"Shut up!" Lucy exclaimed, excitedly.

"We thought of this plan when you were unconscious," I told her. "We are going to teleport all the giants to a trapdoor. The hexens had constructed it so that if a human passes the doors, he/she will get trapped."

Lucy didn't look pleased with the plan. "You said the hexens first created the giants to live on Earth. They have to be nearly the human population. I'd seen Olivia doing fortelision. She was too drained. If she does use it to move those large giants and so many of them, she might die."

Olivia stiffened listening to her. "Let's think of something else." She concluded.

"So what should we do now?" I asked. "This ship will reach Antarctica in two days. We've gotta come up with something."

We all got lost in our thoughts when I heard the door close. Who had gotten out? I looked around and found Nexiana was not there. No one had noticed her sneaking out.

I made an excuse and followed her out. I hid behind a pillar when she turned around. She was going to get something out of her pocket but Lucy called out my name.

"Liza, whatcha doing there?"

Nexiana stumbled, dropping something. It was Olivia's hertillision pearl.

"Don't tell anyone," Nexiana whispered to us. She was the spy in the message. That's why she sneezed- to turn the giant's attention to everyone else and reveal Olivia and Oliver. I cursed myself for not noticing it before.

I shook my head. "Then I have to do it." Nexiana said as she swished her hand in a circular motion like 'Swish and Flick' in Harry Potter. I fell to the ground, Lucy by my side before everything turned black.

I woke up the next morning, my back hurting. I felt like something wasn't right. Something missing...I shook that feeling away. It was nothing to waste my time on. I grabbed my bag, just to be pushed back because of the sudden jerk of the ship. I tried to get back up when it happened again. I got a glimpse outside to see a whirlpool forming a few meters away.

I didn't know how to get out the door if the ship kept jerking!
