" I could tell she ran all the way from home bare footed without even stopping for a while." Kyle said kneeling before her. He checked her pulse. "She's alive though"
"Well, good. She's not in grave danger or we're screwed." Jackson sighed and then began to order. "Get her an appropriate dress Allison. Alice and Kyle you guard the door. Evielyn you watch her."
"And what will you do?" Alice asked. She hated the way Jackson just orders them around just because they agreed he should be their leader.
"I'll supervise."
They all rolled their eyes but still had to do their job. When Nancy was dressed, they woke her up.
"Nancy? Nancy.. wake up." He shook
Her a little. "Nancy....."
She fluttered her eyes as she tried to make sense of what was going on or what had happened. Her first sight was Kyle's face who kneeled before her.
"What...." She swallowed the rest of the sentence due to Kyle's face almost inches away from hers. She was already blushing. "A...a little space here" he backs away and she stands up from the chair looking at them suspiciously. "Where am I?"
"The antique shop?" Allison answered facing away. "Should be very obvious."
"Can I know how I get here?" Nancy asked trying to remember what really happened before she passed out. The memory was a little foggy.
"You were chased by a Kresutian." Jackson answered this time and Nancy looked at him obviously asking for what the heck that is. "A five star shadow demon. If he has got you before we arrived,...."
Allison completed the sentence. "We're screwed. Fuckin screwed."
"I don't understand." Nancy was trying to make sense of what they were saying but it just isn't.
"Look. Long before, when we were suddenly picked to go on a mission, we got captured by the dark faes, Lutheran. While there we overheard about this little teenage girl who will destroy their large empire and on her 18th birthday her abilities will unlock." He looked at her . " That girl is you Nancy. Lutheran made sure you were watched everyday and when your abilities unlocked they set to kill you."
"Her abilities are unlocked. Yes. But yet I don't see anything special." Evielyn said starring deep into Nancy.
"I bet she doesn't even know how it even works or what she could do yet." Alice said.
"I'm curious too. She doesn't look any different from normal humans." Allison looked all over Nancy. "I mean I expected something different in her."
Nancy who has been listening to them since couldn't afford to keep quiet any longer. "I don't still understand. What do you mean? And why are you not classified as normal humans too?" Are they witches she thought. Or maybe vampires? No no. Those silly things aren't real. It's just spicers for movies.
"See here Nancy." Jackson sighed. "During our mission and while searching for you. We were granted skills according to our specialty." Nancy looked at him in interest to what he was saying. "We've trained in swordsmanship, archery and sorcery too."
Sorcery? What do they mean by that? That they're witches? "Sorcery?"
"Yes exactly. I could turn invincible, Alice can create force fields, Allison can sight see into the future and she's our top archer, Kyle can make a weapon out of anything and Evielyn can heal." Jackson said as she pointed at each of them as they displayed their powers.
Nancy just laughed. Yeah right. "So what you're saying is that you are magic beings and you do magic stuff huh?" Yeah. Pretty believable.
"Nancy." Evielyn called. "Now I don't know what you can do yet. But you are the most powerful of us. I can even feel the surge from you."
Nancy laughed again. "You know what, I think you all are saying nonsense. Darkfaes, magic, Lutheran? The fact that I am to destroy an empire?" She was laughing hard. It really was funny to her. "Wait. Who the heck is Lutheran again?"
"The king of the darkfaes." Kyle answered seriously but Nancy didn't feel the seriousness of his tone.
"Okay then. So now I'm some anti dark fae? How did I even get involved?"
"We'll tell you some other time. Maybe on the way. Right now we have to get you to get five worlds and get you ready to face Lutheran." Jackson said.
The laugh dies down as she saw their serious face and she was just so confused. Did they want her to believe them? "Okay. Enough. Enough of all this. You guys are taking this prank too far. I mean why go and find a creepy costume to chase me all the way here and now explain some nonsensical things to me. What are you guys getting in doing this? And now what? You have to get me to a five world "
