The group learned that it would take until tomorrow to get to the dark lake. That gave them plenty of time to plan out their trip and what item they would collet next.

"Well I did some research and there is a wishing stone in the troll village which is only a few hours from the lake so I propose we go there after we collect the water." June said bringing up another page of her palm top.

"What's that you have June?" Rixon asked, an arm wrapped around Teresa.

"I was curious about the Lake and learned that they lake is a manifestation of dark energy. We're going to have to be careful when we collect the water." Styl walked to the back of the airship and pulled something from one of the storage units.

"What do you have there sweetie?" Lilliana asked.

"I think you might want this." He unwrapped the bundle and pulled out a small crystal goblet.

"It's perfect. Now we have something to hold the water in. Thank you." She kissed his cheek as she placed the goblet in a small box, sliding it beneath the control panel so safe keeping.

The day soon turned to dark and everyone was beginning to nod off. Styl had Lilliana lying across his chest, his head rest on the top of her's. He was able to catch the scent of her herb and berry shampoo, a smile flashing across his face.

Avion was sleeping with Ashlynn in his embrace. Crystal had her head resting on Lorcan's broad shoulder, both of them in a deep slumber. Key and Angel slept next to one another, the both of them still a bit shy around each other. Luka had fallen asleep leaving June to pilot the ship until she was too tired to continue on. She put the ship on Auto pilot and went to rest with Luka.

Everyone was enjoying their slumber with the ship suddenly jolted, waking everyone.

'What's happening?" One of the girls asked as the ship started to shake.

"We're over the lake but I think it's attacking us." Luka said trying to steer the ship over the shore instead.

The lake attacked and the ship was banged against the trees. Lilliana and Angel were knocked unconscious from this but there was no serious damage.

"Everyone hold one, this is going to be a bumpy ride." Rixon said as he saw the next attack being thrown at them.

The ship rattled and shook, knocking around everyone inside. Lilliana saw as the box slid from its hiding place. She ran after it, knowing that without that goblet they would have nothing to put the water in. she grabbed the box but was petrified in feat with she saw the next attack coming right at her.

"Lilliana!" Styl shouted. He ran out there and knocked her under the console. She held on tight as the ship got knocked around once again. Her breathing was heavy, her pulse quickening.

"You okay?" He asked, loosening his grip on her.

"Yeah. You saved me. I was so stupid. I shouldn't have done that." She said. He gave her a smile as they climbed out from under there.

"why is the lake attacking us? June have any ideas?" Teresa asked. Everyone was scared. This was freaky.

"I found something. The lake is alive. It must think we are here to hurt it." June said still scanning her palm top.

"What do we do?" Rixon asked looking out at the water, it turned and swirl like an angry mass. There was some damage to the ship, but nothing serious.

"Stay on guard this isn't over yet." Avion spoke, now turning to look at the lake below.

Avion unfortunately was right. The water began to attack again, the kids being tossed around the ship. Somewhere in the entire struggle, the door to the ship was opened. Luka tried to reach the control, but the ship was rocking and rolling too much.

"Be careful everyone, the door is open and I can't reach the latch." He said giving everyone a warning.

Everyone screamed when the ship was thrown into the trees.

"When will the water leave us alone?" Lorcan asked.

"I don't know." The ship stopped shaking and the water began to calm.

"Think it's over." The lake threw one last attack before finally ending its assault on the teens. Avion closed his eyes from a moment to catch his breath, when he heard a scream when he looked outside the open door her saw Ashlynn disappear in the murky water below.
