I turned around and fixed my eye in that directionㅡ Zephyr. I rubbed my eyes fast and opened it. But he was gone. Like how Eli went. Angela stopped while the others continued walking, "What's up, Raven?" Her voice had a hint of fear. I didn't look at her. My eyes affixed to where Zephyr was. He's gone... I screamed inside my head. "Zephyr...?" I mumbled once more. "W-what?" Angela stammered. "Zephyr..." I though, "but who is he?" Somewhat... there was a missing memory in my mind. When he appeared, an electric shock shot onto my mind and made me remember... I remembered that I don't remember anything. What happened to me...? "Zephyr... Andrews?" Angela said. I turned to her and unknowingly a tear fell from my eyes, it was cold, "Why am I crying...?" I asked in a high tone. Angela's face in horror she screamed for the other three and ran towards them while I was there, standing with tears in my eyes. But then everything blacked out. I felt dizzy, my head aching. And then somewhere in that moment, a light shined upon me. Pure light. Heavenly. I felt a cold wind in my ear, a soft melodic whisper rang in my ears, "Raven... somewhere in your heart there is one thing that will make everything return to the normal state. You are the key to everything in the world. You have to be careful, other creatures are looking for you. To kill you. You will have to face the truth. I know that someday you will reach my expectation. Make me believe in you... I trust you, my daughter." And all was over. I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't. My hands felt pain. I was tied, I suppose. I tried to move but I was paralysed. I tried to speak but my mouth couldn't open. I'm not breathing. I screamed inside my head. But why...? But who...? None of the four did this, I know. If one of them did, she must be practicing black wica. But... this is too strong. I heard a rough husky voice near me, "Hekiz thaduz hergh?" Goblins. I thought. They had this weird accent, this weird language. Their voice heavy with a hint of a growl. Of course it was when they are in their monster forms. They are beautiful creatures if they take human form. Goblins eat human souls. It's amusing to watch when humans get deceived by them. I tried to nudge, but I still couldn't move. Goblin magic's too strong. But if I'm free from this spell, I can take them. I know I can. But that dream... Is that real? Or just a figment of my imagination. Who is she? That voice so familiar, yet I have no idea.
ㅡ Angela's POV ㅡ Another witchy morning. I got up from bed and sighed, I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I went to the bathroom and took a bath, then changed, ate and went off to school. I met Nolaine, Emilya and Rose near the fountain. I wonder where Raven is... I thought. I know we treat her unfair. But the reason is too dangerous. It's a secret. If it gets out, the world will probably end. I want to be her friend... again. ----------- As we walked in the hallway, we saw Raven walking alone, with her head down. I could feel the world on her shoulders. "Let's call it truce." Emilya sighed as her braided hair fell back on her back. Nolaine smiled, "I miss her. Yeah, we really should." And everyone agreed on it. Raven caught our attention and we all smiled, "You didn't run." Nolaine sincerely said and flip her hair. She just nodded in reply and we walked together, just like before the incident. A real covenant. I could feel the magic surrounding us if we're together. Raven makes the group complete. And it hurts to see us push her away. Making her feel like she's not part of the group. And then before I knew it, she stopped, staring at nowhere. I was afraid it might be him. The root of the danger in Raven's life. I stopped, noㅡ my whole body stopped. "What's up Raven?" I said as fear shook me. She mumbled something I couldn't hear properly but I read her lips perfectly. Zephyr. I froze for a second there and stammered, "W-what?" it seemed like she was thinking of something. Her eyes showed horror like from that time. It pained me to see her like this, "Zephyr... Andrews?" I asked for confirmation. She looked at me, all teary-eyed. And the worst thing happened, a teardrop fell. "Why am I crying...?" her high pitched soft voice rang in my ears. And that's where it hit me. My face in horror, I ran towards the three. So fast that I forgot about Raven's state. I was worried and just had to call Nolaine. "Nolaine! Nolaine!" Just a few feet away from her she turned around, Emilya and Rose speechless as they saw the look in my eyes. They got what I was supposed to say, I cried rivers hoping it wouldn't come back. Hoping darkness wouldn't come back. We ran like the wind to where Raven was. Yes, Nolaine was too far away from us, so I didn't make it in time, now we lost Raven... again. I broke down in tears and on my knees, "I failed. Again. I left her." They comforted me and told me to get up. "Come on Angela, we'll find her. Whoever that creature is, we'll slay him." Nolaine's voice was in rage. "They're not gonna be far away." Rose said. "I have a feeling..." Emily said. "What is it Em?" Nolaine asked as her right hand on her shoulder. "Goblins." Her voice in fear, every one of us in shock. We can't take down goblins. Only Raven can. What are we gonna do now? Nolaine sighed in distraught, "Unbelievable. Out of all the creatures that are in this hell of a world, goblins are the first to take her... again?" She said. "It's my fault..." I said looking at nowhere. Blaming myself inside was killing me. "Nolaine..." Rose spoke in a soft gentle voice, "I know what to do." What...?
I feel loved. Teehee~ I'm such a dork O u O;; That's true. As long as Nolaine, Emilya and hopefully Rose would go online now and 'specially you will continue reading this story, 'till the end.
