A Magical Journey

chapter thirteen

John's P.O.V. :

I awoke with a terrible throbbing pain in my head. I struggled to remember what happened.

All I remembered was bending over to pick something up and then getting whacked in the head with something and blacking out. As I remembered this I put my hand on the back of my head where I had gotten hit and sure enough, there was a lump.

"J-John?" I heard a faint voice say. I looked over and saw Nati laying on the ground beside me and a little blood trickling from a small cut on her forhead.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"Besides the throbbing pain in my head, ya I guess so. Where's Luna?"

As soon as she asked where Luna was, I realized that Luna had'nt ever come back. I really was'nt good at this whole protector thing. I had this feeling though that she was ok, but if anything happened to her I would never be able to forgive myself.

"I do'nt know Nati, but I have this feeling that she is ok."

"How the fuck do you know if she is okay, when she is'nt even here!" she said, wwith anger dripping from the last few words. "John I'm sorry I know it's not your fault."

"Do you even remember what happened?" I asked, hoping that she would remember.

"All i remember is..."she started to say, she seemed to really be concentrating on what she was saying,"June! That fucking double crossing bitch! I have a feeling that she is probably at the castle and June is behind it!"

We both were startled when we suddenly heard a rustling in the bushes, but were calm again when we saw that it was just Hoot. He was hopping around, it almost seemed as if he wanted to talk to us.

"Maybe I can use my telekinesis power to some how communicate with it, but I do'nt think it will work." Nati said doubtfully.

"We have to try something...anything, so that we can find Luna." I said trying to encourage her.

Nati's P.O.V. :

"We have to try something...anything, so that we can find Luna." John said trying to encourage me.

I've never heard of anyone that had my ability talking to animals, it was always humans that they talked to. Then again no one ever tryed to, maybe I could be the first. Then it came to me...I understood.

"Hellllo? Can You understand me...Of course not you are just a human." Hoot said as he started hopping away.

"Wait Hoot! We need your help." I called after him.

There was now a slight breeze rustling through the trees and fallen leaves, giving me a foreboding feeling.

"I will be glad to help only, because Luna is my friend though. Sadly my wing is broken though." Hoot said as he indicated his broken wing.

I then rummaged through my pack that had supplies in it. "Ahha!" I said aloud as I came across one of the spells that one of the villagers gave to me, it was a healing spell too.

We rebuilt our small fire and I started the semi-long process of healing Hoot's wing.

"What?! That's crazy! We have to attack now!" John said with a facial expression of concern and anger.

"If you think about it John it makes sense," I started to say, in an attempt to try and calm John down,"If we attack during the night, we will have night as our cloak of disguise."

When I said this John seemed to have calmed down. We continued to sit around the fire while I listened to the rest of Hoot's plan for Lun's rescue.
