Sigmund was startled awake by the sounds of muffled screaming. He looked out of his hiding place. Yep, it was Lana. He waited until his brothers were out of sight. Then, he ran to where the dining room window was. There was no one inside. Then, he ran to the girl's room.

Lucy was walking on a bright landscape. It looked like a Bob Ross painting. Pretty trees in the distance, small streams going into giant waterfalls. Tiny deer and... Sea monsters?! What was Sigmund doing here? This was no place for a sea monster.

"Lucy, wake up!" Sigmund said.

"This is the best dream of my life, don't wake me up." Lucy mumbled in her sleep.

"Lucy, your best friend's in mortal danger!" Sigmund yelled at the top of his lungs.

Lucy startled awake.

"Lana! What did you do with her you maniac?!" Lucy yelled while shaking Sigmund.

"I didn't do anything! We have to go save her, remember?" Sigmund said.

Lucy started to run out the door. Then she remembered, she didn't know where she was going.

"Sigmund, come on! Show me where the heck she is!"

After a quick jog to the beach, they got to a small cave. Sigmund showed the way through the dark corridors. Everything was wet from the tide. They were sea monsters after all. All of sudden, they heard weeping from behind a wall.

"That ain't Sigmund in there!" a voice said behind another wall.

"Lana, are you in there?" Lucy said, throwing logic to the wind.

"Who's that?" A mean voice said.

"Don't care, let's go clobber them!"

"Lana, we're gonna get you out of there! Just hold on! How do we get her out of there, Sigmund?"

"We could barge through the wall."

"Would that even work?"

"The wall's pretty thin so..."

"Guys, hurry up! They're coming!"

"Okay, Lana, go to the other side of the room."

"Alright, I'm here, hurry up!"

"Okay, we're gonna count down!"

"We don't have time for that!"

"Alright, go!"

The wall crumbled under the weight of Lucy and Sigmund. Two walls crumbled under the weight. The second one was the one that contained three sea monsters. All six of them stared at each other. Seconds passed by like hours. Finally, someone spoke up.

"Grab Sigmund you idiots!"

"Run!"

Chaos filled the room. There was a lot of shouting and running. There was so much of that, that I, the author, will not even attempt to explain it. I will tell the end of it though. The main three are outside the cave catching their breath, while the other three were wandering the twisting tunnels of the caves.

"We have to move. They know where we live! We're goners if we stay there." Lucy said.

"I know what we can do."

"What is it?" Sigmund asked.

"We only have twelve days left here, if we can sneak you on the train back, you'll never have to go back to your family!"

"But that's twelve days from now! Sigmund's family could try and take him back up to twelve times! Twelve times! Plus we have to hide him from my aunt! She's gonna get wise!"

"Yes, but do you have any better ideas?"

"We could leave him here."

"Lucy!"

"Sorry. You're right. There's nothing else we can do."

"Does that sound like a good idea, Sigmund?"

"Yes."
