Hello everyone. I think my cliff hanger lasted long enough. Do they die, or do they live? You will just have to find out. :)

Now, I would like to specially thank PianoKIitty11 for an amazing character. (I tried my best with the picture, sorry if it doesn't look exactly like her.) 

Now, lets get on with the chapter!! :)

____________________________________________________________________________________

"Hello? Is anyone there?" A voice calls. My eyes are shutting again, and everything is all fuzzy. Before I know it I am out again.

***

"Come on, we are almost there." The voice says. My eyes open a tiny bit and I see large blue wings. I go to say something but the world around me goes black again.

***

I awake in a dimly lit room. Well, actually there are no lights at all. Just curtains that block out most of the sun. I sit up and feel a sharp pain throughout my side. I clasp my hand on my side and start to breath deeply.

"Hello?" I say barly. My throat is really dry. I stumble out of my bed and see I am still in my same clothing.

"Hello?" I say a bit clearer. My eyes blink a few times and I see I am in a small home. There are two other beds in the room. I go over to one and see Sakura there.

"Sakura?" I say shaking her arm. Nothing happens. "Sakura!" I say a bit louder. Still nothing. I go over to the other bed and see Alistair.

"Alistair!" I say shaking her arm. Still nothing. I stagger over to the door at the far wall. I struggle with the door nob.

I stumble out of the room and a sharp pain hits my side again. I grab it again and stumble down a hallway. I see stairs and start to go down them.

"Hello?" I call out.

"Hello." A voice says. I look over the railing and see a girl. She has jet black hair that is in a tight braid. She has piercing bright blue eyes, and a slender build. But what really draws my attention is her giant blue wings. They are feathery like a blue jays. They are very pretty, but her legs and feet are like a birds. Her feet have giant talons that could rip anything apart.

"Um... hello." I say, tearing my eyes away from her talons.

"I am glad you have woken up." She says smiling. Her long wings flap and her talons grab onto the railing of the stairs. I step back a bit.

"Azikel, but you can call me Azi." She says extending her hand. I stare blankly at it.

"You shake it, it's a form of greeting." She says to me. "How hard did you hit your head?" I smile and grab her hand.

"Willow and thank you. For," I start to say when she cuts me off.

"Welcome. You're the first one awake. The other two are in a different room." She says flapping her wings again and heading up stairs. I follow her to a room where she lands. She opens the handle and I see two beds in this room. I go in and go to Blue who is lying peacefully there.

"Blue." I say intertwining my hand in his. He coughs and opens his eyes a bit. "Blue!" I say squeezing his hand. The end of his lips turn into a smile.

"Hi Willow." I smile even wider. He sits up a bit and looks around. His eyes land on Azi.

"She saved us." I say smiling. He gets out of his bed and hugs me, before going over to Azi.

"Thank you so much." He says to her.

"Welcome. I mean, I just saw you all laying there in the woods. You all looked dead, just saying, so I couldn't just leave you all there." She says to us. Blue thanks her again before going back over to me.

"Did we complete the mission?" He asks.

"Well, we did kill the spider, so I am going to assume so." I say smiling.

"What the..." A voice says from behind. Rio is up and looking around. I giggle.

"Looks like you are all waking up. I will go to the girls." Azi says to us.

"Wait a second." I say looking around the room after she left. "Where is my staff." I say frantically. I don't remember seeing it next to my bed.

"Rio." I say looking at him.

"What?" He asks.

"Do you know where my staff is?" I ask him. He rolls his eyes but points out the door.

"Near the front door." He says.

"Thank you." I say going out the door pulling Blue behind me since our hands are still intertwined. I go down the stairs and a sharp pain goes up my side again.

"OW!" I yell letting go of Blue and grabbing my side with both hands.

"You okay." Blue asks. I nod and stand up straighter, but then crumple down again because the pain is now unbarable.

"No your not." Blue says. He picks me up bridal style and heads back up stairs.

"Put me down, I'm fine." I say complaining a bit. He goes into his room and plops me down on his bed.

"There. Now, stay there, I will go get your staff." He says walking away.

"Blue," I complain, but he already left.

"So, it's Blue." A voice says. I look at the door and see Azi standing there.

"Yeah." I say to her sitting up.

"You two, like, together?" She asks. I feel my cheeks heat up.

"No, just friends." I say to her.

"Oh, okay. Now, I have another question. Why were you all in the middle of the woods, half dead?" She asks. So I tell her about our mission and Coleta.

"Oh, wow, okay then." She says.

"Here you go Willow." Blue says sitting next to me handing me my staff. I point it out the window and vines start to crawl in.

"Hey, don't do that." Azi yells going over to the window.

"Don't worry. They will go away and it will look like nothing happened." I say. The vines come to me and they start to bloom a flower. I grab the flower and lift my shirt up a bit so I can see my side.

It is covered in a black substance. It pulses with my heart beat, and it seems to be spreading really quickly. I stare in horror at my side.

"Blue." I whisper. He looks next to him to see my side.

"Willow!" He says completely surprised and a bit terrified. I rub the flower on it and the black starts to calm down, but it doesn't go away.

"Blue, what do I do?" I ask looking at him.

"I don't know." He says back to me.

"I know. Come. One of my friends can help." Azi says. She leaves the window when I make the vines go back. I get up but to fall back down on the bed. Even with the flower it hurts so much. Blue picks me up again, but I don't complain this time. The world around me slowly starts to fade. Blackness swarms the side of my eyes, and soon I am left with nothing, but darkness.
