"It's me!" She said shakily. Enitzaria!
"Don't sneak up on us like that!" Nectar scolded her. "You could've had yourself killed!"
"Abner? Are you okay?"
"'M not Abner. It's me, Nectarmegular."
"Nectar!" She hugged him tightly. "I was worried about you guys!"
Abby stirred and turned on her side. Nectar looked at Enitaria and put his finger to his lips. She nodded and they walked toward their small sleeping spot.
They sat down and held hands, facing each other.
"How did you find us?" Nectar asked.
Itzy shrugged. "I hacked into your- I mean, Abner's phone and used GPS to pinpoint your location. It was easy, actually." Nectarmegular nodded.
"Makes sense." He checked Abner's watch. It was 3:30 A.M already... He looked into Enitzaria's eyes and a silent conversation passed between the two.
He stood up and jogged back to the trees. Nectarmegular looked down at the sword. Was there a way to change it back to a machete? He thought one word: Change.
Miraculously, the sword changed back to a rusty, old machete. He smiled to himself. See? He was learning. Still. He began slicing small trees into small chunks of wood. He twirled and slashed so fast that he was a blur.
He was enjoying this, being able to practice fighting. He stopped, sweating. A ton of trees had been reduced to a hunkin' lot of wood. He began carrying the wood back to the spot next to the ocean where they slept.
There. That was enough. Nectarmegular pressed his hand to the limbs and concentrated. Fire light the branches.
"Agh!" Nectar shadowed his eyes. Slowly, they began to adjust to the light of the fire.
Itzy looked around and gasped as she saw Blizzard. She covered her mouth. "Nectarmegular... is that... Him?!"
"Yes," Nectar said calmly. "Abner didn't listen to me, but I tried to tell him that that Griffin was Him. Oh well. I guess he'll have to learn the hard way."
Itzy put her head on his chest and closed her eyes. He put his arm on her shoulder.
"I've missed you, Nectarmegular." She said drowsily.
Nectar rubbed her back. "I've missed you too, Enitzaria. Go to sleep now; there's no telling how long you've been without sleep."
She nodded and drifted off. He wouldn't wake Abner. He would be arrogant and get in the way of him and Itzy. He wouldn't allow it.
He closed his eyes and the world faded away...

CHAPTER 14
"Abner!" A girl's voice screamed shrilly. Nectar opened his eyes and found himself back in the office room. Crap.
I see you're awake! said Abner angrily. Thanks for not waking me up!
"You're very welcome" Nectar replied smoothly. He looked at the screen; Blizzard was squealing and rolling around. Wait- He was on fire!
Enitzaria was screaming bloody murder. "Put it out, Abner!" She screamed. "You can't kill him! He's VERY important!"
"I'm outta water!" Abner yelled in protest.
Enitzaria growled in frustration and snapped her fingers. Nectar nearly jumped ten feet in the air as a water hose appeared out of nowhere. He forgot- One of Itzy's powers was the ability to summon things.
She sprayed Blizzard to death with that thing. A few seconds later, there were no more burns left to tell that it had happened.
Enitzaria looked accusingly at Abner. "You disgust me." She said and looked away.
"Why did you do that?!" Nectarmegular yelled at Abner.
I didn't do it! He yelled in response. I just woke up and he was on fire! The powers must've activated without my permission!
"Permission my butt!" Nectar growled. "If you can't control it, I'm not gonna let you use my powers!"
