Chapter 15

Hey ya'll! ^_^ It's that time again when I update Lefty's Story with a new chapter! :3

Meh, this picture was fairly easy to draw :3 Although, it still looks really awsome! :D Anyways, without further ado here is Chapter 15! I hope you guys like it!

Chapter 15

“Rise and shine sleepy head!” A chirpy voice jolted Space from his sleep… “Ugh, Lefty… Why did you do that?” Space groaned as he opened his eyes… Suddenly, Space yelped in surprise as his vision focused on the canine lass… Sure enough Lefty was in front of him, but she was floating… Space was clearly taken back by seeing Lefty just hovering in front of him…

“*Chuckle* Cause… It’s time to get going, and you’re the last person to wake up! For pity’s sake, even Princess is already up!” Lefty giggled as she heard Princess protest something behind Lefty that she knew all too well… Space rolled his eyes as he slowly stood up… “Ugh, okay. But may I ask as to why you are just floating about?” Space raised a concerned eyebrow at Lefty… Lefty flashed a big toothy grin at Space and set herself back down on solid land again… “Cause I can if I want to, and also Cat says that as long as it keeps my leg from having so much pressure on it then she couldn’t care less…” Lefty deviously smiled at Space…

Space shrugged, “Fine, as long as you don’t just pass out suddenly…” Space frowned as he grabbed his armor and started putting it back on... “I think I’m already pretty aware of that thanks to Stripes’ compliant last night, remember?” Lefty grinned as she looked at the wizard behind her… Space mumbled something and walked off, leaving just her and Stripes, since the rest of the group was still having breakfast over the put out fire….

Stripes shifted his feet along the dirt, “Err... So ya… Nice weather this morning, no rain…” Stripes mumbled as he stared at the dirt beneath his feet… Lefty sighed and rolled her eyes towards Stripes, “Okay, so out with it… You’re still concerned, right? Perhaps even a little bit guilty for arguing last night?” Lefty eyed Stripes while cracking a small grin… Stripes sighed as he rubbed the back of his head, “A little yes... But, I’m mostly just worried about this whole adventure… Since you know…. What happens in the third book…” Stripes frowned at the dirt still…

Lefty nearly facepalmed herself, “Stripes… You know that I was upset last night… But that doesn’t change anything! I easily repair…” Lefty frowned at Stripes for even thinking that, “Besides, we don’t truthfully know if that’s gonna happen in the third book or not! For all we know, we could still find a way back home without having to even deal with any weird ‘Prophet’ destinies…” Lefty grinned as she placed a paw around Stripes’ shoulder…

Suddenly Lefty’s cross necklace glowed a very bright blue in response… Lefty wanted to squeak in surprise but the glow around her necklace vanished as soon as it had come, making Lefty ponder why it had done that in the first place…

Stripes grinned a bit, “Fine… But, don’t do anything stupid or else…” Stripes teasingly flicked Lefty on the ear, causing Lefty to squeak in surprise as she snapped back into reality… “Okay! Okay! You win! I won’t do anything stupid!” Lefty giggled as she backed away from Stripes… “Besides, I can actually play superhero until we get home! How about you wizard? Wanna fly too?” Lefty grinned as her eyes glowed a familiar blue as she began to hover above the air…

Stripes grinned and quickly grabbed his wizard staff, making a rainbow-like glow from around himself this time instead of pink… Stripes quickly jumped off the ground and hovered with Lefty also, the duo now giggling as they tried to outdo each other’s height above the ground by hovering higher…

“And just what do you two think you’re doing now?” Shila grinned, as she emerged from the trees and back onto the road… “What do you know Stripes? From up here everyone looks like bugs!” Lefty laughed as she looked at Stripes with a big toothy grin… “I agree Lefty… What do you say we just fly up here until we reach the next village?” Stripes smiled as he flew around Lefty in circles… Lefty giggled as she twirled around in circles, making it look like she was a ballerina… “Better yet, why not just stay up here forever?” Lefty squealed in delight as she flew around in some zigzags…

“HAVE YOU TWO LOST YOUR MINDS?!” A voice below the two screamed, making both Lefty and Stripes jump in surprise the best you could in mid-air… Lefty looked down to see that Space yelling at them, and standing next to him was his little sister Cat, who both seemed like they weren’t very pleased at the moment… “Hey no fair! I want to fly too!” Princess whined as she deviously eyed the childish canines hovering in the air… Shila glared at Princess, trying to warn her not to say anything at moment, which made Princess immediately hush….

“Space is right Lefty… You guys need to stop encouraging each other to recklessly use your abilities! Lefty, what if you passed out from that height?! You would fall to your doom!” Cat screamed hysterically as she eyed Lefty… Lefty and Stripes sheepishly blushed as she slowly started to descend to the ground, feeling very guilty about that idea…. “Not only that, but you’re giving away our position! What if those shadows attack again!?” Space snorted… Lefty frowned and bent her head down, nervously pawing the dirt road…. “Sorry… Just trying to lighten the mood…” Lefty sheepishly grinned…

Space sighed and quickly cracked a smile, “It’s okay you two… I don’t think I could resist playing in the air either…” Space giggled... Stripes just burst out laughing, while Lefty managed to crack a small smile… Shila put her hands on her hips and let out a loud laugh, while Cat also cracked a small laugh… Princess had stifled a giggle, while the whole gang colasped on the ground laughing their insides out…

Lefty was the first to calm down, “Okay, *Chuckle* We need to get going now…” Lefty smiled as the rest of the gang picked themselves up…

About an hour and a half had passed while the gang traveled along the dirt path, leaving everyone’s muscles aching and screaming for a break… “Stripes how much longer…….” Princess whined for the 5^th time in the last seventeen minutes… Stripes sighed and rolled his eyes, as he studied the map once more, “Okay Princess, this is the last time I tell you that we should be there before noon… Just keep your eyes on the sun, and when it reaches the highest point in the sky you can ask once more, ok?” Stripes grumbled as he looked at the map’s locations again…

Princess didn’t seem satisfied by this, as she kicked the dirt on the road, making dust trails for everyone behind her… Out of all of the gang Lefty seemed to be the most tired, she had given up using her ‘light powers’ to levitate and continued to drag along the ground… When Lefty would do this, Cat would occasionally poke or prod Lefty until she focused herself back up off the ground… But eventually Lefty had become too tired to even do this, as she flopped her feet back down onto solid earth… “Okay, I’m done now… Can’t we rest for a smidge? Otherwise one of you will be stuck carrying a passed out Prophet to the village…” Lefty groaned in a harsh manner, as a frown spread across her face…

Cat put her paws on her hips and silently nodded in agreement, “Lefty does have a point. Why not take a break? It’s not like we need to kill ourselves just getting there…” Cat cracked a small smile as she looked at the dead tired group… Shila smiled in agreement as she wiped her forehead, “Ya, it’s hot out here… But then again it could just be my thick fur coat…” Shila giggled as she shifted her gear on her back to make things a bit more comfortable…

Stripes stopped and whipped around to face the group, “But we can’t stop now! We’re only a few minutes from the village!” Stripes whined in disappointment as his tail dropped, obviously in a hurry to get off of the dirt road… Space smiled along with Stripes as he nervously rubbed behind his neck, “Ya I think we should keep going… We are only a few minutes away and I’d really like to rest there…” Space twitched his tail irritably, but then stopped after he noticed he was doing so, “Err… But that depends on what our leader thinks…” Space nervously grinned as he faced Lefty…

(Our leader? I didn’t think I was really one of those…) Lefty blushed in embarrassment as she looked at all of her friends… “Um, wow… Err I didn’t really think I was much of one of those but-!” Lefty’s ear flicked as a roar echoed ahead of the group, making everyone scream in surprise as they dropped everything and quickly grabbed their weapons… Lefty swore that she had seen something moving along the path way, but the roar quickly became too deafening and had made the wind pick up even faster until the gang had to close their eyes to avoid being stung by the dirt in the air… Lefty felt like every bit of her body was going to blow off any minute, but suddenly the wind died down and the roaring could be more easily distinguished to a voice… “Lefty is that you?! You’re in a whole lot of trouble young lass!” A voice screamed as the sound of pawsteps came running towards them…

Both Stripes and Shila immediately ran up to Lefty to cover her, as Space stood in front of them ready to pounce… Cat had managed to squeeze in with Lefty as she looked ahead in horror… Princess however had slung her small axe over her and was swinging it behind the group in case something decided to attack them from behind…

The voice sounded nearer and angrier as the patter of pawsteps increased in beat, “You have got a whole bunch of explaining to do! You and Stripes both!!!!” The voice growled, even though the gang still couldn’t see the figure’s details quite yet as it ran towards them faster…

(Me and Stripes both?! What about the rest of us? And why does that voice sound so darn familiar?! What exactly is going on?!) Lefty panicked as she slumped back further into the huddle…

:O I wonder what's going on? Tune in next week to find out! ^_^ And will Lefty and the gang ever get back home? :/

Chapter 14

Ok, the waiting is over! Chapter 14 is here! ^_^ Can you believe it? 14 chapters already? :D Horray! :3

Okay, this isn't one of my best pictures... :P This was really just lazily (rushed) drawn because I didn't really have much time to go into nice detail this week. D: However, I do like how I drew Phineas and Ferb though... They look alot better than how I typically draw them. :3 So without further ado, here is Chapter 14! :D

Chapter 14

 

“That’s it! It’s been about 15 minutes! I’m gonna go find Lefty right now!” Stripes screamed in his head as he stood up, catching Shila’s attention… “What do you think you’re doing Stripes?” Shila questioned, extending her eyebrow up in question… Stripes frowned at Shila, “I’m going to go find Lefty and Cat, it’s been over 15 minutes and you can think twice about telling me no.” Stripes frowned coldly… Shila stood up in aggravation, (Man, of all the people I had to be stuck with, it had to be a guy who is so stubborn headed!) Shila frowned as she looked at Stripes, her face daring him to bark her up the wrong tree…

A sudden rustle caught both Stripes’ and Shila’s attention… “Lefty?...” Stripes whispered, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes… The bush continued to rustle more suddenly now, causing Stripes to quickly run over towards the bush, looking for Lefty… “Come on Lefty! This is not funny if you have been just sitting there watching us invisibly or something!” Shila whined as she also looked at the rustling bush…

“Squeak!” A rabbit hastily bounced out of the bush in fright and dashed off in the distance, presumably far away by the time Stripes realized what had happened… Stripes’ tail drooped in defeat, as he walked back towards Shila… “Stripes… I’m sorry… I didn’t think that Lefty would be gone this long...” Shila frowned, taking a gulp of regret for not letting Stripes chase after Lefty…

“Now who says I’m gone?” A raspy voice chimed from the trees as two figures walked into the distance… Stripes’ tail perked back up as he looked at the approaching figures, “Lefty! Oh my goodness! I thought you were a goner by now!” Stripes screeched in joy as he ran up and hugged Lefty… “Ow! Hey take it easy! Don’t squeeze me so hard! It hurts!” Lefty grunted as she tried to push away Stripes while he squeezed her…

Stripes sheepishly backed up and looked at Lefty in joy, “Eh… Sorry… I’m just so relived you’re back… I mean…” Stripes stopped as he noticed that Lefty was rubbing her leg weird... Cat walked up to Lefty and poked her, catching Lefty’s attention as she pointed towards a tree, signaling for her to go sit down… Lefty silently nodded her head and half-limped towards the tree and sat down… Both Shila and Stripes stared in confusion as Lefty sat down, “Uh, did something happen?” Shila asked in confusion at Cat… Cat silently held up a finger and pointed at Princess, who was at the time still sleeping quietly…. Shila noticed this and the gang quietly walked by the sleeping Princess and took a seat next to the exhausted Lefty, while Cat dove into her bag and began to pull out several items…

“Me and Lefty got into a fight…” Cat grumbled as she sifted through the medical bag… “Wait what? Like did you guys bite each other or something?!” Stripes asked in astonishment… “No! We did not! Ugh… I didn’t phrase that right…” Cat grumbled as she pulled out a silk cloth and laid it down… “What I meant was… That we were attacked… By this… It’s kinda hard to descried but… It was like this shadowy bear, that was at least 6 or 7 feet tall, if not taller…” Cat frowned, as she pulled out a weird purple berry… Shila’s jaw dropped, “What?! And you guys like, survived with only minor damage?!” Shila asked in astonishment…

Cat nodded as she began to squeeze the purple berry onto the silk cloth… “Well, yes… But, we just barely did… You see, I had found Lefty and we like talked things out… But just as we were fixing to return, Lefty acted weird, and her eyes turned blue… She said something was near… But after a few minutes passed, Lefty felt satisfied that it was gone, and she suggested that we head back…” Cat mumbled through her mouth as she held onto the silk cloth with her mouth. She then began to unroll Lefty’s pants legs again… Cat made sure to be careful and not disturb her, as Lefty seemed to be resting peacefully unconscious due to the amount of energy that had been drained…

Stripes shifted his position and looked at Lefty before returning his gaze to Cat, “Go on Cat…” Stripes frowned, as he looked at the exhausted, drenched, Lefty… Cat nodded as she applied the silk cloth to Lefty’s leg, making Lefty shudder for a moment unconsciously in her sleep before remaining still once more, “Anyways, the bear suddenly pinned Lefty up to a tree… Lefty tried to reach for her sword, but the bear seemed to notice this and pinned her left arm down… That’s when I threw my small sword at the bear, and it yelped in pain and backed off… That gave Lefty enough time to reach her sword… I don’t quite know exactly what she was doing, but she charged at the bear with more courage than I’ve ever seen before… It was a close call, but Lefty got the bear’s ear, and it started smoking!” Cat exclaimed as she rubbed the cloth on Lefty’s leg, making the purple berry stain Lefty’s fur around the wound..

Shila’s eyes got huge as Cat continued, “So, they like kept attacking and dodging each other’s blows… Finally, the bear had enough and swung at Lefty’s legs… Lefty dodged, but just barely as the bear had managed to scratch one of her legs… Regardless, Lefty still stood up and held her sword… But then she ran towards a giant tree! The bear started to charge at her, but when he reached her Lefty just vanished in a bright light!” Cat exclaimed, catching the gang off guard as their eyes grew HUGE… “I thought she was gone, because the bear just exploded and sizzled away… But when I ran over to pick up my sword, Lefty surprised me and re-appeared! She said she had like teleported and stuff… I asked how, but Lefty just fell down and well.. Here we are…” Cat frowned, as she tied the silk cloth around Lefty’s leg and looked at her handiwork…

Stripes stood flabbergasted, as he looked at Lefty with astonishment in his eyes… “Wow, that’s some courage! I didn’t think Lefty had it in her! Especially since she can’t even catch me when she chases me! Huh, guess I underestimated her…” Stripes grinned, as he looked at the drooling/sleeping canine lass leaning against the tree… Cat walked over to the fire and took off her drenched hood, revealing that she had mud all over her coat… “Right, the bear didn’t get a deep enough cut on her to do any real damage, but she will need to take it simple for the next couple of days, until it scabs over…” Cat frowned as she looked over at Lefty, concerned… She quickly turned her gaze on Shila and Stripes, regardless of how much older they were than her Cat still felt like she had some say so about the situation, “So you guys think you can keep an eye on her?” Cat looked at them seriously… Shila and Stripes exchanged looks, “Ya, I suppose we can easily do that…” Stripes grinned, eyeing Shila in the process who just rolled her eyes…

Cat sighed in relief, “Good… Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to call it a night…” Cat yawned as she walked over to a tree and laid down… “Please forgive me Lefty for having to puppy you these next few days…” Cat silently tried to talk to Lefty in her head, knowing that Lefty probably wouldn’t hear her… In the corner, Lefty slowly grinned, (Oh Cat… You ought to know that isn’t gonna work…) Lefty chuckled in her head, before shifting positions on the tree trunk again….

“Wait, you kidding right? You actually managed to harness that much energy?!” A voice squeaked in surprise… “Hush Space! You’re gonna wake them up, or worse make Stripes wonder why there’s noise when everyone’s supposed to be asleep!” Lefty barked at Space. Space smiled, “Eh.. So what? Like I care… They’ll find out soon enough…” Space grinned… Lefty blushed angrily, “Well, I don’t want them to know! They always act so weird…” Lefty shuddered, reminding her of when they were talking while Cat had cared for Lefty’s leg… Lefty pretended to be sleeping, which was halfway true since she was exhausted, but she was really just listening to them chatting about her, including Cat’s mental conversation about puppying her…

“Prove it…” Space’s voice snapped Lefty back into reality… “Wh…What?” Lefty asked, confused… Space shrugged, “You heard me… Show me how you do all that stuff…” Space grinned… Lefty shifted uncomfortably, “Uh… Well… I don’t know… I’ve never tried it without a reason before…. Besides, I’m not sure that I won’t pass out like earlier…” Lefty sheepishly squirmed… “I’m not gonna tattle if that’s what you think… You said yourself that you just thought of what to do and did it… Can you perhaps like, turn invisible and walk through walls? Or can you fly and shoot out orbs?! I mean that would be sooooo way past cool!” Space grinned, his mind turning at the possibilities his friend held…

(Gee.. Could I really do any of those things?) Lefty thought to herself as she looked at Space, “You can do that and soooo much more, young Prophet… But use it sparingly, lest you wish to pass out again…” The stone cross talked to Lefty again…

Lefty blinked, no matter how many times the stone talked to her, she still couldn’t get used to it talking to her like it knew how to communicate exactly the way she thought… “So, what could we do first?” The curious Space questioned Lefty with big pleading eyes… Lefty nearly laughed, “Boy, for someone who is normally such a quiet, shy, and typically silent mountain lion that I’ve known since childhood, you sure do seem to be breaking character today, yes?” Lefty giggled… Space looked at Lefty curious before his face turned red with embarrassment, “Hey! I’m just curious ok? If you haven’t noticed, we don’t have powers in our world!” Space sharply replied as toyed with his clothes.

Lefty giggled, “Teehee! I know that… Okay I’ll think of something that I can do…” Lefty grinned, as she leaned against the tree once more, careful not to disturb her leg as much as she could help it… Space looked at Lefty and smiled, “Okay… Sounds good… I can wait…” Space smiled as he turned over and looked around… Lefty looked at Space before something zipped across Lefty’s body, causing Lefty to shudder suddenly… Lefty’s cheeks grew very hot, as a wave of emotions ran through her, making Lefty blink in surprise… “Stone? What was that?” Lefty asked, wondering if another attack was coming… The stone glowed brightly, “It’s a strong emotional bond…” The stone whispered back… Lefty blinked in confusion, “Huh? Is it like when you know that you’re friends for life or something? Is Space like, gonna play an important role in aiding me through this mission?” Lefty asked the cross stone, still confused… The stone glowed a number of colors before it made a sort of rainbow hue, making Lefty wonder if it was laughing, “Oh you are sooo naïve….. I guess you can say that in a sense it is that way, young Prophet….” The stone whispered before returning to its original color….

Lefty grunted in confusion, and leaned back further on the tree, still trying to think of something to show Space that would wow him… That’s when a spark of imagination hit her… “Hey Space…” Lefty nudged the drowsy lion, “I’ve got something that I can show you... But just remember that I haven’t tried it before…” Lefty grinned… Space just smiled and stared at Lefty, waiting patiently…

(Ok, here goes nothing..) Lefty sighed, as she concentrated really hard… Her stone cross glowed really bright around the two, before it finally faded away… Space blinked a couple of times before looking at Lefty. That’s when Space gasped, floating above his head was a glowing clear blue image… Lefty smiled as her eyes glowed blue, “Look closer Space…” Lefty smiled, as she looked at the glowing blue object in the air… Space squinted at the floating blue object, when a sudden flash distracted him… Now the clear blue image had moving pictures on it… Space watched as the figures became clearer; it was two people with a small duck? Sitting on a porch…

Lefty looked at Space with glowing blue eyes, “It’s one of our favorite Tv shows… Except, I can control it…” Lefty smiled, as she made the smaller, pointier figure on the image move towards the tree in the fenced backyard and climb it… Space gasped as the squarer figure stood underneath the tree and pointed at the smaller figure, while the err… Duck just sat on the porch staring at the two figures… Lefty smiled, “But that’s not all… I can make it in 3D…” Lefty squealed in excitement as another bright flash stretched across the area…

When Space opened his eyes again, he saw that the illusional tree was now standing in the area, looking as real as a tree could get… Suddenly, the pointier figure fell out of the tree, followed by the square figure who was laughing at the small one… Lefty giggled, “If only you could hear it… But, I don’t know how to project sound to you…” Lefty frowned, as she made the images disappear, followed by Lefty putting a paw on her forehead and groan… “Ugh, but it sure does take a lot out of you though…” Lefty frowned as she rested against the tree…

Space just smiled, “Perhaps, but it was fun wasn’t it?” Space grinned… Lefty huffed, “Ya… I guess it was… I haven’t used my imagination like that in such a long time… I was beginning to go crazy not being able to vent my ideas.” Lefty smiled, as she closed her eyes and dozed off… Space looked at Lefty once more before leaning against his own tree, “I just wish I could have powers too…” Space sighed as he drifted off to dreamland…

Okay, this was mostly just a clean-up chapter... -_- Nothing new really, the gang's still hanging out underneath the trees for the night and such... The next chapters they'll be moving around more. :3 I also kinda squeazed 2 chapters into one here because they were too short otherwise... XP So I guess you got a double dose this week due to the delays. :3 Anyways, I hope you guys liked this chapter! ^_^

Chapter 13

Superhero powers activate! Well not really, but that is what this chapter is mostly about... ^_^ Mastering one's powers and fighting off a totally awsome bad guy! *Ahem* I've said too much already... X3 So without further ado, here is Chapter 13! :D

I like this picture... Mainly because I was drawing mid-action, and I don't do that alot! ^_^; It looks ok in my opinion... The bear's swipe could have been done better, but it was a trial... Anyways hope you like it! :3

Chapter 13

Cat eyed Lefty as she continued to swivel her ears back and forth for what seemed like forever. Her fear ebbing away as every second passed, but enough remained to make Cat still hold her breath. It wasn’t the fact that something was nearby that necessarily frightened Cat at the moment, but the fact that even though Lefty’s ears were swiveling back and forth to show she was still alert, her whole face seemed frozen in a mid-growl as her eyes remained locked on the trees and bush in front of her… Rather this was the stone cross’ doing to Lefty or not, it made Cat feel unnerved that whatever Lefty was sensing was still there… However, Cat said nothing and continued to silently eye Lefty from her position in the mud puddle as rain continued to fall at a steady rate.

Suddenly, Lefty’s eyes glowed fainter until they faded all together and Lefty exhaled for the first time in probably 5 minutes… “I… I think it’s gone…” Lefty breathed as she loosened her grip on her waist where her sword was currently hanging… Cat took this as a sign of relief and slowly stood up and walked over to Lefty shakily… Lefty looked at Cat and smiled through her hood, “Hehe… Phew… Barely missed another attack because of my foolishness huh?” Lefty cracked a weak smile as she brushed off some mud on her fur coat…

Cat loosely grinned and looked at Lefty with relief in her eyes. “Y… Ya… Good thing huh...” Cat shifted her feet nervously as she eyed Lefty, still shaken by the close call… Lefty noticed Cat’s behavior and smiled embarassingly as she tilted her head, “So ya… Let’s say we head back and get dried off… Then we can-!” Lefty was cut off in mid-sentence as a swift black figure pushed Lefty beside a tree with a roar, causing Lefty to yelp in utter shock.

Cat got bug eyed as she tried to figure out exactly what was going on, “Lefty!” Cat screamed as she quickly searched her pockets for a small sword Cat had secretly stashed in her bag when Toby wasn’t around; Cat figured she might need it in case of an emergency…

Lefty squirmed in pain as she gained her reason that there was a massive dark figure holding her hostage at the moment… Lefty didn’t quite know what or who it was at the moment, but she did care to actually get away from the figure, since an eerie feeling had started creeping up her spine in reply… Lefty tried to reach for her sword despite being pinned down at the moment, figuring since Cat didn’t have anything to help at the moment she was on her own, but the tall shadow thing noticed Lefty’s movement and a claw suddenly pinned Lefty’s left hand from reaching it, making Lefty once again yelp in pain…

Between the pain Lefty was feeling at the moment and the utter shock running along her spine, Lefty managed to get her focus back and notice that the figure pinning her was some sort of giant black-bear. But something didn’t quite look right about it… Lefty didn’t know if it was just her vision failing her or if it was just being in a dark forest at night, but the giant bear looked kinda hazy and see through… In fact, when Lefty looked hard enough it almost appeared like the figure was formless and continued to shift in and out of its form like static would… Whatever it was, Lefty decided that she was doomed as her movements were becoming harder to control underneath the weight of the bear, and the fact that the bear’s paws were suffocating her underneath the weight…

The black bear figure smiled in triumph at its catch and raised one of its paws up high, ready to make the final strike on its prey… Lefty’s pupils shrunk as she eyed her attacker in the face, making sure to get every detail of who it was before she was defeated and bared her fangs for the final time… (If only I could reach my sword…) Lefty thought, as she closed her eyes in defeat, waiting silently for the final blow… However, no blow came…

Lefty felt the weight shift and let her go as she quickly gasped for air and then re-opened her eyes to find her attacker roaring and bucking in pain, as if something was wrong… Lefty was dumfounded as her eyes caught a glimpse of something shining through the bear’s fur… A small sword had pierced through the bear’s fur just enough to hurt… Lefty cracked a grin as she saw that Cat was standing a few feet away gasping, as she eyed the bear triumphantly… The bear did not like this as he desperately tried to extend his paw to where the sword was stuck in him…

(What am I doing just standing here for?) Lefty mentally face palmed herself as she grabbed her waist where the sword was located… A small lump told Lefty that she had found it, and she quickly drew it out, causing the sword to start glowing in response… (I’ve got to time this just right… Otherwise I’ll probably black out and Cat will be weaponless…) Lefty thought as the sword glowed and hummed louder, (Maybe I should try to actually focus and hit the bear instead of just blinding it and hoping the light finishes it off like the other times…) Lefty’s mind raced as the sword powered up, making even Lefty squint her own eyes… (Here goes nothing…) Lefty exclaimed to herself as she sprinted towards the distracted bear and swung with all her might…

The bear was caught off guard as Lefty managed to swipe his ear as he dodged her attack… Black smoke sizzled from the bear’s ear, making its eyes slit and take on the appearance of a snake’s eyes for just a moment… The bear did not seem pleased at this and roared loudly, causing Cat to shiver in fear as Lefty winced from it… Taking advantage of this, the bear swung at Lefty with his right paw… Lefty dodged, but just barely, as the bear had managed to graze her left leg as she jumped away… Lefty landed weird, but still managed to stand, as she swung her glowing blue sword at the bear, this time hitting his oncoming paw… The bear yelped and jumped back a little, but still held his ground, as he eyed Lefty with such hate in his eyes that Lefty actually had to look away for a quick moment…

Cat looked in surprise at the amount of courage Lefty was showing, as the two enemies slashed at each other, both refusing to back down until the bitter end… By now, Cat had noticed that Lefty was growing tired, as the bear seemed to continue slashing as though he wasn’t even fazed… Lefty grimaced, as she started noticing that her low enough stamina was giving away much faster than what Lefty wanted it to be doing.. “You’re going to have to find his weak spot now, or you’re gonna be his next meal…” The stone whispered to Lefty, as the bear lunged at her again… “And just how do you think I’m gonna do that when he’s covered in thick fur!” Lefty screamed back to the cross stone in frustration, already aware of the situation…

 The cross stone didn’t reply, but slowly hummed as Lefty’s eyes glowed even brighter than what they were while holding her magical sword… Lefty’s mind whirled as her mind was filled with several images, depicting a sort of scenario where she was fighting the black bear, but it quickly changed each time Lefty failed at a strategy, almost as if she was mentally going through a list of ideas and possibilities… The images stopped swirling so fast, and slowly came to a halt in front of one particular… Lefty eyed the image, when a sudden idea struck her with a sharp force inside her head. Lefty re-opened her eyes, due to the amount of pain that had struck her, and once again found herself standing in front of the bear, dodging attacks…

Lefty suddenly knew what to do, she quickly shifted her position and made a sharp turn towards what looked like a huge pine tree, and stood with her back straight up against it, holding her sword in front of her… (What are you doing?! You’re gonna get trapped!) Cat looked in silent horror at Lefty, as the bear smugly charged towards Lefty at full speed…

Lefty grinned in a smug manner as well and slowly extended her sword forward as if she was afraid of the bear coming at her... The bear roared in delight and charged even faster at her… “Three… Two… One…” Lefty telepathically thought out loud, as the bear was almost a mere three yards from her… The bear then came on at full charge towards Lefty now, but a bright ‘Flash!’ temporally took the bear back in surprise as he collided into the giant pine tree, resulting in a big explosion of black goo, and then finally a sizzle, before the figure disappeared completely…

Cat eyed in horror as she saw that there was her little sword still, but no bear, “And no Lefty!” Cat screamed in her mind, as she ran over and grabbed her sword from the ground… “What do you mean, ‘no Lefty’?” A voice questioned sarcastically in Cat’s mind, making her jump. “Who?” Cat blinked in confusion as she looked behind her, but relief washed over her when she saw who… There, standing in front of Cat’s face, was Lefty giggling… Cat got up and ran over to hug her friend, “Oh my gosh Lefty! I… I thought you had died!” Cat cried as she hugged her friend.

“Hey! Take it easy Cat! I’m still here aren’t I? I just simply teleported myself! It was something I haven’t tried yet, but the cross necklace said it would help me…” Lefty smiled, as she hugged her friend, tears of sympathy flowing down her cheek... “How… How did you do it? How did you control your powers without going wacko’ I mean?” Cat questioned as she looked at her friend in relief…

“Let me answer that in just a few mili-seconds…” Lefty grimaced, as she fell down on the dirt groaning… “Oh my lord Lefty!!!” Cat screamed as she tried to help prop up her friend again… Lefty groaned and re-opened her eyes… “Thanks Cat… I just…” Lefty showed her teeth as she let out a quick yelp and fell back down on the floor again… Cat eyed Lefty with concern as she looked at Lefty, her leg was twitching and jerking constantly as Lefty tried to prop herself up again… “Your leg…” Cat eyed Lefty’s leg, as Lefty huffed heavily from the effort she was using to try and get back up…  “It’s just… *huff* a scrape… *Huff* It didn’t get… *Huff Huff* Through any muscle…” Lefty huffed as she clenched her teeth in pain….

“Mind if I get a quick look?” Cat asked, as she started rolling up Lefty’s brilliantly blue pants leg… Lefty only nodded, as she clawed the dirt/ mud ground as hard as she could… Once the pants leg was rolled back enough for Cat to get a good look, she saw that Lefty had been right and that the bear hadn’t managed to cut any muscle, thanks to her thick coat of fur, but still looked pretty nasty… Regardless, Cat pushed back the fur and examined the cut closer… Lefty only winced, but said nothing as Cat eyed her wound closer… “It seems we got lucky, and it’s just a bad scrape… You think you can manage to get back to camp in a few minutes, in case more of those things appear?” Cat asked nervously, as she looked around at the trees…

Lefty nodded, as she tried to pull herself up to sitting position… “Ya, *Pant* I’ll be okay… the pain is already starting to fade away…” Lefty panted, as she started to regain some of the strength that had been zapped from Lefty’s body… Lefty smiled weakly as she winced a little bit from trying to put weight on her left leg…  “You’re trying too hard right now…” Cat exclaimed nervously as she put her paw behind Lefty’s back…  Lefty only frowned a Cat, “No, I need to get up… If we don’t leave… *huff* We’ll be the prey soon…” Lefty grimaced again, as she put more effort into getting up… Cat said nothing as she watched Lefty wobbly get back up on her legs once more… Lefty weakly smiled, and gave a thumbs up to Cat beside her…

“See… I’m fine… In fact, let’s have a race back! Last furry is a wet pelt!” Lefty giggled as her eyes glowed again and she prepared herself to start running… Cat immediately jumped up and grabbed Lefty’s arm like Space had… “No! You’re too weak right this moment! Think about it, you just released a whole slew of energy!” Cat frowned at Lefty… The childlike energy in Lefty’s eyes faded as Lefty frowned, “Ok… I understand… But really Cat I’m fine… Honestly!” Lefty chirped, as she rolled down her pants leg again… But once Lefty realized that it was just making her pants leg stain, she hastily rolled it back up with a grimace… Cat look at Lefty serious, “You may think that way… But from what I just saw no… You will walk back to camp… And as the healer of the group, it’s my job to declare if you’re fit enough to do things or not… And when we get back, I’m gonna make sure that leg is properly looked at!” Cat snorted in a serious tone, as she quickly picked her sword up from the ground and put it into her bag…

Lefty sheepishly frowned and put back on her hood, but didn’t object to Cat’s orders as she walked back to Cat limping… Cat only looked at Lefty as best as one could see through a hood, and began to walk with Lefty through the mushed plants pathway that Lefty had accidently made; Lefty still limping all the way…

Ok, not the ending i'm sure you guys were expecting, but it was awsome right? so how about Lefty activating her powers on her own this time huh? And what will become of our hero when she returns to camp? Tune in next time for the next chapter in Lefty's Story! :D *Cough* ok, i'm done here.... X3

Chapter 12

“Stop! Stop! STOP!” The cross stone screamed at Lefty as she ran. Lefty blinked back tears as she continued to run, allowing tree branches to scratch her face as she ran in the rain. “Lefty STOP! Can’t we just talk? I mean, I’m getting tired… Please LEFTY!” A voice screamed behind Lefty. Lefty didn’t look back, she knew it was Cat, but she didn’t care, she had to get away, she wasn’t going to sit around and let her friends see the grief on her face.

“You know, you should really stop running away from her… She’s not gonna give up, even if she does get tired…” The cross stone whispered into Lefty’s head. Lefty bit her lip and kept running, “I don’t care… I got into this mess, and I’m not backing down now! So I will run all week if I have to!” Lefty angrily whispered back to the cross stone, not caring if it really heard her or not… The cross stone glowed a bright blue in response, “Well, I guess I’ll have to fix that!” The stone glowed even brighter, leaving a confused look on Lefty’s face as she looked down at it for a quick moment.

Unknown to Lefty at the moment, a glowing root moved in front of Lefty’s running path, making Lefty to yelp in shock as she tripped over it and went flying into a mud puddle… “Sorry.. But, this is for a good reason!” The cross stone whispered to Lefty, as Cat ran even harder to catch up to Lefty while she had the chance….

“You know, the more time passes… The more I think about just how badly I dislike ever finding YOU!” Lefty quietly cursed to the stone, as Cat reached her.

“Oh my gosh! That looked painful when you flew a couple of feet into the mud!” Cat exclaimed, as she extended a paw to help Lefty up. Fear showed in Lefty’s eyes as she quickly turned away from Cat and growled, like she didn’t know who Cat was. “Go away!” Lefty sobbed, barely able to get the words out…

Cat was taken back by Lefty’s tone, but she knew that Lefty didn’t really mean it… Cat just sighed and sat down next to Lefty in the mud as rain continued to pour down on the two… “Come on Lefty… It’s just me… You know I ain’t gonna bite your head off, you know…” Cat faced Lefty, sympathy filling her eyes as she silently pleaded to her…

Lefty cast a quick glace at Cat, before returning to stare at the mud… “I… I know…” Lefty sighed through more choked sobs… Cat took this as a sign of progress and scooted next to Lefty, “Good… Now I want you to please listen for like, half a minute… Is that ok?” Cat asked while trying to look at Lefty through what her hood didn’t hide… Lefty’s only reply was a small nod, as her head was still looking at the mud… “Listen, I don’t care what happened back there… It’s not important right now… What I do care about is seeing you so upset that you would pull something like that! But… All I really want to know is… Why?” Cat questioned, as a small stream of tears filled her eyes…

Lefty grabbed Cat’s shoulder, making Cat flinch in surprise a little bit… “Don’t’ cry…. Please… For my sake…. I’m the one who got us into this mess… So please don’t cry because of me…” Lefty sobbed, as she turned her face towards Cat for the first time in a long time, letting Cat see Lefty’s face rather clearly… Cat gazed in wonder as she saw not anger, but sorrow and grief on Lefty’s face… Along with a bit of weariness…

“Cat, you have no idea how much pain I’ve felt these past few days… I just…” Left bit her lip as some tears ran down her cheek, “I really just didn’t want to be the one who broke down in tears… Because… I know that everyone else feels the same way, I know because I can sense it…. The cross stone has told me since the beginning of our adventure, but I didn’t need it to know that… And… I didn’t want to be the one that was a wimp… I wanted to make sure that everyone knew everything was okay because I didn’t break down…” Lefty sobbed, as she hugged Cat the way that a child does to its mother…  Cat twitched a little in surprise but just simply hugged the older teen and let her sob… “Cat, I know that I don’t exactly know how my powers work just yet, but… I know that when I’m thinking about something a lot, my powers just… go crazy… and I can’t do anything about that!” Lefty whined in despair…

Now it was time for Cat to be the comforter, “I know Lefty…” Cat cooed… Lefty shifted a bit more in the mud puddle, “Cat… I knew that since the time I touched the sword and my power flowed through it, I felt every feeling in the room… Like I could see right through everyone like a book… But… I knew that if my powers were controlled by my emotions, then…” Lefty stopped, as fresh tears rolled down her face…

Cat patted Lefty’s back as she sat up straight again, “But… What?” Cat asked Lefty innocently… Lefty sobbed for a few moments before continuing… “I knew that if that was true then, if I saw my friends getting hurt or something… My… Powers would go out of control… And I was afraid that… I would never forgive myself for not being able to control it… And not being able to explain to our parents where everyone went if I ever made it back home…” Lefty sobbed the words out very quickly between bursts of emotion…

A spark of realization hit her… “Lefty… Those thoughts of disappearing are lies that come from fear… You know that I would never ever think different of you… Neither would anyone else, we are all just concerned for you… And..” Cat would have continued to coo Lefty, but Lefty held up a paw to stop her… “O… Ok… If you really mean it… Just… Please don’t act all weird like you guys have been… I just… Feel uncomfortable in front of it all… I want things to be the way they were before all of this happened… I didn’t want to be treated differently even though this is a serious situation and I’m the prophet… *Sigh* I just want things to be somewhat normal, ok?”  Lefty cracked a weak smile through her tears… “Besides, we have this whole other dimension to explore and I don’t want to be stressing out the whole time…”

Cat nearly laughed, but simply remained quite with a smile on her face as Lefty stood up… “So the real Lefty has come back, huh? You ready to head back now?” Cat smiled warmly at Lefty… Lefty didn’t reply, but simply held a paw up to Cat as fear filled the Prophet’s face once more… “Hush!” Lefty’s seriousness on her face made Cat freeze in fear and confusion, but said nothing…

Suddenly, Lefty’s eyes turned the same bright blue glow as she had seen at least for the second time that day… “There is someone nearby…” Lefty growled suddenly underneath her breath, making ice crawl up Cat’s back as her eyes went huge…

Did you think that drama was over yet? Nope! X3 It continues.... Stay tuned you guys, cause this story has not reached its climax yet! ^_^
