*Luke's P.O.V.*
"Are we there yet?"
"Gosh dang it, Lucas Nicoletti! If you ask that one more time, I'll personally leave you in these woods to rot!"
I shut up at that point.
Besides, I didn't want to be left alone in these woods. The trees were centuries old, slippery moss was everywhere and I swear, if any more noises echoed in here, I'd run all the way back to the Annex's Back Door!
But it wasn't too bad....
...... I guess.....
At least Griff was here, balancing on my shoulder and keeping watch. It felt nice to have a weight on my shoulder. Dang, I should have brought my parrot, Hook.
Or a snack.....
Cassandra handed me a granola bar and asked, as I unwrapped the gift from God, "So, how is your parents pizza parlor?" Once I swallowed the food in my mouth, (Mom would be proud), I replied, "It's going good. My sister is old enough to help around the kitchen; however, my parents, brothers, sisters and I make sure she doesn't get close to the ovens."
Cassandra nodded.
We fell silent.
"So.... how does it feel?" Cassandra asked, playing with her bags strap, "Being..." "Different? A freak?" I shrugged and grumbled, "Dad still doesn't know why I have to stay away from the oven. Boy, the oven is becoming a issue, lately! My brother, my sister and now I can't go near it----------"
BAM!!!!
"AUGH!!!!!!!"
I fell to the forest floor, grabbing at my leg! The Librarians ran over as Eve asked, "Luke! Are you ---"
Creak!
BAM!
I pried my foot out of the bear trap, grumbling as I rubbed the clay back into place. Standing up with Ezekiel's help, I yelled at no one in particular, "THAT WAS NOT VERY NICE, YA KNOW!!! NOT COOL, MAN; NOT COOL!!!"
"Are you done?" Jenkins asked.
I breathed in.
I breathed out.
"Yes."
Ezekiel joked, as we began to walk again, (I leaning on his shoulder), "Hey, at least it was you and not me, Mate." Yeah, I guess....
That's when I noticed it. Griff seemed.... off. He kept glancing over our shoulder, then nipping at my ear, (which caused my skin to peel off my clay) then looked over our shoulder again. At first, I thought the creepiness of the forest was getting to him; that was until I saw the shadow....
"GET DOWN!!! NOW!!!"
I leaped onto Ezekiel, knocking him to the ground as a sword zoomed above us! As the others dropped to the ground, I realized that if Ezekiel had stayed where he was, he......
"So this is what you guys do for a living, huh?" I started to hyperventilate, once we had gathered behind a huge Boulder, "Creep around a creepy forests in a creepy part of England while being attacked by a creepy ninja assassin!"
"Dude, calm down...."
"I can't!"
Flynn started to look over the boulder, until Eve pulled him back down and said, "No, let me." Creeping to the edge of the boulder, gun in hand, Eve carefully peered around the corner....
CLINK!
Stone and Flynn pulled Eve back as a sword sliced where Eve's head had been! A weird guy leaped off the boulder and into the nearby trees, laughing insanely!
Ezekiel stating, "Aaaaaaannnnnnnddddddd we're stuck. Great." Flynn turned to me and said, "Luke...." "I already checked to see if there is clay in the ground," I revealed, remembering that I checked at the beginning of the hike, "Natta."
"The guy is up in the trees..."
"Skull guy?" I verified.
Colonel Baird nodded.
"A faun," Flynn recalled the guys hoof like feet and extremely hairy legs, "A half human, half goat mythical creature that either hindered or helped humans..."
"O, great, even better." Ezekiel complained, sitting down.
That's when I got an idea......
"Hey, guys......"
"How do you suggest we attack this guy?" Eve asked Jenkins and Clyde, to which Flynn cut in, saying, "No, no, no, no! We should sneak around him!" "How about we send Luke out as bait while we slip away." Jacob joked, to which Cassandra socked his arm.
"Guys!"
Finally!
I got there attentions.
"I think I have an idea!"
****5 minutes later****
The Tattoo Faun guy, (Bulldog I believe he calls himself), followed the Librarians trail, leaping from boulder to boulder.
Something made him stop in his tracks.
Dangling from a trees low branch, was a bag that Cassandra Cillian owned. Cautiously, ready for a ambush of any kind, Bulldog leaped from a boulder to the ground and carefully reached for the bag....
From the bag, I came forth!
Clay upon clay surrounded Bulldog, while the evil faun failed to jump over my form. I squeezed around him, trapping him inside me... That was weird... Only his head poked out from the mound of clay.
Near the edge of the clay, I reformed my body, piece by piece. A leg here, a eye there; within minutes I was back to my human form... well, a muscular clay form of my body, at least.
The Librarians came out as Clyde breathed, "Your a ----"
"Please, don't." I freakishly stated. Yep, I was near a panic attack... again.
Clyde fell silent.
Passing everyone, I called behind towards the stunned Librarians, "Come on! We have a friend to save."
And I have a bag to replace once this mission is over....

Hi, humans!
Now it's time to play 'Guess the mythical creature'!
What creature from Mythology do you think Luke is? And no, he is NOT a dragon! *Glares at Rita, who simply shrugs and continues writing down her story.*
As always, thanks for reading! 😃
