Nixie's Point of View

A week have passed. Seven days to be exact. We were currently in the middle of nowhere and Levi hid me behind a very big tree. He told me to wait until he arrives. He ordered that I have to hide because as the days passed by the creatures we often encounter became more dangerous for me and the others. It was more scary and more gross.

I am just watching them as they attack those monsters. Serafina killed over twenty creatures with just one fireball. She can use a dangerous fire if she can but it will consume her energy. Hellfire. That is the most amazing but dangerous kind of fire a fire possessor can have. Madison was wrecking everything around us. She using the trees around to attack and protect herself as well.

Tyler is chanting some kind of a black witch spell. And whenever his mouth close the creatures around him collapses. I was amazed by what a black witch can do. Fiona was using her mind control to make her opponent hurt itself and it did. Henrietta touches every creature she could see and whenever she does it, the scary creature dies.

Lucas has few bruises because of different things that is now floating everywhere. Thanks to his speed he can attack faster than anyone. Diane is changing the weather from time to time. But she uses lightning bolts to attack the scary creatures. Piolo is doing the same as Fiona except that he is flying everywhere. He is transporting here and there just like Madison.

Anyways, I can't find Richie. He is one heck of an invisible man. But I can see some creatures that just fell down and I can't see anyone around them. Maybe Richie was the one attacking them. Gerome is surrounded with black smoke but not like what I saw to Katrina Kane. His was darker and more scary than Katrina's. Just by looking at it you might want ran away.

Levi was also the same but there is no black smoke around him. Only his attacks have black smokes. I was busy watching them when I felt a pair of eyes looking at me. I turned around to look for it but the only thing I can see is darkness and nothing more.

I was about to go back on watching the others fighting when an old scary women appeared in front of me. I gasped when I saw her face. Half of her face was burnt and the half is not. Her face was beautiful but because of the burnt part it was not. Her eyes were fiery and scary. She is wearing a black ball gown and a cape with a hood that hid half of her face.

She touched my cheeks so I took a step backwards.

"Nixie Summers." she said and went closer to me.

She raised her hands and pretended to attack so I took another step back and shrieked. She laughed at me. Just like the laugh of Katrina inside Ms. Farrah's office and before she attacked.

Don't tell me that she'll do the same thing?!

I'm at the edge of panicking when I saw Levi in front of me. His right arm was spread in front of me and he pulled me behind. He is probably hiding me. I peered over his shoulders and saw that he is holding a sword. It has blood on it and it was slowly dripping on the ground. I looked at the lady and I saw the left part of her stomach has a big cut. Don't tell me Levi used that?

The lady touched it slowly and stare at her hands full of blood for about a minute. She grinned. An evil one and looked at us.

"Aah....the King has arrived." the lady said and she laughed.

"Eleanor, what do you want?" Levi asked the lady.

So her name is Eleanor? Who could she be?

After a few minutes we were surrounded by the others. Gerome went near us and faced the lady.

"Aah...the knights in not so shining armor also arrived?" she asked herself while her hand was placed on her chest. She was like she was surprised.

She laughed again. Maybe this woman has something wrong on her mind. She stared at all of us one by one until her gaze returned to me. I also stared at her and our eyes met. When Eleanor looked at my eyes. Her eyes bawled but then she smiled wickedly. Her expression changed into a serious one.

"See you soon, Nixie Summers." she said and she disappeared into thin air.

"Nixie!" Serafina shouted and my knees surrendered.

I couldn't stand up. My feet felt so numb.

"Are you okay? Did she hurt you? What happened?" Madison asked.

I smiled at them and told them that I'm okay. That I'm fine. We went back to our so called headquarters and they treated each others wound. We were busy doing our own jobs when a bright light glowed on top of the trees that is covering us.

"Mission accomplished." Levi said and everything glowed.

I wasn't able to stand the brightness of the light so I closed my eyes. When I opened it once again we were back in Artemis Academy.

"We survived." Fiona said and she cried.

The others joined her except for Levi, Gerome, Henrietta and I.

"Congratulations! My dear students!" Headmaster Cray said and gave us a big hug.

"Welcome back!" Ms. Farrah said and we all gathered to have our group hug.

King Paolo, Queen Polly, King Henry, Queen Harriet , and the students' parents were also here. We made a very big group hug and they all went to see their own families. I stared at them. I'm trying hard not to shed tears in front of them.

"Let's all have a rest. You have done a great job." Headmaster Cray said and looked at us.

"Let's have a party tomorrow to celebrate your accomplishment." Ms. Farrah said.

"YES!" they all shouted and I was surprised to see Piolo joining the others on shouting Yes.

We walked and went to our rooms.

This was the best accomplishment I had in my first time here.

Someone's Point of View

"Call my daughter." I ordered one of my men.

"Yes Ma'am." he said and disappeared.

When he appeared again my daughter was with him.

"Get off of me!" my daughter ordered him and he let go of my daughter's arm.

"What now mother?" she asked me. I smiled at her and she quickly frowned.

"You brought me here just to smile at me? I have loads of work to do in the Academy. Spit it." she exclaimed.

"I need you." I told her and she walked closer to me.

"Yeah. You always remember me whenever you just need me. Is that all your gonna say? Goodbye." she said and started walking out of the palace.

"Elisha!" I shouted at her.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" she shouted and stomped her feet on the floor.

"What is it now?!" she said and crossed her arms on her chest.

"You still don't know the plan, right?" I asked her and she didn't respond.

"Elisha Drift! I am asking you!" I shouted at her. She always boss around and doesn't respect me.

"Fine. What is it?" she asked and we started discussing.

This will probably work.
