The Second Battle Of The Grounds

"Not the forbiden 'D' word?" Holly asked, eyes wide.

"I don't think so..." said Natalie, "We need to go back for her Holly..."

"BACK WHERE?!" Holly yelled.

"I DON'T KNOW!" Natalie yelled.

"THEN WHY SUGGEST THAT?!" Holly yelled.

"BECAUSE I NEED YOU TO HELP ME FIND HER!" yelled Natalie.

Merlas landed again, with a rather scared looking Raven on her back.

"WHAT DO YOU WA- OH! HI!" Holly yelled, never happier to see a horse.

Natalie stood up.
"Raven..." she said, "Where is Shadow?"

"I'm going to be sick..." Raven said, looking green as she staggered off Merlas' back.
"She never did like flying at breakneck speed." Merlas explained.

"THATS NOT AN ANSWER!" Holly yelled, starting to panic.

Merlas grabbed Raven by the back of her cloak and dumped her in front of Holly and Natalie.

Natalie gasped.
"Hello Raven..." she said slowly.

Holly looked down.
"Hi." she commented.

"Hello." Raven said.

"Ok...so...information please..." said Natalie after an awkward moment.

"So .... whats up?" Holly asked, "And uh, where's Shad?"

"I don't know. Merlas didn't exactly give me time to think." Raven said, picking herself off the ground.

"Oh......so you gonna think now?" Holly asked hopefully. Then she turned to Merlas.
"Thanks for not leaving me." she added.

"How am I supposed to know?" Raven snapped.

Merlas sneezed on Holly.

Holly was so surprised she fell backwards, and landed on her back.
"But you must have some kind of telepathy right?" she asked Raven hopefully.

"I would if I knew what was going on." Raven pointed out.

Merlas then used Holly as a tissue.

Natalie looked at Raven.
"The mind connection is well...black...for now...can't see anything," said Natalie vaguely.

"WHAT ON EARTH!?" Holly yelled, "WHY!? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?! WHY ME!?"

"So she's unconscious. You sure she isn't just asleep?" Raven asked.
