Chapter Three - Boarding

Selena came home shaking. Ms. Fordoum was in the kitchen washing her hands, minding her own business. When Selena sat down at the counter, she displayed a fresh batch of cookies.

"Oh Ms. Fordoum you shouldn't have." Selena said dryly.

"Don't worry dear. I'm just glad your safe after I heard about the serpentine on the streets." Ms. Fordoum insisted.

If only she knew that I was the one who beat them up and saved myself.

"Thanks." Selena replied, politely taking a cookie off a sheet.

"Now you go and get some rest." She said pushing Selena out of the chair and edging her up stairs.

Rest? At eleven o'clock in the morning? This was strange even for Ms. Fordoum. And how did she know about the serpentine. Barely anyone was on the streets to spectate, Selena passed several TV shops with none showing the news of what happened, and she didn't even slightly mention anything about a snake to Ms. Fordoum.

Unless...

"Ms. Fordoum, can I ask you something?"

"You just did. But go on."

"How'd you find out about the serpentine on the streets?"

"Spectators told me."

"But I was there and no one else was watching except me."

"You were there weren't you." Ms. Fordoum growled.

Selena started to back away. This was definitely not the real Ms. Fordoum. It looked and talked like her, but deep on the inside it wasn't.

"Lets just put it on record that I HATE hypnobride." Selena decided, and then pushed Ms. Fordoum down the stairs, and rushing out the door.

She was entering the kitchen, so close to freedom, when Ms. Fordoum grabbed her ankle and began to pull Selena backwards. Her bow staff was two far away to reach so she had to think fast.

One thing came to mind. Her reflects acted and grabbed the first metal thing she came in contact with. And that happened to be a frying pan. She slammed it into Ms. Fordoum's head, knocking her unconscious.

"Sorry." She whispered, and then stood up and brushed herself off.

Selena grabbed her umbrella and closed the door, pretending like she was just going on another morning walk. The sun was shining more brightly and Selena looked silly carrying around a umbrella.

Selena was wandering around the harbor, trying not to think about the helpless Ms. Fordoum laying on the floor back at the apartment.

To her surprise, there was a very big crowd at the harbor today, which was rare for a collection of various reasons. She inched through the crowd and made her way to the front.

Floating in the water was none other then the Ninja's ship. This intrigued Selena, saying that Sensi Wu might be on board. She had ti find a way to sneak on that ship.

Selena thought for a second. She couldn't sneak on now, too many people, and she couldn't go back to her apartment, Ms. Fordoum and the hypnobride.

A imaginary light bulb just went off. She would wait till the crowd thinned out, and then sneak on board the ship. She just hoped that the Ninja wouldn't be on board when she executed her plan.

Three Hours Later...

Selena was still waiting at the harbor. The crowd had barely thinned, most of the people were still there, waiting for the Ninja. Selena started to get impatient.

She had to get in that ship. Roaring motors crept up behind her. She turned around. The four Ninja's were hopping out of their cruiser.

The crowd cheered and backed away, clearing a path for the Ninja. In a signal file line, each one strut down to the ship. As soon as the last one was on board the crowd dispersed and the harbor cleared.

Selena and a few fishermen were the only ones left. It was finally time for her to sneak on board.

Turns out that wasn't needed.

The fire ninja, Kai, walked up to her after everyone had left. Selena raised her eyebrow at his presence.

"What do you wan?" Selena asked.

"Why don't you come on board. I need to ask you a few questions."

Sorry if I got the name of the snake wrong. I forgot if its hypnobride or hypnopride. I can't remember. I totally need to rewatch the season. Please Review! Thanks! :)
