Three's a crowd.

"Oh, I will rub it in."

Lizzie POV 

I was in full panic mode right now. Hope had just collapsed after saying the word poison. Penelope had came over and smelled it and said it was. She had ran back to get some of her antidote to see if that would help for this particular set of poison. I was holding on to Hope as Josie and Jade were talking in the distance.

I can't believe this was happening. This freak had come to this school and took on all of us and somehow won. They had taken Hope down and MG had been knocked out. They were using our faces as a distraction and it had worked well. We have been fighting someone for a long time and they have been right in front of us. Watching and enjoying what is happening in front of them.

I was listening to Hope's breathing as it got slower and slower. I knew that if we didn't get the antidote soon Hope wouldn't make it. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't hear Josie shouting my name. It took me a couple of seconds to even register it. 

I finally looked at them and Josie was holding on to her standing and trying to keep one of her legs from leaning too much on the ground. I then noticed that she had a wound in her shoulder where blood was still coming from. 

"I will be right back, Hope." I whispered to Hope before joining Josie and Jade.

"Josie. How badly are you hurt?"

Josie winced as she moved a bit.

"Not too badly. I just need these wounds looked at. We need to bring these barriers down and then I can get to the hospital wing."

Jade was looking worried. 

"Are you sure your strong enough to this Josie?"

"I have to be. With Hope down for the count, Lizzie and me will have to do this ourselves. Are you ready Lizzie?"

I nodded and put my hands on the silvery barrier in front of me and could already feel the incredible power it had. I haven't felt this since we took the hollow out of Hope's Dad and put it in that artefact. It was even stronger because the three of us had done it together. Josie followed and the look of strain on her face was clear. We were siphoning for about 5 minutes. It was so much power and I could feel it flowing through me. 

We ended it and the barrier came down.

"Good Job, Josie. High five."

Josie high fived me.

"Yeah. Great."

Josie then fell and was out cold. 

I was shocked but I kind of understood. Josie was already weak so that surge in power might have just been too much for her. Jade walked over and using her vampire strength lifted her up and started to walk off.

"I will take Josie back to school. You should bring Hope back to Penelope. Hopefully she will have the right medicine for Hope. I wouldn't want to think what the hell this crazy person is going to now with our best fighter down. I don't think it was any coincidence that they took out Hope."

I nodded.

"Yeah. I will take her back. Make sure Josie gets those wounds healed up."

Jade took off with her vampire speed and was gone in a few seconds. 

I went over to Hope and lifted her again. Her head moved to one side and I moved it back so it was near mine. I began to half carry her, half drag her towards the school. I wish the boys hadn't left to check on MG. Typical. 

"Don't worry, Hope. We will get you back and cure you. That's a promise."

It took me a bit but the school was in the distance. I was nearly there and Penelope came running out. I told her to grab her legs as we each lifted her back to her room. Penelope had a vile of liquid in her hand.
