The next day, the sun shone brightly through the windows, and Will was heard humming downstairs as he cooked pancakes, bustling in the kitchen with a yellow apron over himself. 871Please respect copyright.PENANALfJdgqTZdy
871Please respect copyright.PENANAsbXsh0ZtP0
His bubble-gum pink hair was already brushed nicely, and he was dressed in a mint crop-top and faded jeans, ready to start the day with his charming and flirty smile. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAunuGSt6mRP
871Please respect copyright.PENANAguOZyX6tfW
He tied the apron securely, then got to cooking.
He cracked eggs into the batter, dumped the egg shells into the trash , and then began mixing. He then turned on the pan, and made a small circle with the batter. As it cooked, he got some oranges, slicing them in halves, then turned to the pancake and flipped it over. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAunF9BBcQh7
871Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZKbpEjCcN
He got a jug and made homemade orange juice, then finished making pancakes, stacking them on a plate. He cut up some fresh fruit, like strawberries and put them into separate bowls, each which the favorite fruit for each person. Talyn got peaches, Clint cantaloupe, Iris strawberries and Diana and Melanie banannas.
He was setting the table, when Melanie walked in, smiling. "Im home!" she said, grinning.
"Hey!" Will said, walking over and hugging her. "How was it?"
"It was really nice," Melanie answered, setting her bags down by the coat rack. "Oh, it smells delicious- is anyone awake?"
"Not yet," he said. "I know Talyn was up late. Researching, probably."
Melanie sighed. "Oh that girl." She shook her head. "How was the mission?"
Will hesitated. "We didn't get her. But we will. We know what she's capable of, how she fights. She's very fast."
"Well, at least we got something, huh?" Melanie rubbed his arm. "I'll go wake the rest up, okay?"
Will nodded and turned back to cooking, as she walked up the steps, her bags in her hands.
----
Melanie walked into her room, to where Diana was asleep on the couch, sprawled out, her dark magenta hair over her face, still dressed in jeans and one of Melanie's shirts, a white shirt with 'CHILLAX' on it in bold letters. Her lipstick was smeared, she looked so young. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAeMhX2MXCPK
871Please respect copyright.PENANASrEkJJNGIA
She smiled, then bent down and kissed Diana lightly. "Wake up, sleeping beauty," she said gently, brushing the hair off her face.
Diana stirred, mumbling, and her eyes fluttered open. She saw Melanie and brightened immediately. "Hey!" she said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
Melanie smiled. "Breakfast is ready, I'll wake the kids up."
Her lips brushed against Dianas again for a moment, before she turned and walked out, knocking on everyone's doors to get them up. --------
Soon, everyone was eating at the table, laughing, complimenting Will's cooking, and talking.
"So, I made some calls around," Talyn said brightly, despite the dark shadows under her eyes. She resembled a raccoon. "And I called about the lady. Apparently her family, whom I found out, are Prinsens, a family that goes back,feeding on souls to survive. They have a party every year, to celebrate their royalty. Apparently, their-" she yawned-"-great times 50 grandfather was a king. Before he died by having his heart ripped out by a badass werewolf."
Melanie nodded. "Im impressed with your research. Buuuut, after brekfast, you're taking a nap. You need energy." She raised an eyebrow as she chewed.
"For what?" Will looked confused, head tilting. "What do we need energy for?"
"You're all going to that party." Diana grinned. "Melanie will find more about the party and how we can get you guys to sneak in."
----
At around 5, everyone was prepping for the party, dressing nice, with masquerade masks on their faces. Iris had her pastel purple hair tucked into a messy bun, with spirals of hair framing her face, She wore a navy blue, short dress, with a knifepleated bottom, and silver heels. Her makeup was only a little bit, and natural looking. Her mask complimented her heels, a silver mask, with jewels and gems.
Talyn wore a long, black, flowy, off the shoulder dress. It was two parts, actually. Her makeup was dark, lipstick black, heels on, knife hidden in a sheath that looked like a sash. Her mask, was a white one.
Will and Clint were dressed in suits, Will having a pink masquerade mask with feathers, Clint wore a mask with black jewels on the sides.
Diana stood in front of them. "Okay. You need to find more about them, mainly their weaknesses. Tonight, your job is to kill their family. Theres four of the Prinsens. Their mom, dad, brother and the lady you met, the sister. It seems their heart being cut out is a weakness. Melanie?"
Melanie cleared her throat and adjusted her glasses. "I did more research. These things are called Soul Suckers. They've been around for a while now. Hidden. But I guess this generation got greedy real fast. Rumor is, they're holding the party to trap visitors and suck their souls out. I also found out that each memeber is born with one of the four abilities- invisibility, telekinesis, strength or shape-shifting. They get their abilities at 18. Be careful, guys, okay? I'll be online the entire time. "
They gave one another hugs, and then the group got to their two motorcycles, sport-bike ones, of course. Will got seated behind clint, plopping a dark helmet over his head, then fastening one over his head. Talyn and Iris did the same.
Talyn looked back at Iris. "You ready?"
Iris looked at her, a deep look in her violet eyes. She nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be."
Talyn's corner of her mouth went up, she turned back around, and then sped off, Clint following in her wake.
They drove past the streetlights, weaving between cars as they went, cars honking at them and people yelling angrily. That just fueled these teenagers, wild, and full of energy.
The night was cold, the sky clear, the stars shining as they whizzed past, with Iris's hair flying back as she and Talyn leaned to the turns, her arms wrapped tight around her waist. Talyn was tensed up, she could feel it. Probably nervous about this mission. She squeezed her arms to reassure her, but wasn't sure if Talyn even felt it.
------------
Soon, they parked a while away from the mansion, and got off the bikes, setting the helmets down. They slid on their masks, adjusted and fixed their hair, and repositioned their weapons. Iris had her sword around her waist like a belt, and Will had his curved swords inside his coat, while Clint, who wore a slightly longer coat, wore it on his back,the coat keeping it hidden. Talyn's bow was shrunk, looking like a weird decoration.
They stopped without saying a word outside the mansion. 871Please respect copyright.PENANArlbLwkHk0c
871Please respect copyright.PENANAvihfXHxrdk
The large home was white and surrounded by a large fence with spikes on the top of it. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAx5sSSd8D29
871Please respect copyright.PENANAtTjmrT5hw9
The lawn was green and freshly cut, with a nice garden near the entrance made up of dark red roses. The walkway was a cobblestone path, two guards just at the door, dressed in armour, the family crest emblazoned on the front of their chest. A single rose, with a swirl around the stem.
They showed them their fake invites, then strolled on into the mansion, right into a wide open room. People in masquerade masks were everywhere, beings with feathered and skin wings, horns, pointed ears, antlers and more, dressed elegantly. The house was decorated in red and silver streamers, the walls white, and a giant staircase in the middle, and there, just at the platform where they split into different directions, was a family picture of the Prinsens.
The girl Talyn had fought was in the middle, grinning widely, her eyes yellow, just not glowing. Her skin was dark, eyebrows and jaw sharp,lips full, and her black curly hair was in a very loose braid, her bangs curling out and away from her face as she sat on a stool, with a tiny little smirk playing on her face.
To her left was a boy, a little older, staring at the camera, eyes looking dead. He had a sharp nose and face as well, thin eyebrows,a pale-yellow eye colour, and dark hair left long on top. He had his hands behind his back, and he was closed in, wearing a tight white shirt and black pants. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAgW15yQ4wJt
871Please respect copyright.PENANAWofA4Au9yv
Behind him was his father, a sour looking man, with black hair slicked back, showing his chilsed jaw and matching yellow eyes, with one hand on his son's shoulder.871Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uqo9Q8Hfq
871Please respect copyright.PENANA1YUlizKRBT
Next to him, was his wife, with silvery-white hair pulled into a braid, pale, small eyes, dark skin, angular brows, a pointy nose and one hand on her daughters shoulder. Her lips were a hard, straight line.
Iris, Talyn and Will stared at the portrait for a long time, before Iris got it together. "Lets split up," She said quietly, snapping them out from their daze.
"Teams of two. Talyn and I will make our ways upstairs, and you two stay down here, and try to get as much info. Meet up in one hour."
She and Talyn turned, making their way through the crowd, sneaking to the stairs.
------------
Will and Clint stayed downstairs, looking around. Clint looked very uncomfortable, frowning, his muscles all tense. Will looked at him and nudged him, smiling. "Hey..relax."
Clint shifted his gaze to Will, giving him a cold, hard, stare. Will's smile widened.
"C'mon..lets get something to eat and listen to people's conversations," Will said, taking Clint's arm and leading him to a table pushed to the side. It was overflowing with treats, cupcakes with shimmery frosting, brownies, cookies of all sorts, fruits, marshmallows, a chocolate fountain and more sweets.
Clint's eyes widened. He shyly grabbed a plate and started piling treats on it. Will laughed a little, getting his own plate, taking a cupcake and a cookie.
By the time they had reached the end of the table, Clint's plate was full of food.
"There's no way you're gonna finish that," Will said, flicking his eyebrows up, forehead crinkling.
Clint swallowed his food, looking at Clint with total seriousness. "You underestimate just how much food I can stuff in my mouth before I need to be stopped."
"I can't believe you have a sweetooth," Will laughed, shaking his head. "I mean, you give off the impression you wanna burn everything you look at." He then mimicked Clint, making a pouty face, narrowed eyes and glaring. 871Please respect copyright.PENANA6sFVi5XQ3Y
871Please respect copyright.PENANAXHlhClZ8aO
He then laughed, when Clint gave a tiny smile, devouring the cupcake he had taken.
Will looked around then, and spotted a group of people talking lowly. His eyes narrowed at the sight, they were bent forward, glancing at the family portrait sat at the stairs.
He nudged Clint. "Lets go dance," he said, gesturing to the people.
Clint groaned. "Uh, no."
Will grabbed his arms and began pulling him. "C'mon, it'll be fun! Plus we gotta get close to those people without it looking suspicious."
--------
The two girls climbed up the stairs, cautiously, and slowly, getting to one of the hallways, doors lined on each side. Portraits of their ancestors were hung between every door, the lighting was dim, but golden.871Please respect copyright.PENANA4RfZhI7vn9
871Please respect copyright.PENANAenEmCRK89k
A tall, heavily built man suddenly grabbed Iris's shoulder. Both girls whipped around.
The man's eyes narrowed. "What're you doing?" he growled.
Iris spoke first. "We-We are..looking for a bathroom. Yeah..A bathroom."
The man's eyes narrowed. "There's one downstairs."
"Yes, but there is a long line for it-" Talyn took over now. "-I have major diarrhea. Like- bad. So bad that if I wait, my shit is gonna explode and-"
"Okay, okay! Enough," The man said, shaking his head. "Ill get out of your way.." He gave a weirded out look, then went back downstairs.
Once he was gone, Iris snickered. "Really? Diarrhea?"
"No one wants to know more about diarrhea! I panicked!"
Iris shook her head and they continued down the hall.
"Its really quiet," Talyn muttered, looking around uneasily.
"Shh," Iris hushed, moving along quietly. She opened one of the doors, her other hand balled in a fist as
Talyn waited behind her, silent. The door opened with a creak, revealing an old looking room, with books stacked neatly on bookshelves, dust was clearly gathering on them, and an old wooden desk the window, where the curtains closed tightly.
After no harm was seen, the two walked in, looking around the room.
Talyn picked out a book and flipped through the pages, eyes narrowed. The two stayed in silence, flipping through books, skimming the pages.
After almost forty minutes of searching, nothing could be found. No weaknesses, no strength, just useless stuff about math.
"This is pointless," Talyn said. "I give up."
"There has to be something," Iris huffed, hands on hips.
Talyn rolled her eyes, before Iris jolted upright, eyes wide. Talyn tilted her head.
"Someone's here, " Iris mumbled, gripping Talyn's arm, and shoving her under the desk. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHeQ0dt83sn
871Please respect copyright.PENANAm0WuihQePY
Iris panicked, looking for a hiding place, the footsteps getting closer every time she exhaled.
"Fuck it," She hissed to herself, hiding behind a bookshelf, just as the brother of the Prinsens strolled in. He looked anxious, wiping his hands on his pants, before taking a seat at the desk, not noticing Talyn.
She scooted away from his shoes, eyes wide, in the most uncomfortable position ever. She watched his feet, his tapping foot, as she heard the pen begin to scratch against the paper.
This was gonna be long.
----------
Will and Clint walked out onto the dance floor, with Clint muttering angrily under his breath.
"Hush," Will said, rolling his eyes. He placed his hands on Clint's waist, and noticed he turned a violent shade of red, but didn't say anything about it.
Clint placed one hand on Will's shoulder, and the other was holding Will's hand. Clint's eyes narrowed, and the music was a fast pace, so they moved quickly, and Clint was practically standing on Will's feet.
The two moved throughout the crowd, dancing their way closer to the group.
Will and Clint moved along to the music, and soon the two flowed with ease, dancing near the group, who still talked lowly.
As Will spun Clint around and around, Clint caught slivers of the conversation,
"Too young."871Please respect copyright.PENANA3vi7eniwKF

"Daughter."871Please respect copyright.PENANA0ViwI9jI8f

871Please respect copyright.PENANApl8q9gI7fD
"Perfect family."
Clint's eyes narrowed, as Will suddenly dipped him, and Clint put his full trust into Will, his vision now upside down, his hair no longer covering his forehead, but hanging down.
Will's face was close to his, his flop of bubblegum pink hair hanging down, chocolate brown eyes shining under the mask. They met Clint's icy ones.
Will smirked. Clints eyes narrowed.
Will spun Clint up again, and the two danced again, noticing that people moved away from them, cheering, watching the two dance incredibly well.
They moved along the floor quickly, to the fast pacing music, spinning, dipping.
And then Will grinned at Clint, who was in a dipped position and Clint smiled faintly back.
Then Will grabbed Clint by the waist before he could fall, and tossed him up into the air with all his strength. Clint's eyes widened as he turned over in the air, and then Will caught him. The crowd cheered again, begging for more.
As they danced again, Will was laughing.
"What the hell?!" Clint whisper-yelled at him, eyes wide.
Will shrugged. "I'm gonna run, and you're gonna catch me and lift me in the air. Then we're done, got it?"
Clint hesitated, then nodded as they pushed apart dramatically, and Will danced off, leaping, before turning back to Clint, and running at him before jumping into the air.
Clint caught him, hands under his stomach, and lifted him up, into the sky, Will spread out. The crowd went wild.
Everyone clapped as Will and Clint bowed, and as the clapping died down, a voice spoke. "What an excellent show.'
Will and Clit turned, to see a woman standing there, dressed in a royal blue dress, with poofy sleeves, the end of the dress flowing and resting on the ground in s circle.871Please respect copyright.PENANASsYeq0Se23
871Please respect copyright.PENANA8K2rBJDYNP
On her top, in the middle, white tore in the middle, and down to the bottom of the dress, lined with a gold trimming, and so it looked like the blue part was just something she put on top. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAttugDfI3no
871Please respect copyright.PENANAfIb989qUhS
Gold designs were set on her sleeves, at the top, circling around the collar, and the sleeves we're skin tight, at least until they got to her wrists, the fabric splayed out, still trimmed with gold. Her silver white hair was in a tight bun, and her mask was gold, sparkly, lined with blue.
This was the mom, Mrs. Prinsen.
The room fell silent as everyone turned their heads towards her, everyone bowed their heads respectfully, and Clint had to step on Will's foot so he would do the same. He just stared.
"Can I get your names?" Mrs.Prinsen said, smiling, as she glided smoothly down the stairs, to where they stood, muscles tense.
Clint made a glance at Will, but Will didn't look over, he then said, "I am Oliver and this is Baron, my fiance, ma'am."
"Please, call me Idalia," she said. "I don't see any rings," she added, looking confused.
Will smiled a little. "We haven't been able to find the perfect ones just yet."
"Of course," Idalia said. "That seriously was a magnificent show..Have you two ever danced before?"
"Once. My stepdad shut it down after a while." Will shrugged. "But I like to practice every now and then, with Baron." He lied so easily, the lies slipping through his teeth.
Clint nodded his head slightly, hands behind his back, looking stiff as a rock.
Idalia laughed. "You two are a cute couple. Your soul...is so.. energetic. Full of energy. And Baron's is nice as well. Dark, bitter, but still great."
Will and Clint shared a look. Clint cleared his throat and spoke. "Wheres the rest of your family?"
"Pierce is off doing math to study for college. Can't get anything right," she huffed. "My husband is probably talking to other people and Victoria is off somewhere," she sighed. "I better get going. Nice dance." She turned away, smiled and walked off, heels clicking on the floor.
Clint turned to Wil. "Seriously? Married?" His eyes narrowed.
Will smiled, and shrugged. "Maybe it'll be us in the future," he said under his breath, but Clint didn't quite catch it.
--
Talyn was still pressed up against the wall, eyes wide, praying that this kid wouldn't swing his feet.871Please respect copyright.PENANAsO527UNEON
871Please respect copyright.PENANARMth3jb0Vp
Iris was watching her, and Pierce, who continued writing.871Please respect copyright.PENANAwbrvUqM12r
871Please respect copyright.PENANALprYpzQ5Rk
He had gotten frustrated at one point, lay his head down and cried, before he sat back up, and wiped his face.
"Pierce!" A woman stormed in, and both Talyn and Iris recognized her from the portrait, the mother. Idalia huffed. "Its time. Come on."
Pierce silently stood, and walked over, silent, wiping his hands on his pants again.
Idalia turned and walked out, Pierce trailing behind her, and he sighed heavily, shutting the door behind him gently.
Talyn and Iris remained silent for a minute, as their footsteps faded.
Once they couldn't hear the steps anymore, Talyn slid the chair out from the desk and crawled out, letting out a huge sigh of relief. "HolY SHIT-" she wheezed, eyes wide.
Iris squeezed out from the bookshelf, eyes wide as well. "That was..wow."
"That was horrible!" Talyn wheezed, looking around. "What do you think they're doing?'
"Nothing good," Iris responded, frowning and chewing her lip. "We-We need a plan. "
"I have a plan," Talyn said, smiling after a few minutes.
Iris narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her hips. "Is it a GOOD plan?"
"I have a plan."
---
Will and Clint we're standing, looking around, just as the room fell silent and everyone turned to the stairs.
Will looked over, eyes narrowed, head tilted. The family was standing there, looking joyful.
He turned on his earpiece in his ear. "Melanie."
"Yes, hon?" Melanie answered instantly.
"The Prinsens are gonna announce something..Is this where they eat the souls?"
"Yes. They'll have a feast. But since so many people are there they'll simply extract some souls and keep it to eat later. You guys need to be careful, okay? They're gonna do something..to get everyone dazed..there's a way to prevent it. Cover your ears. Iris, Talyn, you there?"
"I'm here, and so is Talyn," Iris said. "We have a plan. We got it under control."
"Thats comforting," Clint said sarcastically.
"Shut up. We gotta go. Y'know, planning stuff." 871Please respect copyright.PENANASejZCkiDjV
871Please respect copyright.PENANAAAfWydpZrO
Will heard a beep, meaning that Iris clicked hers off.
"Be careful, okay Will? Don't die. Goes for you too, Clint." Melanie sighed. She sounded worried.
"We will, theres nothing to worry about." Will clicked his off and Clint grunted and clicked his off as well, and then the boys were staring back to the Prinsens.
The father was speaking, in a loud, clear voice. "Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you all for coming. You're probably wondering why I have gathered you here." His yellow eyes traveled over the anxious looking guests, and he smiled, pausing for suspense. "I have a treat."
The guests stirred, and a mumble passed throughout as everyone looked at one another, smiling. Pierce gazed at his shoes, frowning deeply.
The father laughed. "Oh, no, not for you. For us. " He turned to his wife, who smirked. "Hon?"
Idalia grinned now, raising her hand and flicked her wrist. The doors, and windows slammed shut with a crash. Both Clint and Will flinched, inching towards eachother. The guests looked confused, and nervous, all smiles gone and replaced with looks of worry.
"Who's souls shall we save, dear?" Idalia's husband asked, smiling still. Clint stood closer to will, grabbing the cuff of his sleeve.
"Theirs-" Idalia pointed.
People looked confused. A stout, chubby man in front of Will and Clint pointed at himself as his face drained color. "M-Me?" he stammered.
Idalia rolled her eyes. "No!" she hissed. "Behind you!"
The man turned, and stepped out of the way. "Oh.."
Will tensed up, and looked at Idalia. "Oh...."
Clint finished for him. "..Shit."
Idalia gestured to Victoria, then to the hall. "Go get it, sweetheart, please. Its time."
The guests had started to panic, going for the doors, but the Prinsens paid no attention to it. They've done this before.
Victoria ran off, then came back, carrying a large bell of gold, with marks of crimson on it. "You mean- its CHIME?!" Victoria burst into a fit of giggles at her own joke. Clint facepalmed.
"Now is not the time, Victoria!" The father spat. "Pierce, would you care to do the honors?" He took the bell from his giggling daughter, looking at Pierce.
"Id rather not, Marcus," Pierce huffed.
"You address me as Father, Pierce. You know what? Victoria can do it."
Victoria snatched it back. She walked to the front. The guests got more frantic, one woman even threw a chair at the window. The chair bounced off and hit someone else, successfully knocking them unconscious.
"Ears," Clint whispered.
The bell was rung. It chimed, and you could see red waves radiate off the bell, over the crowd. Will and Clint had clamped their hands over their ears and moved to a curtain.
The guests instantly stopped everything and went still. the ones who were trying to escape turned towards the front, eyes glossy, like a fog had clouded them.
The bell eventually stopped ringing, and then there was just an entire crowd of people, frozen in one spot, dazed.
----
Talyn removed her hands from her ears once the chimes of the bell stopped.
She was sat on top of the chandelier, which hung over the top of the stairs. She had put some little pellets on the chandelier, and then she turned to iris and fingergunned to where she was hidden on a high window ceil.
Iris nodded, and her hands surged with purple light, as she quickly formed a sphere, crackling with purple, and aimed towards the rope thing the chandelier hung from.
The Prinsens looked up, just as Iris let it fly and hit the rope, and the chandelier fell. Talyn leapt off just before iris struck it, to one of the large velvet curtains on the pillars and grabbed hold of the material with one hand, the other keeping the front if her dress down, sliding down smoothly.
The Prinsens leapt out of the way of the chandelier as it hit, and it exploded into a shower of glass, and the little pellets exploded out smoke, making it hard to see. However, the guests remained where they were, rooted to the spot.
"What the- KILL THEM!" Idalia shrieked, running up the steps, one hand shooting up. A staff, with sphere of blue and silver rested on top of flew into her hand. 871Please respect copyright.PENANASBLtRjAOfR
871Please respect copyright.PENANAysWCrPe3Pz
Marcus seized a large sword, and of course, Victoria slid on her arm blade armour. Pierce, as it seemed, had vanished. But the other three hadn't noticed, as they were fuming and ready to kill the kids.
"Nice plan," Will said sarcastically, drawing his blades from his jacket as Talyn jumped down with her bow.
"Shut up and fight." Talyn vanished into the smoke.
"Yeah guys, c'mon, " Iris huffed, running past and into the smoke after Talyn.
Clint drew his sword. "This is gonna be..interesting."
He spotted Victoria on the middle of the stairs and the two ran for one another, and their blades clashed loudly. Then, they broke apart and slashed at one another. Clint dodged a stab to his chest, and tried to stab her heart, but Victoria stepped to the side, and kneed his stomach when he staggered forward.
He grunted, coughed, then whipped his sword out at her, cutting her face.
She gasped, eyes widening and she slashed at his hand. Clint winced, dropping his sword as she threw himself at him.
"WILL! CATCH!" He shouted, catching Victoria by the waist after spotting Will. He threw her towards him and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAE30AOnCjIR
871Please respect copyright.PENANA6OcH5kDSfi
Will stuck his swords out, and she flew directly into them, her heart being directly stabbed. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAbl1SJ69eaJ
871Please respect copyright.PENANACDT4KC5bsM
She didnt have time to scream, she just hung on Will's swords limply, eyes open in utter surprise, blood dripping from her open mouth.
Will ripped his swords out, eyes wide, covered in blood. "That was..That was brutal.."
"Thats what she gets for attacking Talyn," Clint huffed, turning away. "Ill help Iris, you help Talyn. I dont think Pierce is gonna show up." He ran up the steps, to where Iris was heard cursing, and Will dashed to the other side.
Talyn was laying below Marcus, who stood above her, sword in hand, trying to push it down with her bow to her throat. Talyn was barely keeping the blade away with her bow, arms shaking, sweat running down her forehead. "Aww, shorties gonna die," he was saying, laughing.
Will ran over, and slammed into Marcus, who staggered and let up on his sword, giving Talyn the opportunity to push it away, and slam her bow directly into his scrotum.
Marcus cringed, eyes wide, and even Will winced. Talyn got up, and seized her dagger, stabbing it through his heart. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Bif1ycXI
871Please respect copyright.PENANAmOOjNjZZV5
"Dont you ever call me short again." She whispered, facing up at him, eyes blazing. He fell as she tore her dagger out, twirled it and put it into her sheath.
"...Guess you didn't need much help. I knew it was over when he called you short."
Talyn managed a tiny smile. "C'mon, lets help Iris. That lady is nuts."
---
And indeed, she was 'nuts', as Talyn put it.
Clint and Talyn could barely get close to her.
Jets of bright colored, powerful light brusting from her staff. Clint and Iris dodged and ran, the lights leaving scorched marks on whatever it hit. Iris's dress was torn and dirty, and everyone's mask had fallen off by now.
Talyn suddenly took off, running to the curtains, and Will ran up behind Idalia, going to stab her heart-
She turned swiftly, the staff aimed at him as a jet flew out and Will barely had time to raise his swords to deflect trhe attack. The force of the jet sent him flying back, and the heat has caused the front part of his clothes to burn and tear in the front.
He lay the the very top of the steps, unconscious, swords limply rested on his chest in an x.
"WILL!" Iris and Clint screamed at the same time, eyes wide.
Clint turned back to Idalia, looking furious. "You're gonna pay for that!"
"Worried about your 'fiance?'" Idalia laughed heartily, sending a blast to them.
The spell whizzed past Iris's nose, and she struck her whip the second it passed, hitting her stomach. Idalia gasped a little, growling.
Clint slashed at her, and her staff seemed to be charging up again and was not useful, because she simply slammed it into his gut.
"ENOUGH WITH HITTING MY STOMACH!" he coughed again, stabbing her arm.871Please respect copyright.PENANAG96QVKXwGP
871Please respect copyright.PENANASIozE2Tn80
She kicked him away, and then dodged a sphere of purple energy Iris had shot at her, striking her face with the orb on her staff. Iris fell to the floor.
And then an arrow was flying at her, aiming for her, her chest, her heart-
And idalia blocked it, she looked up at Talyn, who had climbed on a pillar, and smirked.
"Nice try,dear." The staff had reached full charge and she aimed a blast the pillar. It hit and the pillar crumbled, and Talyn launched herself off, falling- falling and sure to meet certain death. She braced herself to hit the floor-
And she was caught in someones arms. Someone she couldn't see.
"What the?" The someone set her down gently. and she stood there, eyes wide. She heard someone whisper instructions to her, but couldn't see them. But she obeyed and ran off, quickly piecing together who it must've been.
"Talyn-! Where are you going?!" Iris cried, eyes wide, but now-
Idalia was now using her telekinsesis. She threw Clint into Iris and the two fell, and they were unable to get up.
"I must admit," Idalia was saying as she walked towards them gracefully,"you did fight a good fight."
She aimed the staff at them, and smiled. The orb glowed a bright gold. She shot a giant, gold, sharp spike shot out and it hit someone else.
As it hit the invisible someone, you could see them become visible again. Blood squirted from his heart, he had taken the hit for iris and Clint.
It was Pierce. Idalia's eyes went wide. "Pierce?! oh my-You got in the way!"
"Oh my goodness-!" Iris stared, and watched as Pierce sunk to his knees in front of them. Clint's mouth was hanging open in shock.
Idalia was stunned. So stunned that she didn't notice the arrow flying at her from behind, so stunned that she only noticed when it had pierced((A/N;see what i did there?)) her heart.
Idalia and Pierce slumped to the floor, blood pooling out. Finally, Iris and Clint stood up. The staff's light died out, and the guests stirred, out of their dazed stupor.
Talyn ran out. "Well.."
"Why'd he do that?" Iris asked, frowning.
"He said that the daze wouldn't be broken unless all the members were killed. We was the one who caught me, which you guys didn't see."
Clint had ran over to Will, who still lay there. Iris and Talyn jogged over, kneeling by him.
"Hey, Hey-" Clint poked Will. He tensed and then Will's eyes flickered open.
"Oh, God," Will mumbled. "That sure was a surprise.."
"Are you okay?" iris asked him.
"Yeah, yeah- Totally. " Will grimanced, and looked at his chest. It was an angry red.
Clint glanced and winced. "Thats gonna be one hell of a bruise," he said with a slight smile. "But hey, we're both gonna have bruises. I got hit there twice!"
Will laughed a little, smiling as Talyn grinned at him, poking the little pudge of belly fat he had.
A few guests were confused and Talking loudly, muttering. An old lady shuffled over and looked at the four. "Wh-Who are you?" she croaked.
"We protect the Island. " Iris straightened up. "Thats all you need to know."
Everyone was looking at them now. The woman smiled warmly. "Thank you..For saving us." Thank yous' rang out along the room.
"Its our job," Clint said, nodding.
-----
"And then my arrow went whoosh! and Idalia fell!" Talyn finished the story with her falling on the couch, acting dead.
"Sounds exciting," Melanie said, setting down her mug of hot tea. "Im very proud of you all. "
Diana was putting some sort of cream on Will and Clint's bruises. "You guys did excellent. But now- its time to rest." She said, closing the cream and taking the book from iris's hand. "Go on, off to bed!"
Iris rolled her eyes. "Goodnight, everyone," she said, walking upstairs. Will and Clinr raced up the steps, and Clint only won because Will fell up the stairs.871Please respect copyright.PENANAKtC1ZWmrJT

Diana collapsed behind Melanie. "Those kids..They keep me on my toes," she sighed. "I worry so much."
"D'you still have that feeling?" Melanie asked Diana, frowning.
