Stranded with Mystery

Claud vs. C56

"It's you!"

“Yes.”, said Claud.

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why would you want to kill me.”

“No time to talk.”

He started to pull out a tranquilizer gun and his finger was put on the trigger.

“RUN!,”I said.

We all ran to get the equipment at the base.

I felt a rush of power and adrenaline. I suited up with my periscope, spy paint, and grabbed my walkie-talkie.  “Ok, here’s the deal. Cloud will guard the base. Corn Puffs....you will be our distraction. Firebolt will be sneak-attack. Your cue, a direct look and a raised eyebrow. Me....”

“Enough with the chit-chat. LET’S GO!,”said Corn Puffs.

She took Cloud with her. Firebolt trotted away and hid in a tree. But soon,I heard a call on my walkie-talkie. It was Corn Puffs.

“So when do you need me?,”said Corn Puffs.

I didn’t realize that 15 minutes went by without Claud or Firebolt.

“Um.....check your area first for Claud.”

“OK!”

I looked around, but nothing was happening. It started to rain, so I tried to find a place to hide. I found a cave that was directly 50 feet in front of me. I started to run to it. But I felt controlled. I was like someone was restricting me back. Wait a minute. I turned my head and

**************************

When I woke up, I was face-to-face with Claud. I tried to speak but I soon learned that my mouth was tied, same with my legs and arms. Wow! The oldest trick in the book! He started to talk to me, but I didn’t really care. I just stared at him. When he turned around, I noticed he had a knife. I kicked him and the knife fell to the ground. He jerked his head. I quickly hid the knife. He turned. I started to cut myself out of the rope.  He turned back to face me. This time it was so sudden, I didn’t have time to hide the knife again. I dropped the knife. He noticed and was mad! He grabbed it and tried to jab it into my leg. I quickly tried to move my leg out of the way. It worked! He had stabbed me in the leg! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I was too hurt to fight and I did not have my walkie-talkie. He had pulled it out of my leg when I fell down. I continued to cut even though I was in desperate pain. I again kicked Claud. The walkie-talkie fell. He of course turned around. I didn’t need to worry about that. He didn’t have the knife, so he could not cut me. I scrambled to get the walkie-talkie. Once I got it hidden, I continued to cut myself out of the rope. Soon, I got my arms out. I pulled the rope out of my mouth.

“Hi, Corn Puf ahhhhhh fs.”

“Hey, where are you?”

“In the forest.”

“Ok, but why?”

“Long st ahhhh ory!”

“Great! But why are you screaming like that?”

“Because I am hurt bad ahhh ly.”

“Why?”

“Because that’s what Claud does!”

“Oh, come on Alex, be realistic! Claud did not hurt you!”

“Go get Firebolt ahhhhh!”

“Ok”    

“Alex?” 

“Hi Firebolt. Please come to the forest now.”

“Why?”

“No time to talk. Find a small cave and I will be in there.”

“Ok, see you soon.”

Luckily, I had Firebolt, a smart spy, on my side. In about a minute, Firebolt was there.

“Hi Alex!”

“Hi ahhhh!”

“Ooo, looks like you got a bad cut. I can fix that up in a jiffy!”

Claud turned.

“Hurry, Firebolt! Claud is behind you!”

She finished quick! She began fighting Claud.

“Alex, you’re good.”

I stood up and my leg didn’t hurt any more! Whoops! I forgot to untie my feet. I fell back to the ground and cut the rope. I stood up once more, and I began to fight. I have been in karate for about 5 years and I’m a black belt. I began to run and performed a perfect flying side kick. Claud fell to the ground. I picked up the tranquilizer gun and shot him. He slept so soundly. I had Firebolt pick him up and bring him to the base. As soon as we got there, Corn Puffs was in a tree branch pretending to fight with a twig as a sword.

“Corn Puffs!!!!!!!”

“What, oh hi!”

“Corn Puffs.”

“Yeah?”

“Get down from there.”

“Ok!”

She scrambled to the ground. We told Cloud and Corn Puffs everything, and to top it off, we showed them Claud, the helpless sleeping man. We packed up and got on the plane. But before we got going, I remembered the dome. I think the dome goes away once Claud is defeated. We defeated him. We began to fly and nowhere in sight did we hit a dome. We flew back home. I could soon feel the cool, crisp, Pennsylvania breeze. Ahh, it’s good to be home.
