Heavenly Harpies

Chapter 14: The Travel Commences

You glance at everyone and stand there. "Jackie?" She sniffled and looked down, "One of us has to stay here." You look around and then at her again, "What? Who?" She shook her head, "The darkness...it told me to kill..."

The vision came back to you, your eyes widened. "J-Jackie..." You gulp, "I might know who..." Chase looked over to you, "Well so do I." You look at him and he gave a small smile. "Chase, no. You're not staying here. The darkness is just trying to separate us. Jackie, did it say anything-" Your eyes clouded, "I can hear you..." You wince trying to get it out, "Mirso? Help!"

You find yourself in a cage, surrounded by darkness. Chase was in front of you, as was Poppy, and Kae. You tear up trying to reach them through the bar gaps, to no avail. You look up, hearing footsteps, a low chuckle echoes around you. Jackie fell to the floor, dead. You look up, Oliver stood in front of you, dangling a knife. You scream out as he stabs you, then you wake up on the ground.

Oliver was near you, you grab a knife and hold it tightly, pointing it towards him. "YOU SLY FLIRT. I KNOW WHAT YOURE REALLY HERE FOR!" He stared at you, shocked. Chase glared at him, "I was right." Jackie looked at you, "Wrong..." You look at her, "What? No, I saw him, he-" He grabbed your hand and threw the knife down, "I wouldnt kill anyone here." You tense up at his touch and immediately goes to Chase. Chases eyes widened as he smiled a little and held you in his arms.

Oliver chuckled, then went outside, shaking his head in disbelief. Poppy got up and quietly snuck behind Jackie and hugged her. Jackie's eyes widened, yet she accepted the hug. Kae joined in, and gave a small kiss on the cheek to Jackie. This made her blush, Poppy giggled. Chase and you join in. Then Poppy, you, and Chase gang up and put your hands in a somewhat circle and did the Six Wings Handshake. Kae and Jackie held each other and watched you. "Come on! We've got a king to save." Jackie looked out to where Oliver was, "We're leaving him, I assume." You nod and grab your bags. Everyone grabs their stuff and walk out of the cave. Oliver doesnt even watch you leave.

And you're back on your journey.
