Chapter 8

When they got there Venus asked, “Where have you been Tommy and where’s Fira? Ryan where did you go? Wait am I missing something here?”

“Yes you are. We have to go back to the castle. Fira used up all of her energy making a shield for them with her power. Tommy is going to carry her back with some of his black magic, and yes I know,” Ryan said.

“Okay I have nothing to say you answered all my thoughts,” Venus replied.

“Well then I’ll go get Fira so we can go Ryan,” said Tommy as he left to get Fira. When Tommy came back, he had Fira in his arms, “Okay we can go Ryan.”

“Okay let’s go, we will see you later Venus,” Ryan said as they walked to the water hole.

Once they were there, Tommy went up to the water hole and said, “Hakimo-Bummlebist. I’ll see you when we get there.” Then Tommy with Fira in his arms went under the water.

“I hope she will be okay,” said Ryan to himself and went into the water.

After about 15 minutes, Tommy came out of the wall of water and said, “Bummlebist-Katono. Okay Fira we’ll get you home now.” Careful Tommy and Ryan climbed down the hill and out from under the waterfall. “I can take her on my horse with me or on Fireball, which should I do?” Tommy asked.

“Go on Fireball he is faster, he likes you, and he will worry if you don’t,” Ryan told Tommy, “when you get to the castle put her in the stable if her mother finds out she will be in trouble.”

“Okay,” said Tommy as he and Ryan put Fira on Fireball. Once she was on he climbed on and Fireball didn’t even shake. Then Ryan helped Tommy pass grandmother willow and Tommy thanked him. Then Tommy whistled and Fireball took off towards the castle. When Ryan got to the castle, Fira was still asleep. “What did you mean by and yes I know when you were talking to Venus back in Atlantis?” Tommy asked.

“You know I wasn’t talking to Venus,” Ryan told him.

“Okay so I read your aura. I was just wondering about you and so I did it. I’m sorry but I know I really shouldn’t have thought of the idea to use black magic on her I know the risk, but I wanted to get her home to make sure she was safe,” Tommy said.

“Uhhh... someone put the light out,” said Fira as she woke up, “Wait a minute where am I?” Then she turned her body and saw Ryan and Tommy staring at her, “What are you guys looking at? How did I get here? Where’s Venus? Why are you still staring and why was I asleep? Oh ya and someone put the damn light out.”

“Uhhh…can you repeat that?” Tommy asked.

Then Ryan said, “I got it. First, you’re here in the stable. Next you cause you woke up with a strange first sentence. Then Tommy got you here with some of his black magic. Then, Venus is back in Atlantis, same reason, and you used up all your energy. As for the light,” Ryan threw an old rag and a nail gun at Tommy and said, “Fix it.”

“Okay now. WHY THE HELL DID YOU USE BLACK MAGIC ON ME TOMMY I COULD HAVE DIED DO YOU KNOW THAT?” Fira screamed.

“Chill. I did it to get you safe Fira Ya I knew but I had to risk it for your safety and if you died I would have killed myself,” Tommy told Fira.

“Look Fira it wasn’t all his doing I knew the chances too, but we had to do something,” said Ryan.

“So you guys just did it to help me? I guess I did over react at least I’m fine,” Fira said. Then she added, “Ummm… Ryan did Tommy tell you about Nicoliyias?”

“Yes I’m going to go fine her in a bit,” Ryan told her.

Then from out of nowhere, Nicoliyias popped up and said, “No need. Ryan we need to talk,” then she looked over at Fira, “In private.”

“It’s okay Ryan me and Tommy will go talk outside We’ll see you later. Okay?” Fira said as she grab Tommy’s arm hard and made him get up and go with her. “Bye guys,” she said. Once she was outside she said, “The nerve of that girl.”

“Fira come here,” Tommy said rubbing his arm.

“Wait did I hurt you? Hold still I’m going to make it not hurt,” Fira said as she went over to Tommy.

“It’s fine don’t use anymore of your magic,” Tommy told her.

“It’s nothing this time I just had a bit of trouble I’m fine,” Fira told him as she reached her hand out over his arm.

Tommy pushed her hand away and said, “Ya you had a problem but it was big”

“Sorry,” Fira said, “Hey Tommy would you mind going and getting Fikia?”

Tommy said, “No I’ll be right back,” and he left. Meanwhile inside the stable Nicoliyias was talking to Ryan.

“Do you know how mean she was to me?” Nicoliyias asked Ryan.

Ryan looked up at her and said, “I’m sorry she is going through a hard time right now. You saw that boy, Tommy, she is in love with him and cares so much about him just as much as he cares about he but he won’t tell her or anything because he fells unworthy because she is royalty and he is not.”

“Oh and … wait you said they both care about each other yet he feels unworthy that doesn’t make any sense. Man people these day, they can’t get their feeling right,” Nicoliyias said.

“Maybe they will,” Ryan said looking up at Nicoliyias.

Fira walked in, “Sorry guys but I need to get Fireball.”

Then Nicoliyias said, “Go ahead,” in a calm voice.

“Ryan what did you do to her is she hypnotized?” Fira asked.

Nicoliyias spoke up for Ryan, “No I just wanted to say sorry. I didn’t know that you were going through a hard time and… I know how it is for you to be waiting for someone to love you. I got to go now, I might come back later.” As she walked out the door Ryan faintly heard her whisper to herself, “Ya I know how you feel.” Then Fikia and Tommy walked into the stable.

“You wanted me Fira,” said Fikia.

Fira looked at Tommy and said to her sister, “Yes I need you to make sure Tommy stays out of trouble while I’m in town.”

“Sure no problem, Ryan you do need help around the stable right?” Fikia asked.

“Ya I can have him help me clean up,” Ryan said. With that, Fira climbed on to Fireball’s back and went to the door of the stable.

“Who are you going to see while your in town?” Fikia asked.

“Don’t worry I’ll get you some candy. Bye guys,” Fira said as she rode off with Fireball. She knew what she was going to do and who to talk to but she didn’t know who would help her. She rode all the way to town and got off Fireball at the town stable. She was searching for her friend, Veronica. Veronica and her husband Zax owned a club, so they knew a lot of people.
