Here's the last little bit!
Prim, lying uncomfortably on the hard bed in her cage, looked up as she heard hooves coming down the passage. Moments later, Ali and Hybrid appeared in a long skid, spraying pebbles into the air. Fluffy stepped out of the shadows with a laugh.
“Ah, Ali. At last. Did you enjoy the… game?” she smirked. Ali slid off of Hybrid with a growl.
“Do I look like I enjoyed it?” she snapped. Fluffy arched a brown eyebrow.
“Tch, always so rude,” she reprimanded.
“Rude?” snarled Ali. “Rude? You kidnap my best friend, demand to take my most treasured possession, and you call me rude?” She unsheathed her sword. Fluffy eyed it nervously as Ali stalked towards her.
“Now then, Fluffy, we can do this the hard way, or the easy way. Which will you pick?” A truly evil smile spread across Ali’s face.
“I’ve waited a long time for this. Now, either you let her go, or I kill you. Actually, I think I’ll kill you anyway,” She licked her lips, almost like a dragon, as she advanced slowly on the trembling Fluffy, who whimpered as Ali raised her sword.
“Ali… no…” whispered Prim, from her cage. Suddenly Fluffy threw a set of keys into Ali’s face and fled while she was distracted. Ali fumbled with the keys and released Prim from the cage, sweeping her almost-sister into a hug.
“Ali, you’re squashing me…” complained Prim, but she nuzzled her face into Ali’s hair. Ali lifted Prim neatly onto Hybrid’s saddle, swung herself up onto the strong black gelding’s back, and rode like a rocket out of the mines, Prim clinging on in front of her.
There was a small cheer from the mine entrance as the pair appeared, and we headed home, where Ali trailed after Prim, refusing to leave her even for a moment.
“Ali, it’s bedtime!” complained Prim. Ali folded her arms.
“I am never losing you again,” she retorted.
It took us three weeks to persuade Ali to let Prim out of her sight for more than two minutes. What can I say? It’s Ali being Ali – adorable insanity hiding a dark and protective warrior. Don’t mess with her.
Hope you like it :)
I could have called it Ali's Other Side... but as the story is about all of us....
