The Crystal Chronicles

Chapter 19-Tears are shed

We both get out and keep running without looking back.As we get past the top of the hill we see Miranda holding Jade and Zack."Thank goodness you guys are okay"I said hugging all three of them at one time."Were glad your fine to but what about Axel did you see him"Miranda asked."I helped him and then he ran off to help other people I honestly don't know where he went"I said starting to get worried."All we can do is wait then oh wait what about you Arrow did you see him"Miranda asked.He didn't budge he just kept looking at the ground wiping away tears."I think he went deaf because this pale lady screamed so loud"I said leaving out the other big detail."You guys got cornered by a banshee"Miranda said wide eyed."Nope two but I only had time to kill one of them and then she started screaming"I said."But how did you and Arrow make it"Jade asked."Well I put a forcefield around my head and when I realized what was happening then I put a forcefield around their heads but I was a little late"I said."Wait their heads there was another person who was it where are they"Miranda asked standing up."It was Archer he didn't make it the banshee was just to loud he had blood coming from every hole in his face and arrow I guess he barely got through it but Archer collapsed as soon as the forcefield went down but I wrapped flowers and vines around him so nobody would see him if he was alive"I whined out holding back tears."Poor Arrow I can't believe what he is going through he must be devastated but Derek will probably be the same way"Miranda said starting to cry."What is Derek like relation wise with Archer"I asked hoping it wasn't a touchy subject."Well they were dating well I wouldn't say that they were in love and fiancées to each other the wedding was at the end of this month to"Jade said holding onto  Zack."Oh no he is going to be crushed I'm so sorry for them"I said."Yeah but you know what is blowing my mind right now"Jade asked."What is it Jade"Miranda asked."What the heck was she doing back there how did you do that forcefield thing you keep talking about and you "Wrapped vines and flowers around him"what's that about"Jade asked."Well this necklace I'm wearing contains strong powers and I am the one who can control them but now that you know I might as well show you what I do"I said.I raised some flowers out of the ground along with some really tall vines and I threw a forcefield around Zack."Wow that's crazy so is that why you guys went on that quest or whatever"Jade said and I nodded.As I'm about to say something I hear footsteps coming up the hill and I pull out my dagger ready for anything.As this person comes up the hill I realize it's Axel and he is carrying someone.I start running so I can help him and then I realize he is carrying Hannah.I start running faster and see his struggling so I grab Hannah out of his arms and he falls to the ground."GUYS GET UP HERE AND GET AXEL ILL HELP HANNAH"I yelled.Everyone comes up and start checking on Axel while I tend to Hannah."Hannah can you hear me I'm here come on"I say shaking her."Please wake up think of you family they need you"I say.I lean down and hear her breathing but it's faint.I keep shaking her but nothing is happening so I pick her up and take her over there with the others."Anything with him yet because I got nothing with her but she is at least alive"I said."Nope he just passed out but he is alive."Miranda said."Where is Arrow didn't he come with you guys"I asked."He didn't know what we were saying so we just pointed to a log and made him sit"Jade said."Oh yeah I can't beli-"I was saying until I was cut off.Axel raised up with a terrified look and he looked directly at me."Where is Hannah where did you put her"Axel asked grabbing my arms.I pointed to her and Axel scooted over to her."Listen she was cursed by a witch and she said that the only way it could be broken was for he to mend with nature so I thought maybe you could fix her"Axel cried looking at me."I can give it a shot everyone step back"I said.Everyone looked at me and then took about ten steps back.I did something I didn't think I could do when I tried to summon a tree I actually controlled it.The tree up rooted itself and made its way over to Hannah.It moved and wrapped its branches around her and she started moving but it wasn't enough.The tree outstretched a branch towards me.I grab it's branch and I hear a deep voice."Connect your hand with hers before its to late"The voice said.I grab her hand and a green aura starts to surround us.The light gets brighter and brighter until I have to close my eyes.When I open them the tree walks away and roots itself back into the ground.I look down at Hannah and she is very different.
