CHAPTER 5

"Run! I mean, swim!" Carlo yelled as he paddled quickly.

"I can't swim!" She yelled back.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, BIG WHITE SHARK!" A tiny bubblefish with a chipmunk voice ordered.

The shark obeyed and stopped.

"Don't you notice who they are?" They are our classmates!" The bubblefish squealed sincerely.

Carlo smirked and interrupted, "I can't remember having ocean creatures as my classmate."

"Shut it, Carlo!" The bubblefish snapped.

Carlo fringed and freaked out. "The fish knows my name! A fish knows my name!"

"I'm Klodia." The bubblefish introduced. "And that's Stephen D'Fisher, remember?" She glanced at the shark. "We're classmates! We're from the same school!"

"I don't understand." Eljin shooked her head.

"Can't you remember? The evil witch cast a spell on us! She wants to eliminate us all by killing each other!" Klodia, the bubblefish explained in a squeaky voice.

"What? What witch? Who? Why? How? When?" Eljin asked.

"She deleted most of our memories and kept it somewhere. I don't know. All I remember was a spark of light and..and.. " the bubblefish chewed.

"What're you eating?" Eljin asked. Again.

"Umm..Gum weed?"

"Well, you know what? We can't stay in here FOREVER! My wings are wet!" Carlo exclaimed, raising his hand holding out his wand.

The three other creatures looked at each other smiling and thinking of the same thing.

"I mean... flying is helpful so I must take care of the wings I got from the witch's curse.", he cleared thoroughly.

"But Bryant got loads of zombies out there. We must make a plan, Carlo, a strategy. We should know when to shift locations in the night incase the zombies would attack.", smartly, Eljin spoke as she swooshed her hands in the water with gestures.

"You can stay in my territory for a while. Deep down. Lots of unicorn poo there. From shore. Can stay there for a while.", D'Fisher, the shark suggested.

"No more unicorn poo for me!" Eljin pulled Carlo's arm and swam towards the shore.

"Where are you going?" Klodia puffed tightly.

"Out." said Eljin.

"I thought we still need to make a plan?"

"Good bye then!" Klodia squealed and waved.

"No need. Let's face the zombies!" Eljin told Carlo as she made more bubbles in the salt water than the usual.

They kicked their feets faster for the poo's magic is almost due.

"So you choose deadly flesh eating blood sucking creatures than magical smelly innocent unicorn poo?"

They can't breathe any longer. The two paddled faster and faster reaching for the atmosphere. Unfortunately, Eljin's foot tangled up with the seaweeds.

"GUUUULP!" she shouted for help and pulled his sparkly skirt.

Carlo dragged her out but his masculine powers were not enough. He brought out some glitter powder again from his pocket.

Eljin's cheeks were inflating. She has 2% of air left inside her lungs.

Carlo sprinkled the glitter to the weeds and it MAGICALLY untangled. Both whirled up and out of the water as quickly as possible.

He was indeed supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

As they reached the shore they gasped for air until their lungs are filled with oxygen again.

Eljin coughed.

"Magical smelly disgusting innocent unicorn poo." she corrected.

They got up the sand and looked around for a minute. The place was still bloody, all so gloomy and zombie-ish.

"Quick! Before they pop out from the graves." Carlo commanded.

Eljin followed where the fairy was heading to until she noticed he was planning to go back to the woods.

"Are you serious? It is where I almost died." Eljin Danford stopped.

"Believe me, it's my home. You'll be safe there." he insisted.

"Uurgh..or he just wants to kill me again." she whispered secretly and continued their walk.

As they reached the forest, Carlo made unpredictable turns like they were in a gigantic labyrinth with no mere ends.

"Shussh! Zombie alert." the fairy told.

They hid behind the bush for a while and waited for the creepy creature to pass through.

Slowly, it walked, dragging its toes to the grass.. Very carefully...taking it's time.

"Don't ask. It's how they walk." Carlo informed, frustrated.

So they waited..and waited. Until finally got out of the bush.

"How come Bryant walks so fast when he's one of them?" said Eljin

She has a lot of questions in her mind but it seems that none can answer them.

"It's the witch." Carlo uttered.

"The witch?"

"You're so annoying! We'll talk about it later."

Carlo Gardenfield was still the same guy he was: not-so-nice, chatty, observant, critic and still looks like a vertically squished siopao though he has been transformed into a pink shimmering fairy.

Yup, a siopao, look it up!
