chapter three
Chased by an ice sculpture?
"Oh, no," I said as I turned to run. A shadow master as an ice sculpture is not what you want to deal with. When I got outside I continued to run. How do I beat an enemy that I don't want to kill? I thought. I may be able to get through to him, though. I stopped, then turned around.
"This isn't you, Sparkles. Your being controlled! Stop this!" I yelled at him. He continued to run toward me. An ice sword suddenly grew in his hands, and he aimed it at me. "Well, this isn't going as I planned." I turned around again and ran.
"What's wrong? You can't hurt him can you? Or is it you won't?" Jessica's teasing voice yelled behind me. "Well then, he'll beat you easily. Sparkles, I want her dead before sundown." Sundown was a few hours away. I heard Sparkles speed up, he was getting closer.
"I have to do a spell," I said as I reached in my pocket to grab a piece of paper.
"Give me speed so I may run
time to escape before the
setting sun."
I said. Suddenly my legs were going super fast, then they slowed. I soon realized that I was flying. I looked at the top of the paper. I had read a spell to help me fly faster. Before the setting sun. . . OH GREAT! the before meant before as in in front of! I thought.
I landed with a thud, I had lost any concentration I had. Quickly, I got up, then started to run for my life. CRACK! Lightning and went across the sky. I lifted my hands, pointed them at the sky, then led lightning right in front of Sparkles before I let it go.
"What was that for?! I was on my way to the fairy hangout and I'm sent down to the ground," said a voice behind me.
I made the mistake of looking behind me. CRASH! I had hit a wall, it was a dead end. I looked around for an escape. I was toast, or would it be ice? I looked over at the girl who had, apparently, been riding the lightning. She had black hair, eyes that were unusually blue, and a necklace that was a flame, I could've sworn it was moving.
The girl looked over at Sparkles then said, "You in trouble? I'll help." She put her hands on either side of her necklace.
"Fire, fire come down
destroy ice and protect!"
She moved her hands in one quick motion and sent a stream of flame towards Sparkles. The ice melted and Sparkles was standing there, not trying to kill me.
"H-how did you do that? Who are you?" I asked the girl, realizing that the flame had come from her necklace. It had been moving, it was real flame.
"I used my necklace, every Fire-messenger has one. My name is Ruby," she answered.
"You don't look like a Ruby," I said.
"Oh, really? You'll change your mind in a moment," she said. suddenly her skin turned blood red and her hair turned to fire. "Do I look like a Ruby now?"
I nodded, "Ya- you do."
"OW!!!!!! Shut up!" Ruby started clutching her head. "It hurts!" She fell over. I rushed over to help her. "DON'T TOUCH ME! You'll only make it worse. Mutants hurt."
"Mutant? I'm a sorceress," I said.
Suddenly she stood up, grabbed Sparkles and ran toward the main house. I ran after her.
