Chapter 13 - 13. last ditch effort.

It was weird when it happened. It was as if some magnetic field interrupted them as if they were actively repelled from each other as if they were negative or positive whatever towards them they could not get close for some reason forcing them to repel which was odd. 

Levin stood up with his sister he struggled deeply doing all he can to force himself up barely making it to his feet he felt dazed and confused as he started to walk away, It quickly shifted into a Sprint, but then he stopped in place causing the grass to be kicked as he slightly turned his head and saw Moxie.

The girl laid limp and not moving. It's as if every function of her body just decided to stop.

"Help…." 

Moxie mumbled softly as she could barely feel her own body.

Levin sighed as he turned his head over to her he was hesitant to move on For some reason felt as if he couldn't leave this girl behind Even though he definitely should he has no reason to help her other then The fact that he feels bad.

"I got you"

 Levin declared as he turned back to Moxie he gently picked her up holding her bridal style as he was also holding his sister tightly. 

"thank…. You"

 Moxie softly whispered. 

"Don't speak, I'm only helping you So you can receive proper punishment" 

Levin stated.

Levin rushed forward trying to get as far as away from the whisper as he could. 

The whisper was keeping up with extreme speed; it was like a blur of darkness blasting forward; it was already 200 feet away from the pair, and quickly approaching. Levin did his best to get as far away as he could, unfortunately he was slow, compared to The whisper. 

"That thing's approaching, can you do anything again?"

 Levin asked, as a heavy wave of panic crept among his face. 

"... I'm out of mana. My energy is heavily depleted. I overused my magic"

 Moxie replied as she coughed up blood.

"why could you have possibly done to use Just about all your mana, I mean from what I can tell at least it looks like you did due to well you know spitting up that blood" 

Levin commented as he quickly saw the whisper in his mind he was panicking not knowing what to do could he do anything? 

"Well I use my unique magic, to change the atoms and chemical responses in both you and the creature, to create a chemical response of electrons and neutrons that cannot possibly touch each other causing a passive response, that being the pushback, since I have eaten anything since yesterday and I already used up a majority of my mana getting away from you, That last spell nearly killed me but if you have any food on you that would be awesome"

Moxie said, with a whimper in her voice she struggled to speak as slowly coughed up a bit of blood once again every fiber of her body felt like it was on a fire and shutting down.

"Oh unique magic, So you're a spellborn One of those gifted with extremely potent and divine magic exclusive to just them, You actually pretty lucky to be gifted such yet you use it to be a child kidnapper how unfortunate"

Levin replied with a hint of jealousy in his voice, as he started to avoid the attacks and tendrils that the whisperer was throwing at him due to the fact that that creature was now pretty close. 

"Come on now children, You have no way of escaping me"

 the whisper announced. 

Levin braced himself preparing for the coming attack he knew he was out of time there was no way that he could even avoid the next attack.

But perhaps look flipped on his side.

A light howling could be heard as a 100 foot white wolf jumped down from the top of the castle standing into the ground aggressively causing indentations to appear on the grass. 

"Mother…." 

Levin whispered with the brightest smile on his face, he knew that he somehow did it. He somehow lasted long enough for somebody to help anybody, he sighed with precious relief. 

"That's your mom?" 

Moxie asked as her skin was turning a light yellow slowly she even struggled to speak those words with a congested throat feeling as if no air was reaching it. 

"Yes, she's here… but what's going on with you?" see Levin asked 

"I've used up all my mana, I'm dying mana is Life Force with our it you can't live"

 Moxie replied 

"How can I help you?"

 Levin asked instinctively, as he was cautious and curious.

 

"I need food.. .."

 Moxie simply said as her life continued to drain.

"Okay, I have something," 

Levin said as he gently placed her onto the ground. 

"You're going to help me? Why?"

 Moxie asked generally curious until why the boy was going to help somebody like her he was a prince after all, she even attempted to kidnap his little sister So it made no sense to Moxie, on why Levin was helping her, but maybe it was because he felt like he had to just like she felt like she had to save him but she could not think about it long as she was quickly fading. 

"Because it's the right thing to do" 

Levin replied in a sweet and caring tone there was no doubt in his voice he truly felt this was right.

Moxies ears twitched at the idea that someone actually cared about her, The deep down she knew the reason was really due to the fact that the boy just wanted her to face punishment. 

Levin looked down at the girl he had from once taken a good and full look at her, in all honesty she was beautiful, Even with her being dirty she still had a pretty face, she just needed to be cleaned up. Levin shaked his head with a sigh of as he held his sister tightly as his eyes shifted off Moxie he caught a glimpse of a few guards, he hastily flagged them down, hoping they would see him. But before he could get there he felt Moxie grab his leg, the rush of adrenaline was blocking everything out for him but now he heard everything he hurt his sister cry she was scared more than anything but he had not noticed it he was too worried about other stuff he didn't even have to get the guards they were already on their way they heard the little girl cry as well.

"What do I do how do I get her to stop and calm down"

 Levin said in a full-on panic as he dropped down taking a knee next to Moxie. 

"Scared… she… is.. So scared" Moxie choked out.

"Scared? What do I do ...." Levin asked As a wave of confusion and concern brushed on his face 

"Sir"

 "Prince"

 "Young Master" 

Iris, Leon and Jaxon 

said at the same time as they arrived looking battered, beaten and bruised up bloodied as their armor was shattered but they were alive barely, from the encounter they just ran from. 

But at this point Levin was paying them no mind he was only focused on his sister. 

At this point Moxie raised up barely not fully standing up only kind of barely leaning up as she stared at the young child she just tried to kidnap a wave of embarrassment and concern ran down her face and she frowned and thought of an idea, causing that frown to turn into a smile briefly.
