195–Saving All My Mates
Enya‘s POV:
Lazlo and I ran into the fields in search of Thiago. After Lazlo accepted me, I felt this surge of energy inside me. Now that I wasn‘t weak anymore, I was able to feel more confident and in strength. These fields didn‘t look scary at all.
“How do we find him?” Lazlo was finally in front of me to stop me from sprinting without a hint.
“Just stand aside, I will look for him now,” I guided Lazlo, raising my hands and not closing my eyes this time, “Thiago! Where are you?” | demanded, and the field split open with no difficulty.
It was much easier this time. We followed the shown path and soon we came face to face with a scary situation.
Thiago had been ready to shift while the creature stood in front of me. One could tell a scuffle had already broken down between the two.
The creature was a bald, skinning, and slimy tall figure with imitating animal–like features, I couldn‘t really tell what it was, but I needed to hurry.
“Lazlo! pull Thiago to the side,” I ordered as I raised my hand and walked ahead to come face to face with the creature.
“You came back!” the creature let out a maniacal laugh as it attacked me. The moment his stalk–like arms reached me, they froze in the mid–air.
“Ugh! what are y–ou!” he let out a cry in his deep, petrifying voice when my magic twisted his arms and shoved him back. I noticed we were near that tall tree.
Lazlo was comforting Thiago while I was using my powers to drag the creature around. The only issue was the lack of information on how to cause actual damage to the creature.
That is when Thiago‘s information came in handy.
“Keep him distracted,” Thiago yelled, running away with Lazlo to the tree.
The creature turned to them and hissed. His life was in that tree. Before it could get closer to Thiago and Lazlo. I pulled him back with the magic. It was kind of beginning to get hard to hold him down because he was using a lot of strength to free himself.
“UGHHH!” I yelled in agony, not letting it go while Thiago and Lazlo set the tree on fire. Once the tree caught the fire, the pressure I was feeling began to subside.
“N0000000!” the creature‘s blood–curdling scream filled the air while its skin melted right in our sight. Thiago and Lazlo rushed back to me. We watched it burn in flames and disappear. The storm that once held the fields was now gone. The noises and the whispers were no longer occupying the air.
“Thiago!” i landed in his arms for comfort. He had tightened his arms around me, too. Lazlo didn‘t really say much. I reckoned he was still worried about the decision we made.
We walked out to the road and once we hit the road; we found Maynard and Christina waiting for us. We were so tired that we sat down on the hard surface of the road to take a breather.
“I know what you did to save me. I will never be able to forget it,” Thiago whispered in my ear. He figured I had accepted Lazlo because there was no other way I could do magic and survive. He knew I would have never done it for myself, but I did it for him.
“I wasn‘t going to leave you there,” I whispered back. I did notice how silent Lazlo had been. Dang! He was even eyeing Thiago weirdly. I hope me accepting him has not changed him somehow.
It was only then Maynard, and I shared a glance that only lasted for a few seconds. I have heard him talk to Christina. I heard it all. I was upset in order to save myself from his mother; he decided to kill me with his cheating. He might have not known that, but he ended up gossiping about me with his friends and causing me a lot of pain.
