Chapter 23-

Giant Alligators

The green thing growls as we all stare at it, "Was that an alligator?" Ethan asks, "How was that an alligator?" He adds.

"Got me..." Benny mumbles, "I mean, in Whitechapel?" He says confused. "Uh, guys?" Rory says, catching our attention, "Remember that locker search a couple months back?"

We all start thinking and I remember, we all had a random locker search, and when ever someone had something to hide, they usually flushed it down the schools toilets.

"You flushed live alligators?" Sarah asks after Rory finished explaining and we started walking again.

"I didn't mean to!" Rory exclaims, "What? They obviously survived." He adds. "Wait, where did you get them?" I ask.

"Uh, Florida. I thought they were iguanas! When they called the locker raid, I panicked. I thought they'd be safe in there." Rory answers, "Yeah, 'cause nothing says 'home' like a school toilet." Ethan says.

Benny looks over at Rory slightly annoyed and then we keep walking. We walk over towards the stairs, Ethan looks up, "Yeah, it defiantly went this way." Sarah says, I sniff and gag slightly, "Yeah... Defiantly..."

"How do you guys know?" Ethan asks, "Vampires and werewolves have really good sense of smell." I reply, "Their right. It was here." Rory says, jumping up the stairs, only to step in some green goo.

He groans, "Is this normal for an alligator?" He asks, we all step over the goo, past Rory. "It's grown a lot in four months." Sarah points out, "This is no normal alligator..." I mumble, I only then realise that Benny snaked his arm around my waist some time when we were down there.

"That potion must have mutated them." Benny says, I glare at him as Ethan stops walking, "Potion? What potion?" He asks, "The Potion I dumped that day was called Jock Star. It gives you the combined athletic mojo of Sidney Crosby, Krobe Bryant and a circus dolphin." Benny says grinning down at me.

"A dolphin?" Ethan asks, "What? Chicks dig Dolphins." I look over at Benny and nudge him, "Sorry, babe. It was before we dated." Benny says shyly, I smile slightly, a light blush on my cheeks from the name he called me.

"It's ok, I get it." I say, he smiles down at me, "Can you two stop being sickly adorable, so we can carry on?" Sarah asks, but with a nice tone.

"Yeah, dial down on the Benigail." Rory says, I turn to him, "What?" I ask, "Oh, that's your names mixed together." Rory says smiling, "You made a ship name for us?" I ask, Rory shrugs, "I was bored!".

We all get up the stairs and walk out the door, Benny and Rory peek around the corner while Sarah, Ethan and I just walk out.

"I can't believe you were going to take something like that." I say, referring to the potion, "I'm telling your grandmother." Sarah points out, Benny instantly starts freaking out, "No, no, no! Please don't tell her!" Benny pleads.

"I'm telling her!" Sarah threatens, "Guys! Not now." Ethan says, stopping the two fighting, "We're trying to find a huge alligator." Ethan says.

And let the alligator be found.

There's a low growling and we see a tail going around the corner, "Don't surprise it." Benny says, "They don't like to be surprised." He adds, "And how would you-" Benny cuts me off by placing his finger on his lips to shush me, "OK, rude." I say crossing my arms.

He laughs silently, as we turn the corner, the alligator is laying in the middle of the hallway, green- steam? Yeah, steam. Flowing from its mouth.
