 Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!
Working together with Cossy and Cassie the age line soon gave off a loud popping noise declaring that they had breached a hole. It was the only way to let the student's pass through with them. Silently lightening his wand Leo's eyes fell to the ground as Cole pointed out the fresh venom trail. At least they were going in the right direction which was even more clear when Cassie announced that the acromantulas were in the middle of the forest. He was confident that with the aid of his girlfriend's gift of sensing creatures and the venom trail to follow, they'd find the missing students and Annie in no time.
With Cassie and Cole taking the lead Leo stayed close to Yoongi and Adi as they went deeper into the forest. Lightening his way with his wand he kept vigilant. There were webs hanging in the trees above their heads bulging with lifeless creatures. Leo didn't want to look up and see what poor, dead creatures the spiders had feasted on. If he did he might lose his nerve.
Walking in the middle of their little group as they headed deeper inside the forest he started to notice that the webs they were walking past were getting bigger and thicker. "Keep your eyes and ears peeled everyone, the webs are getting significantly bigger and thicker so we must be getting closer." Was that the eyes of a lifeless unicorn that he saw between the branches? Visibly shuddering Leo turned his eyes away from the unfortunate animal and used his wand to slash at the thick webs to his right for a way vent his emotions.
Repeated slashing at said webs revealed a clearing and large webs hanging from the trees where the heads of some young students and the unmistakeable red head of their Headmistress were visibly sticking out of the webs. Leo had to blink several times to believe what he was seeing before he couldn't help exclaiming as he gestured wildly to the clearing for everyone to see. "I see the hostages! They are alive! All of them are alive!" Maybe he blew their cover and alerted the spiders, but he was just so happy and relieved that nobody was dead.
