"We're here" Zayne says cooly, gripping July's hand tighter, his brow furrowed in serious concentration. Everyone can feel the silenced chill surrounding them like a dark, worry pluaged blanket.Alice stroked her midnight wings that she held so firmly in her hands and led the tight group towards the cave. The desolate, gray cave that....is that....blood spattering the cave walls? A shiver ran up and down my spine as we entered the creepy liar.
Everyone holds on to each other in fear. whats down here? What if Ezra is so evil.....what if she kills us? What if....
My thoughts are cut short because in a tight matter of oblivious seconds, millions of blazing torches hanging on the cave wall light up and show us whats in front of us. I gasp, so does everyone else. We are at a dead end...but how? Is this the wrong cave.
"Whats going on?" July whispers, her voice mousy and small. Then were frozen in our steps, parylized by the cackling sick noise of a woman's evil laugh, followed by a sneer challenged voice.
"So....you need your wings back, Alice?" The voice is dripping with fake sorrow and causes me to boil with anger that I shouldn't be feeling. We turn around and I'm shocked at how beautiful Ezra is. Shes wearing a long black dress, but not medieval and drab as I expected. Honestly....she owns that look. Uhg what am I saying! She's evil! I bet that's not even what she really looks like. I squeeze Simons hand.
"So...," The enchantress flicks back her short cropped brown hair with her long spindly fingers and glares at us with a menacing smirk, her snake bitten purple eyes are like a raging thunderstorm in the middle of a galaxy painted waist land. She.....she's almost...I shake the drifting feeling away and glare at her. Then Jasper speaks.
"Ezra, we need your help. Please, if you could just put my friends wings back on her...we will leave as promptly as we came in" Jasper said, his voice almost as drippy as hers. Ezra's smile vanished and a cup of black coffee appeared in her pasty hands out of no where, she took a sip and shivered.
"ahh...black...like my soul" Ezra cackled, her eyes piercing us once again.
Alice began choking up, "Please....my...my wings," She stifled a tear and held her sad looking wings out to Ezra.
"Sure..hon. But...I need something in return," Ezra cooed, glancing at each person in the room.
"What do you want Ezra?" Jasper said, his voice stern.
Ezra shook her head and replied mockingly, "Ah-ah-ah! No spoilers! I cant tell you until after I give Alice her wings back.....So lets see....wings or no wings?"
Alice looked at Jasper for assurance. Jasper nodded and kissed her on the cheek, "For you....." He whispered into her ear. She smiled and told Ezra she wanted her wings back, no matter the price.
But as soon as I saw Ezra lift her finger and Alice's wings re-attached to her back, she gave a sick smile...I knew we shouldnt have agreed to this. But before I could stop the witch, she lifted her finger and Jasper was dead.
