She reached her hand and placed it on the ground outside it. Ice formed. "No?"

"Then why can't you freeze this?" "...is it 'cause you didn't make it on purpose?"

2016-05-21 23:53:43

●

"I don't...I don't think I made it at all anymore."

2016-05-21 23:54:09

🌀

"Then what made it...?"

2016-05-21 23:54:59

●

"I don't know but... Lets go. If I can't seal, that means he can follow us through this." She moved towards the exit of it.

2016-05-21 23:56:14

🌀

I grabbed her hand again and pulled her down. There was a thud some distance away. "...I think he already is."

2016-05-21 23:57:04

●

"Shit. We need to go." She moved towards the balcony of her bedroom. "This way."

2016-05-22 00:00:26

🌀

Ren opened the doors to the balcony and I shut the bedroom door, setting Seculus down on her bed to barricade it with a dresser.

●

She ran to the edge of it, and touched the edge of the castle, a slide started to form.

2016-05-22 00:03:49

🌀

Ren grabbed Ivory, put her on their lap, and once the slide was complete, went down it, making sure neither of them fell off. There was a sudden slam against the door and I stumbled backwards, grabbing Seculus quickly again and tossing him over my shoulder before I jumped for the slide.

●

As they reached the bottom, the slide immediately broke, and Ivory made a b line for the forest. "If we keep near the more heavily vegetated areas we should be okay."

2016-05-22 00:07:55

🌀

I caught myself at the bottom and moved Seculus back to my arms. "Should we cross the lake?"

2016-05-22 00:08:48

●

"If he caught up to us and melted the ice that I'd freeze we'd drown, it's too risky."

2016-05-22 00:10:24

🌀

"Alright, forest it is." I made sure my crossbow was accessible and delved into the trees with them.

2016-05-22 00:12:11

●

Eventually they made it to the gates without much incident. Ivory panted as she came to a stop. "We....we made it."

2016-05-22 00:16:44

🌀

I debated picking her up too. But I'd never be able to carry them both. "We just have to get inside. Stay here, we'll look for Kinsley." Ren and I went to the open door where Kinsley's table sat empty. He wasn't here. ...shit.

2016-05-22 00:18:46

●

Ivory sat down, trying to catch her breath.

2016-05-22 00:20:12

🌀

We looked at each other. "The gates won't stay open without someone in here to pull the chain, right?" "I'll pull it." "But then you can't-" "You have to carry Sec inside, and Ivory has to get to safety. I'll find a way in, maybe I can climb over." "What if he catches up?" "I can hide. He'd find you if you stayed here. Hurry up and go get her in before he gets here." ".....okay. Thank you." They hugged me and went over to the chain, planting one foot on the wall to drag it down. Outside, I heard the gates clanking open and went back to Ivory.

2016-05-22 00:23:29

●

She immediately looked up. "Where's Ren?"

2016-05-22 00:24:16

🌀

"...they have to stay out here to open the gates. Come on, the quicker we get in the more time they have to find another way to follow us." I took her hand and pulled her to her feet.

2016-05-22 00:25:45

●

She thought for a moment. As much as she wanted to argue, she couldn't. Ren was the one best at hiding, and if she stayed behind, and way she could get in he would be able to as well. "Okay." She held Madison's hand tightly and moved inside.

2016-05-22 00:27:06

🌀

"Tell them we're in. You can use your thought thing here, right?"

2016-05-22 00:28:55

●

"Yeah. I believe so. "

We're in. Go.

2016-05-22 00:29:38

🌀

The doors closed behind us with a slam. I let out a breath. "...okay. We're safe, we just have to get to the castle."

2016-05-22 00:30:16

●

"That should be easy, right?" She started to walk towards it.
