Chapter 25

"I couldn't...ever. You are wanted dead, really dead. In the darkest places of the world of the dead." 

"Weren't you almost killed last time?" 

"No, I had to disappear so I wouldn't be killed. 

"Right." I said. "I forgot you were a coward. I'm surprised you actually came to fight us yourself this time. Instead of putting all the monsters in front of you." 

He seemed to totally ignore me. "You have a couple of options. You can stay alive and then we take another magician's soul to raise the army of the dead." 

"Here are your options, you die, you die, or you die trying to kill us." 

"No I will not die." He snarled. "You could also join our side, I'm pretty sure you saw the presentation right?" 

"Yes, one of the most boring, and definitely the funniest presentations ever." 

"He is pretty convincing, but you still have some options. Number one, as you know join our side and fight with us. Number two is to fight me and die, and number three is willingly die to save your brother's life." 

"How about my options I gave you? Remember, somehow they all included die. What about the option fight you and you die?" 

"That wasn't one of my options." 

"Well it is now!" I grabbed my wand from my pocket, and prepared to fight. "Nat you ready?" I asked. 

"You bet!" 

"Nani." Protect, I said. I pointed my wand at Maddie, who was still asleep, and she seemed to be surrounded by magic. "Aca." Back, I yelled. Unfortunately Romo was way faster than Mohammad. He put up a shield and Nat and I did the same. 

"You are stronger, but you can't do this can you?" He held his shield with the hand that he didn't have his wand in. (The shield wasn't an actual metal shield, but it was a magical barrier more or less. Like shield balls were a magical ball around you.) Then with his other hand he tried to blast us. We had our shields up so it didn't work, but I felt mine weaken. 

I tried doing the same and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Nat doing it too. It was hard, but I did it. Nat had succeeded too. 

"Sancana." Blast, I said. I felt the power in my wand surge and suddenly it left my wand and hit Romo. His shield stopped the magic, but his magical barrier left him. That's when Nat struck, she blasted him and he flew back. He almost fell off, but unfortunately stayed on. He quickly regained his shield and posture, but he did seem somewhat weakened. 

"So are you going to run away again?" I asked. 

"I was sent to kill you, and was not given permission to return alive without you." He said through his teeth. 

"Wow, I'm surprised." Nat said. 

"Why do you-" 

"AMNA!" Destroy, I yelled. I saw an opportunity and I took it. He was blown backwards from a mini explosion. He blew right off the Sphinx and fell. "Good job Nat, nice distracting." 

"Candace, he'll be back. You know that right?" 

"Yes I do, but good job anyways. I looked back to see Maddie still sleeping. That's when I was caught off guard and tackled. In the last few days, I sure felt like a star football tight end or something. I had been tackled by so many ghosts, and now my good buddy (NOT) Romo. 

"Lesson before you die, never loose focus on the enemy." 

"Thanks, I think I knew that." I sup over and was on top of him. "Lesson before you die, always look out for a friend." I mocked his voice.
