Lee turned white when he heard Paul say acromantula. He started to shake, looking back at the noise.

He shifted involuntarily, and ran full speed back toward the castle, with his tail between his legs.

Merlin got to his feet and step in front of Tamsin. "I'm going to protect you!" Robe thrown in her face he shifted back to dragon form ready to combat whatever was coming their way, it sounded like all the creatures of the forest were heading their way. 'I'm scared' He thought but still didn't moved from position.

Arrow had his bow in hand ready but wish he had to kill no one. "We won't kill any creature, unless there is no choice- Tamsin has altered the peace of these woods and now must pay the price."

Tamsin was confused, why was there a dragon in there and then she remembered the scales. "MERLIN!" She managed to stand, wand in hand. "You should all flee."

"And let you blow up the entire forest? No way, I'm staying." Arrow had no intention of moving.

The noises were louder yet they couldn't see much than the greenery outside the cave and the tall trees that seem they could touch the sky. They were pretty much trapped without many options. "Shouldn't we run for it?" Said Tamsin."

"I don't think there is enough time, they are here."

After Paul's call to Merlin he roared and lowered his head, he had no idea how to carry a centaur, so he decided to grab his arms with his claws when he takes flight, but not until everyone was up and safe.

(OOC I think he might die carrying so many. lol He can't go too far.))

((oh look Nik, our favorite))

Drew's eyes widened and he called Dodger who came at once. Oh shit, why couldn't it be anything else?? the boy thought, fear surging through him. A basilisk would be oh so nice!

((OOC LOL dont worry, you have one big guy less to worry about lol ))

((OOc I am SO sorry, so so sorry LOL lee gone, he gone home LOL ))

Paul saw Lee dart off and couldn't blame him. Merlin took everyone off but Paul realised the problem fast. "Set us down as far as you can handle, Merlin," Paul said, "Don't push, we'll figure something out. Arrow call your family if you can! We need the centaurs."

Lottie blinks and started whipping her wand through the motions of spells and muttering. She didnt know how many there were and she thought this was the best to not destroy anything. She was good with these...

((what she is doing: Protego Maxima is a stronger version of the Shield Charm that, when cast in combination with Fianto Duri and Repello Inimicum, conjures up an almost impregnable magical protection barrier.))

EDIT: "Paul WHAT is coming??" she said a bit stronger after her shields were in place.

She wasnt sure Merlin could carry them all and now she was worried for Lee.

((LMAO I saw after I posted. I love it))

Drew scrambled onto Merlin again, dragging Dodger wih him this time and giving his friend a little pat. "Thank you, thank you SOOO much, Merls!!"

((YOU little coward! rofl But won't they get you on your way? You are on the ground, unlike us. Spiders can't fly.))

Merlin raised up with difficulty and searched for Lee from above. 'Where are you?' But seeing him with so many trees was hard for him. The weight was too much for him and he needed a safe place fast or they would all crash, couldn't someone see Lee and lift him up?

Arrow didn't liked being pulled to the air and was asking to be put back on the ground where he belong so as they moved away from the spiders, he put him down in a safe place, or so he hoped.

"I see Lee!" Tamsin yelled, "This way you fool!" Since he didn't listened she trun him into a balloon. "Look like this is your favorite traveling mode." They were now close to the place where the traps were first found and Merlin was worn out and breathing fast.

"Big ass spiders Lottie," Paul answered seeing her laying down charms and picking her up to jump on Merlin. "They are tough too. But no killing. Its not their fault we were in their home and smell so yummy." He had been adding some pockets of air to speed Merlin's flight. "Down there, Merlin" Paul pointed to a defend able area. Putting the girl down, he without warning apperated off the boy and went about setting out repelling, concealing, silencing, anti smell charms. And watched as Merlin set down right in the middle.

"Tamsin, this side, Arrow here. Defend perimeters." The circled all the students and waited home the creatures would walk past all those defensive spells.

((, Lee just ran out to get cat food...cuz he ran...so he will be a bit in replying))

To Paul

"Put me down I have to keep up the barrier!!!" she struggled as the auror had apparently grabbed her ((lol Raven!! IM NOT PORTABLE!!)) He obviously didnt let go and was still trying to defend against and "jumping" critters with him. "Get away from my friends YOU 8 LEGGED FREAKS!!!"

EDIT After the fiasco, Lottie followed in suit of Paul, rolling very ungracefully off Merlin and setting up her shield spell again. She wanted to yell but it was more important to deal with there safety first.

Tamsin was in position and wondered if they will be found now. "Do you think, they will find us? Did Merlin landing was too loud? I was too focus on getting Lee"

Arrow lift his brow and answers. "They will follow, even the tiniest spider in here will tell on us." He sighs. "Lets hope all your spells work"

"I hope so... unless anyone can call some thretrals we are kinda screwed. But I've put up lots of spells, hope its enough. Nice use of our spell for prisoners Tamsin," He said looking at the Lee balloon. He didn't complain with Lotties help either. Paul gave her a smile.

Drew shivered at the thought of what was coming. The very thing that terrified him more than heights. The thing he'd prayed he wouldn't meet when he'd seen the flyer for a workshop in the forbidden forest. This hadn't been worth it. "Think of the unicorns," he muttered to himself as he held onto his wand. "think of anything but...them." Dodger pressed against Drew's leg and gave a soft whine, feeling the boy's fear.

Looking over at Paul's comment about the thestrals, Drew asked, "How do you call them? Is it like calling a regular horse?" He knew all about that and had certain calls and signals for Fleet.

Charlotte was exhausted and feeling at a loss for what to do. The fairies would be to scared to come no matter how much she begged and then how would they get the thestrals here.

She did the only thing she could think up and raised her wand to the sky and sent up a "help flare spell" she hoped that the head mistress. or anyone would see it. She was trying not to cry. She just kept sending them up one right after another.

She wanted to be back in her hole in the tree.

((spell shes using: Periculum[1] was a charm that allowed the caster to send out red sparks from their wand. The sparks were firework-like in appearance,[1] and had a vast range, shooting up to a great height, then hovering in the spot where the caster aimed.[2] Much like a Muggle flare gun, the spell was used to signal that one was in danger, and thus in need of help.))

(OOC edited because I missed Fable's post!)

Merlin wish he could be stronger and bigger so they could just get out of there but wasn't even feeling like flying at the moment. 'This guys are too heavy' he thought. 'Should consider dieting or carrying less stuff.'

Arrow wanted to call on his people, but with all that happened he couldn't, now with the charms he shouldn't. "Can I get out of the charm protection without affecting it?"

"Yes, but don't leave now, if they are close they could guess where we are..and your prints are quite obvious."

Arrow nods but wish he was not in that mess. "You are chaos witch, real trouble."

When they saw Lottie's signal, they were somehow more worried- she gave their exact position away.

"Oh dear!" Said Tamsin. "We are in trouble"

Paul gently put his hand on Charlotte and said gently, "Please stop your flares. You're telling them where we are."

He Looked at Tamsin. "Friend has a house elf, but I can't call her....thoughts?"

Merlin shift back to boy form and forgot about his nakedness for a moment but still tried covering up with his hands. He panted and said. "I can go get the thestrals, I can carry up to two people, who's going to come?"

"You go Paul, I'll stay with the kids and Arrow."

She listened to Paul and stopped but she was starting to loose it. She didnt want people to see her cry. She was logically scared and running out of ideas. 'Why wasnt she stronger?' she thought...she tried to stay calm and breath.

EDIT: (sorry) She started to pull at her ear tufts again and wring her tail.

"If it's like a regular horse, I could talk to them, I think," Drew said quietly. He looked at the others, a bit uncertain how they would react.

Tamsin nods. "Take Drew, you know where they are right Merlin?"

Merlin smiled. "If they are still where they always are and haven't fly away because you scared them..yes I know exactly where they hang."

Tamsin felt bad, she really was too reckless. "I'm sorry..I screw up again and we still didn't get the clues in the cave, did we?"
