Switch

Chapter 8

"I think I'm good," Violet said.

It was two hours after the conversation with Trouble Time and Violet was free from her bed. She was a little weak in the legs, but other than that she was free. Aside from the wheelchair that Agent Smith made her sit in.

"It's for caution reasons," Agent Smith said. "You did collapse on the ramp and even you said your still feeling weak in the legs."

"But I don't want to."

"Do you want to faint and hit your head on the floor when nobody is looking?" Agent Smith asked sounding very much like her late Grandmother whenever Violet whined.

"No."

"Then go with it for now."

"I sense evil," Neddy said his eyes wide opened.

"Don't be ridiculous. Nothing can get into this base."

"And, let we we're just hacked into by two immortal six-year-olds," Agent One pointed out.

"What kind of evil?" Violet asked.

"I don't know. It's small and fast."

Violet heard a screech and as Agent Smith shined her touch through the hallway, she saw the shadow before she saw the evil. It moved liked a fat worm. A very large worm and it was coming right for the four of them.

"What is that?" Violet whispered.

"I don't know."

"Neddy, how do you not know? You can sense evil."

"Will, it's not my fault. I don't know what to call it."

The screeching got louder and the shadow got bigger. It got louder and louder before it came closer and closer. Then there was silence. Violet and the other three Agents looked down to see a small tiny bug.

At least she thought it was bug.

It was no bigger than her hand purple in colour aside from glowing green dots around its body. It had no legs, nor arms and it didn't seem to even had a mouth and when her eyes glanced between the creature and the shadow. She noticed the shadow was bigger than the creature.

"This is where we run," Agent One said.

"What? Why? It's a bug," Violet pointed out.

Before Agent One could point out that the bug was no normal bug. And, why the bug was seen as evil. The bug flung itself at Violet aiming for her neck with speed that she couldn't keep up because the next thing she knew her hands held the strange small bug.

"Argh," both her and Neddy screamed.

The sound of a gun went off and green blood dropped on her lap.

"Argh," both her and Neddy screamed once more.

The bullet came from Agent Smith gun.

"I could go deaf with how close you shot that thing."

"Is your ear ringing?" she asked.

Will, no her ear wasn't ringing surprising.

"No."

"Then what's your issue?"

Violet sulked in her wheelchair as she was unable to find any useful words.

"We need to get out of here the lights are out and since some of the doors are audio lock. We will need to find another method out of here." Agent Smith ordered.

"Does this place have a fire existed?" Neddy asked his eyes closed once more.

"What about the green stuff on my lap?"

"You can buy a change of clothes later."

Agent Smith took her chair and wheeled it down the hall with Agent One and Neddy following soon after. For an old woman she can still run fast and her high heels didn't stop her either.

"Can we slow down?" Violet asked. Feeling like she was on a ride at the showground.

She was getting cold air in her eyes and her mouth won't close no matter how hard she tried due to the damn speed.

Agent Smith either didn't hear her or didn't care because the old woman most certainly did not slow down. She took a left instead the sound of the wheels made a high pitch squeak as it scratched the floor.

They came to a stop. The fire door was in the distance, but in front of the fire door had been the strange creature that had attacked Violet earlier. Only now, there was seven of them and they we're all growling like upset dogs.

"What are they?" Neddy asked his eyes opened.

"Mind worms," Agent Smith asked pointing her gun at the creature.

Oh, no Violet thought. She was not going to be standing so close to a gun going off again. She got lucky last time she might not get lucky a second time.

"Switch."

The room went still the colour faded, but while everyone paused the creatures didn't.

One of the seven creature flung itself at Violet, but it wasn't Violet who stopped it. A zap of green light hit the creature causing it to splat in a pool of green oozed.

Violet blinked a few times her eyes trying to adjust on what she was seeing. Whatever it was, had been small like her hand. Dressed in a green dressed that looked as if it was made out of leaves. It had thing light blue wrings and blonde hair. She wore orange shoes and held a small wooden twig in her arm.

Whatever the creature was zapped away at the seven creatures turning them to green ooze.

"What are you?" Violet asked.

"People call me a fairy," the fairy said.

"I thought only those with anywhere can see you."

"They can, but sometimes we make ourselves appeared during challenging times," the fairy said.

"And, right now is a challenging time?"

"Yep. But first you must un-switch this once. If the world stays switch it might stay that way forever. The world has already been paused and there's no telling what else can happened. Mind worms are now taken care of and the fire door will soon open. So, un-switch. Un-switch now," the fairy said in a panic voiced.

Nodding her heard Violet said the key word and the black and blue colours faded away. The fairy was gone, but true to her words the fire door opened on its own as it was magic.

"That's a friend of mind," Agent One said. "She's convinced that we need to get out of here. Magic Force bases aren't a safe place to hide anymore."

"But where do we go?" Agent Smith said.

"I know a place," Neddy said. "But be warned there's no internet connection."

"Internet connection is how the twins will find us. So, let's roll," Agent Smith said.

Violet silently cried after all she liked the internet.
