What happens in the woods stays in the woods

Chapter 12: Jared

Chapter 12

Jared's POV

Screams. Knocks. Yells.

Screams. Knocks. Yells.

Screams. Knocks-

"Stupid, black, chicken!"

Grace screamed

"Get off me!"

I heard a loud screech

"Uuugggghhhh!"

"Grace! Stop being stupid, and just kill the thing!"

Kristin yelled in response.

"I'm trying!"

*************************************

It went on like that for a while.

I wanted to go out their so bad, but I think it would only make Grace, and Kristin even more frustrated than they already were.

"Okay, Jared!" Grace screamed "you can come help now!"

"Yes!" I whispered to myself.

I almost leaped out of the tree house, when I saw the creatures.

Grace had killed one, which had started to turn to golden dust.

They were disgusting, they were black, and rinkled, and just.......ew.

Kristin looked like she was almost done killing one. Water was shooting out of the earth everywhere it stepped, and water was also shooting out of her hands like super powered water guns.

Grace was working on killing her second. She was growing, roots, and trees, and berries, and any other green plant you could think of.

She finally got it rapped in a large root, and planted to the spot. (Literally, the roots grew and turned into a tree.)

When I got down the latter, I saw what we were really up against.

About 2 dozen of those creatures were walking through the woods, black, and ugly as ever.

*************************************

"Were screwed." I said.

"No, were not." Grace said "Jared now would be a good time to unlock your powers."

"Well, I'm sorry for not having faerie wings and a dress on." I said

She frowned at me, "Shut up. We're not I'm the mood for jokes."

"What ever you say princ-"

"Jared, shut up."

Kristin interrupted, she looked deep in thought.

"Grace, there are exactly 20 of them"

she pointed to the on coming horde of monsters

"And exactly three of us" she looked at me

"and one of us doesn't have their powers."

I frowned at her.

It's not like I control when and where I get my powers! Why were they being so jerkish about it?

"UUUGGGHH!" Grace screamed, Kristin and I looked up in shock.

"Shut up!"

Grace'a arm flew upward and a giant root bursted out of the ground and swallowed two of the twenty monsters coming closer.

"What. The. Crap. Was. That!?"

I screamed. Kristin and Grace looked as shocked as I felt.

She lifted her hands slowly to look at them.

"I-I don't know," she said "I was just getting tired of their screeching."

I hadn't noticed that all the black things were screeching and hitting trees.

"Grace" Kristin said "don't ever do that again, okay?

Grace looked up from her trembling hands and nodded, "okay."

I spoke up

"Okay, how about instead of battling (tell we die) we fly away like good little faeries do? Yes? Okay."

Grace and Kristin looked at each other skeptically.

"Really, you guys are freaking me out with the 'eyes glance' crap. Are you guys going to try and get yourselves killed, or, are you going to be smart and fly away like good little faeries?"

I asked

They both looked at me, probably annoyed, but that's (sometimes) my specialty.

"Fine."

Grace walked behind me and her hand flew up-

"No! Grace! No!"

I yelled, but I couldn't finish my sentence.

"Perfect." She said on the verge of laughing "your a pretty, pretty princess!"

I was in shock, she couldn't have, she wouldn't have-

"Did. You. Just. Put. Wings. On. Me?!"

I screamed

Grace, and Kristin burst out laughing.

I just stood their I'm total shock.

The wings Grace Campbell gave me.........were pink.
