Chapter 12: Test gone wrong

They were all sad, angry and tired, if they decide to go back into the home of death, they would have to go through the test again and risk their life for James again,

“Why is it always you man, the last time you were the one slowing us down now it’s still you” Peter said as he broke the silence which they had managed to keep for hours

“Me?? I never wanted to be part of this stupid journey, you forced me to come along remember?”

“Hey guys calm do…” Alec was cut in my the angry look Kate had

“What did you mean by cut him off? He was slowing you down” Kate said with a mix feeling, angry and confused

“Well I guess he was too embarrassed to tell you, the asshole was slowing us down he broke our oath, he was trying to kill an innocent so we had a huge fight that lead to his death” Peter explained as he paced around where they were seated.

“He is dead?” Alice asked as she poked him on his shoulder

“He looks real to me tho” she added.

“I ripped off his head so he should be dead, not sure how he came back” Peter explained further

“Maybe he took help from the shadows” she whispered to her self but Peter who was standing beside her could hear and he said it out loud

“Maybe he his a shadow, remember shadows can….” He was not allowed to complete his sentence when James landed a huge punch on his face and he fell to the ground

Breathing fast and heavily James said

“I am no shadow it’s still the old me, you killed me but I forgive you now you planing to kill me again” he screamed at Peter on the floor

“What the heck is your problem” he asked then turned back to wall away when he felt a really tight grip on his leg and in few seconds he was flying.

Peter was fully in his beastly form, long claws, blue eyes, fully hairy and they were all standing, demon feet.

“Kate won’t you stop them?” Alice asked as she was shocked at how the boys are behaving,

“What’s the point, we lost it all already he would never be able to overcome his doubt, James is really slowing us down”

“Kate!!! Why would you say that, it’s not his fault, he lost his whole clan here. So try to think like him” Alice said as she turned her back at her friend

“It’s the effect of the witches” the young boy from the third colony said to the warrior from the first colony

“How do we get them all calm down?and why are we not affected?” The warrior of the second colony asked as he sat beside them

“Well I guess because we hold no grudges against anyone and before we share one love” the boy from the third colony explained as he looked at the people he was talking to.

“How do we help them?” The first colony warrior asked

“Well you both have to make the pass out and we have to leave this place fast” the third colony boy said as he started to pack up his bag, ready to move again.

“Ok then you take James, I take Peter”

“Seriously you wicked, why do I have to take the Blue Fox even though I am stronger than you”

“Seriously you are not half as strong as me, I would break every bone in your body with just one hand”

“Wanna try dance?”

“Noooooo, nobody is dancing, you both are….and they are off fighting” the third colony boy said as had a disappointed face on.

“How I wish the world could just wipe out, like let it all erase now, but if the shadows killed all the humans and night creatures, who would kill them.”

“Even if one person or group of people suddenly appear and kill the shadows, they would still get corrupted by earth” he said to his self as he continued packing

“When the earth is corrupted no way out even if we all die.” He said as he walked away from them an their crazy act.

*************************************************

“Hey you can’t kill me” James managed to say as he was still been choked,

The young which just knelt down there as she watched her aunty suck out life from the first person to ever give her a good compliment.

“Amanda, Amanda, Amanda” she heard a voice call her name

She ignored at first but soon the voice got louder in her head, her aunt always told her witch don’t have an inner voice.

Soon it was so louder she could not hear anything and then she fell into a trance,

There they were, all the souls of the blue Fox, chained while some were in cages. Even in their soul form, they looked tired and sad.

She thought it was just a few but after walking for like an hour, she saw there was a lot of Blue Fox, both children and women

“How do I find the voice that was calling me” she whispered to her self as she tried to stay away from the cages

“Here we are, it’s our voice you hearing” the voice said and this time it was more louder and clearer

“But I still can’t see you” she said put out in her normal voice, not too loud or too low,

Then the soul appeared, it was the soul of the people her aunt had been tell her about, the first leaders of the Blue Fox, they called them the great

“The great!!” She screamed out in fear as she bow.

“No need to be afraid or to bow, we need your help”

“How can I help?”

“Save the last of our clan, him and his clan, they seek the hood witch”

Then she was back,

“We’re you sleeping?” The scream of her aunt brought her back fully

“Noo ma and I am sorry for this ma” she said before reciting the spell

“Ohh ye the dark where the Blue Fox reign, I give you the key and freedom, set the last of your kind free from us” she said and look around

Her aunt had fear in her eyes but when few minutes passed and nothing happened she laughed and choked both James and Amanda hard

“C…ut…” James said as he was getting choked hard

“Bl….ood” he said again

Amanda tried to read his lips but it was not working as she was also in discomfort too,

“Amanda remember or we die too” her inner voice said

“What I have an inner voice wow, could you when I am close to death”

“Well we can talk about that later, first use the knife you holding”

“F..o, blood, that the last part” she screamed in her head

In a jiffy she reached for the knife but her aunty was faster

“I don’t think so miss Amanda, you mother would be happy to see you dead “

“We need blood or he dies”

James face turned pale, the strength to fight was no longer there, few seconds more he would be out of oxygen and drop dead.

“Think Amanda think”

“My nails” she said, she reach out to her other hand at her back and broke one of her long nails

“Please bleed, bleed you stupid finger” she yelled out

“Blood!!” Her aunt screamed out as she she sniffed the air trying to find where it was coming from

“You too late bitch” Amanda said as she gave a devilish smile

“You!!!! You dead” her aunty screamed and was about to use her her magic to choke her when she felt their cold presence,

“Girls!!!! They are here run” she yelled out as her and the other witches hoped on their broom and moved.

The fog cleared and the rest of the team could see the room where James was, they rushed over but she was gone, he was lying on the floor as he was starting to wake up when his team mate got there.
