Battle
Enrico suddenly looks like a swamp monster now that he's in combat mode. He can't let these creatures take away her bride. The werewolf seems to look determined to fight him. He decided to give him what he wanted and struck him with magic. Justin got thrown away by the fairy prince. Although he seems to become braver once he gets back on his feet. He can't let that monster looking fairy take Arabelle. She's better off with the vampire cause he became his friend after just a short time in their journey.
“I can see that you don't know how to give up.” Enrico said with wild red eyes.
“I never give up. I'm an alpha!” Justin replied and suddenly felt more energized.
He runs to attack the prince again after saying that. After all he's been through, he can't just let a fairy defeat him. Justin came from a long line of alphas and he will prove his worth in this world. His pack may not be proud of him but he will do this for himself. He got Enrico wounded from his attack. Although he still needs to be cautious since his enemy uses magic. He looks at Armand who seems to have already finished his own battle with the fairies. He's also using magic to defeat them.
“How are you using magic?” Justin shouted at him while he waited for the fairy prince to recover.
“I'm a warlock. Didn't I tell you that earlier?” Armand replied and casted his final attack spell.
“I didn’t know that. Good job!” Justin commended him.
“I'm done here. Let me help you with the fairy prince.” Armand said and walked towards him.
Enrico can't believe that he got wounded by a mere werewolf. He can feel the wounds burning his flesh and can't seem to recover. Although he can still use his magic to kill those creatures. When he looks around, Arabelle is nowhere to be seen anymore. It made him mad cause the wedding had already been prepared. How can he get married without a bride? The fury made him get up to face his enemies. They both look relaxed and ignore him which made him want to hurt those two so badly.
“Where's the girl?” Enrico shouted at them.
“What girl? Did we see a girl around here?” Justin asked, laughing as if teasing the fairy prince.
“Stop mocking me! Bring her to me.” Enrico commanded.
“I don't think you will ever see the girl ever again.” Armand said and got ready to fight again.

Ralph is still carrying Arabelle in his arms as he runs away from the palace. He didn’t want to leave his two friends behind but he doesn’t have a choice. If Arabelle becomes the fairy prince's wife, she can no longer come home. He knows how she loves her family and he needs to bring her home. Although he didn't know which way to go for them to get out of this world. It was blurry when they arrived here because of the blood moon. All he can do is to look for the golden highway he saw before.
“Just hang on tight. We're going home.” He told Arabelle who still has a far away look in her eyes.
As much as he wanted to wake her up, he didn't know how. Maybe Armand can do that but he got left behind with Justin to fight with the fairies. Ralph is hoping that they will finish that battle and follow them soon. He's confident that they will win and they can go back to the human world as well. Arabelle looks tired from being under the fairy prince's spell. He decided to put her down so he could climb up the tree to find the golden highway or the bridge.
“Stay there, I have to take a peek.” He told her as if she could understand him.
He climbs up to the highest tree he can find around them. Although all of them are taller compared to the trees in the human world. Good thing he's a vampire and made it easy for him to climb up. He was able to see the view of the Invisible City along with the enchanted forest. The golden bridge is still far away from where they are. It's connected to the golden highway but still far. They need to go around the enchanted forest first to reach the golden highway and then the golden bridge to go home.
“We have to go around the enchanted forest. Do you think you can walk?” He informed her after he got down the tree he climbed earlier.
Arabelle just stares at him blankly as if she's not hearing anything. Good thing she didn't stay away while he's at the top of the tree. He chuckled at himself when he realized that she's not in the position to communicate right now. Instead of trying to talk to her, he just carried her again in his arms. It will be a long walk from here since he can't use his superspeed. He didn't want to miss their turn and end up going back and forth. Also, he's waiting for Justin and Armand to follow them soon.
