Magicae: Magic

Chapter Thirteen: Lana Rickman: Shit?

Jade climbs up the house and, to be honest, I'm scared for her. I know I've been kinda mean to her, but I really do care about her. Anyway, she climbs up and I attempt to give her a thumbs up. It doesn't really work because I have to restrain Snapdragon. She's really hurt, she might've broken something, and she's trying to jump into the action. I know she does this for a living, but she can't do it right now, not while she's hurt.

"Snapdragon, stay down!" I tell her as I struggle to keep her on the ground.

"Must...help..." Snapdragon keeps on struggling against me and I realize something. 

I can't keep her here forever. I need to get her healed. I take her to the Blackwells', see if I can find some of Ally's cousins or something.

"Snapdragon, I'll let you help, if you come with me," I tell her. 

She stops struggling and looks up at me, "How long will it take?"

"Not too long," I lie, biting my lip. I pick Snapdragon up, ignoring her protests, and begin to carry her to the Blackwells' hospital. Once I get close I hear somebody yell.

"It's the runa—" I don't stay to listen to a mob start, and instead charge into the building and put Snapdragon down in the waiting area. I quickly find a chair and put it under the doorknob, keeping us safe for now.

"Lana? What are you doing—," Ally's younger brother, Ellen, looks over at me but stops talking when she sees Snapdragon.

"She did something to herself, I wasn't there, but it looks bad. Also, the mob outside, they're after us. Did you hear the assignment," I explain. Ellen trusts me so she takes the key out of her pocket and locks the door for me.

"Put her on this," Ellen says, carrying a stretcher over. I do as she says, seeing as she's the expert, and Snapdragon, finally, doesn't resist. Ellen and I grab the ends of the stretcher to carry them into an examining room. We put Snapdragon down on the examination table and Ellen feels Snapdragon's foot, giving me a look.

"What did she do?"

"I don't know, I wasn't there,"

"She only sprained it, originally, but she must've tripped because now it's broken," Ellen says. 

I look over at Snapdragon, "Did you trip?"

"I think so. Now, let's go!" she tries to stand up but her foot can't hold her anymore. She falls on the ground and can't get up. 

I put her back on the examination table, "Snapdragon, you really do need healing, at least a cast," I tell her seriously. 

She doesn't even bother to argue this time as Ellen leaves the room. She runs back in after a little bit with a cast. She locks the door, breathing heavily, "The...mob..." she doesn't need to say any more. 

I immediately look for a window or something to jump out of, but find nothing. I hear the door get knocked on very hard and can tell it will be knocked down soon. I need an idea... I stop thinking and have an idea. My little 'family talent' as everyone calls it, is that I can change my outfit and others outfits, including shoes, hair, and accessories. I know it doesn't sound useful, but it is now. I quickly change my hair and outfit to match Ellen and change Snapdragon's hair to curly brown, rather than the usual straight blonde, and wink at Ellen and she yells at the mob.

"I'm doing doctor business so get out!"

"The runaways are here though,"

"GET OUT!" Ellen screams at the top of her lungs. I hear everyone in the mob sigh before moving on to harass the other doctors. I wait until I can't hear the mob anymore before speaking.
