Landon's POV

I thought those kids would be a bit smarter considering one of them is part dragon and the other one is flipping smart for her young looking age. But I easily slipped away to find my boss so we can figure out how to get the healing potion back. "Landon." Her voice rings through my ears, and I turn towards her.

"Yes Ma'am?" I ask, watching as she sets an old dusty book back onto the table. Her lips curl into a smirk, and she looks me in the eyes. "Jeffory Destrey is getting closer and closer to that hospital that Katelyn Azura is in... Every minute that passes another one of our soldiers die. Do you want to be one of those wasted soldiers?" She asks, her voice slightly on edge as she digs her claws into the table.

I go pale, slowly shaking my head as she sucks in a deep breath. "I want you to stop Jeffory. No matter the cost." She says, and I stop slouching, nodding at her. "Good. If you come back with nothing- no information... You will be executed." At this exact moment I realize how much pain Jessie has been through.

Does she even know this is her brother we're talking about? Her dark green eyes gaze into my ocean blue ones, and I walk away. Empty minded and empty handed.

I'm so dead.

Jeffory's POV

I already know I'm being chased. I already know I'm probably the biggest threat to the world just with this small vial in my hands. One decision can save someones life, one decision can end another's. It's insane, thinking about my past, future, and present. I never would've predicted this. Katelyn in a coma, me watching as she gets attacked by wolves.

My love for her fading... But I don't care anymore. I don't care how much she hates me because my love for her will always stay planted. But I won't be the one setting flowers next to her grave, or the one attending her funeral. The thought of her dying makes my eyes burn, and I know tears might come. But they don't.

I continue walking down the dirt road, realizing that I have a cut down my arm that I never noticed before. One day until I may see her, one day until I can hold her my arms, one day until I forget about all of the worries in the world, and just focus on Katelyn.

Just one day.

Joslyn's POV

Jeffory's trail of footprints ended miles back, but Gold and I kept walking. Having no idea where we were going. "We haven't eaten in days, and we haven't slept either." Gold's voice is strained, but there's still a determined look on his face. I look around, and there's nothing but trees for miles. "Get some sleep. I'll stay close and find some food." I tell him, and he shakes his head.

"That's not what I meant. I'm part dragon, I can go without sleep for weeks... and I'm not hungry yet. Thank you for the offer though." He says, a small smile on his face. For once, I don't complain and lay my head on a tree log. Not really caring about all of the germs and creepy crawlies. And once I'm in a comfortable sleeping position, I drift off to sleep.

Aaron's POV

He took it. My pockets are empty and even though he may save Katelyn, there's still a mischievous grin on my face. The thing I'm worried about is Travis and Lucinda though. A Warlock and a Witch combining their powers, they could be unstoppable. I push the thought out of my head, trying to celebrate for a minute, until Aphmau is standing in front of me again.

"What do you want woman?!" I ask furiously, the thought of once loving her just a stupid memory. She's trying to manipulate me. She's trying to kill me. I'm done with all of her begging and sobbing. It's pathetic. "Let Katelyn go. She never did anything to you. The only reason you have the upper hand here is because of your father." She says through gritted teeth, as if she just spit out poison.

"My father? You think my father helped me with any of the power I have now?! No. He ruined everything. He destroyed the person I was trying to become. I didn't always want to use my knowledge as a weapon." My voice is now on edge, and Aphmau stands there, her mouth slightly agape. "But a hero is a person who tries their hardest." She tries to defend, but I've heard that response one too many times in my life.

"I tried my hardest. Don't you think I wanted to be the good guy this entire time?! Don't you think I stare at Jeffory in amazement as he tries his hardest and ends up doing good in the world?! I tried my hardest, but I was overthrown by my own father." That's the last thing I say before going back to my mortal self. Trying to forget my gruesome childhood.

Gold's POV

I sigh, staring at the handful of berries and apples I have in my hands, setting them down next to Joslyn. It should keep her going for a little while longer. Those donuts she nailed onto my door days, maybe even weeks ago are still in my stomach. I would've preferred maple ones instead of glazed ones to be honest though. But donuts are donuts.

My fingers skim across the sword in my hand, not really focusing on anything specific. Then some crazy thoughts come to mind. What will we do if Katelyn doesn't make it? What will we do if she does make it? I hope she does make it. Hatred can be healed. Losing a loved one on the other hand... Is much worse.

Those thoughts wander in my mind until I feel hands around my throat, familiar dark green eyes gazing into mine.

Hey guys! That was chapter twelve, and I hope you all enjoyed it!
