A Royal Quest: A wolf's Way Home Book 2

Chapter 27: The Race for the cure

The sunrise had more color than the Friends could even imagine the deepest reds, oranges, yellows, and hints of pink not a cloud in a sky made it perfect for hunting for potion ingredients Kate had made a list of what each ingredient was trying to find which ingredient she will give each of her friends to retrieve but she did not have the doubt that her friends would do it as Merith and skyler huddled close and so did Kate and Bucky as they watched the pretty sunrise start and end and a huge smile ran across Kate's face she knew today would be the day she would have the upper hand she knew it ok Kate said I've made a list of the ingredients we need to find Bucky I assign you with getting the thorn stem from a white rose, Merith I assign you with retrieving the tuff of hair from a doe, skyler I assign you with the task of getting water from the sleeping bird oasis, and I will get the basil plant from my family tree who's with me as they put their paw or hand and swung in the air yeah they all said as they headed to get their designated ingredient. Merith thought on where she would find a tuff of hair from a doe and then she spotted fall feeding her baby deer that's it Merith said as she headed toward her hello Merith said sorry to bother you oh no it's ok fall said what's going on she said me and the others are collecting ingredients for a potion and your a key component fall smiled sure what is it that you need from me she said enthusiastically I need a tuff of your hair Merith said sure thing fall said using her magic brush to make the white part of her chest grow and she cut with a sharp thorn a plastic bag full of doe hair thank you Merith said as she waved fall goodbye and gave her a hug and set to find the others. Kate had walked along the meadow for awhile heading toward the direction of her family tree she went down a double hill and their she was at her family tree the emerald ingrained leaves and the caremel bronze tree bark she looked around except their was no sign of basil until she saw a goat chewing on it she raced to the goat and the goat ran it became a wild goose chase as Kate continued to try and get the ingredient she was set to collect. Bucky looked around the red colorful bushes that were surrounding him reds and pinks but no white roses he remembered when Merith told him how hard it was for her to find one then he remembered she got one for her birthday it must be still in her room so Bucky ditched the rose bush and headed for ground oaks city. Miraculously skyler was doing surprisingly better as he arrived to the sleeping bird oasis safe and sound the birds were sleeping until a young prince came out A human he said sqauking calm down skyler said I'm good I'm a friend of Bucky a buck toothed bunny who came not so long ago ahh yes the prince said then welcome to the sleeping bird oasis hi my name is prince pecan ruler of the sleeping bird oasis what may I help you with he said I'm looking for water from here yes yes prince pecan said of course here he said straight from the sleeping birds lake it was a 4 inch bottle skyler thanked him and went to find the others. Kate had finally caught up with the goat who dropped by a female goat presumably his crush Kate was able to grab the basil plant sorry I hope you can forgive me she said as the goat gave her an angry expression and she headed to find the others and see how they were doing. Bucky after an hour finally found ground oaks city and raced toward it he then started to look for exactly which cottage Merith lives in until he found a door with a number 556 and a wolf decorater he went through the doggie door and hopped up the stairs he headed to Merith's room where the sign now read", residence to merith and skyler as Bucky headed into the door. The room had a king sized bed, a dresser with 6 drawers, a bed that Kate once had with her toy named oaks and her desk which held the rose he was looking for he took a pair of scissors and cute off the rose petal and headed to find the others they had all found the ingredients and they all were happy. The iron walls of the inventory in which Unknown lived in never in his life has he felt this weird sensation like a peice of him was being destroyed he looked at the fortune globe as it showed him what Kate and the others had done as a mad Unknown rushed out of the inventory and went through the mirror he was going to control Kate and this time he'd make sure her friends didn't interfere he transported himself to the location as he watched the friends pour in the ingredients. Rose thorn Kate said here said Bucky water from the sleeping birds got it said skyler tuff of hair from a doe got it Merith said I've got the basil leaf Kate said as she put it in the last is a tear of joy Merith said oh that won't be nessasary an invisible cloak has been taking off and revealed to be unknown as he shot a green flame knocking all of Kate's friends down and Unknown with a wide grin came closer and closer to Kate as he turned into black goo and latched to Kate as she transformed into him her crown fell off her armor slipped off her hair got disheveled her eyes turned green and in a loud bark ran far into the meadows as Merith watched her now controlled friend disappeared and they all got up the potion remained unfinished but that wasn't the worry anymore as the friends must get Kate back to normal before sunset comes and her heart turns stone cold
