Over the last week, I've tried a hundred different ideas to get Ava out of her situation. And then I tried a hundred more. None of them will work.
We've been meeting at her house every night to discuss the plans. And as the date of the wedding quickly approaches we are running out of time. We are running out of plans.
The coven roared with applause at the announcement, but I could tell they knew about it all along.Veronica and my mam looked beyond pleased. It was probably them who arranged this in the first place.Naomi turned to me in shock. But she also looked like she is in pain.

Naomi looks at me in fear and confusion.Gareth and Ava looked between us. Their eyebrows bent in confusion causing wrinkles to appear on their foreheads.A familiar shriek of a falcon echoed outside and Lily flew inside landing on Naomi's shoulder.

Twenty-four hours, fifty minutes, and fifteen seconds until the wedding. Until we are finally free.This time tomorrow we will be on the road towards the docks. We'll hop on a boat and leave the county. By the time everyone realizes we're missing, we will be long gone.Over the last two days, Naomi and I have been gathering spells to help us stay hidden once we leave.
Three hoursTen minutesSix secondsUntil I'll be standing at an altar beside Naomi, or at least that's what my mam and everyone else thinks." Hurry up we have to get to the temple and get you to your dressing room!" My mam yelled banging at my door.
Using a cloaking spell I like mouse quality opened the door and creeped out.Thankfully nobody was in the hallway, they wouldn't believe the visit that used to roam was back. Lizzie made sure to get rid of it a long time ago, especially after it tried to take Naomi and I." Come on Halin."
As we neared the forest I spotted Naomi and Gareth bolting through the trees towards the cave.I chirped as loud as I could to try and get their attention. Even though Naomi nor Gareth didn't hear me Lily certainly did. She squawked, and instantly Naomi looked up in our direction.Tapping Ava's wing with mine I nodded towards Naomi and Gareth. She nodded and we dive-bombed towards them, swiftly landing on Gareth's shoulders.
