LEELI’S POV

Leeli raised her whistleharp to her lips and played Call of the Moonraiders. The melody swirled around the hall, and the owls shrieked, and fell back. Leeli got the impression that if they could cover their ears, they would gladly do so. Ahsoka had reached one of the strange men she had come back with, and given Amberley to him. The young girl was limp, and hung over his  shoulder. Ahsoka rushed back into battle, whirling her lightsabers faster than the eye could blink. Emberyn had seized one of the swords on the wall, and swung it fiercely, angry that the witch lady had hurt his sister. Janner and Kalmar had teamed up, and were back-to-back, swinging their swords at every owl in sight. Hagrid was swinging his massive fists, and Fang barked and growled. Leeli also noticed that her song effected Macha. She tried to point some of her jars at Leeli, but one of the wizards’ spells always got in her way. Then she was gone, and her voice faded from the hall. Emberyn had rushed to the man who held his sister and took her from him, leaning against the wall so he could hold her weight. Janner and Kalmar had hugged Leeli so tightly that she thought her ribs would shatter. Nobody had died, thankfully, but some were wounded, either from the owls, or Macha’s jars.

EMBERYN’S POV

When I took Amberley from the man-no, clone as I had heard from someone during the battle, my fear doubled in size. Am was cold and pale, and she didn’t even stir when I took her. I looked around, slain owls lay on the floor, and several people were unconscious.

Someone found a large, communal room, with several doors to bedrooms and a small passage leading to another room of the same kind. We debated, and decided that one of the communal rooms, Communal B, would be used for the injured, while the other, Communal A, would be for the rest of us. We also decided that these rooms, with the only door out into the hallway in Communal A, would be our headquarters, in case Macha came back. Several clones had been sent to retrieve food from the kitchen. I carried Amberley to Communal B, and one of the clones took her to a cot. I followed him, but he told me to go back if I wasn’t injured. “We’ll call you when she is settled.” He said, not unkindly, and I headed back to Communal A. I looked around, and spotted Janner and Leeli, talking to a boy, who must be their brother. I headed over there, trying not to step on the feet of people who were trying to sort others into rooms. Janner saw me, and called out, “Emberyn! Amberley alright?” I reached them and said “Yeah, but they forced me out.” Janner raised an eyebrow, then turned to his brother. “Emberyn, this is my brother, Kalmar. Kalmar, this is Emberyn…” “Fletcher,” I said extending my hand. “Emberyn Fletcher.”
