Cherry and Atticus on Zombie Island

chapter 11

Drell eventually woke up. "Thank goodness, you're all still alive."

"First, I'm underneath you and second, what do you mean by that?" Cherry asked.

Drell stood up. "There's a reason I didn't come with you guys, I don't wish to discuss it, but you have to leave this island as soon as possible."

"Because of zombies?" Cherry asked with a scoff.

"No, something worse," Drell shook her slightly in warning. "Far worse than that..."

"How much worse?" Discord asked.

"Like something so deathly to suck out your soul worse." Drell said.

"I've been doing research," Cherry said as she took out the book she was reading. "There's something funny about this place, I can feel it in my gut."

"It's about the two woman you and the others met." Drell said.

"Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree?" Cherry asked.

Those names caused for Drell to get a chill down his spine in fright. Cherry smirked since that had frightened him.

"You don't know them like I do." Drell said.

"What do you mean?" Cherry asked. "You're over 600 years old, they're not witches... Aren't they?"

"Ever hear of 'werecats'?" Drell asked.

"Werecats?" Cherry replied. "Not really."

"Seriously?" Discord asked.

"Oh, like you know about werecats." Cherry glanced at the draconequus.

"Actually, yes I do." Discord smirked.

"Yeah, right..." Cherry rolled her eyes.

"I'm centuries old." Discord reminded with a chuckle.

"I should leave now..." Drell said nervously.

"Oh and why's that, Drelly?" Discord chuckled.

"Uh, I have dry-cleaning in the other realm..." Drell smiled nervously.

"Uh-huh, sure." Discord smirked.

"Drell, what's up?" Cherry asked.

"Uhh..." Drell drawled out before teleporting himself away.

"He knows something." Discord smirked.

"I know..." Cherry replied. "It was funny to watch him squirm."

"Yeah, and when you continued to hit him." Discord laughed.

Cherry hid a smirk as she had caused Drell pain. "Yeah, that was pretty funny."

"Oh, we can even rewatch the whole thing, I was recording it." Discord smiled as he showed hidden cameras.

Cherry took a look with him and snickered, but then shook her head. "What am I doing?! We could all be in danger if Drell is scared!"

"You're right." Discord said.

"I wonder what he meant by werecats?" Cherry then hummed and looked to Discord. "All right, spill, what do you know about werecats?"

"Well, they are ancient and need human souls to feed on," Discord said. "But they can only do it under the Harvest Moon."

"A-And when's the next Harvest Moon?" Cherry asked.

"Hmm... Let me check my schedule..." Discord took a look.

Cherry put her fingers in her mouth, nervously chewing at her nails.
