Chapter 9
I sat on the floor nursing my forehead while the white creature spoke. I soon grew annoyed, and stood. "Excuse me, are you done yet?"
"FOOL! Me? I'm never done!" And with that, I pushed him into the water. A glowing golden light followed and I shrieked as he pulled me into the water. He did it so quickly; I hit my head on the floor with enough force to knock me unconscious. Excalibur popped out of the water and got back onto his rock platform, staring into the water where I had been pulled in. Air bubbles popped at the top of the surface and Gwen gasped.
"Whisper!" She cried, walking over to the water. She groaned as she picked me up. "Really? Why'd you do that to him?" She asked the white creature, who whacked her with his cane. "Ow!"
"FOOOOOL! He is the one who pushed me into the water first! I was merely returning the favor! And my name is Excalibur! It is Master Excalibur to you!" Gwen laid me down on the ground and began pumping my chest, causing me to cough up water and groan. She stopped and sat me up beside her, wrapping her arm around me. I shivered and laid my head on her shoulder.
"My head hurts." I whined holding the part of my head that had hit the rock. Gwen hugged me and I looked up at her, my face turning pink.
"It's okay. We'll be leaving soon. Master Excalibur, as we're to call him, is annoying. Who'd want to stay here for long?" Gwen hugged me tighter and I squeaked, my face turning a deeper, darker pink. Gwen giggled and she hugged me a little tighter for a couple of seconds. I squeaked again and I covered my face with my hands as Excalibur spoke.
"Fool! Men do not squeak like little dogs!" I flinched and Gwen rolled her eyes. She stood and I tumbled backwards. She giggled and I smiled, grabbing her outstretched hand. I lifted her up onto my back again and yawned.
"FOOL! YOU MUST LISTEN TO MY SONG FIRST!" The white creature broke out into song, singing and dancing. I groaned and he whacked me with his cane. I yelped and began walking away, the white creature still singing and dancing.
"I'm sleepy." I murmured, walking out of the cavern. I yelped as the walkway fell onto just open water. I dropped Gwen and began trying to stop sinking. Gwen grabbed my hand to pull me up to the surface. I quickly swam to the edge of the lake and shook off. My hair was dripping wet and I felt like a dog, constantly shaking to try and dry off. It didn't work too well. I only got Gwen more wet, and she splashed me with water. I sneezed and helped Gwen out of the water. We grabbed our things, and headed home.
