"Let's go." He said as he broke into a run for the door. Before too long, he was outside. He turned back to realise that Dehx wasn't behind him. His face creased into a mask of confusion as he walked back to the door. Before he reached it, Dehx burst out and stopped dead.
"Wow, you're fast." Dexh said, more suprised that he gave Zack a compliment than his actual speed.
"And you're slow. Change into your weapon form, we'll be quicker." Zack said as he grabbed Dehx's wrist tight.
"But you won't be able to weil..." Dehx started.
"Just do it." Zack said as Dehx transformed into his dagger. Before Dehx had finished, Zack was already speeding down the steps and out into the forest.
After about 10 minutes of solid running, Zack slowed a little. The feeling he got before in Clair's office had subsided. It had bee replaced with a tumultuous feeling, like someone on the brink of anihilation struggling to come back. It washed over him like a battering wave. He could hear voices up ahead; Either he was close to the battle field, or they had dealt with the witch and they were on their way back. He slowed right down as they approached the voices.
"This doesn't sound like a battle." Dehx commented in a confused tone.
"You're telling me. Why did I even bother coming out all this way?" Zack spat angrily as he tossed Dehx aside. Dehx transformed back into himself.
"That's a very good point, why did you come out all this way?" Dehx said with a challenging tone.
"Leave it." Zack said angrily as he walked towards the voices, that were now much closer.
"Why do you want me to leave it?" Dehx said, now too curious to give it up. He had found a chink in Zack's armour, as they say, and he wanted to pick at it and get inside his head. Zack said nothing and carried on towards the voices.
Zack bust out of the trees between himself, Dehx and the two classes to see them all obviously on their way back from the fight. Zack stared at them for a few moments. They didn't seem to stop or even notice him.
"What happened?" Dehx said as he broke the treeline, getting their attention.
"What happened to the witch?" Zack said angrily at missing his chance.
