Chapter 1
Kidnapping
Beth flew high above the clouds. She dialed up Jessica as she flew.
"Hello?" the familiar voice rang out through the cockpit.
"Hey Jess, I'm on my way home."
"Great Beth, thanks for makin' the byes quick I know it's hard to do." Jessica said
"Yeah it was really hard to say good bye to Kowalski."
"I understand."
"Sure you do." Beth spat sarcastically
"Awww, c'mon Beth! Don't make me feel bad! I'm just trying to take care of us that's all!"
"Okay." Beth said, then she heard some background noise on Jessica's end.
"Just where do you think you're goin' little lady?" Jess said, her daughter's voice was heard in the background.
"Just outside mom! I wanna wait for Beth!" she replied bitterly
"Fine. Just be careful." Jessica said
"Nah. I'm gonna go get kidnapped by a psychotic dolphin." Ivy replied sarcastically. Beth could hear the front door slam behind her.
Jessica's voice returned to normal, "Did you hear her? She's been like that almost ever since you left."
"She's just a kid Jess... Don't take her too seriously." Beth said quickly
"I know, I know."
"Look Jess, I'll be home in a few. Talk to you then." Beth said, abruptly ending their conversation. She continued to fly the helicopter, even though it was on autopilot. She had a feeling Ivy had figured out the message she had left behind.
…
As Beth neared their small Northern Michigan cabin she could see a small black and white figure on the porch of the cabin. Ivy stood writing in her diary.
Beth landed the helicopter in front of the cabin and jumped out.
"Hey there Ivy!" Beth cried as the small penguin ran to her and gave her a tight hug.
"Hia!" the penguin exclaimed, she was small, very skinny, roughly between the ages of fourteen and fifteen, her feathers were cut into long bangs and died dark purple in some places. Her large sapphire blue eyes shined and her scared wrists wrapped around her diary and purple ink pen.
"Jess inside?" Beth asked her, Ivy was quite for a moment, "What is it Ivy?"
"Yeah, she's inside...Aunt...Beth." Ivy whispered, a huge smile spread across Beth's lips.
"You figured it out!" she said, giving her niece a hug
"It wasn't hard Aunt Beth, you practically led me to my birth certificate! So your brother is my dad?" Ivy asked, she talked very quickly in a hushed whisper.
"Yes..." Beth said smirking. Ivy's mother, Jessica had decided that Ivy would never know her father, never meet him, never know his name, and never know Beth was her aunt. Beth however, thought this to be horrible unfair, for she herself had gone through life no knowing who her father was and it had been living hell. It was only fair Ivy knew, and what if their was a problem? Ivy would need Skipper's help.
Ivy was about to speak when Jessica walked outside. She was a bit taller than Beth, had baby blue eyes, her black feathers were cut to look like a long bob, and she wore a stern expression on her beak. "Beth, Ivy get inside! Camille has locked onto Blowhole and he's headed this way!"
Everyone ran inside. The cottage was small and at the kitchen table sat Camille, a very petite looking penguin with warm brown eyes, and black feathers that were sharply layered with bits of dark red in them. She was tapping away on her laptop and didn't even look up when the group walked over.
"He'll be here in roughly ten minu-" There was a crash. Glass breaking then Camille screaming as the large kitchen window broke and a huge silver gun metal claw burst through grabbing the punk looking penguin and dragging her back out the window. Beth and Jessica attacked the claw with every move they could but several more claws broke through more windows.
Ivy began panicking. She ran to the coat closet down the hall and pounded out the code next to the door on the keypad to secure "The Machine", every time she messed up a number and had to restart.
Ivy heard her mother yell as a claw grasped her around her waist.
"JESS!" Beth yelled as a claw tried to grab her but she jumped just in time, "Ivy!" Beth cried as she dodged another claw, "Is it secure?" Ivy knew what she meant and nodded.
"He won't be able to get it!" Ivy responded as she ran from a claw that was after her. The she dodged it again but successfully tripped over her skateboard and hit her bead on the couch. She rubbed her beak and ran across the room to avoid the claw.
"Go- AH!" Beth screamed as a claw grabbed her flipper, she held onto the couch as it tried to drag her out the window. "IVY!" she yelled to her niece who was doing fairly well not getting caught, "GO! GO TO YOUR FATHER!" she whipped out her special pocket knife and pulled out the knife edge. She threw it so it stuck in the wall by Ivy's head, "SHOW HIM THAT! AND TELL JOHN I LOVE HIM!" Beth yelled as loud as she could then the claw finally won and pulled her out along with Jessica and Camille. Ivy sat, breathing heavily as she comprehended what had just happened, then she hear a noise. A very sickening noise. Criiiiiinck...
Metal on metal.
Ivy peered around to see the claw that was after her sliding over the stainless steal refrigerator then out the window, holding a life sized penguin stuffed animal. Exactly Ivy's size.
Then all was silent.
Ivy pulled out the pocket knife and read the inscription aloud, "'To Elizabeth Antigone Wilson on your 14th birthday. With love, Mom and Thomas' I'm gonna find you Thomas."
She got up and grabbed her backpack and threw the necessities in, Beth's knife, her scarf (it was getting chilly out), money, food, cell phone, and diary. She ran to the helicopter and started it up. She didn't know her father's address so she just activated the auto pilot to go back to Beth's last destination. She read the coordinates.
"Looks like I'm headed to the Big Apple!"
