The Second Battle Of The Grounds

Raven managed to haul herself up on Merlas again, and followed.

"You're as bad as a child Holly like...Tomorrow doesn't ever do this hardly anymore..." muttered Natalie.

Raven stayed silent on this subject, glaring straight ahead.

"You're gonna be sick again Raven..." Natalie pointed out.

"No, I'm not." Raven said, scowling.

Natalie smiled slightly, and walked on, Holly barely even weighing her down.

"Would you like a piggy back?" Holly asked Raven, incredibly comfortable.

"No, I've got Merlas." Raven said.

Natalie sighed slightly as she continued to carry Holly.

"I'm sure you have." Holly muttered.

Merlas poked her nose in Holly's face, offended.

Holly was so surprised she fell off Natalie and landed in a puddle of water.
"This is just not my day." she commented.

Merlas sniggered to herself quietly.

Natalie put a hand out to pick Holly up.

"Thank you Nerdalie." Holly said standing up, "Now Merlas, that was very childish of you, dont you think?"

Merlas shook her head.

Natalie smiled slightly.
"You did have it coming to you..." said Natalie quietly to Holly.

"I always do." Holly sighed, "Let's keep moving ... I'll sing to keep us entertained."
She cleared her throat.
"SO GIVE ME ALL YOUR POISON, AND GIMME ALL YOUR PILLS, AND GIMME ALL YOUR HOPELESS THOUGHTS THAT MAKE ME ILL!"

Natalie put a silencing charm on Holly immediately.

Holly continued to sing, but no one heard her.
"Oh..." she commented.

Natalie sighed, and kept walking, picking up the speed.

Raven was secretly very thankful for the silencing spell and urged Merlas to lengthen her stride to keep up with Natalie.

Natalie kept her pace.
"I'm quite...worried about Shad..." said Natalie quietly, "she was really getting a beating I think..."

"Shadow can handle it." Raven said.

"No she cant." Holly argued quietly.
She had got the spell off.
Dont ask why.
