The Lurker Tries Again

Well if this wizard or whatever he is is still lurking around then maybe I should go talk to Alexa then, said Merlin. Is she really that smart? I know she is very smart and very good at making plans but Ivy said she is super smart so I guess she is, said Alieta. Okay so does she still live in the north town? asked Merlin. Yes she is still there, said Alieta. Okay I will talk to you later, said Merlin then he vanished. Alieta called down Jazmen that was above her with the rest of the sprites. That evil man is still lurking around Fae Land so I want you to put out all the sprites to patrol Fae Land from above and look for him. Okay, and if we spot him? asked Jazmen. Shoot to kill, said Alieta. You got it, said Jazmen, then she flew off. Alieta went in the place and checked the dining room to see if Ivy was still there. When she got there only Ginger was sitting at the table. Ginger are you okay? asked Alieta. No, what do you think. There is someone here trying to kill you and I can't do nothing about it, said Ginger. My sweet Ginger, I have the entire winged army out looking for him with orders to shoot him on sight. He is not getting anywhere near me, said Alieta. Well I am still worried, said Ginger. I wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to you, said Ginger. Well tell you what, Lets go to my den and I will get some armed elves to guard the hallway and I will tell you everything Gabriel found out about Ivy, said Alieta. Ya okay that sounds like a good idea, said Ginger. What I can't figure out is why anyone would want to hurt you. Why does evil do what evil does is a mystery to me also, said Alieta. We just got to keep doing what we have always done in the past. Now come and bring a tub of ice cream with you. Ivy calls it happy food. Ginger smiled then they headed to the den with two spoons and a full tub of chocolate ice cream. So where is Ivy and Viridian? asked Alieta. They went up to their room, said Ginger. Something about showing Ivy how to use a toothbrush.

Alieta sat in her chair and Ginger pulled over a couch and they both started eating the ice cream as Alieta told Ginger everything Gabriel told her about Ivy especially the part about her not ever lying. Soon they had their fill of ice cream and decided to sit back and relax for a bit. Alieta nodded off in her chair so Ginger decided to stay and keep an eye on her but shortly she fell asleep too. Five hours later Ivy suddenly burst into the room. Zatsuky, Zatsuky, he is going after her now, screamed Ivy. They both woke up immediately. Oh my god, said Alieta. We have to warn her. Alieta yelled "Pippa Pippa Help Please". Pippa appeared immediately. What's the matter? asked Pippa. No time to explain but get to Zatsuky's place now and tell her to grab her sword. A evil wizard is going to kill her. Pippa disappeared. Hope she gets there on time, said Alieta. What ever this is, it is not just after me.

Pippa flew as fast as she could and got to Zatsuky's bedroom in seconds and woke up Zatsuky with a big shake. Get up and grab your sword fast, a evil wizard is coming to kill you, said Pippa. What! She got up and headed towards her sword but the wizard appeared just as she was about to grab it. He pointed his finger at her but Pippa yelled and flew at him pushing him as hard as she could with closed fists but the wizard grabbed her and slammed her to the floor hard. That gave Zatsuky enough time to grab the sword and shoot it at him but all she managed to do was cut one of his arms open then he disappeared. She went to Pippa and she was bleeding badly. Pippa, talk to me. I don't feel so good, help me, said Pippa. Back at the palace Ivy started to cry, Oh no. Did he get Zatsuky? asked Alieta. No but Pippa is hurt real bad. I think she is dying, said Ivy. Lets go and fast, said Alieta. She yelled for Gabriel to meet them at Zatsuky's place fast.

They flew like never before and got to Zatsuky's in less than a minute. Gabriel was already there. Oh no not my Pippa, yelled Alieta. She saved my life, said Zutsuky. Gabriel looked at her deep and saw that Pippa was fading fast and closed her eyes. She looked up and yelled. Oh God almighty. Please don't take this kind soul from us. We all love her so much and she loves all of us. She just offered her life to save another's. Ivy then showed up still crying. Suddenly Pippa started to glow. "This little one known as Pippa to many is a very kind soul to all and it is not her time. Too much love surrounds her so I will not take her away from so much love". Pippa then stopped glowing. Gabriel wiped Pippa's forehead then Pippa began to cough. Ouch, it hurts when I cough. I can't move my arm or my leg. What happened? Pippa asked then closed her eyes again. Ivy went over to her and touched Pippa. She is in a lot of pain but she is alive. Pippa opened her eyes again. Oh hi Ivy is Zatsuky okay, asked Pippa. Yes I am thanks to you Pippa, said Zatsuky. Oh good, I was afraid I was too late. I need to sleep now, said Pippa. Can someone take me home? You Pippa are going to the palace with Gabriel, said Alieta. We need to fix you. Okay, the palace you say. Ivy and Viridian live in there. Then she fell asleep. Okay go Gabriel, take her to Ivy's room please. I will summon the doctor, said Alieta. Zatsuky and Carmen get dressed, you going to the palace also along with all the other team members. I have had it with this wizard, said Alieta angrily.

The sprites gathered up all the team members and brought them all to the palace. Alexa saw Pippa laying on the bed sleeping uneasily. Is she going to be okay, asked Alexa. God said she will live and he saved her soul. Now her body has to heal, said Gabriel. The doctor came in the room and said I am going to need some room please. Okay everyone out and into the den. Meeting time, said Alieta. I am staying with Pippa, said Ivy. The doctor looked at Alieta and she nodded her head. Yes you can stay with her and help me, said the doctor. They all went into the den and Alieta had several armed guards outside in the hallway. What about Angus and Sivia, asked Alexa. Oh they are outside guarding the entrance of the palace like gargoyles, said Alieta and a bunch of armed sprites are guarding them. Okay we are all here so what is going on and why is Pippa hurt, asked Alexa. Okay you all better sit down because this has been a day when too much has happened in too short of an amount of time, said Alieta.
