139 Pauls Plan (1/2)

”Ohh my God, Paul?!” I answered recognizing his voice….. like a beacon of hope I felt like there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel.

”Yeah!.... where are you?.... you and your friends weren't with the returning group...” He asked sounding extremely worried.

”I don't have time to explain!!! We need your help!” I said in a panicked tone

”What's going on?..” He panicked hearing my voice.

”There's people here they need help....” I begged him.

”Quickly explain to me the situation.” He instantly replied.

”There's lots of injured refugee's here.... They won't make it to the city.” I explained.

”Okay.... I'm coming... This is very important.... I need you to or make an empty space around a meter in diameter and send me a signal.” He urgently replied sounding more and more panicked.

”Okay okay....” Instantly replied scanning the surrounding area... ”I see one... I'm running to it now.” I relayed to him.

”Just stay calm.... I'm here with you.” He replied speaking softly trying to reassure me.

”Okay!!! I'm here..... I'm sending the signal now!” I told him speaking as quickly as I could.

”Stay there!!! I'm coming!!! And cover your ears.” He replied as if in a rush.

I waited for a what felt like an eternity staring towards the city eagerly waiting for him, suddenly in the distance a small bolt of lightning flashed, then instantly another a little closer, then another and another in quick succession till one finally stuck the floor nearby, the lightning flash forcing me to shield my eyes.

”Emila what are you doing so far out!” Paul's void yelled out to me.

”Paul!!!” I shouted back opening my eyes to see Paul in his usual clothing with a set of heavily armoured guards.

”Are you okay?..” He asked me grasping my face gently looking into my eyes.

”Yes I'm okay.....” I smiled trying to hold back my tears of joy.

”Okay..... Let's go.” He said grabbing my hand.

”We need to save everyone...” I quietly requested.

”......” He paused in silence for a few seconds, ”Okay okay..... Tell me what's going on.” He requested.

”We were attack by these panthers... and I stayed to help who I could... but they won't make it.” I explained.

”Make it?..” he questioned.

”Yes there's over a hundred of Dark Elves approaching.” I informed him the guards quickly stepped into action surrounding us weapons drawn, but one girl with long black hair wearing normal clothing with red leather finger less gloves stood still listening.

”Jesus that must be a bloody full invasion.....” He muttered appearing to think, ”Fucking I did not bring the right people with me.....” He cursed himself.

”Emilia we have no time to lose!!!!..... Once you get back to the city you need to find the Deputy Head mistress.... tell her it's a full scale invasion, they need evacuate the front of the city back to the middle district and you need to find Jila.... and tell her to pair with Emergency teleporter six in a large empty area in the middle district.... Six remember!! It's very important.” He quickly explained to me looking extremely stressed and worried, ”Yuna!!!” He turned around to speak to the girl.

”Yes sir!” She saluted him.

”Take Emilia and get to the Deputy Head Mistress.... I don't know how long you have..... I'll try and hold off the main invasion force as long as I can.” He explained to her.

”But sir.... I need to protect you...” She insisted.

”I'll be okay... The guards here will be sufficient enough.” He explained.

”I don't want to leave you..” I instinctively replied hearing he's going to remain behind.

”We don't have time to argue..... You need to leave now!” He ordered.

”I'm not going...” I replied firmly.

”You need to go!!! It's not safe here..... And I don't know how long I can hold my barrier... Remember Six!!!.... everyone's lives here depends on the teleporter pairing.” He explained looking into my eyes completely serious.

I nodded firmly reluctantly agreeing... ”Come back alive okay?” I requested sincerely.

”I'll try...” he smiled happy I changed my mind.

”Promise?..” I asked.
