Ack!! Hearing Cassie, she frowned..."I'm...managing...."

Something had flashed by her cheek...and the bursts of pain had began. Not to mention, something warm was running down her cheek...Reaching a hand up, she pulled back to see...red? BLOOD?!

They were scratching her?!

...It stung...Her eyes watered slightly, but she didn't have time to think on it. Marilyn turned on the next toadstool, about to retrieve the cap from that one, as well. Before she knew it, something was pulling her back. Three pixies had her hair and were yanking.

Wow, they were...strong...Taking her wand, she began swinging it wildly over her head, trying to knock the devilish little creatures off balance. Getting angry, Marilyn accidently let a spell fly...

Oops...

"Um....Sorry about that..." She yelled behind her. Finally ridding her hair of two pixies, she rushed forward, working quickly to cut the second cap. One of the creatures was still tangled within her blonde curls...and he was gouging her scalp viciously...Tears were gathering in the corners of her eyes.

"Are they attacking you, too? I'm going to have SCARS everywhere..." Cassie was probably dealing with her own batch...If Marilyn could finish up here, she'd go help her out...

With two down, there was just one more left...
