Home Away From Home

Chapter 12: Tell me...

We travel in and around the mansion for an hour or two, looking for Sarah, until we finally find her. She's guarding the jail cells. We stay hidden behind the wall, and make a plan. "Okay, Horus, you try to get her weakened. She'll try to-" "I've done this an hour and a half ago. I know she'll try to fight me. Basically try to distract her, and 2b comes in. She rams her down to the ground, Sarah says something, weakens herself, 2b says tons of inside jokes, etc." Horus interrupts. "Um... Pretty much. And Paw, you stay here with me." Paw huffs, and crosses her arms. "Fine, but tell me when you need some help." I open my mouth to argue, but shut it and nod. "Okay." I say, and peek around the wall. She's turning this way. "Okay, on 3. 1... 2..." Horus readies his swords. "3!" I say, and he uses his sword to launch him forward. He shoots towards Sarah, and stops halfway. He points his swords at her, and they merge into the Royal Guardian sword from Orespawn. He looks surprised for a moment, and then holds it in front of him. "Come back, Sarah." He says, and she glares at him. She walks towards him, and he backs up slowly, luring her towards me, Crystal, and Paw. When he comes into sight, Paw starts walking, but I stuck my arm out, holding her back. "Let. Me. Go." She whispers, gritting her teeth, and I shake my head no. She stops struggling, and I peek around the other corner to look. Horus is back against a wall, and Sarah smirks at him. She takes something out of her cloak she has on, and I squint to see. When I do see it, I gasp. It's one of those weird potions. "Well well well." She sneers to Horus, holding out the potion. The brave look in his eyes turns to fear as soon as he sees the potion. "Looks like we have another minion." Sarah holds out the potion to throw it, and I've had enough. "No!!!!" I scream, jumping on top of her. She splashes the potion on me, and everyone gasps. I feel a pain in my heart, and crumple to the ground, clutching my chest in pain. "2besties!" I hear a boy say, and he puts a hand on my shoulder. Horus. "No! Horus, she's going to hurt you!" A girl says, and it sounds like Paw. "I don't care. My bestie is gone." He says, close to tears, and hugs me. I don't think, I just hug him back. He jumps, and after about a minute, we let go. The pain comes back, and I crumple back to the ground. "What's going on?" Crystal asks, and I manage and answer. "M-my h-heart. I-i-it hurts..." I say, and Paw gives me a hug. It goes away, and I look at Sarah. "You... You're a fairy." She says, her mouth wide open. "What?" Crystal says, and Paw pulls away from the hug. Crystal hugs me too, and Sarah continues. "She-she's immune to potions. She should've transformed into a minion by now... " I look up at her, and ask, "Okay." I say, and she's still staring at me. "Sky said to kill the fairy. He knew there was one, but only one. The rest are Dimension Hoppers. He said to kill the fairy, because she has powers nobody else does..." Horus walks up to her, points his sword at her throat, and narrows his eyes. He opens his mouth to speak, but I break Crystal's hug, and run at him, saying, "No! Don't!" He lowers his sword, and looks at me with a confused look. "It must've worn off by now. Anyways, look at her!" I say, and point at Sarah. Her eyes are fading back to purple, and her highlights are fading too. He steps back, and I look into her eyes, making the red fade even more. I start to sing a song that I heard when I went to her concert, one of the times there was lots of memories.
"Tell me sister, why the sky is blue...
Tell me sister, how your song is new... Why do the leaves grow strong in the rain...
Why do the breezes sing again...
Tell me sister how to see them too...  Listen sister, joy makes all things new...  Listen sister, hope will see you through...
Light in the darkness...
Sun in the rain...
Breezes that whisper once again...
Sing your song and you will see them too..."
I don't need to go on. The red has gone to purple. She runs to me, and hugs me. "Let's go home." She whispers, and I nod. "Yes."
*************************************
We're almost home. We just have to cross one bridge to get to the ocean. I walk up to step on, but Horus grabs my arm, stopping me. "You're still weak. I can see by your face. The potion took a lot out of you. I'll go." I close my eyes, and shake my head no, but he's already on. I see a flash of yellow under the bridge, and my eyes widen. Sky. "No!!" I scream at the top of my lungs, but it's too late. Sky splashes two potions this time. Horus starts to turn a golden colour, and stops moving. "Horus! Run!" I say, but I soon realize he can't. He's a statue made out of gold. "No!!" I shriek again, and break down crying. But we have to get out of here. I wipe my tears away, to find Sky standing in front of me, a smirk on his face. "He-" He starts, but I interrupt. "You monster!!!" I scream. "You made Horus into gold!!!!" And with that, I push aside, hanging him by the side of the rope-edged bridge. "And for the record, it's mantequia!!!!" I screech, and with that, grab Horus's sword, which has stayed the way it is, and slice the rope with one chop. He falls into the abyss, and I grab the statue of Horus. "C'mon. We have to get out of here. I don't have my powers, he stole them, so he can fly. Me cutting the rope bought us a bit of time. Now let's go!!!" I scream, and they follow me across the bridge. We run and swim and don't stop.
Until we reach the Nemphis.
