Sabrina Prez and Aiden Fisher: The Song of Sun and River

Chapter Five: Problems

 "How did you know that would work?" Sabrina asked. "I didn't. I know she's after you and Ian, Sabrina. So if we keep on these disguises, then we might be alright. We'll have to find a disguise for Aiden, Ian, and Mr. Marc though," Anya said. "Alright... So what are we going to do for my disguise? I mean, I'm albino. I stick out," Ian said. "It's actually simple. We cross-dress you. Meaning you have to dress female. We'll put makeup on you, and all that," Anya said, looking around in the wagon.

They continued on, with Anya looking for something to use as makeup, with her long, brown goddess-like hair getting in her face. She got annoyed, and Sabrina could tell, so she grabbed a ribbon and put Anya's hair up the way it was before. Anya ended up not finding anything for makeup. So they had to use a natural remedy.

Eloi stopped the wagon, and Anya and Ian got out and looked for things to use as a natural remedy for makeup. That's when Mrs. Perez showed up.

"I-Iaann! Is that... Is that you?!" she said creepily. Ian was mostly covered up with a blanket but still had the same clothes on. Ian thought quickly, so he made his voice more feminine and said, "I-I'm sorry, who's Ian?" "Oh... Never mind... My son is albino just like you, which makes him more fragile," she said. "Actually, being albino doesn't have any effect on your physical health. It just makes you more vulnerable to get a sunburn," Ian said. "That's not true with my son. He gets hurt so much! And it's a witch's fault..." she said. "Oh dear... You must find the witch then! Do you know their name?" Ian asked. "Yes. It's Sabrina. His adopted sister," She said. "I knew I shouldn't have accepted her in my home..."

Ian sighed. "Maybe your son is just clumsy? You'd be surprised at how much it happens," Anya said. "I NEED to find my son before he gets seriously injured," Mrs. Perez said. "Look, ma'am, we don't know where your son is, what he looks like, nothing. We know nothing about him, other than his name. So you need to get the hell away from us. We're trying to get some plants for makeup. Leave us ALONE," Anya said, frustrated.

Mrs. Perez soon left, and Anya let out a sigh of relief. Ian found some plants that are safe to use for makeup, and Anya used the grinder to make the makeup. Once the makeup was created, she applied it to Ian's face. Then Ian had to put on an extra dress found in the wagon. At first, Ian didn't like it, but he soon got used to it after some time.

It got dark pretty quickly, so they decided to check their surroundings and then have someone keep watch. They were near a river. It would be easy for Sabrina to protect them if something were to attack them. Eloi took the first shift. Ian would be taking the next, then Anya, then Aiden, then Sabrina.

They used a pocketwatch someone threw in to keep track of time. During Eloi's shift, nothing was happening. And the same was with Ian's, Anya's, and Aiden's shifts. Then once Aiden woke up Sabrina, Mrs. Perez came out of nowhere and recognized Aiden and Sabrina.

"Ssaa... Sabrina! I finally found you, you little stupid witch!" She said creepily. Aiden immediately woke up the others. "Wha... What's goin' on?" Eloi asked, half-asleep. "Mrs. Perez is here. She found out. We need to go now," Aiden said. Eloi jumped into action immediately and woke up the horses and they went on. Sabrina took out her flute and started playing the song. The river did what Sabrina wanted it to. It created a moving wall between the group and Mrs. Perez. Once they were out of the forest, Sabrina flung the water at Mrs. Perez, slowing her down to a complete stop. They ended up getting far away from Mrs. Perez and closer to Mt. Olympia.

I had hoped they would get to Mt. Olympia before snowfall. It was autumn, after all. The road was rather bumpy, but they made it to smoother terrain just fine. It wasn't soon until Michael caught up to them.

When Michael caught up to them, he gave them a spook, but Sabrina, Ian, and Aiden recognized him.

"Hey, Michael!" Sabrina said. "Hey, Sabrina. Where's William? I thought he would be with you?" He asked. "He's in the kingdom we were just in. Anya and Eloi's kingdom, to be honest," Ian said. "Why?" Michael asked. "He used too much energy trying to get us to safety from our own village," Aiden said. "Damn... That seems like something he would do. Always trying to help people..." Michael said. "Is that a bad thing?" Anya asked. "No, but it's how the previous God of Creation and Destruction passed," Michael said.
