Fated to Evil

Chapter 15- New enemy

"The impact knocked out the stabilizer." Tecna informed the Specialists, while Timmy tried to fix the aircraft.

"And whoever did that must have dealt with the handcuffs too." Musa added.

"It's a psychic lock. To be able to open it, you need mental powers." Tecna said.

And who on Magix do we know that has mental powers? Seriously, these people can really be ignorant sometimes.

"Hey, girls, check this out." Bloom called making everyone look at her. The redhead fairy was pointing to the ground where big footprints were going deep into the Swamp. "The troll's footprints. Notice anything?"

"Oh, yeah." Stella said. "That guy's got feet the size of an ocean liner."

"Huge feet that leave no prints." Musa pointed out. "See, they become less and less visible and then they totally disappear."

"But, the ground's still soft." Flora said stepping on the mud on the floor to make a foot print. "How do you explain that?"

"My guess is on, he's flying." Ruby said like she was stating out the obvious.

"Yes but, Trolls can't fly nor cast a flying spell." Tecna which made Ruby look at her like she's an idiot.

"The person who helped him escape is also making him fly."

I mean, aren't you supposed to be the clever one in this group?

"Let's tread carefully. Who knows what's in this swamp. Come on girls." Bloom said entering the swamp followed by the other five.

"Finding a Troll in a Swamp has turned out to be harder than I thought." Tecna commented.

"He could be absolutely anywhere." Flora added.

"Silence is eerie. The swamps absorb every sound." Musa complained.

"It's a good thing the silence helps us focus." Bloom said finding the positive point in their quest like she always does.

"So, we can listen to the voice of Nature." Flora said happily making Ruby roll her eyes.

"Not that again, I don't hear anything." Tecna said annoyed. The other girls, except for Ruby, looked around trying to hear Nature.

"So, did Mother Nature suggest anything to you, you Weirdos?" Ruby asked making Bloom chuckle.

"We're the Weirdos here?"

Ruby stuck out her tongue to Bloom making her laugh.

"Let's try over there." The oldest redhead said, pointing into the middle of the trees.

"Why? What's there?" Stella asked frightened.

"I'm not keen on going myself but, I really feel that it's the right way." Bloom said.

"Yeah, I feel it too." Flora agreed. "It is the right path."

"Yes. Yes, you guys are the Weirdos here."

"Come on, this way." Bloom said and the five girls followed her.

"I just hope we don't regret this." Tecna said.

"Oh, we will." Ruby told her making her laugh slightly.

"You sure are positive." Ruby shrugged.

"I do my best."

Tecna laughed slightly once again.

"Don't make any noise. I recognize these plants" Flora said, after a while of walking pointing to a bunch of plants that looked kind of dangerous. "They're quiet as carnivorous, they hate noise."
