How to Change a Spark

Chapter 6

???'s POV

     "Hey, wake up." I felt someone shaking me, and I dimly registered that it was Herobrine. "Come on Felicity, you gotta get up."

     "I care not to..." I mumbled.

     "I won't leave you alone until you are." I let my eyes open and I sighed.

     "Fine." He helped me to my feet, and I looked around at the wreckage. "So they're gone for now?" Herobrine nodded.

     "Yeah, for now." He grunted. "But we gotta go back to Minecraftia and take care of those midget dragons." I sighed inwardly, tired.

    "Alright fine, but I'm going there in my dragon form instead of flying and using magic." He glowered at me, and I smirked back at him.

     "... Fine." He grumbled. "Even though I hate riding your back in your dragon form."

Samantha's POV

     "Nng..." I groaned and sat up slowly, opening my eyes. I was back in the bedroom, on the bed. I noticed Ty leaning against the door frame in the doorway, his back to me as he stared down the stairs. I rose unsteadily to my feet and stumbled over to him. He turned around just before I reached him, relief flooding into his eyes.

     "You're ok." He sighed. I hugged him tightly, feeling guilt finally flood into me.

    "I'm so sorry." I apologized, hoarsely. "I shouldn't have let my temper get the best of me, a-and there's something wrong with me." He stroked the top of my head, patting my hair down from its frizzy state.

     "There's nothing wrong with you." He tried to assure me. I pulled back and looked up at him.

     "B-but there is. There really is." He tilted his head, waiting for me to go on. "... You know what? Never mind, there isn't, it's just me." I decided. He gave me an "Are you sure?" look. I scoffed and smiled. "Yeah I'm sure. I just need to lift my chin up." I hugged him again and started purring as he pet my ears.

     "I'm just glad you're ok." He admitted. I nuzzled him.

     "Me too." I murmured.

     "Aw, you two are still a couple?" I sighed and looked past Ty to see Adam smirking, leaning on the railing.

     "Yes. What, did you expect us to break up or something?" I asked. He shook his head, still grinning.

     "No no, it's just that Ty said that he was taking you on a date when you two got back to the real world, remember?"

     "Oh yeah." I looked back at Ty, who was glowering at Adam.

     "Well, you don't have to make such a big deal about it." He protested, blushing. "And uh, shouldn't we focus on Wildstar's problem?"

     "Why, what's wrong with Wildstar?" I questioned. They both exchanged a knowing glance, and the blood drained from my face. "Wh-What?"

     "Wildstar's uh... er uh... been uh..." Ty rubbed the back of his neck and looked over at Adam helplessly. Adam raised his hands up in front of himself and shook his head.

     "Nu uh, I am as sure as hell not tellin' her." He protested. I pushed past both of them and jogged down the stairs, almost knocking Adam over. As soon as I was at the bottom of the stairs, I halted, seeing Wildstar. She was unconscious, and barely breathing. Horror flooded into me, and I crouched down beside her.

     "Wildstar." I nudged her, but she didn't wake. I ignored Adam and Ty as they came down the stairs to follow me as I desperately shook my knocked out friend. "Wildstar, Wildstar!" She still didn't wake. I glanced up at Ty and Adam with wide eyes.

     "Wh-what's wrong with her!?" I demanded.

     "We uh... don't know." Ty admitted. "We think that when your magic got out of control and was gonna hit me, and when she'd jumped in front and saved possibly my life, she was knocked out by whatever spell you used." I stared down at my hands, my eyes starting to tear up.

     "Th-then it's my fault..." I whispered. "I've probably killed her!" Adam sat down next to me and gave me a reassuring hug.

     "I may have witnessed the last five seconds of the fight, but I know that it wasn't your fault." He assured me. I shook  my head.

     "No, it is my fault." I protested. "I-I shouldn't have let my temper get the best of me."

     "But you're new at magic and sorcery and... whatever else comes with it." I rested my chin on his shoulder.

     "Wow, thanks." I replied dryly. "But there has to be some way to heal her..."

     Man I can never get a break!
