Chapter Seven – The Juniper Tree
The next day the ARK Angels arrived back at their school armed with berries and a big clay bath-tub, Shawn and Hunter insisted on coming with them to see how things went down.
"You want some help getting this thing out of the car?" the driver said as he opened the door to let the ARK Angels out.
"No we got it, thank you Sir," Cheyenne replied shouldering the huge tub with Cameron and LC and the driver shook his head in amazement.
"Man that girl sure is strong," he said before getting back into the driver's seat.
"Don't you wanna see what happens?" Shawn asked him.
"If it's all the same to you Mr. Michaels I'd rather not be anywhere near those ravens, I saw what they did downtown on the news," the driver said looking over at Waterside and shuddering at the huge flock of ravens that had taken over the premises.
"Okay but you don't know what you're missing," Shawn said confident in the ARK Angels' abilities to turn things back to the way they were.
"Dad stay in the car," Cameron said and Shawn's face fell.
"What?" he said in shock.
"I mean it Dad stay in the car it's not a good idea to have you out here," Cameron said.
"But why?" Shawn asked baffled.
"He's afraid your Righteous Indignation might act up and you might accidentally burn these kids alive," Hunter said.
"But you let Amy help you," Shawn protested.
"Mom can control her Righteous Indignation and she's dealt with these ravens before, I mean it Dad in the car," Cameron said and Shawn stamped his foot with a pout and got back inside the DX Machine.
"This is not cool, I have to wait in there while they're having an exciting adventure out there," Shawn complained.
"You get used to it," the driver said turning the page of his newspaper and Shawn rolled his eyes and sunk into his seat while Hunter, Joanie and Amy walked with the ARK Angels down to the playground.
"Wow look at all these birds," Hunter said amazed at the number of ravens all over the playground.
"Don't worry Dad this will all be over soon," LC said as the ARK Angels waited for the birds to come and get the berries, little did they know that as soon as they hit the bath-tub they would be transformed back into children.
"They sure are taking their sweet time," Hunter said as the ravens didn't move and Cameron rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"They need a little provocation," he said.
"I'm on it," Hunter said and ran at the ravens making himself big and intimidating, the ravens didn't like that at all and they chased him all around the playground.
"Run Hunter run!" Shawn called from the DX Machine.
"They're in my hair!" Hunter yelled out.
"Dad over here!" LC called out to her father and he ran towards the clay bath-tub, when the ravens saw the berries they dived into it but before they could eat the berries the ARK Angels poured water over them and they turned back into children all at once.
"They did it!" Shawn cheered from the back of the DX Machine.
"Uh-huh," the driver said turning another page of his newspaper.
The ARK Angels helped the children out of the clay bath-tub one at a time.
"Hey mom could you turn up the heat?" Cameron said noticing the children were cold and their clothes were wet.
"Certainly," Amy said and activated her Righteous Indignation, moments later the children's clothes were bone dry and they were filled with vitality.
"Call your parents they're worried about you," Cameron told them.
"We should find Mr. Applebee and the other teachers to make sure they're okay," Amy said and Cameron looked over to the juniper tree and saw Mr. Applebee and the teachers huddled underneath it. The ARK Angels walked over towards them and saw that they had been pecked by the ravens.
"Cameron, Cheyenne, Lisa!" Mrs. Alderman said and the ARK Angels comforted the teachers.
"Don't worry everything's gonna be alright now and your scars will heal," Cameron assured them.
"What are you doing under here?" Joanie asked them.
"It was the only place the ravens wouldn't go," Mrs. Clark said.
"It was the only place we felt safe," Mrs. Alderman added.
"It's a good thing I planted this juniper tree otherwise we'd be bird food," Mr. Applebee said and Cameron rolled his eyes knowing the protection from the juniper tree had nothing to do with him.
"The parents will be arriving soon to take their kids home, why don't you go home too and get some rest?" Cameron said and the teachers nodded thinking it was a good idea, with one exception.
"I'm gonna give those parents a piece of my mind, letting their kids run wild on our school and setting those birds from Hell on us!" he said angrily.
"Mr. Applebee it's obvious that you have no idea what happened, the children and their parents had nothing to do with this, you should save yourself the embarrassment of talking to them and just go home," Cameron said firmly and the teachers snickered at how Cameron had just put the Headmaster in his place.
"How dare you talk to me like that!" Mr. Applebee snapped.
"Well if you would have just listened to my son in the first place your face wouldn't look like minced meat right about now," Amy said in Cameron's defense and Mr. Applebee consciously touched his face and the teachers continued to snicker at his humiliation at the hands of Cameron and his mother.
"Go home Mr. Applebee," Cameron said again and the ARK Angels, Amy and Joanie left the teachers with a big smile on their faces while Mr. Applebee tried to swallow the big hunk of pride he was choking on. The ARK Angels carried the clay bath-tub into the DX Machine while Shawn, Hunter, Joanie and Amy signed autographs for their classmates.
"Pfff, we do all the work and they get all the glory," LC huffed indignantly, "What a jip,"
"We're not doing this to be popular LC, remember?" Cameron said and LC nodded, "to God be the glory,"
"To God be the glory," LC and Cheyenne said in unison.
"Amen. Now we roll out to Langley Boys, Riverside Girls and Sheep Hill Elementary and finish the job," Cameron said as their parents got back in the DX Machine.
"Then we go home right?" LC said hopefully.
"No, then we come back here. I've got a plan to get rid of the spell that old creepy man caused for good," Cameron said, "Mr. Applebee's not gonna like it though since it involves our favorite tree which just so happens to be his,"
"Mr. Applebee upset, I like the sound of that," LC said smiling and she and Cheyenne thought about what Cameron could have in mind to wrap this mission up.
