"Again"-Harry's P.O.V

"So just for clarification you mother Pythias is the Queen?" Natalie asked Nico for third time which NIco answered for the third time yes.

"And also just for clarification you can control all four elements?" Natalie asked again for the third time and this time you could see Nico was getting irritated but he kept his clam and answered yes.

"Damn.." Natalie said as she leaned back in her chair digesting everything Nico just said. I agree with Natalie though. It was a lot.

"So where is Samuel?" I asked because last time we talked he was acting very weird. 

"Samuel has taken over my place to welcome Unwants so that I may be.Once my job here is down I shall return," Nico replied. 

"There is also one more bit I need to tell you guys," Nico said hesitantly. What else was there to tell!

"Before Ally left..well she shared that my mother had infected her with the serum.."

I felt my heart stopped for a second. I jumped out of my chair and pulled Nico shirt. "What the hell! Why didn't you tell us sooner!!!" I yelled.

Nico grabbed my hand and pulled it away from him. "Because you will be doing exactly what you are doing now. Angry,unfocused and that is something we don't need." Nico said as we sat back down. 

I remained standing wanting to just throw a punch at this self righteous brat but Natalie pulled me back into my chair and whispered for me to calm down. I took in a deep breathe and tried to.

"Are we good?" Natalie asked me and I nodded. Today is the day we are getting back Ally, and I will do whatever I needed to do to get that done.

"Great! Let's get going." Nico said as he got up from the table and headed toward the exit. "I just want to strangle him," I said to Natalie who just laughed.

I checked us out of the inn while Nico took the bags. When I got to the car, Nico was in the drivers seat with Natalie sitting in the seat next to him.You got to be kidding me. I will not be sitting in the passengers seat.

"I thought I was driving," I said standing outside the car. "Well Nico has never driven a car so I thought this would be a good chance for him to," Natalie answered.

"We are wasting precious time Harry. Just get in," Nico had the audacity to say. I glared at the both of them before I opened the door to the passengers seat and sat down.

I barely had time to put on my seatbelt before Nico sped off. The windows were opened and the wind was just crashing on my face.

"YOU MIGHT WANT TO SLOW DOWN," I said trying to be heard above the wind but he didn't hear me. Instead I heard him and Natalie laugh. "This is so much better then horses!" Nico yelled.

I shook my head. I hope we don't die before we even get there.

I remained in silent the rest of the ride as the two of them chatted. Finally thanks to Nico driving he got to the cottage earlier then expected.

I tapped Nico shoulder. "Slow down,and park here. We don't want them to see us coming."

Nico actually listened and slowed down the car and parked. Natalie turned around to look at me. "That was fun right?" she said and I just shook my head. She laughed.

I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of the car. The cottage was literally located in the middle of just hills and mounds of grass. Perfect secluded location.

"Okay there are binoculars in the back. Each of us will get one, split up and see if we can inside of that cottage. Those mounds should give us pretty decent cover that they won't see us."

Natalie and Nico nodded their heads and I headed to the trunk to get the binoculars. I handed each of then one and also gave Nico a phone. "Just in case you run into trouble or see something just call us." Nico looked at Natalie and I confused and then I realized he probably didn't know how to use a phone. Thankfully, Natalie came to the rescue and showed him how.

"Okay I am going to go check out the east side. Meet back here in an hour?" I asked. "Yup!" Natalie said.

I started hiking up the mounds that were a lot stepper then they looked. By the time I made it to the top I was out of breathe that I had to sit down to catch my breathe. When I felt like I was ready I moved slowly closer to the cottage, ducking  behind the mounds for cover.

I looked through the binoculars to see if I can see anything. The cottage was quite big. With three floors and probably a basement. The basements and first floors windows were completely blacked out but the second and third floor windows weren't. I looked through the second floor but their was nothing.

I wanted to get closer. I saw that their was another mound and quickly made a mad dash to get to it. I turned around and looked up at the third floor and thats when I saw her.

Ally looking right at me. I felt my heart beat faster. I was so happy to see but also sad. God, Nico wasn't lying. Her face was completely pale and taken on a grayish tint. Her beautiful brown eyes had turned a muddy gray. Ally I am so sorry.

Suddenly that two timer, Caleb was behind Ally and I quickly hid behind the mound again. Of course he would be there. I swear he will get what is coming to him.

I waited it out a few minutes not wanting to get caught but I just wanted to catch one last glimpse of Ally.

I turned around to look but she was gone. My heart felt heavy.

I will see her again I thought to myself as I ran back to the car.
