A/N: I AM SO SORRY I HAD WRITER'S BLOCK FOR THE LONGEST TIME ANYWAYS HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER!
The icicles sped towards us. Arya and I held our hands up as a shield, expecting the worst.
But nothing happened.
I peeked through my hands and saw that the icicles had stopped and were just hovering in the air. When I lowered them slowly, I saw that they were a shade of... blue.
I almost jumped out of my skin. What had happened to me?
The icicles were pointing - not exactly pointing, though - at me. Almost as if they were waiting for me.. to give them a command.
I wasn't sure what was happening, but I gave it a shot. I willed my energy to send the icicles towards the MedusaHeadedSnakeDog.
They shot like a rocket towards the monster. It had worked!
Soooooo.....
I guess I could control ice, too.
The MedusaHeadedSnakeDog looked shocked (if that was even possible).
I smirked, trying to seem as confident as possible and I guessed Arya caught on, because she looked like she was about to take control of the world. And then, the unexpected happened.
..................
"THE MEDUSASNAKETHINGAMABOB IS SCARY AND IT WANTS US TO DIE, NOT A PLAANNNN TO BEE SEEEEEEEEENN.. DOLORES AIN'T WIIIITTTTH USSSS, JUST ASTRA, ME AND A HUNTRESSS!!!"
Holy crap, was that from Frozen???
Arya continued, "THE THING IS HOWLING CAUSE IT'S HURT AND YEAH IT'S HURRRRRTTTTTT!!! COULDN'T KEEP IT IN, YEAH I WANNA SIIIIIIIIINNNNGGG! GOTTA GET INTO DEEEELLLPHI, TIME TO FIGHT AND ASTRA HELP ME! WE MIGHT BEAT IT IN TIME TO BLOW UPPPPPPPP!! TIME TO BLOW UUUPPPPPPPP!!!!
I caught on to her plan and sang along with her.
"ICICLESSSSS!!!! ICICLESSSS!!!!! I REALLY LIIKEEE THEEEEEEMMMM! ICICLESSSSS! ICICLEESSSS! PLEASE DO WHAT WE ARE SAYIIIIINNNNGGGGGG!! YOU SHOULD CAREEEEEEE! BECAUSE YOUR MISTRESS MIGHT DIEEEEEEEEEE!! LET ICICLES GET KNOOOOOOOWWWWWWNNNNNNN!!!!!!" I hit the high note really high. I didn't even know I could sing like that.
"The world is amazing with theemmm." Arya ended quieter.
We looked up and the icicles floated still for a moment. So did the MedusaHeadedSnakeDog. I guess it didn't know what to think about our sudden spontaneous parody of Let it Go.
The icicles spun towards the MedusaHeadedSnakeThing and beat it up. I stopped them after a bit so it wouldn't get too violent, since we needed that MedusaHeadedSnakeThing to free Amara.
I ordered the MedusaHeadedSnakeThing to unfreeze Amara. It whimpered and sucked up a lot of air, taking a deep breath. Arya and I turned to Amara and the colour slowly came back to her face. We went over to her.
"How-?" Amara was so confused.
Arya grabbed her arm. "We'll fill you in later."
She seemed alright now so I scouted around and we just GOT OUTTA THERE AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
Guess what we ran into?
ANOTHER SLIDE.
Great. Just great.
We all slid down, screaming loudly, probably due to the spiders crawling on the ceiling. I had arachnophobia (fear of spiders, duh) so naturally, I screamed the loudest.
When we finally landed in a brightly lit forest, we saw Dolores sitting near a river, waiting.
Arya yelled to her, "Dolores! Hey!" Dolores smiled at us. It all seemed fine, but Arya had this weird look on her face, like she thought something wasn't right. Anyways, we all went to her and told her our story, then she narrated hers to us, which was apparently sliding into this forest, setting up camp and waiting for us.
How did she know we were coming? a voice said in my head.
Yeah, that's weird. I thought.
Who are you? the other voice asked. I was startled, realising that the voice wasn't mine.
More importantly, who are YOU?? I fired back.
I asked FIRST! the other voice said.
Fine, but you gotta tell me right after, I said to the other person in my head.
Fine. the voice answered.
I then introduced myself, and said, I am Astra, daughter of Poseidon. Arya gasped right next to me.
Well, I'm Arya, aka the girl RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, the voice/now Arya said telepathically.
We looked at each other, our sudden thoughts not being noticed by Dolores, who was listening intently to Amara telling her side of the story animatedly.
Woah, we have telepathy! Cool! I thought.
Arya said something including the word telepathied, which I didn't know existed. Was it even a real word?
Hey, I invented a new word! I'm a poet! Arya mind-exclaimed.
Yeah, I guess. I mind-spoke.
"Guys, let's go to sleep. It's getting late." Dolores said. All of us crawled into the tent and promptly fell asleep.
I had some disturbing dreams about continuously being swept into vortexes from one place to another. The first place was in my house, but before I could reach it, I was pulled into another hole to another place. I was at the bottom of an ocean and I tried to breathe, but I couldn't. It kept going on like this until I sat up, gasping for air. My head hurt and I tried to understand what happened but it didn't make any sense.
I walked outside and sat at the base of a tree, contemplating what this weird dream meant.
