a great mess ✔️

TGAE chap.6

The magic hit George fast making him froze in his step before falling down and hit the ground. I muttered another spell towards Xylone, turning her into a crystal with amber green colour, freezing all of her movement, along with her breathing.

"Guys, I lose the pulse" Ash yelled. I ran towards George, crouching down beside him before picking him up. I teleported the three of us to my room and then put George down on my bed carefully. I examined him, trying to find where the spell hit him.

"I need some things to undo the curse. It hits his main pulse." I told the guys,

"What's that?" Brad asked.

"Your dad's amber, my mum's wand, a flower from that unholy pond and Xylone's tears,"

"Why do you even need Xylone's tears?"

"I have no clue, Brad. But that's what George's body asks"

"Ask? How could you know that?" Ash asked.

"Ever since our blood mixed-up, I can read him like an open book, I just knew"

"But there's no time for that, he'll die before you got it all" Brad said.

"Hey, Reece?"

"Yes?"

"Why don't you try to kiss him?"

"What, Ash? Are you mad or are you nuts?"

"I mean, he's from pride land, aren't people over there believe kisses heal everything?"

"I don't know, Ash. Doesn't it have to be true love kiss or something like that? He doesn't even like me like that,"

"Just give it a try, who knows," Ash said encouragingly.

"'lright" I sat beside George's almost die body, grabbing his cold hand. I looked at Brad and Ash and they nodded their heads at me. I leant closer to George, but suddenly feel unsure.

"Uh, can you guys look away for a sec?" I asked them. They both turned around, whistling casually. I leant in again, pressing my lips softly on his icy-cold one. Please work, please work, I can't lose him too so please work.

But no, it doesn't work like I wished it is.

I pulled away sadly, looking at Brad and Ash that already looking at me with sympathy in their eyes.

"I told you it won't work. He doesn't like me like that"

"I'm sorry, Reece. I'll help you gather the ingredients. We still have time." Ash said.

"Thanks, Ash, but can you just bring me the spellbook? I think there's something there that might help, at least it has a bigger chance than the kiss"

"What kiss?" A cracked voice asked. I snapped my head towards George, looking at him with wide eyes.

"You're alive!" I screamed happily.

"Hi, Reece"

"Oh my god, I thought I won't be able to save you!"

"I heard what you said anyway and who said that I didn't like you?"

"You did?" I screamed even more.

"I do."

"Oh my god, Georgie! I love you, I love you, I love you" I peppered his face with kisses, squeezing his cheeks on my palms.

"Alright, alright, that's enough, Reece. He seems like he can't breathe" Brad said, chuckling along with Ash.

"Did I suffocate you?" I asked, pulling him up to sit down.
