Tez and Seff stared intently towards the right. They could now distinctly hear rustling noises. The wolves were just beyond their sight now. Only a few more seconds before they fought. Their combined strength should be enough to fight them as well as Romildia.
However, Romildia wasn't easy either so it'd be difficult to think one could manage that. Tez with them made Seff feel a lot better. Her brother was much more skilled in fighting than she. That was saying something because Seff was already that good of a fighter now. She had advanced over the years but definitely wasn't in league with her brother just yet.
Romildia laughed a bit before rubbing her hand on her small staff. She knew Juliet was here for she had been the one to have caused this. Her intentions for this was to make Lily give up the locket. Soon, the red wolves were in sight. Teeth bared as they dashed at Lily, Seff, Tez, and Raina. Though more cautiously with Raina.

Everything had went fairly quiet after Lily had spoke moments earlier. All that could really be heard were rustling noises, well either it was that, or Lily was just blocking all other noises out. She gripped tightly onto her sword and bit down on her lip, trying to find something that could distract her from her nervousness, though so far, nothing seemed to be working for more then a second or two.
Now, Lily was becoming a bit paranoid. Even something like the sound of a footstep made her nervous. But though it was hard, she was determined to stay strong. She had to.
Everything seemed eerily calm and quiet after Lily had heard those rustling noises, though the calm was quickly broken once she noticed Romildia's wolf creatures coming their way.

The wolves that neared the humans instantly dived at them. Trying to bite them all. Tez reacted by blowing those foolish enough to lunge at him with a white fireball large enough to be the size of a small boulder. He was indeed much stronger than Seff. Though he wasn't using his maximum energy yet.
Tez was saving it for later. Romildia laughed again as she neared the spot where they were all about to fight. Giggling madly. Always amused by such things. Raina stomped on any wolves stupid enough to get close to her. Giving them all a good beating. The wolves took care to not near her in such a way now. Instead, they circled the dragon as they snarled.
Seff kicked away a wolf that tried to bite her leg. One wolf was keen enough to grab her thin black cloak. Nearly causing her to lose her balance in the process. Seff furrowed her eyebrows as her cloak got snatched off of her. She was now in just her maroon thin long sleeve shirt and black form fitting pants.
One wolf tried to jump at Lily from behind. "LOOK OUT!" shouted Seff.

Lily looked around. Obviously, the battle was beginning now. Though all she could do at the moment was just stand there and watch what her friends were doing. She wanted to help them out, but didn't want to end up getting in the way somehow. So, her plan at the moment, was just to wait for her own battle to begin, though unfortunately, her battle was coming to her unexpectedly.
So caught up in everything that was going on, she didn't notice that one of the wolf creatures was about to jump out at her from behind. But when she did finally notice, it was too late.
When she had first heard Seff's warning, she didn't see anything coming at her from the sides or in front of her, but when she turned her head and looked over her own shoulder, she could see it coming at her. But there was nothing she could do, the creature was coming, and she froze up.

Seff saw that Lily wasn't going to turn around in time and made to help her. Sadly, a wolf leapt up and bit her arm. Seff gritted her teeth as she swung the wolf around. Trying to get it off of her. How sharp their teeth were! Some blood was dripping down but she payed no mind to it as she tried her best to fight the wolf off to get to Lily.
She'd be too late! Raina was busy with a large group of wolves surrounding her. They were quite more cautious with the large white dragon. They had learned after the first few tries that Raina wasn't one to be toiled with so easily. They circled her. Raina's attention was far too fixed on the wolves than the others. She was busy protecting herself at the moment. Not that she needed it but she was furious at them for trying to kill her friends and such. The dragon wasn't able to think clearly.
Tez, done with his own little mess, twirled around upon hearing his sister's voice yelling out. He looked all around himself seeing no wolves. It wasn't him, she was telling to look out. In fact, it was Lily. A wolf was leaping into the air from behind her. Lily was just turning to look. There wouldn't be much time for her to react!
Tez had only a split second to react before the thing got her. Sure enough, his hand shot forth a smaller white fireball that hit its target. Blasting the wolf away from Lily's back. "Better keep up your guard!" he called before turning around to find himself once again surrounded by wolves. Just how many was this Sorceress able to summon?

Lily wanted to move, but she couldn't. Her legs felt like jelly, and nothing seemed to want to work. Her body was basically telling her to just take it, take the hit. But she was scared. Unlike in the cave, when she was willing to take the blow from the heartless (though thankfully she received help before she had to), she didn't want to do that now. This wolf was much stronger then that heartless was, and would probably hurt her much worse then the heartless would have.
But she had no choice, she had to do it. She then closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly, like she had in the cave. But she wasn't feeling nearly as confident or brave as she had before, for obvious reasons.
Lily waited a few seconds for the attack to come, but it didn't. Strange. What happened? Did it change its mind, or was it just waiting?
She opened her eyes, just in time to see Tez blast the wolf away. Though she was safe..for now, her heart was beating a mile a minute. She was still very frightened. "Yeah...,thanks." She said to Tez. Her voice was quiet, but still loud enough that he would be able to hear her.

Seff sighed with relief and nearly let her guard down after seeing that Lily had been rescued by her brother. 'Thank goodness he was there!' she thought before being snapped back to the present time of her own well being. Her arm was bitten badly and the wolves were surrounding her again. "Ah gee!" she muttered before slashing at them with her sword to keep them all at bay.
Raina roared menacingly as she stomped through the group of wolves. Flinging them aside after deciding enough was enough! Romildia watched amusedly upon a nearby rooftop. She had just teleported there and was sitting back. Enjoying the 'show'. Raina, Seff, nor Tez knew she was there yet. Tez smirked upon hearing Lily's reply.
"Hey, no prob!" he replied before focusing his energy again. His fire powers were rising inside as he prepared for a burst of flame. The wolves all jumped at him thinking they had him. Boy were they proved wrong as he surged all of that contained energy forth. Blasting them all back and sending them skywards. He was indeed more advanced than Seff was.

To calm herself down, Lily simply kept taking deep breaths, until her heart beat was normal again. The battle had only started a few minutes ago, and she was already beginning to crack up. And if it weren’t for her friends being here, she would have been wolf food by now. “I don’t think I can do this..” She then thought to herself.
But what was she saying? She was giving up already? How pathetic is that? If she gave up now, she wouldn’t only be failing herself, but she would also be failing her freinds...and her sister. And she really didn’t want to do that.
Though Lily currently wasn’t participating in the battle going on at the moment, she was having a battle of her own inside her head. Though her lack of strength and confidence had never bothered her as much as this before, everything was really catching up to her now, at the worst possible time.

Seff glared at the wolves surrounding her before sending fireballs all around and knocking most of them away. Raina was holding her own quite effectively. Tez was wiping the ground with these things.
Suddenly, a puff of purple smoke appeared and as it dispersed, Romildia stepped out of it. Laughing cynically at them all. "Well, well, well!" she commented with a nasty smirk upon her face. Eyeing them all with a look of amusement.

Lily’s thoughts were interrupted when she noticed a puff of purple smoke. Odd...,what was it? Though mere seconds later, her question was answered for her, before she even really got to think about it at all. She had not expected to see Romildia step out of the puff of smoke. Though she had expected her to make an appearance at some point, she didn’t think it would’ve been so soon after the battle had started.
“You...” Lily hissed, looking at Romildia. Her eyes were narrowed and her tone was anything but a happy one. “Where’s my sister?” She questioned immediately. Right now, Lily was in no mood to play games with Romildia, she wanted answers, and she wanted them now.

Romildia raised an eyebrow as she gave a sneering smirk towards Lily. Seff glared over at the sorceress after having blasted back another red wolf. Raina growled menacingly over at her as well. Deep blue dragon eyes fixed upon her. Romildia, this time, showed no fear towards the large white dragon. She must've either found a way to rid herself of Raina if the need be or was just hiding her fear.
Whether one, Raina nor Seff knew. Tez managed to give the sorceress a rather quizzical look. Glancing from the enraged Lily, who knew she could have such anger within her, towards his sister and the dragon. Everyone else appeared like they were ready to fight. Tez was as well but not as angered as they all were for he had only just joined the crew.
His brown eyes went back over to the sorceress as he waited to her the witch's response to Lily's question. Romildia just continued to smirk as she rubbed the crystal ball upon her small sized staff. "Wouldn't YOU like to know?!" she taunted. Teasing before actually deciding whether to give an answer or not. How the others wanted to kill this girl.
After a few minutes, she chuckled sinisterly. "Well, if you MUST know....She's what you'd say.....hanging around!" she said. Giving Lily a chilling smile. A light of amusement was in her eyes. This must've excited the evil doer.

"Excuse me, But I don't think that was quite the answer I was hoping for." Lily said, with her eyes still narrowed as she looked at the sorceress. Though she was trying her best to stay strong against Romildia, there was no way that she could say that the smile Romildia gave her didn't send a chill down her spine, which it did.
But the sorceresses smile wasn't the only thing that frightened her at the moment, she was also frightened by Romildia's answer to the location of her sister.
Lily then took a deep breath and looked Romildia right in the eye, which was actually very difficult to do. "I'm going to ask you again. Where is my sister?"

Romildia merely widened her smile to an evil grin. Finding this all deeply amusing to her. 'I shall get my lockets back!' she thought sinisterly. Raina growled all the while as Seff and Tez remained silent. Both siblings were giving Romildia dirty looks. Stiflingly dirty. Ones that could make someone run away.
The sorceress merely laughed at Lily's question. "I've already given you my answer....she's hanging around....why don't you go have a look for yourself?" she said. This made a chill go down Seff's spine as she saw the look Romildia was now giving Lily. A look that meant something behind it. She didn't HANG Juliet, did she?
That'd be horrid! Tez didn't like this sorceress at all. He hadn't thought evil could get much worse than the Heartless but today he was proved wrong. This Romildia spelt evil with a capital E. He gripped his double swords more tightly as he glared at the sorceress. Just how strong was she, really? If she wasn't THAT bad, Tez would have her head on a silver platter for Lily and the others to gloat over. (XD!)
With that, a puff of purple smoke emitted again to have the sorceress disappear from sight. A chilling laugh erupted and echoed through the night air. "What you'll be looking for would be near the docks, deary!" she cackled. The wolves all perked up their ears and ran in the direction that was indicated for them to go. A summon if you will. Romildia had made them go towards the area indicated.

Hanging around? Could there be...a bigger meaning to what Romildia was saying? Oh, did Lily hope not. Just the mere thought of something like that though, gave her chills. Was Romildia honestly capable of doing something like that? Was she that evil? Unfortunately, Lily's guess was yes.
"T-the docks!" Lily quickly stuttered out after had Romildia left. "Where are the docks?!" Her once calm expression was replaced by an extremely frantic one. It wasn't good to be thinking the worst, but with Romildia, you couldn't help it.
But who knew, maybe Romildia used those words on purpose, just to scare them all. Yes...that was it.., it had to be..

Romildia was gone from sight again as well as her wolves which just disappeared into the nearby shadows of the night. Heading what definitely appeared to be the right direction where the docks would most definitely would be. Seff's eyes were wide as she looked over from her brother to Lily.
What Romildia said made her fear for Juliet's life. Hopefully, Romildia meant something different than that. Such as, maybe the other was contained in something that was hanging in the air and not have killed Juliet. Raina began to walk forwards as she came to a stop behind them all. Waiting for them to take off at a run so she could follow their lead.
Tez feared the same thing as everyone else must've been thinking. Seff wasn't sure where the docks were for she had only been her once or twice. Not as often as her elder sibling must've been. Tez waved them over as he took off at a run towards the docks. "This way!" he shouted back to them.
Seff darted after her brother. Raina patiently waited for Lily to take off as well. If not, the dragon would gladly pick her up and take her there.

Just by looking at her friends faces, Lily got the feeling that everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing she was. And if their guesses were right, Oh what a bad it would be for Romildia. If it ended up that the sorceress did do something to her sister, Lily would make sure that Romildia regretted what she did, that's for sure.
Though of course, Lily hoped that it wouldn't have to come to anything like that.
Lily then watched as Tez ran off to the docks, then Seff after him. But she didn't follow right away. It took her a few extra seconds before she began to run after them. "Come on Raina!" She called to the dragon as she ran.

Raina needn't be told to run after them, she already started when Lily took off. Seff and Tez already had a head start. The moonlight just eerily loomed out of the darkness of the streets as they made their way there. Seff and Tez had skidded to a halt to wait for the other two to catch up to them. Their faces had fear in them for Juliet. Hopefully, Juliet was alive and not....well... they didn't want to think about it. (Sorry it's short! ! My inspiration is low today!)

Lily had been following after Tez and Seff as fast as her legs would let her go, and almost didn't notice that they had stopped running. Though she did notice, right as she was about to pass by them. Lily then stopped so suddenly that she had almost fallen over, though luckily she didn't.
She looked at both of them for a brief moment before she hung her head down and began breathing heavily, she had been running a bit too fast and felt like she was ready to just collapse onto the ground. But thankfully, she had just enough strength left in her to keep herself standing up.
"A-are we close to the docks yet?" She questioned her friends, even though they hadn't been running for that long.

Raina elegantly, surprisingly for something her size, after the rest of the group. Keeping up without any trouble at all. Who knew a dragon could run that fast? Maybe even faster?! Tez and Seff had both bent down a bit to regain their breath before looking up ahead of them. The moon was just over the sea. The docks were in plain sight.
Seff couldn't speak a her brother replied through gasps "We've...we've made...it." Apparently, they all had run too fast for their own good. Thus, making them breathe this heavily. They then turned towards the docks. Looking around. They hadn't noticed the roping above hanging down. It held boxes inside as well as Juliet possibly if they were to all glance upwards. "Where is she?" questioned Seff as she peered around hurriedly and anxiously.

"Really? I guess we were running alot faster then I thought." Lily said. She had now recovered to her normal state, and wasn't feeling as tired as she had before nor did her legs ache as much as they once had. Though she noticed that her friends were still struggling to catch their breath.
"I have no idea. I don't see anyone else around here." She said to Seff, with a slight frown on her face. "We should all keep our guard up though, this all feels a bit suspicious." Lily said, though her tone was much quieter then when she had last spoke.
