CHAPTER 15 – Panic Attack

Skyler awoke, and found herself the only one awake. She lied back down and thought. She felt someone rustle beside her and saw that Addy was awake too. Addy's black eyes flickered, and she put a finger to her lips to signify for Skyler to be quiet. She silently stood up, and shuffled over to where Emily was asleep. Quietly, Skyler watched Adriane grab Emily's sleeping bag, and drag it out of the room. Skyler followed, and giggled as Adriane dropped it outside. Adriane returned to get Kara's. Skyler helped her pick up the pink sleeping bag. A snore sounded. Adriane and Skyler both froze, and slowly turned around. Emily rolled over in her sleep, and mumbled something about Ozzie.

Adriane looked at Skyler, and Skye saw that she was about to lose it. They quickly dashed inside, and burst into laughter. A tear slid down Skye's cheek, and she swiped it away quickly as she giggled. "I can't wait to see Kara's expression when she wakes up!" Skyler chuckled, and stood up. She fluffed her newly dyed silvery-blond bangs. Adriane sighed and shook her head.

"We'll be waiting for a while. Kara and Emily don't usually wake up till 11:00... it's 7." Adriane responded. Skyler laughed slowly, and walked outside. Addy followed her curiously.

Skye followed a trail, then sat down on a log, and sighed deeply. She saw her breath from the cold, and shivered to herself. Addy sat down next to her, and offered her jacket, which Skye took without hesitation.

"Are you okay?" Adriane asked.

"Just a little worried. About this whole school thing, and Earth too. I grew up on Aldenmor, and that's where my home is. Do you think I'll fit in?"

"If I can, you can for sure!" Adriane grinned crookedly. "You could be a foreign exchange student living in Kara's guesthouse." There was a long pause, and Adriane asked, "You like music?"

"Music? Like folk songs that the elves sing?" Skyler asked. Adriane started to laugh, but started to choke back her laughter when she saw Skye's confused expression.

"Oh, you've never heard Earth's music! I can't believe it! I've got to show you some REAL music, ASAP! Come on, Skye," Adriane motioned for Skye to follow her. As they passed Kara and Emily, they heard a shriek. Kara abruptly stood, and jumped in circles. She shook her head violently, and whirled around.

"ADRIANE ZARA CHARDAY!" She screeched, and ran like Addy had never seen before. Adriane laughed and ran. The thrill of the chase made Kara run faster, and Adriane howled. Dreamer came up behind her, and she slipped onto his back. "I know you're here Addy! You can't hide forever!" Kara heard a sound of beating wings, and looked her her left. Lyra was beside her, grinning. With a wild leap, she was on top of Lyra, flying behind the wolf girl.

Emily and Skyler giggled, and both stopped running. They sat and watched as the two friends chased each other. Skyler turned to Emily. "Is this what friends are all about?"

Emily's deep blue eyes lifted to meet Skyler's ice-blue eyes. "Yup. This is what friends are all about."

"Come on, just admit that I won!" Adriane laughed, and she glided over to the refrigerator and grabbed four bottles of water. She threw one to Kara, who caught it with amazing speed.

"Yes, Oh Great One. You won, what do you want, a gold star?" Kara bowed.

"Yeah," Adriane grinned mischievously. She heard a crash and turned. Skyler grinned sheepishly, and picked up the water bottle Adriane had just thrown to her. Emily threw back her head, and laughed. Everyone joined in.

"We should all go back to my place, and pick out a movie.," Emily said. Everyone agreed, and they grabbed their jackets.

When they arrived at Emily's, Caroline was beaming at Emily. "You'll never guess what happened!" She said excitedly.

"What, Mom?" Emily asked.

"You know that book I was working on? "The Mystery of the Ravenswood Disease"? Well, my publisher wrote back today!" Caroline gushed.

"No way, Mrs. F! That's amazing!" Adriane encouraged her with a smile.

"Do you want to see the letter?" She asked them. She was answered with smiles and nods.

"That's great, Mom!" Emily laughed. "You'll be famous!"

Later that night, Adriane was returning home, and stopped when she saw a gold star hanging on her front door. Everything had turned out perfect... it was time to enjoy the rest of her summer!

--

"She has fallen for it, My Lady," The shadow replied to the woman. She had pale green eyes, and her silk forest dress mad her white blond hair almost look a shade of green.

"We will have the Healer soon enough then. Be prepared. Ready yourselves. This will end in war." She responded, and her finger traced the pattern of the rain drops. "Not everyone will survive this scourge."
