"Aw, come on. You know I'd just chase you for fun" she protested. "We're friends. I'd never eat you guys. I'd never eat another familiar" Poff looked at Sapphire's wing in appreciation. "And that looks very pretty. I think it's a good idea" she nodded.
Olivia wrote down all Leo's preferences. She nodded at the question about stars "Certainly I can do that for you darling. Four pointed, twelve pointed and everything in between. I might attach them with an invisible magic glue charm. They won't come off unless a dissolving charm is used" She kept planning the outfit and fitted it with the hologram before it misted itself into the pages of her notebook.
"Is there anything else I can help you with? If not, I'll get straight to work on crafting this fabulous dress and ordering in the accessories and shoes" Olivia smiled.
Larissa and Poff were already done with their dress order. The witch thanked Charlotte and paid her a bit of the total cost. She took some of the diamond leaves and cast her spells on them, breaking them into tiny pieces and shaping them with her will; small prisms with holes in them that could be sewn on like beads. It would usually take a long time to sew each one onto the dress, but Charlotte was going to use her fashion magic to thread everything on simultaneously. She broke the sunstone into tiny beads as well. And she made a small pile of diamond bits to be embedded into a collar for Poff.
Once she had finished making all the crystal beads to be used on her dress, she noticed a commotion outside the store. People were running and shouting. Security guards were walking around heading to the main car park while others escorted groups of people. Larissa heard one of them talk into his walkie talkie. "Demon. Located in the parking lot"
"Uh oh. Leo! I think we have a problem. There's some sort of demon out in the parking lot. I heard the security guard walking past"
"Ohh, not more demons!" Poff complained.

 "And what makes you think we like and enjoy your jokes about chasing us?" Gossamer asked. "I don't recall us ever laughing at one."
Sapphire just rolled her eyes at Poff's protestations. "I might go for earrings, but I dunno what we'd put on Gossamer. He might go for more extravagant feathers, maybe?"
This made the crow puff out his feathers and start preening.
I was considering the gown that I had helped Olivia design, when my attention was dragged away from it by Larissa saying that there was a... demon in the parking lot? I glanced over to look at her, then looked back to Olivia. "None that I can think of, right now. Be safe, both of you." I said to both Charlotte and Olivia.
I then turned and hurried out the door, no doubt Larissa on my heels. I glanced over to see the Security guard, chattering into his walkie talkie. I hurried to catch up with him.
"Excuse me!"
He stopped to look at me, an expression of 'What do you want?' on his face.
"I know someone at the university who can handle any demon." I said with an amiable smile. "And I think I know how to distract it. If you could clear the streets on a route to the University, I'll try to do damage control with the demon."

Poff pouted "Well I think they're funny" she complained. "It's just how cats play. We chase and pounce each other and then play fight. Doing it in the air would be something diffurrent"
Poff looked at Sapphire. "Why not a pair of star earrings, or silver ring type earrings? That would look nice with the celestial enchantment" She looked over at Gossamer. "I think he would look very charming in a small bow tie and top hat, meow" she giggled. "Or maybe some silver tips on his feathers. Crows like shiny things don't they?"
Poff was interrupted by Leo and Larissa announcing there was a demon in the parking lot. She protested at that. Bloody demons. Always showing up to be a pain in the rear. She ran over to Larissa and jumped onto her shoulder while Sapphire and Gossamer flew after Leo.
The party hurried into the mall's hallway where Leo tracked down a guard and started talking. He didn't seem pleased at being distracted from duties but when Leo mentioned someone who could handle any demon, he changed tact.
"Well...Someone used to handling demons would make our job a lot easier. We were just going to surround the thing and open fire on it. Thing is, we're not really comfortable dealing with those things" he shifted and coughed.
"If you're willing to provide a distraction to divert its attention from civilians and get someone in that could dispose of the nuisance, that would be great. This kind of stuff is better left to the Academy. Magical community should deal with magical problems" he grunted. "Right, I'll radio the police and my team and see what we can do to clear a path for you".
Larissa looked at Leo, "What are you planning to do, Leo? We don't know how powerful the demon is. It could be dangerous. You're not going to fight it head on are you? Turning dragon would be a match for it but... Are you planning it to chase you to the school?"

The gaurd seemed a bit happier knowing that there was someone who could take care of the thing nearby.
"Opening fire wouldn't help much. You'd need divine enchantments on your guns or your bullets to harm it. You'd be more likely to harm passerby." I said, before he started radioing the police to set up the route.
It was then Larissa asked me what I was going to do. I looked at her. "It's bound to be dangerous, Larissa. But if w... if I don't do something, who will?" Right, Larissa isn't the combat, fighting type of person. She's likely want to be left out of this.
I reached into my bag and pulled out Celestial Coil. I looked down at it, rolling the dark, glittering and cold whip between my fingers, as I turned to where my sensitive ears (and Sapphire's) could hear the ruckus outside.
"You should go back to Aria and wait there." I said, protectively to Larissa, though I didn't turn to look back at her. "Unless you want to come with me and help... Then we might have to take the car, cause I don't want you getting hurt on my back."

She looked worried. "Well, I mean, I don't know. Academy teachers might be able to take care of it. But then, it is here for us" she said, feeling responsible. She watched Leo pull the whip out of their bag. It was an impressive weapon. Larissa hadn't thought to bring her staff with her. She had commissioned a pretty one to go with her wedding outfit but it wasn't done yet.
Outside she could hear guns and shouting, along with bangs, crashes and demonic roars. She bit her lip when Leo said go back to Aria. "No, I'll - I'll come. I feel like I should help deal with this. You shouldn't have to shoulder all the responsibility. Besides, I'd feel bad if I just left you to deal with it alone. We're a team now, we can fight together" she nodded "All right, we can take the car. I'm sure a car could move faster than a demon at top speed. I'm scared of going that fast but I'm more scared of what's going to follow us"
She saw people running away, and heard the smash of the front of the mall being attacked. It sounded like a car had been thrown at the glass entrance. "We better hurry. It's causing havoc!"

I looked back at her, biting my lip. She wanted to come? She wanted to help? Okay, uh... I hadn't thought that far.
I lifted my hand and it glowed a moment; before forming in my hand a helmet. It looked like a motorcycle full helmet, a deep rasbperry pink and had a visor and everything. I handed it to her.
"Okay, uh... Stick near the guard, and have him tell you when the route is clear. Sapphire, Gossamer, stick with Larissa and Poff. I don't need you getting caught in the crossfire."
"But, Leo!" Sapphire protested--
I glanced sharply at my familiars. "You can let me know when to head for the car." I said. I looked to Larissa. "When the route is clear, head to the car and start it... back it out of it's space. Hop in the passanger's seat. I'll try to Stun the demon and I'll head for you, okay? I'll hop in the driver's seat and we can take off. And use the helmet. Please."
I moved closer to Larissa, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
I turned and headed towards the door. As I walked, I felt something and on my shoulder; I looked over to see Sapphire, hanging from my shoulder.
I stopped, pulled her gently off of my clothes, and spun, throwing her back towards Larissa and the others. Sapphire squeaked as she found herself flung back towards them, flaring her wings and narrowly missed the security guard's head.
I turned again and hurried toward the entrance, my pace getting faster as I transformed-- from human to small, humanoid dragon...

Larissa took the pink helmet with questions in her eyes. She listened to Leo. "Okay, will do. The guard is right over there" she looked towards him to make sure he was still there. He was near the exit doors, directing people away from the demon and calling for police backup to clear the route to the academy.
She watched Leo gently reprimand Sapphire and give her a task. She then turned her attention back to Leo. "Sure, got it. I'll need the car key. I haven't driven for a while, but I'm sure it'll come flooding back to me" she laughed without humour, trying not to be nervous. She'd passed her driver's test, and used to drive her parents' and friend's cars around town before moving to the academy. She didn't have a car of her own and planned to get one as her mode of transport if her crystal magic shop went well.
Larissa tried to remember everything Leo said. She smiled at the forehead kiss and hugged Leo briefly before they attempted to leave. "Be careful Leo" She gave a disapproving look to Sapphire as the bat flew over and landed on Leo's shoulder. Larissa chuckled a bit at Leo's reaction, feeling a little sorry for the bat. The security guard shrieked as a bat nearly collided with his head, ducking and nearly dropping his walkie talkie. Larissa hurried over to join Sapphire. "There's room on my shoulder if you want to sit" she told Gossamer.
The guard looked at the ragtag party; a witch and three familiars. "I really hope your friend knows what they're doing. I've called for assistance for the road to the academy to be cleared. It should be ready soon". He glanced at her helmet as she put it on and buckled the strap under her chin but didn't lower the visor yet. "Wearing protective headgear is wise. The claws on that thing outside in the car park can tear through metal". he informed her grimly.
Larissa shuddered as the crashes, bangs and roars continued outside. "Y-yeah" she agreed weakly. She waited with Poff, Gossamer and Sapphire. Her heart was beating faster than normal. She felt on edge and antsy. She was shaking. She was worried about Leo. What if they got hurt? She kept shooting looks at the security guard's walkie talkie as the minutes ticked by. Ten minutes passed, then another 5. Come on, come on...'Zzzt!' The device fizzed with static and a male voice came through. The road was clear! As soon as she heard it, she leapt into action. "Sapphire, go tell Leo! Road is clear! I'll go get the car". She gripped the car key tight in her hand.
She pulled the helmet visor down and ran outside, picking her way past smashed glass and the remains of the front part of the mall's entrance. She hoped Leo was doing a good job of keeping the demon distracted and that they could stun it successfully. She ran to where the car was parked and pressed the car key. It unlocked and she wasted no time scrambling into the driver's seat and starting it up. Larissa adjusted the mirrors quickly and began to reverse, looking over her shoulder and checking the rear view mirror as well. She backed into another car with a clunk. Larissa uttered a short sharp scream. "Crap!" She tried again, hands fumbling on the wheel. Once it was backed out of its space, she got out and hopped in the passenger seat, hoping Sapphire and Gossamer had flown to tell Leo without getting noticed by the demon.
Poff crawled off her shoulder into her lap. "We did what Leo said. Now what?"
Larissa pulled out her wand and cast a protective shield around Poff. "Now we wait for them to stun the demon and get in the car and drive" she said. "I put a dent in it! Oh my god. I hope Leo forgives me!"
Poff patted her arm "Demon is probs gonna do worse" she reassured her. "Hey, look on the bright side, maybe it'll hide your accident"

I hurried out the doors, to take a look at the demon causing such chaos in the parking lot. The demon looked like a total brute, with a thick muscled body, thick reptilian scales, huge veiny wings and a big square rhino like shape that was complete with horns.
I passed through the shattered mall doors and spread my wings; shooting up into the sky, and raising like a rocket into the sky. I absentmindedly pulled out a pair of wireless headphones (but shaped for Garnet's ears) and set some music on my phone. Only one ear, but I needed something to fight too.
I took off at a decent pace, starting to circle overhead. The rhino demon noticed me and looked up at me, giving a aloud roar of challenge. I noted my approval at Panic! at the Disco started playing in my ear.
"If you're going to pick a fight." I hummed to myself. "Better throw the first punch, make it a good one."
With that I descended like a falling star, and shot straight at him. I twisted in the air and delivered a mach 5 punch to his gut.
The demon obviously wasn't expecting me to punch him right in the solar plexus. I suppose most people would punch him right in his ugly mug, but he looks like he has a thick skull. He went sent flying backwards, in an arch landed, sending cars flying.
Holy crap. I thought. Am I actually that strong? I wondered. What's my limit?
I watched as he climbed out of the pile of cars, and I hoped grimly that my own car would escape this fight unscathed, though I doubted it.
He took to the air himself, and started chasing me around in the air. I lead him around in circles for a long few moments, as I tried to kill time. I occasionally fired off spells at him, (mixed with my holy charms, of course).
Eventually I heard Sapphire's voice in my head. I turned to look at her, hovering there in the air.
Foolish.
He had been hot on my tail, and the demon charged me in the air. We were both sent careening to the ground, and I gave a pained roar as we landed.
I heard sapphire gave an angry shriek and I was pinned by the huge, heavy demon. I groaned, as I felt.... he was heavy. I'm too small, I'll have to grow....
I felt him shift, and I realized that he was batting at Sapphire who was flitting around his head, using her force wing ability to knock his head around.
I squirmed; the side of my face hurt; stung. I think I might have a big old bruise on the side of my face when I turn back into a human. But it was not the worst that could happen, really.
I lifted my head and opened my mouth-- firing off a loud bang and hitting the demon square in the chest as he batted at a furious Sapphire. There was a loud boom as he flew off my back and I jumped into the air, grabbing my precious familiar and running for where I felt Gossamer-- who was with Larissa and Poff.
There was Larissa with the two of them-- in my Impala. I leapt over the hood, shifting back to human and getting into the driver's seat. I took a second to check my mirrors. The whole side of my face was black and blue, but I was surprised to see that I didn't have a black eye. Sapphire was chittering angrily (while hanging from my shirt), and Gossamer was now in my lap, nuzzling my tummy.
I didn't wait for the demon to get back up-- I needed as much time to get out of the now maze of scattered, rolls cars. I floored it, streaking down the isle as I heard a roar-- the demon had gotten back up. Thankfully, he was behind us and I had parked on the edges of the parking lot....

Larissa would have shaken her head at Leo using music to fight to. It would be an unnecessary add-on in her mind and even a distraction. Who played music whenever they went into fights? Honestly! That was such a Leo thing to do. Having your own soundtrack. She would find it equal parts exasperating and amusing.
She hadn't gotten a proper look at the demon Leo was fighting yet which was probably for the best. Larissa was sitting in the passenger seat, stroking Poff through the magic shield and trying to watch what was happening through the windows. She saw something purple and sparkly in the sky - that had to be Leo! The dragon flew out of sight and they heard a terrible roar. Larissa was worried. She couldn't see what was going on and wanted to get out and look, but Leo told her to wait in the car!
She suddenly heard and saw the demon plummet from the sky and crash, sliding into cars as the trajectory of the punch sent him backwards into them. "Leo!" Larissa cried out. That demon was huge! It looked terribly strong. She hoped the thing would stay down but alas, it righted itself and leaped back into the air to pursue the dragon.
Poff and Larissa could both sense and sometimes catch glimpses of Leo's spells and holy magic. Then there was another type of roar - a hurt dragon. And Larissa had seen something shoot to the ground. They were moving so fast it was hard to tell what was going on, but she could see the demon pinning Leo in the car park. She shouted "Leo! Get off her, you brute!". The helmet she wore muffled her screaming. She saw something tiny attacking the demon's head in bursts of speed and realised it was Sapphire, distracting him. "Go Sapphire!" Then Leo fired off a small blast of energy and hit the demon, sending him flying again. "Go Leo! Get him!"
Larissa saw Leo grab Sapphire and make a run for it. She had left the driver side door open so Leo could leap straight in. The shift from dragon to human happened so suddenly that it startled her, and she gasped when Leo sat in the driver's seat. Poff's fur stuck on end. "D-dragon! H-human!" she gibbered, pointing, eyes wide and popping as she looked at Leo. She had no idea Leo could shift forms that fast.
"Leo, your face! Oh my god!" Larissa exclaimed, noticing the dark bruises. "That demon is too strong! You got hurt!"
Leo floored the car and they sped off, dodging through the wreckage and down the aisle onto the road. The angry bellow of the demon trumpeted in the air, deafeningly loud, and Larissa tried to cover her ears, slapping a hand to the side of her helmet uselessly, the other arm cradling the shielded Poff in her lap.
She was terrified. "Is it chasing us? Oh my god, oh my god! Leo...! I hope this plan works!"
They made it onto the strip of road that led to the academy. It was mostly straight, with wide, smooth turns. At this speed, Leo should be able to navigate it so long as they had the skills of a racecar driver, or close enough. She turned around in her seat to look out the back window. "It's chasing us!" she shouted. She nearly peed her pants at the sight of it.

The radio turned on almost automatically, playing something I couldn't help but feel strangely appropriate for the situation. Larissa was squeaking and yelling, and I couldn't help a growl with a wince. "Please stop yelling dear, it's not helping."
I made it to the edge of the parking lot, and since the road was clear I knew it would be safe to pull this maneuver. I hit the clutch and then pulled up the handbrake, sending the Impala into a slide as she careened around the corner onto the road. I then put the handbrake down and slammed my foot to the floor, feeling the engine roar as I switched from first, second, 3rd gears.
The Demon saw the car drifting off and gave another roar, and there was the leathery flapping of wings. Yep, he's following.
Gods, I forgot how nice it feels to really drive.
My Imapala was a dark green streak as I shot along the long, wide road towards the university. I had to swerve several times to avoid charges from the demon.
"Larissa." I said after a moment; we were approaching the first wide turn.... I will likely have to drift through this one too. "Call Liliana. Tell her we're coming."

Larissa didn't pay attention to the radio. She was too busy freaking out. She yelped and flinched at Leo's growl and then pouted unhappily. "I can't help it - I'm scared!" She gasped out. She was clinging to the side of her chair for dear life, her eyes glued on the demon.
Leo made it to the edge of the parking lot and then did something which made Larissa release an involuntary scream of fear. the car was sliding! At this speed! They were going to crash. Leo put the handbrake down and slammed their foot on the accelerator and Larissa screamed again, releasing the side of the seat and reaching to grasp at her seatbelt and the door handle/grab rest inside the passenger door.
She cringed at the demonic roar that thundered forth, surrounding them, seeming almost to buffet the car with it's noise. Larissa was crying and panting from fear as the car sped and swerved. Poff was clutching onto her blouse and cardigan for dear life, huddled down in her lap. Both of them were terrified. They weren't used to this speed, or the car doing different maneuvers. Or being chased by huge demons.
Larissa snapped out of it when Leo said her name. "I-I can't! I can't!" she stammered, but released the door handle and started fumbling in her pockets for her phone. She pulled it out and with a shaking hand, clumsily opened her contacts list and hit the speed dial for Lilian. The teacher picked up and Larissa's words spilled out in a rush of panic. "We're coming! there's a demon chasing the car! Be ready! - It's Larissa!"
Lilian managed to piece together the broken shouts. "Larissa! Wha- calm down. Okay, I understand". She shook her head at Larissa's flailing. That girl was way too wound up and excitable.

Larissa screamed again when I drifted into the street, and I winced at the loud noise; and sapphire covered her head with her wings. I should have made her go back to Aria. I thought as we rapidly approached the turn-- her screaming was more distracting then the music ever was.
We reached the turn and I pulled up the handbrake again, causing us to slide around the bend just as the demon crashed into a telephone pole. If it wasn't for the fact that we were in such terrific danger, I'd would most likely be enjoying myself.
The rest of the journey went like that; drifting around corners and narrow misses from the demon. Within moments the towering buildings of the University emerged from the city space.
I drifted around a corner, and saw a barrier. It was severl hundred feet away, so I slammed on the brakes and I could feel my chest hit the seatbelt as it attempted to restrain me from the deceleration.
We didn't even reach the barrier before a pair of large claws sunk in through the roof with a mighty crunch. I cursed loudly as the car was lifted into the air.
I reached down and undid my seatbelt before flicking off Larissa's. I grabbed both her and Poff as I kicked the driver's door open and flung us both out.
My wings unfurled before we hit the ground, and I swooped upwards as Gossamer and Sapphire flew wingtip with Wingtip with me. I banked, and we landed on a rooftop.
The demon roared, once it realized that we were no longer in the car he had snatched up. I turned around just in time to see him pull the car off of his hind claws and throw it at us.
I shoved Larissa out of the way and lifted my hands, catching my Impala by the bummper. It was then I got a good look at my beloved car's condition."MY CAR!" I bellowed in fury. I then threw the vehicle right back at him.
My car would have just bounced right off, if it wasn't for an abrupt bolt of holy golden fire hitting the demon right in the back. He bellowed in pain before getting face smacked by the Impala, and was sent careening to the ground.

Larissa wouldn't be enjoying herself, demon or no demon. She would have a better idea of Leo's driving skills afterwards though, and be more trusting if Leo ever decided to drive like this again. It wouldn't completely erase the fear of high speeds and deft maneuvers but it would help.
She was glad when she spotted the academy coming into view. Then back to screeching as Leo slammed on the brakes. Her scream was cut short by the seatbelt jerking her sharply, Poff digging her claws into tender skin and clothing to stay on Larissa's lap. Being flung through the car windscreen was not good for her, even with a protective holy shield.
Bam! Claws sunk through the roof and Larissa and Poff both yelped. Larissa shrieked and panicked as the whole car was lifted into the air, her familiar panicking with her. Everything was kind of a crazy blur as the crystal witch felt her seatbelt fling off and Poff and herself grabbed by Leo. She was startled at being flung out of the car, and screamed again before Leo's wings unfurled like a big parachute and carried them upwards.
When they landed on a rooftop, Larissa and Poff's legs were all like jelly and they were shuddering wrecks. The demon's roar boomed out again, reminding them that it was still very much there and very pissed off. It threw Leo's car towards the party and Larissa fell down as she was shoved out of the way, her jelly legs not supporting her. She managed to scramble back up again and grab Poff, stuffing the cat in her magical cardigan pocket. She cowered at Leo's furious yell about their car, and watched with wide scared eyes as it was flung back towards the demon, just as golden fire spearing into the demon's back. The car followed, and the creature was flung to the ground.
Larissa sat on the roof, shaking, her arm around Poff in the magical hammer space pocket, the cat's head peeking out. "Is -is it d-dead?!" she stammered hopefully. The small wounds and scratches from Poff's grasping claws were stinging a lot. But she was glad that they were both unhurt and alive, even if they felt like emotional train wrecks.

I panted, feeling the sting of the bruises on my side and arm and face. For a second there, the demon was still with the upside down wreck of my Impala ontop of it.
I let out a breath. "I don't think so."
Just as I said it, the Impala rocked and fell off of it, as the demon, it's back charred-- got to it's feet with an angry growl. It glanced around to see who had hit it with the fire, and I pulled Celestial Coil off of my waist.
"Time to finish this." I said, before diving off of the roof.
There was a plume of smoke, and there was Liliana-- standing before it. She had a glimmering blade in one hand, shining a bit too brightly-- made me wonder how she was holding it, at least until I noticed the thick black gloves on her hands.
The demon roared at her, when another bolt of holy flame struck it in the back. It roared and lashed out at Liliana, and she leapt backwards out of the way, leaving a deep gash in it's arm with her blade. It's flesh seared at the blade's touch.
I glided overhead, looping my whip into a lasso and flinging the loop over the demon's head. I was half transformed again, as I was tougher with more dragon reinforcing my form. I shot forward, pulling the loop taut and diving downward to choke the thing with Celestial Coil.
The demon found it more pressing to deal with the divine whip currently trying to cut off it's air supply; so it reached up and tried to break the ropes. It's claws failed to cut, which gave Liliana an opening to jump upward and stab the demon in the chest-- before kicking off and slashing it across the throat.
It was then that the demon seemed to groan and fall forward. I was almost worried that Liliana would get caught under the beast, until a flaming streak of gold streaked through, and she wasn't there any more.
The demon flopped onto his face, and I turned to see that Liliana was on the back of a flaming golden tiger... hey, that's Brutus! After a moment, the flames faded away and there he was-- Liliana was perched on a saddle, carefully clutching it to not fall off-- and her legs tucked up not to touch his just flaming fur. She relaxed when it was normal fur again.
He growled deeply at the demon, and Liliana readied her weapon again.
But there was no need. After a moment, I watched as he changed color-- and I was surrounded by a rainbow of flower petals as the demon dissolved under me. I fell, landing on my feet-- and looking up as I was surrounded by a colorful tornado of petals....

Larissa looked worried "No way. After all that?" she whimpered. She watched as the demon got back up, growling. She then watched Leo pull out their weapon and dive off the roof. Leo looked brave and impressive at that moment. And they had a cool and pretty weapon.
Larissa hoped they could do it. And without getting further injury. She watched as Leo and Lilian fought the demon, wincing at the blinding light from Lilian's weapon. She also cringed and whined at the sight of blood when the blade damaged the creature, wanting to look away but unable to tear her eyes off the battle. The finale took her by surprise, it wasn't what she'd been expecting.
The flower petals were so pretty. And Lilian and Brutus were very impressive and amazing. Their skills and their appearance was rather dazzling and inspiring. Leo's too.Although she couldn't see them now through all the petals in the air. "I-Is everyone all right?" she called out. She looked around for a way to get off the roof and climbed to the edge, before turning around and beginning to slowly climb down a drainpipe and brickwork, and window ledges. Poff was still in her pocket and shielded, only her head peeking out.
"I think it's over, meow" she thought-spoke in Larissa's mind.
"Yes, the demon is dead. Thank gods. We weren't much help. But don't blame yourself, Poff. It was all my fault. I'm sorry. Just, don't say anything. You did nothing wrong." She made it safely down to the ground and started walking towards the group of three, stumbling and almost tripping over a few times. "Leo - you're hurt! Where are you?" she called, flower petals obscuring everything. "I want to heal you!"
