Forever Love | Xavier Thorpe

Chapter 5

Xavier kicked the front seats and yelled in anger. All he could think about was Blair, she was in danger and he was here, chained in a car unable to do anything. He heard urgent scrambling on the roof and saw Thing sliding squeakily on back window. "Yes! Yes! Yes, Thing!" He cheered.

***

Students shouted as they ran across the quad, fearing for their lives. While Crackstone was facing Blair, he didn't notice Wednesday standing behind him with a sword, her anger level grew as she saw him near her sister, she was not going to lose her like Goody lost Constance.

"Howdy, pilgrim." Wednesday greeted him.

"How canst thy heart still beat? What demon sorcery is this?" Crackstone yelled. Just then, Xavier ran out with his bow and arrow, and saw Crackstone near Blair.

"Stay away from her!" He demanded. He aimed an arrow for Crackstone and shot but it didn't hit him, instead, Crackstone used his staff to stop it, he changed its aim and shot it for Xavier, Blair's eyes widen and she teleported inf front of him, blocking the arrow from its intended target, she had been shot instead and she fell to the ground. "No! Oh my God!" Xavier yelled as he ran to her side.

"I'm fine. Go. Get them out of here!" But he doesn't leave, he doesn't want to leave her side, he didn't want to lose her. "Now!" She demanded.

"Okay! Come on, guys. Let's go! Go! Go!" He said, helping the students escape the quad.

Blair pulled the arrow out of her shoulder and grabbed Wednesday's hand that had been held out for her and Wednesday pulled her back to her feet. Blair stood to the side, knowing that this fight was her sister's, she needed to prepare for the spell. All her energy was needed for the spell. Wednesday swung her sword at Crackstone but was blocked, Crackstone swung but Wednesday ducked and backflipped, kicking his hat off in the process. Crackstone swung his staff straight down from above but hit the ground as Wednesday moved away, Wednesday swung for his face but was blocked by his staff. Two more swings were made but both times were blocked. Wednesday and Crackstone swung at the same time but this time when the block was made, the sword shattered.

Blair ran in front of her sister, knowing that this time it was her turn. Crackstone thrusted the staff towards the twins and an arcane magic pulse was emitted from the staff, aimed for them, but Blair blocked it. "Scutum! [Translation: Shield!]" Blair yelled and a forcefield surrounded the twins, protecting them. The pulse's level intensified and pushed down the twins, Blair's hand remained up, holding the shield for as long as she could.

Crackstone let out a malevolent cackling. "I will send you back to hell." He threatened. Blair's control was starting to falter as the forcefield had started to be drained and was pulled into the staff, but before the forcefield had fully disappeared, Crackstone was stabbed through the back with a small section of the sword, he turned to reveal Bianca, he released a hideous, gurgling wail and slapped her. A slap that sent Bianca flying.

"Wednesday, grab a sword and stab him now." Blair demanded. Wednesday did just as she said, she grabbed a piece of the sword and just as Crackstone turned, Wednesday stabbed him through the heart and Blair started the spell. "Lucis potestati, Magia recti, Hoc terrorem mittite Ad noctem aetemam. Infernus te e nucleo suo proiecit, at Terra te amplius non tenebit. Cum caelum tibi locum esse non possit, nunc delemus carnem tuam et sanguinem. [Translation: Powers of light, Magic of right, Cast this fright, into forever's night. Hell threw you from its inner core, but Earth won't hold you anymore. Since Heaven cannot be your place, your flesh and blood we now erase.]" Crackstone's flesh began to sizzle as Wednesday twisted the blade and he began to turn to dust. He was being burnt from the inside and he soon exploded into fire, spreading his demise throughout the quad and his ring dropped to the floor.
