“Get out of here, kids! Now!” she shouted to the trio.
Diamond took to the air, her wings catching the bright light as Rose quickly hopped off Lala’s back. Using her tongue, she caught a banister and swung towards a rack of brooms.
Grabbing one, she began hitting the brown scaly claw repeatedly. Diamond swooped up and grabbed a catapult and bag of marbles.
She began firing them at the claw. Between that and the force of Rose’s strikes, the claw flinched. Lala began pummelling the claw with his back feet in rapid succession.
Unexpectedly, the claw snapped out and grabbed the young rabbit by the back legs.
“Aaargh!” he cried as he was dragged into the hole. Rose threw aside her broom. She used her super long tongue to grab Lala’s wrist, digging her heels into the wooden floor.
“Whelp ma!” she said, her tongue muffling her mouth.
“What?” chorused Lily and Diamond.
“Whelp ma!” she repeated.
“Did she hurt her mouth since we last met?” Lily asked Diamond.
“Maybe all that talking has finally taken its toll,” Diamond remarked.
“Aah. Have you noticed how sparkly my wings are in this light? They look awesome.”
A double cry from Lala and Rose snapped her attention back.
“Close the hole!”
It was then Diamond noticed that the light was only focused through the staff. The energy was coming from a tall old fashioned grandfather clock embedded in the wall behind them.
“I can’t break free from the vortex!” Lily cried.
With a yell, she shouted a spell slamming her hand into the air.
There was a sharp implosion and a great burst of wind, throwing them to the floor.
When Diamond and Lily looked up, the hole had closed. In its place was a spinning ball of green and blue lightning which quickly faded.
Rose and Lala were gone.
