MAGIC

(-Chapter Four-)

Me, Jack, and Bex went to Jack's house. The backyard was a direct entrance to the woods. You could see pawprints, probably from where Jordan found him and took him home. The three waited for Jordan to arrive, Zach could not make it.

When Jordan got there, he was carrying a duffle bag. "Hey! Come help me unload!" he cried out. After all the bags where in the house we went through them in Jack's room. "Creepy" Jordan noted when he saw that on the door to Jack's room there is a sign that says "FREE CANDY".

We opened the bags up to find swords, bows, whips, and much more. Jack grabbed a whip and winked at Jordan. "For later!" Jack said. Jordan went all red and Skye rolled her eyes. In a short 10 minutes we were all ready with food, sleeping bags, and weapons.

Not to mention a hot werewolf and a shirtless L'Cie. Jack took a sword and a bow. "It's gonna be a long walk" Jordan tells them. "It might take days." Jack steps forward, "We'll do what it takes!" He exclaims, cheerfully. After about 15 minutes of walking, they came to a place with a big tree and open field. Jack immediately sat down leaning against the tree and looked at the sky. Jordan joined him.

"So, you seem awfully chipper for a L'Cie." Jordan told him, "Kinda like you're ready to die.". The wind was blowing, swaying their hair to the side. "Well..." Jack told him, "I honestly am kinda scared of this mess, but what's the point? I have you guys and that is important." Jack looked down,"Even if i die... I'll die with you guys by my side." Jordan looked away, blushing. "Shut up and let's go."

We soon caught up with Skye, and Bex. They were not far ahead. They were worrying about Zach, and what that Wolf was doing! Skye turned around and saw us. "Hey losers!" She said. "Hey Skye!" Jack practically shouted as joyful as can be.

It was getting around 3:00 at this time. They kept walking till the sunset appeared.

As the group started to get settled when they heard snapping of branches. They looked to see who it was. It was Zach, and a friend with two crossbows, one pointed at Jordan, one at Jack.

"Do it." the man told him. "Kill the L'Cie, while I get the Wolf". Skye looked up, and recognized the man as the one who appeared on her doorstep just the other night.

Skye jumped up, startling all of them. Their first conflict in the woods, was one they considered a friend. The gang got their weapon of choice ready and went for the attack. Jack, who hated Zach in the first place, and desperate to win Bex over, attacked Zach. Zach knocked him down. "JACK!" Bex yelled out. "You're a L'Cie, use your magic, heal yourself when you feel weak." Jack did just that, to himself and everyone else. Jordan, let out one swing of the giant sword he chose and the Man vanished.

"Zach!" Jordan cried out. "Talk to me ugly!" Zach woke up.
