He said pointing to Jonas “He is kinda scary but you haven’t killed me after you got the information...” Jonas scoffed “I am only scary when I need to be. He has been asking people nicely and it hasn’t been working, he is too soft so I had to step in and put on a little show.” He said looking at him and slightly chuckling “Wait so you weren’t really gonna let me fall and break my bones?” Jonas chuckled “if you had opened your eyes you would have seen I was right next to you while you were falling.” The man looked at me “So those kids… Those Adults… The countless number of people we have killed, done operations on and even turned them against each other… Others people we drove mad... those people we trained to kill their own kind. Those people... All of those people haven’t broken the law by being here or tried to kill mankind?” I looked to Mama Maddie and she walked over “There is no law regarding the passing of realms… Both humans and Magic beings are allowed to interact. The only law that stands between magic beings and humans is one made by magic beings regarding sexual interaction. And that is banned between the two races. If you decide to do so then you are banned from the magic realm both the human and magic being. Another law regarding magic beings and humans is that If a magic being attacks a human they are put to do death.” Mama Maddie paused and lifted her finger “As far as I know a human hasn’t been harmed by a magic being for about…” She closed her eyes and I felt a burst of energy she was speaking with her spirits “For almost 20 years.” She nodded her head “I just hope the magic council doesn’t hold it against you for freeing these people.” I then thought about how Roger he was shot up so easily he would have been killed if he had protected himself, I clenched my fist so that’s why they don’t want me to fight the base. “Well ...we’ll just have to free as many as we can before they come after me then, I won’t stand by and let these people but torn and built into horrible monsters.” I looked to the man he looked down, “You guys really haven’t tried to take over the world…” I glared at him and he seemed like years of his life had gone to waste “Is there any way I can help?” I looked at him and looked to Jonas “Yeah what I want you to do is say that our weakness is fire and that the dragon was killed by me. Don’t mention Jonas, the winged guy, Mama Maddie or my winged fairy friend.” I said gesturing to each person, “Also make us sound super scary and that you sneaked into the woods and was able to hear our plan of attack. Tell them we plan to strike in one week at night and from underground from the south side of the building.” He looked at me confused “How are you gonna attack from underground?” I patted his head as melt the ice holding his wrists together, “It’s a surprise attack and we will have a shit ton of people that pour out from the ground like ants and scatter toward the building and attack the first thing we come across.” Jonas looked at me confused I looked at the guy and rubbed my neck “But for them to believe this, we have to freeze you in the woods and make it look like we found you spying on us…” He nodded and stood walking toward the woods we made sure every footprint and broken stick match up with this plan if we slip up this guy will be killed for treason. I looked back to the man and held out my hands and he posed screaming I froze him and watched as my ice covered him hoping that I would be able to see him again. I turned away and Jonas patted my back “he will be just fine” I nodded and looked to Ren and Mama Maddie who were chatting. I felt something come toward us in my gut and I looked around and closed my eyes feeling a dark energy I opened my eyes “We need to leave. Can you contact Mayaken?” I said as we got into the car Mama Maddie sat in the back as Jonas and I got up front. “No, I can not.” I sighed and thought about him opening a portal and running into whatever that energy belonged to. “If he does run into them when he returns he can fly or open another portal and flee.” I nodded and headed to Mama Maddie’s school and dropped her off and asked her to look after the kid who wanted to stay with me until I got myself in order for another guest in the house, watching as she walked into the house Jonas drove off. Looking to Ren I smiled “We are going to take you to our place if that's cool?” She nodded and I looked back at Jonas “How mad are you on a scale of 1 to 10?” Jonas glanced over at me “You left without telling anyone and just ran into a fight… You were lucky they were only science nerds and not the real deal.” I looked down and thought about the number of people I had saved “I would do it again without a doubt. I saved a lot of people.” Jonas stopped the car at our house and glared me down “Now it will harder to get in they will have every guarded better and I don’t even know why you trusted that guy. Maybe we are in over our heads.” Jonas turned off the car and looked down on me and gently touched my hand “I don’t think we should fight we aren’t trained and have no idea what we are doing. And even if we win the fight the magic beings will put us to death for hurting humans” I watched as Ren got out my Dad stepped out and looked at me than at Ren “Dad take her inside I need to talk to Jonas.” I looked at Jonas who got out of the car and looked down “Look at me.” I said pulling Jonas to me “I just trained for what felt like goddamn years so I don’t wanna hear that you think I am not ready. I didn’t ask you to turn yourself into an elf you did that yourself despite me telling you not to you jumped into it without thinking. This isn’t a game of battleship or chess these are real people and real lives we hesitate and people will die. So make up your mind just use your brain.” Jonas looked at me and then gently touched my arm “I wanna stand by you and protect you but this may be the only way for me to do that.” I touched his arm and looked into his eyes, everything went black and I saw a little boy being pulled away from Jonas screaming bloody murder as they were put into different cop cars. I then saw the same boy looking a bit older and sitting at a table looking at a picture and crying. Everything went to normal and I looked at Jonas “You have a brother?” I watched as he looked at me utterly shocked “Who did you…” I thought of the little boy “He has a photo of him and you and he is sitting at a table and crying… I saw you guys get pulled into different cop cars?” I watched as tears streamed down his face “He tried to kill himself not long after going into foster care now I don’t where he is…” I watched as his clothes began to become ash and blew away in the air he wore normal clothes and his black dots were gone and so were his pointy ears. “What?” He looked at his hands and looked to the ashes that blew in the winds. “You need to stay out of the fight and find your brother he misses you…” He looked at me and then looked down I walked away and into the house, Ren looked at me and the others. “She is awesome!” Snakes said holding her hand and looking at me, I chuckled and she looked at them “I have never met such kind humans. It’s an honor to meet you all and I thank you for welcoming me into your home. I hope that we all get along and are able to free lots of people.” I nodded and the others flooded her with questions she told them about the magic realm and then I saw a portal open up Roger came out and looked at everyone he looked at me and sighed. “You are grounded.” Roger looked at me and hugged me and everyone chuckled and Jonas walked in and looked down. “Please don’t ever do that again…” He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer, I patted his back “I can’t promise that because if you guys keep plotting against me you better believe I will do that again.” I looked at everyone and Jonas came over to me and everyone looked at him “Yo dude why do you look... Normal?” I looked at everyone who looked Jonas up and down. “Something happened with the wolf spirit I gotta see what’s up.” I said before Jonas had to admit to being scared and having second thoughts about a battle like this and anyone would. I yawned “Anyway I should go do that now so I will be in my room…” I walked up the stairs and the dogs followed me. Flopping down on the bed the dogs jumped up and I yawned and closed my eyes and sighed, my hands at my side and feeling as I began to sink. Opening my eyes I looked to see the Wolf spirit. “Can I talk to you about Jonas?” The wolf spirit turned to me and sat down, “I have changed plans of attack.” I sat down in front of the wolf spirit and watched as a tale appeared in front of us cups filled with tea. “I don’t want the others to come to the battle,” He said calmly I remained calm despite the shock by his words. Grabbing a cup of tea I sipped and set it down gently and watched as the ripples in the black water formed at the legs of the table and around me. “Everyone should be scared about going into battle right if you aren’t then you have lost your sanity. People who are brave are not the ones that have no fear but push through fear right? You didn’t even give him a chance to try to be brave. What you are doing is not fair.” I looked in the cup is was red and tasted sweet and the table was black and I looked to the white wolf and he sighed as he picked up a cup and sipped his paws bend and acted more human than an animal. “You will destroy the base on your own with a little help from me.” I looked down and in the drink thinking of everyone if I was the only one who fought I could limit any chance of everyone getting hurt or dying. “ I know where the base is I got the information from the dragon I can lead you there.” I looked at him and took a sip of tea “Are you sure that’s best?” I said looking at him he nodded “I am sure of it and you will come to see it as well.” I looked at him and he looked down on me as he set his tea down taking another sip I looked at him as he walked to a door. Standing I followed him “I will walk you over the base.” I watched as the door opened and we were in the air above a cement building, “summon me when you reach this mountain top I will draw their fire while you go in and rescue the kids first. Call out for me when you need a portal to the magic realm I will have someone on the other side of the portal waiting for everyone.” I sighed the way he explained made it seem very easy, “Making your way this way and following your gut on magical energy. That guy you talked to has made a plan to shut off all collars and that will stop the voices that the possessed hear and then I will send a clone past all of them and clear any of them that are stilled possessed so that will help get you in and out faster.” I looked down on the huge building “When do we go?” Following the wolf spirit back to the door, I looked back to the table and drinks. Sitting down on the floor and in the water, I took a sip of the drink. “When you decide to wake up.” I nodded and sighed “Everything will be fine. Just know spirits can’t last more than a few hours. But I can sense when my time is running low, so I can charge into the woods and they will follow I will disappear and they will be on a wild goose chase looking for me.” I nodded and he looked at me and I set down the cup. “What should I say to the others?” He looked at me and sat down taking a sip he sighed and paused “No matter what you say they try to go after you and even when they realize that you are gone they will come after you. Your best choice is to freeze them all. And with the dragon the more ice the better.” I scoffed and looked at him “If you think I am going to freeze my friends you are crazy. I am sorry but I refuse to hurt my friends.” I looked at the spirit with a glare “it needs to be done. It doesn’t matter how you do it because the dragon’s nose can follow you.” I set down the cup and looked to the wolf spirit and felt my heart sink as I knew no matter what I wanted he could control my body if he wanted to. “Anything else?” He stood and I watched as the table disappeared “That is it…” I looked down “Do I have to freeze the humans too?” He nodded and I sighed and closed my eyes feeling as I sunk into the floor I opened my eyes to see the dogs laying around me. I stood and looked at the dogs, “You guys stay up here for a bit okay.” Walking down the stairs I saw everyone Jonas looked at me then himself and turned away he hated his inner heart thinking that because he was scared the powers had vanished. I looked down as each step on the stairs seemed to echo. Everyone gathered around me and I looked to Ren… “Oh yes, I forgot to mention take the fairy with you.” I looked at Ren and then the others, leaning over to Ren as everyone watched confused I whispered: “I need you to wait outside for me.” She looked at me confused but nodded and went outside Roger came to my side. “You okay Muffin?” he touched my face and I looked at him and felt tears form. I hugged him and he wrapped his arms around I backed away and touched his arm and watched as ice covered him. Consumed by ice he stood and I formed another layer of ice around him as the others questioned me confused. Jonas grabbed me “Muffin? Are you okay?” I nodded and he looked at Roger “Why did you freeze him?” I pushed Jonas away and held out my hand and watched as he was covered in ice. I looked to my dad and stood still, “ I understand.” he hugged me and I froze him as I walked away looking to Sparkles who looked at me with fear filled eyes I held out my hand and Ruffles jumped out in front of her “I won’t let you hurt her.” Sparkles grabbed him “Ruffles stop.” I felt tears go down my face as I froze Ruffles “I love you Sparkles.” he said as he thought his last words were going to Sparkles I felt my heart sink as Ruffles face froze over Sparkles thought she was going to die and so did the others. “I have to do this...” I said watching as I froze Sparkles doing them one at a time not because I couldn’t do them all but because I was waiting for the wolf spirit to call out to me changing his mind. I watched as I froze Gears then Snakes last, I felt my heart sink and I wiped away my tears and lifted my head and sighed as I went to the door. And turned to look over the pillars of screaming frozen friends, I sighed and opened the door quickly shutting it behind me.
