and the green rope starts dissolving. I land on the ground  with a thud as I ran over, grab Maxine, and jump through the portal with Tiffany carrying Dolores.
