Battle of the Zodiacs

{ 8 } Please Don't Hurt Her

Third Person POV:
"LEAVE THIS INSTANT! OR THE LAST THING YOU'LL EVER SEE IS A KNIFE THROUGH YOUR HEART!"  Willow shouted at the Travelers.

"Please don't hurt us... we just need some food... we aren't here to cause any trouble!" One of the Travelers said.

"And why would we believe you?" Allie shouted.

"Because... you wouldn't want your friend to die? Now, would you?" A deep voice said behind the group, with a dagger near Bubble's neck. The group froze, petrified at what they saw before them. "Now, listen. Give us all your valuables before I slice up this girl's throat!" The man said with an evil smile on this face.
Bubble!  Willow thought to herself.
What are we going to do?! JayJay thought, panicking.

Fuck, I should've known something like this was going to happen Willow thought to herself . "We have something to offer!" Willow blurted put out. Crap. She thought to herself.
"Oh? And what does she have to offer?" The man said.

"Ummm... I have the..." Willow said trying to come up with something.

"We have The Great Stone of Invincibility!" Owen said taking a stone out of his pocket.

"Hah, who are you kidding? That's just a stone you found on the ground!" The man said, pulling the dagger closer to Bubble's neck.
"I've had enough of these stupid games of yours!" The man said, bringing the dagger even closer to Bubble's neck.

You could see the tears stream down Bubble's cheeks as she silently cried, praying for her life just to last a little bit longer.

Oh my god. I can't let Bubble die. Please lord help me. I'd give up my life for her.

"Don't kill her!" Willow shouted. The man raised his eyebrows. "Please don't hurt her! I love this girl and I would give my life up for her!" Willow shouted, on the brink of tears.
What are you doing Willow..? Willow thought to herself.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! Bubble thought to herself.

Wait, what is JayJay doing?! Willow thought, shocked. JayJay was sneaking up on the man that had the dagger to Bubble's throat. JayJay started to grow a vine and once it was big enough she threw the vine around the man's neck and pulled, causing him to drop the dagger letting Bubble free from this grasp. Bubble was coughing from the lack of air. Tiny bits of blood trailed down her neck. "Let him go. He's a waste of time." Willow said. "We need to take care of Bubble right now. She's our main priority at the moment." Willow added.

Bubble was still on the ground trying to breathe normally. "Bubble, can you breathe?" Willow asked.

Bubble was able to nod her head, but was unable to speak. "You need rest right now." Willow said, helping Bubble get up. After Willow helped Bubble into the tent, Willow made some tea for Bubble to drink. She took a wet cloth and gave it to Bubble. "Put this on your neck, it should help with the sting." Willow said. Bubble nodded and put it to her throat. She winced, but still held it to her neck.

"Here, this will help your throat. It has honey in it." Willow said, handing the tea to Bubble and sat down besides her on Bubble's cot. Bubble took of the cloth that she put on her neck. Bubble drank a little sip of the tea before handing the cup back to Willow, and falling asleep on her shoulder.

I hope she's okay... did she hear what I said to the man..? Willow thought to herself. Willow set the tea down, and set Bubble on her cot before going to sleep in her own cot. Alina peeked in their tent. "Can I speak to you Willow?" She asked, walking in. "Yeah, what's up?" Willow replied. "How's Bubble, and also, will more Travelers come to fight?" Alina asked.

"Bubble is getting better. I gave her honey tea, which should help. About the travelers, hopefully not, but you can never know what a Traveler is going to do next." Willow said "Just be aware that not everyone here in this world is nice." Willow added, smiling a bit. "Okay, thanks! Night!" Alina said, going back to her tent.
