"BOOM!" the walls echo as Melody is thrown into the Old Thrifty Shop. Lyric rushes beside her twin only to see that she had been knocked out cold.
"YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET THAT!!" Lyric yells at the large alien as her red eye glows brightly, as if she had x-ray vision. She spreads her large black wings and flies above the creature. Her horns start to grow longer and sharper as she escalates in height. She then looks straight down to see the alien's head as she starts to ram for it as if it were a large target. She knocks out the alien with a quick swoop upward.
She then looks to see her mission is complete and yells, "IF YOU EVER COME NEAR THE PLANET OCTAVIA OR MY SISTER AGAIN, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GO HOME IN A CASKET!!"
Lyric then starts to sing a magical song that put handcuffs on extra-terrestrial creatures into her small telepad. As soon as she turns around to give her sister a high-five she realizes that she is still down on the ground in a coma. Quickly Lyric flies down to the ground and dashes over to Melody. She takes Melody's magic binding necklace along with her own in her hands, connects them together, and sings into them; "Sisters unite, together we will fight, now she may be weak, soon be strong, once again and all along."
Lyric picks up Melody after realizing that their special song is not working. She then wraps Melody's large dark purple wings in a special angel wing blanket and takes off in flight with Melody secured tightly in her arms.
When Lyric lands they are in front of the Old Beethoven Museum. She goes to the side door and plays a simple G Chord on the small piano outside and says "Lost Boy". The side door slowly opens with a loud creak. Lyric walks inside and goes towards a large poster of a piano and taps the middle which causes a secret door to reveal a large witch craft room with an old looking man sitting in the far corner.
He turns his large brown leather chair around to face the sisters.
"Ah, Lyric Edith Santoni and Melody Winter Santoni. What can I do for you?"
"Melody won't wake up Reaper, I need your help." Said Lyric holding her limp sister out for the old man to see.
"Oh, I see." He said taking Melody from Lyric and laying her on the table in front of them, "What happened to her?" asks Reaper as he starts to carefully unwrap Melody's wings.
"She was knocked out by an alien and our necklaces are not working."
"They aren't?" He asks panicked.
"No but you can fix it. Right?" Tears drip slowly down her face.
"She will have to leave Octavia for treatment. We don't have anything to help her here."
"I shall go with her then!"
"Lyric, no, we need someone to stay here and fight the extra-terrestrial." Sorrow forms in his large gray eyes.
"I have to go with her!" Lyric takes a deep breath to calm her down and says, "How long will it take if she is not taken to another planet?"
"She may never wake up then..."
"Can't someone take our place?"
"I'm not sure. I believe that you would have to ceremonially knight someone the temporary protector of Octavia." He says as his sad face turns somewhat hopeful for the young girl to regain confidence.
"How long will that take?"
"A week or two I believe."
"A WEEK?!"
"Either that or Melody goes alone."
"A week it is then..."

FantasyA fourteen paged Hero's Journey story that I made a 100% on in eighth grade. I think I may remake this story, but I thought I'd put the original here until I make my revision. The ending is not that great, for it was most definitely rushed. I hope...
