~Waglington's POV~

I watch in agony as Carter is kidnapped. Ianite and Jordan were fuming. Sonja and Tucker were holding onto each other, terrified of the God they chose to follow. Tom runs a hand through his hair and he sits on the ground in shock. My heart aches, and I don't know why.

"Why did he take her...." Sonja murmurs. Ianite sighs.

"Carter's father, Mot, was Dianite's right hand man. Mianite must think that he can use her to draw out Dianite's spirit and end things forever." Ianite muses.

"We have to save her! Who knows what Mianite will do to her..." Jordan's voice falters.

"Mianite is supposed to be good...." Tucker comments. I turn to them.

"We aren't in our own world! Mianite is evil and we can't hope that he will suddenly turn good!" I shout. Everyone's eyes widen at my outburst. I pull out my Divine Intervention spell and teleport home. Tears begin to fall down my cheeks. I had begun to care for Carter....

~Carter's POV~

I scream in unbearable agony as my wings are removed from my back.

"Make sure there is no way to escape. We can't have her running back to resurrect my brother." A voice calls from my shadows. My vision is blurry and I can't make out who it is.

"Wh-why.....am I.....here....." I struggle to whisper.

"Dianite will pay a hefty ransom to keep the daughter of Mot safe. I won't let you go until I have ended him....or we can make this easier. You can go back and be a spy for me. Kill Ianite....and I will return your Father." The voice says. Pain erupts from my back even more.

"I'll do it! Please just make the pain go away!" I scream. A chuckle echoes throughout the room.

"I will lead your friends to rescue you so they won't suspect anything. But if you tell anyone of this, then I will kill your father, and that wizard you like so much." The voice, which I realize finally is Mianite, growls. The presence disappears and I'm left in the cage, waiting for my rescuers.

~Jordan's POV~

I stare into the distance that Carter was taken. I would rescue her even if it killed me. Suddenly, I see a spot floating through the air. Springing to my feet, I fly into the air and retrieve it. A black feather....

"Guys!" I shout as I land near the group.

"What is it Sparklez?" Lady Ianite asks me. I hold up the feather.

"Carter is trying to leave a trail for us to follow." Wag murmurs. Sonja looks around at the group, our lethargic atmosphere causing everyone to move slower.

"Come on guys! We nay not have known her long but she's our friend! We can't let Mianite use her to get back at Dianite. Tom, she's your alternate version's daughter, so you definitely need to help. Let's gear up and rescue her." Sonja tried to galvanize all of us. Wag hops up and pulls out his rapier.

"I'll do whatever it takes to save her." He announces. I stand up with him.

"I'll go ahead and follow the trail, figure out where it leads. Tucker, bring the RV with everyone later on. We don't know what we will face, so be ready for anything." I delegate. We all set off, getting things ready. In my heart, I knew I had to be the first one to find her. I love her.

~Waglington's POV~

I realize that Jordan wanted to be the first to find her. Did he like her romantically? I didn't know, but I wasn't going to let him go on his own. Carter....why is she so important? Why does she make me feel is way. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I set off to follow the trail of her feathers. Jordan was about 30 meters ahead, and I hung back so he couldn't detect me. He kept flying straight, and stopped to land and look around. Lost the trail probably.

Dropping into a tree, I see another feather to my left. I immediately turn and go that way. Let Jordan find his own way to her if he wanted to be the hero.

Waggles....

Martha's voice breathes through my head. When she becomes a goddess, I told her I would follow her. I loved her, but she is engaged to Steve. My wings never tiring, I followed the trail of feathers to a lone tower in the middle of the ocean. I land at the edge of the mainland, and watch the tower closely. Suddenly, I hear screaming. A girl's scream. Carter!!

Forgetting about the others I fly at tops speed to the tower and pull out my spell to teleport anything to the Nether. Creepers and zombies are everywhere, but they're no match for my weapons. Reaching a door, I bust it down and find Carter, one of Mianite's minions standing over her with a dagger.
"Carter!"

~Carter's POV~

"Carter!" Wag shouts. Mianite's follower starts to turn to battle him, but is quickly killed. Waglington kneels beside me, my tears staining my cheeks.

"M-my wings...." I whimper. Wag's eyes widen.

"Carter! Wait....Wag....when did you get here?" Jordan barges in.

"While you lost the trail of her feathers, I found it and kept going. I meant to wait for everyone but I heard her scream. I wasn't going to sit by while she could've been hurt." Wag explains, the irritation in his voice obvious. Jordan races to me and hugs me tightly, careful not to disturb the wounds on my back.

"We need the others to transport her home." Wag tells him.

"I can carry her myself." Jordan argues.

"Her wings were cut off! She can't move that much right now and shouldn't be jostled!"  Wag counters.

"Oh my Dianite BE QUIET." I shout. I struggle to stand up. Jordan lets me lean on his shoulder holding me up.

"I want wait for the others..." I whisper. Jordan sighs and concedes. After about half an hour of waiting, the others arrive.

"Oi, you didn't save any for us!" Tom whines.

"I was going to wait for everyone but I herd her scream. I wasn't going to sit by and let her get hurt...." Wag looks at the group.

"We need to get her home to rest. Mianite cut off her wings. And she had only had them for a day...." Jordan murmurs. Gasps of horror echo throughout the room. Sonja and Tucker help me into an RV, Wag sitting on one side of me, Sonja on the other. My vision is a little fuzzy due to the agony I felt in my back, but I could clearly see the death glare Jordan directs at Wag for a second.

Tucker flies the RV back to Waglington's tower and Wag helps me to my room. I look up at Wag.

"Thank you...." I whisper and kiss his cheek. He blushes and leaves me to rest. The deal I made with Mianite resurfaces in my memory.

How am I supposed to betray these people....
