All Chapters of Fighting Fate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rent, Dante and I made our way to the cubes with Ben in tow. We had separated from Bonolo. She had gone off to ensure her brother's safety, promising to meet up with us later. She said she would know where we are, and after seeing coming off of her palms I trusted her.It was late when we teleported back to the fairy den, and even later when Jhono showed us a way back to the top. Rent's two guards had set up camp by the opening of the hole and we all stumbled in, exhausted and dishevelled. **********************Pale sunlight painted the sky and I stepped quietly out of my tent, careful not to wake the others as I went into the open to stretch in the cool morning. I walked a little away from the camp and admired the forest in the distance, letting cold morning air blanket me."What the hell were you thinking."I spun around, "Ben! You're awake, I didn't think you would be on your feet until t

BEN'S POVWe'd been walking for hours. Carrie stayed at the back of the group, keeping her head down as she walked. Dante stayed in front of her, he too was lost in thought, and they didn't speak, much to my relief. Seeing them, laughing the way they did, The way he looked at her, it took everything in me not to rip out his throat as they came up from their swim. Carrie couldn't see it. She was infuriating. Blind, gorgeous and fucking infuriating. The sun was beginning to sink, and we were still walking uphill, near the rocky mountains. A nipping breeze blew against us every now and again, and I wondered if Carrie was cold. Her chocolate waves were blowing into light tangles across her face when the wind blew and I tried to see if she was shivering, but I was too far in front of her.We kept walking, only stopping when the stars sprung

CARRIE'S POV!we were still flying. It felt like I had been the air for hours. Ben and I had tried to fight the creatures but to no avail. There were just too many. They were tall creatures, with the long rubbery legs of chickens and gigantic dust grey and black wings. One of the creatures was currently holding onto my forearms as it flew over the mountains below us. Ben was being transported in the same sort of way a few meters behind while the rest of the creatures flew around me in a flock formation.Blood was dripping down my cheeks were one of the creatures had scratched me during the fight in the forest and my arms were beginning to hurt where the creature's claws wrapped around my skin. Finally, the gaping entrance of a cave showed itself in the distance. The cave was at the very top of a high, as in look down and you'll be sick high, as in fall and you'll die high cliff.

CARRIE'S POV"How did you even get up here?" I asked while Dante clicked the lock on my cell open."Would you believe me if I said buzz lightyear lent a hand?"I raised an eyebrow, "no."Dante sighed, "that would be cool though.""I rolled my eyes and tried to help pull at my lock from the inside. "Buzz Lightyear? How old are you six?""And a half." Replied Dante instantlyBen rolled his eyes, huffed and moved Dante over, taking the metal clip Dante had brought to pick the locks from him. Ben's hands, warm and strong, gently lifted mine off the lock.  He met my eyes and I stepped back dumbly, looking away. Ben picked my lock in seconds. "So, buzz lightyear aside, how the hell did you find us? And what's your escape plan?"Dante grinned and pulled two round pink powdery sweets

"We're going in circles.""No, we aren't.""Considering I'm seeing that stick for the sixth time now. I'd like to say, yes the fuck we are.""Oh, well maybe that's the stick that's been shoved up your,""Boys!" I yelled. Ben and Dante turned to me, they had been bickering for ages. My feet were aching and we weren't any closer to finding the stone cup. Rent stepped forward."Dante, if you don't know what you're doing my alpha is going to blow you up."Dante turned to Rent, his fists clenched."What do you want from me Rent? It's not like there's a handbook on how to be a fucking Valderian. I have no idea what I'm doing."The boys continued to bicker, Bonolo watched them, looking tired and I glanced about our surroundings.A heavy stone ledge rose to our left. The surface widened and narrowed unevenly, creating
