14 "What To Do"

I followed the things I believed in and you. When you left me halfway through, the things I believed in when I was covered in blood made me stand up. Not my love for you.

As Gwen and Natalie's screams scratched my ears, I immediately stood up and looked at Dylan with fear. Just as he was about to unlock the door, he got in front of me and blocked me.

"Stay behind me." I nodded positively when he said and waited for him to open the door. He unlocked the door, opened the door wide, and muttered a curse. As I stared in shock at the thing that broke the door, Gwen came up to us and grabbed my arm. It was an animal that broke the door. A zebra as well!

While the zebra was breathing deeply, it was moving towards us at the same time. With red eyes, the zebra seemed to have lost control. With a momentary insane courage, I took a step forward. Dylan glared at me as he grabbed my arm. When I responded with a slight smile, he exhaled in distress and released my arm.

With my hands down, I slowly moved towards the zebra. It was calming down as I approached the zebra. I enlarged my eyes with shock when I felt the body heat. Despite its downside heat, the living zebra must have been in great pain. The zebra trying to go back when I suddenly hugged its body, it felt my warmth and wrapped its head around me. No matter how cold I was, I did not retreat as the cold inside was running towards me. When its body temperature returned to normal and its eyes regained its old color, I left the zebra. While my body was shaking from the cold, I could not balance and fell to the ground. As my eyes were closing, the phoenix fire suddenly rose in me and spread all its heat inside me. As Sky hugged me with all his warmth, I heard:

"It's up to you, Elizabeth, to turn the cold into rain, water the plants and fill the lakes. Don't be afraid of the cold, the cold can give life to the world!"

When I opened my eyes, Dylan was standing in my head watching me. While looking at me with his worried eyes, my brain suddenly flashed something in front of my eyes, causing my mouth to open in shock. The image I saw seemed real. David, Chris, and a few people I didn't know were waiting not far from here. They were waiting for us. They had set a trap. What were we going to do now?

The visions disappeared, and I immediately jumped to my feet. I took my head in my hands and thought. What could we do?

"Elizabeth, what happened?"

"Dylan! They're here! David, Chris and the others! They've set us all up! They may not have taken into account you, but when they caught, they could hurt you! What are we going to do now?"

"Take it easy, Elizabeth. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Me and Natalie will go to them and tell them we cannot find you anywhere. Okay?"

"I don't trust that girl!"

"She can't betray me. So you don't have to worry."

I took a deep breath and smiled.

"I trust you..."

He showed me his perfect smile and pressed me to his chest. I unwittingly left him, as I heard the screeching voice I hated as I inhaled his scent.

"Come on, Dylan! Let's go now!"

Dylan looked angrily at Natalie and smiled pretentiously.

"Wait at the door, Natalie! I'm coming!"

"Hurry up!" Natalie said, swinging out the door and left us alone. Mr. Bullock and Gwen, who came in when she left, came to our side. After saying goodbye to them, Dylan looked at me for the last time and left. The sound of the engine filled my ears and I wished I could close my eyes and see Dylan again as soon as possible.

Gwen, me and Mr. Bullock were thinking, sitting on the sofa. What should we do next? While we were thinking about these, I jumped up with the idea that came to my mind. As Gwen and Mr. Bullock looked at me in surprise, I smiled excitedly and began to explain.

"I have to contact Sky. I think that's the most logical, right?"

Mr. Bullock looked at me and closed his eyes.

"It makes sense, but we don't know if Sky will answer you. He might want you to find the answer."

"You're right, but I don't think there's any harm in trying."

"Well... Let's get out then, maybe it's better if you try it alone."

Mr. Bullock and Gwen wished me good luck on the way out. I closed my eyes and thought of that perfect phoenix. I dreamed of blue eyes and red feathers. I waited... I waited. I waited for a long time with my eyes closed. And finally I heard his melodious voice.

"So... I am important enough to be expected for such a long time... It made me happy."

"You've always been important, Sky... Don't feel worthless because some have betrayed you!"

"Only you care about me is more than enough for me, Elizabeth! Your heart and soul are not in anybody in this universe!"

"Sky, I have to ask something. I don't know what to do. Help me please!"

"I always help you. Only you are not aware of it."

"As you told me, I came to Africa and found Mr. Bullock. I got all the useful information from him, but now I don't know what to do. Can you guide me?"

"You have to save the animals and everything they cursed, Elizabeth! For this you have to learn to cast magic. Even if you can heal a little with fire, it is not permanent. What I want from you will be a difficult thing but I believe you can do it.

Join the sorcerers to learn how to cast spells! Disguise and move on with the knowledge you learned there! You will need me from time to time and I will always be there for you. When the time comes, you will come to a capacity to find the right thing without needing me. That's when you will make the universe beautiful with hot and cold. Believe in yourself and your loved ones..."

As his last words echoed in my ear, I opened my eyes and looked around. As Mr. Bullock's red fairy statue brought some ideas to my mind, I frowned and closed my eyes and leaned back. Perhaps when the time came, I would have to destroy all five statues to stop this from happening. After all, it was said that when someone had five statues, that person could use Tania's power and continued the curse. I exhaled in anguish and started planning. Probably I had to go there alone... What should I do?
