The Last Witch

Into The Onion - Ep 8

"I'm glad you trust me enough to bring me to see your friend", Rora spoke once they were in the elevator, "but won't we get in trouble for skipping school?" "Trust me when I say, the principal is currently too busy with other plans to worry about perfect attendance". Kimmy's words were laced with venom. She couldn't understand why Principal Heights suddenly changed.

The doors dinged and opened. "Come on". Kimmy urged and they both walked into Cedar's room. He was awake but his skin was getting paler by the second. "Hey Cedar", she waved at him, turning to the other males and Dr. Foster, "how do we save him?" "A fairy uses her magic through a wand", the Doctor whispered, "if she can imagine him healing, her magic would do the rest. But we have to hurry. His pulse is very faint".

Kimmy faced the confused Rora who was looking around nervously. "Rora, I know you just met me and I know this might sound weird but I need your help". "Does it have something to do with him?" She pointed at Leati, "I've seen his eyes and things like him in my dreams. Am I dreaming?"

"No, you're not. Leati's a Lynx; a Creature of the Night. And you are one you too. You have magic and that magic is the only thing that can save our friend".

"This has to be a joke then. Magic isn't real".

"Magic is real. I want to explain it all but we're low on time. Do you have a wand or something like it?" Rora's shaking hands reached inside her bag. She brought out a wooden stick with streaks of turquoise engraved on it. "My grandfather gave me this. He said it belonged to my mother", she said, still shaken up, "is this a wand?" "Would it work?" Kimmy asked Dr. Foster. "Wands are family accessories. It will work".

Kimmy moved Rora to stand beside Cedar's bed. "Just wave the wand over his head and I imagine that he's healed", Kimmy said slowly, "just like you wished for me to appear and I did". "But that was just luck..." "It wasn't luck. That was you and I know you can do this. Please, save him". Rora eyes glossed over but she did as Kimmy said. She closed her eyes and pictured that color had returned to his skin.

The tip of the wand glowed and its light covered Cedar's body. In minutes, his skin turned normal and the heart monitor spiked. Life was restored to Cedar's eyes and then the magic dimmed. Rora was weak but Kimmy was there to catch her. A flash of Aliss's body crossed her mind but Kimmy shook it off. It was not the time to reminisce.

Dr. Foster peeled off the bandaid and unwrapped the bandaged. "It's healed". She said causing all eyes to take a glimpse at the smooth flesh. It was almost as if nothing had happened to him. "Are you okay?" Penn asked. Cedar started signing and then he smiled. "He says thank you to Kimmy and the fairy". Penn translated.

"You still need to rest, Cedar", Dr. Foster unhooked him to all the machines, "I have to get to work. I'll check in with you later". "Thanks, Foster". Penn simply said. She nodded, gave Rora a soft look and left. Rora was currently sitting close to the window with her hands in her hair. Her heart was racing and her stomach was doing somersaults. The past minutes were too much to comprehend.

"What do we do with her?" Kimmy spoke to the three males, "she's the last fairy in the whole world. They are going to come for her". "I agree that she needs our help", Penn said, "but we can't protect her from something we don't know". "Then we find out", Leati quipped, "I can pull a few strings that can get me to Prague by tomorrow. That bastard has a..."

"You can't go after Lucian!" Kimmy interrupted, "at least, not now. I want to kill him. I've killed him a million times in my head but he's miles away from here and our problems are here".

"He has the book".

"And he's had five weeks to destroy the world but we're all alive. If he has a plan, he's not executing it now. We have to use this time wisely".
