3 Silver Stones

Chapter 2-A new day

We wake up and start preparing to go home I walk to the edge of the swamp and try to walk out. I run into something and fall knowing there was nothing in front of me. "There must be some sort of forcefield guarding us from getting out!" Lily said helping me up. Aydan starts to get mad. "Why did we even come to this place!?...We're never getting home..." Aydan starts to walk to the cave where set setup camp. Lily and I follow now knowing we were stuck here. I started thinking how this rumor even got out and how my mom would be worried sick. "Well... there has to be an opening somewhere in the forcefield... Right?" I said thinking how the rumor got out. " Maybe...but even if there is one how are we going to find it..." Aydan said trying to calm down. "Hm..." Lily murmured helping the wolf.

I went to the creek to get some water for the others when a person in a dark cloak stared at me from a distance. "What the heck..." I whispered staring back at him. When I blinked he was gone. "I'm probably just hallucinating..." I explained to myself getting water. I carved out a bowl out of a stump using Aydan's pocket knife. I filled it with water and carried it back to the others. I told them what I saw as I boiled the water. Lily tries to practice her powers so she won't hurt anybody and Aydan wonders if he had more than the power to breath underwater. Lily grew a small sunflower and grew it larger.

"We could roast some sunflower seeds to eat... I'm starving..."Aydan said. Lily drunk some water and picked some seeds off the flower. "Me too...and sunflower seeds do sound delicious!" Lily said putting them in the bowl and over the fire. The seeds started to darken and we started to eat them. They tasted like Lily cooked them perfect. We didn't have any salt so it didn't taste like the normal ones, but it still tasted good. Aydan went to the creek to see if he could catch any fish. "So where do you think an opening could be hiding?" I asked Lily thinking of home. "Maybe somewhere hard to get..." Lily answered. We started to talk a bit till Aydan came back. He had a small fish in his hand that could almost fit in his palm. "It's not much but it's something. After we were done drinking the water Aydan got some more water in the bowl and put the fish in it.

He went back for more and took the bowl with him. Lily and I went to the place where Aydan's truck sunk. "Ow!" Lily yelled stepping on a piece of glass. I picked it up and saw it was not from the truck. The truck glass was thick and straight. This glass was thin and curved. I looked at the pillars and saw the glass domes shattered and scattered everywhere. I saw a small red text written on the remaining dome.This is just temporary...It said. "That's just creepy..." Lily said staring at the red text. I took the dome to the cave and Lily laid down to take a nap. I washed off the red text (Not blood surprisingly) and Aydan brought back the bowl with 3 small fish in it. I poured the water and the fish in the glass dome and put sticks under it to support it. Aydan told us that when he tried to grab a fish and it swam away, the water circled his hand and shot at the fish. He was excited to see he had better powers than he thought. Lily stared at him in confusion. He didn't believe in magic before and now he is very into it.

The fish in the glass dome swam around and electricity started up and duplicated the amount of fish in the dome! The wolf gently splashes the water trying to get one of the small fish. Lily got one out and gave it to the wolf. Me and Aydan froze in shock wondering how that could've happened. "What, is this the weirdest thing you've seen in this swamp?" Lily says to us with a serious face on. "Well..." Aydan answers scratching his head. "I see your point..."

Afterwards Lily brought the wolf out to see if he could walk again. She put him down and he started to limp a little and then started to walk. The wolf fell down when he stepped on a rock. Lily rushed to help him. "You know we should give him a name." I said helping Lily. Aydan thinks for a bit and then explains "Well... He is part of this "magic" swamp so what about..." Aydan thinks some more. "Lily should pick the name, she is the one who went threw all that trouble." I explained to Lily and Aydan. "How about.." Lily pauses and looks at the wolf sneaking towards a butterfly. "Hunter" Lily answered. "Cool!" Aydan said. We went back to the cave and we started eating some fish and then I went out to search for an opening in the force field. We searched almost all day.

When we got back Lily asked me something strange. "Who do you think wrote that text on the glass dome?" she asked. "Now that I think about it... I don't know..." I answered. "What are you guys talking about?" Aydan said rather quickly. Me and Lily forgot that Aydan wasn't there when we found the text on the dome. We went inside and Lily started practicing her powers again and Aydan took a nap. I thought who could have wrote that text. What if there is someone else in this swamp... Someone that could help us... I thought. Lily then explained what happened while we were gone to Aydan.

While they were talking I snuck out. I went to the quicksand place only to find nothing. I looked around a bit and found a large piece of metal sticking out of the ground. I tried pulling it out but when I did I put my foot in the quicksand. Luckily it was only my foot so I pulled it back out. "Jayda! Where are you?" I heard them yelling. I brung the large piece of metal to the cave and Lily and Aydan came back. "There you are! We were worried sick!" Aydan explained. They looked at the metal and asked where I found it. I told them what happened and I put the metal at the entrance of the cave. It almost perfectly fit. I tried using magic to smelt it to the rock. I did this barely but I did it. They clapped now seeing we had a door to the cave.

We later found out that the metal was from the truck. It was the car door. It was actually perfectly normal too. Aydan scavenged the quicksand for his truck and only found the wheel. He came back about to cry. He saved money for years and bought that truck, and now it's gone. He layed down next to Hunter and fell asleep. I practiced my powers with Lily outside the cave. She climbed the small cliff and started to grow vines on the side. I practiced burning the vines. We did that until nightfall and went back to the cave. I got a small branch and put the rubber from the wheel on the top. I snapped my fingers above it to make a small spark. I put the new torch outside the cave on the wall of the cave, between some rocks. I went back inside and rested.

ssssss...I heard a noise outside the cave I looked through the door window to find a snake curled up under the torch. It was as black as night and had purple eyes like amethyst. It was beautiful but unusual. It did not look like a normal snake, so I went with Lily to check it out. The snake hissed and stood tall. It had a small claw on the tip of it's tail. Lily got closer and the snake backed up. She held out her hand to the snake and the snake sparkled and disappeared. She jumped back when it disappeared. We looked around the cave to see if it went anywhere close-by. We went back into the cave and fell asleep. A shady figure appeared at the door and looked through the window of the cave. Purple eyes glowed on the shady figure, but this time

it wasn't a snake...
