Chapter 21

(Arrrg! I hope ye maties are ready for reviewing. Me parrot says hi. REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Man the best day ever turned into one of the worst days yet.

Sigh nothing will ever go my way.

That night I fell asleep on the stupid bus and I'm really surprised I did. I mean come on. Those buses are so loud.

So John had to carry me inside the hotel and laid me on a bed where I snuggled up with Ghost.

I am so tired. I opened my eyes and something was on my face. It was a newspaper.

Why was it on my face? Did John give it to me but, then why?

Here comes the answer.

The front page showed the carnival. Sweet we made the cover! What do we win? There was a picture of the fire and the Eraser. This is the article:

This year at the Autumn Carnival instead of getting stomach aches people got burned. Literally. On the Ferris wheel the machine for controlling it set on fire. Then a man who was abnormally large arrived carrying a gun. He was shooting the gun at the couple on top of the Ferris wheel. We don't know why though. Then something strange happened which we can only call a miracle. One minute people were screaming. A second later the fire and the man were gone. The machine was soaking wet but, no one threw any water on it. And even a large amount of water couldn't get rid of the fire that fast. Then all that remained of the man was a bent gun and some blood on the floor. Someone was protesting that a trashcan smelled bad like a dead body so a police officer opened it. Inside was the dead body of the man! No one knows what happened but, the man lost his head and we suspect that someone stuffed the body in the trashcan. That is all we know at the moment.

Wow such a long article.

At least they said that John and I were a couple. That was nice.

Well I am definitely news worthy. For one thing I have wings. And I can turn into a wolf. What's better than that?

I went to the kitchen table with bed hair and yawned loudly. "Someone's tired." Dusty said. "Shut up. And if you think I should get a curfew I'll kill you." I said.

I am definitely not a morning person!

"I got a phone call from one of my spies from the school. The formula for the new Eraser is being shipped to the most advanced school in the world located in Washington D.C.

We have to sneak in the truck and steal the formula. One good thing is that the truck where the formula is going to be shipped is in this town.

So dress in black clothes." Dusty said.

Man if only I had a grenade right now. I would blow Dusty up because all these stupid crazy schemes. Oh well I can try on my black clothes. Wa hooo!

That night we stepped out of the hotel. Everyone was wearing black clothes and we looked like burglars

We sadly had to walk there.

We passed by someone and I tugged on their hood of their hoodie. "Give me all your money kid." I hissed in a low voice.

He pulled out his wallet and handed it to me.

I couldn't take it anymore so I burst out laughing. "I was kidding sorry kid. At least you know what to do." I said and walked away still laughing.

"Sunset you should be nicer to people." Dusty said. When he turned his head I stuck my tongue at him. Like me being nice will ever happen.

"Okay let's go inside." he said and I looked around. Trucks were lined up everywhere and how will we ever find the one with the formula.

"Okay I heard that it's in truck 27." Dusty said. So that's how.

I found the correct number and pulled on the back door. It wouldn't open. I saw a lock and a few chains. Great.

"Okay John get to lock picking." Dusty said. He really hasn't learned.

I pushed John out of the way (I guess I'm not a night person either) and pulled on the locks and chains. They both broke with a snap.

We crawled in and John pulled out a few flashlights. He handed me one but, I don't need one. Wolf night vision rules!

I tore open a box and in my hands was a priceless vase. Ooo fancy.

"What ever you do don't break anything." Dusty said. I bent down to put the vase away but, my hands slipped. The vase broke into a million pieces.

Well what's done is done.

Then I heard the driver's seat open. But it wasn't us. The truck started and we moved.

"This truck wasn't supposed to go till the morning." Dusty whispered.

I shuffled around and stepped on the broken vase which made me knock into a couple boxes.

The truck instantly stopped and I heard the driver get out. He was mumbling "a dog had better not have snuck in."

This doesn't take a genius.

I tuned into a wolf and when the back door opened I leapt onto the man and made him fall to the ground.

I have to distract him but, what I'm about to do is disgusting.

I started to lick his face and I saw John, Bell, and Dusty run out of the truck. Okay they're safe but, what about me?

He had better not take me to the pound.

I once went to one to get a dog and those places are terrible. I saw a cute little dog stuck in the same cage with a gigantic biting dog.

And the food portions are so tiny.

Well I couldn't save one because for some unknown reason which is now known they all hated me. Must be because they smelled the wolf on me. I never did get a pet. Sigh.

"Oh how did you get in here little doggy? Or should I say big dog. Well I hate animals that have to go to the pound so you can go with me. Then I can let you live in the wild.

You look like you can survive a bullet to the neck." he said.

Yay no pound!

"Can you understand me?" he asked. Crap I almost blew my cover. I just stared dumbly at him. Crisis averted.
The man opened up the passenger seat and I hopped in. I looked back and saw the rest of my team get back inside.

Now I'm stuck with this guy.

For about a couple hours we silently drove and I looked back to see how the guys were doing.

"Doggy don't go back there!" The man yelled and grabbed me by the scruff.

The car swerved and the back doors to the truck opened up. Uh oh.

I saw with one last glance Dusty holding up a vial of purple fluid when the car ran into a tree.

We're so dead.

I was flung forward and I crashed through the window. Good thing my body is nice and strong.

I hit the ground hard and my foot twisted painfully. Okay nice fall but, terrible landing.

I got up and tried to move and I put my paw on the ground. I yelped in pain and fell to the ground. Okay new plan.

"Help!" I howled in wolf but, no one could understand me. Crap!

I saw that the man was unconscious but still alive which is good.

John climbed out of the truck and ran towards me. "Sunset you're all right." he said. Then he hugged me so I licked his face.

I guess I'm more of a sunrise person than a sunset person which is just weird.

I put my paw on the ground and showed him what happened. "Oh man well I hope your happy about one thing. Dusty got slightly hurt." John said.

I yipped in happiness. "Well one bad thing is that we lost the formula somewhere down a hill. Come on let's see if you can get down it." John said and I limped towards a hill.

Man this hill is steep.

I took one step down it and it took all my strength not to howl in pain. Now how to do this.

I can do what I did as a kid.

I got down on my side and started to roll down the hill. This would be fun except for all the sharp rocks in my fur.

I finally was at the bottom and saw that I was at the edge of a park. Okay instead of just my paw hurting all my body hurts.

"Sunset we found your clothes." John yelled and fell down the hill. Now this is funny.

He reached the bottom aching and he handed me some clothes. I changed and walked back to John. My hand ached but, not a whole lot.

"Okay we have to find the formula. Just look for a vial." John said and I sniffed.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. There was sweat, people, sweat, hot dogs, and sweat.

These people sweat a lot.

Then I smelled some chemicals. Yes!

I walked towards it and saw the vial nestled in the grass. Right when I was bending down to get it a teenage guy picked it up.

"Let's see what we have here. A girl with chemicals. You're such a geek. Let's play a little game. Keep away." he said.

Great an immature guy and oh look his immature friends.

He threw the vial to a guy behind me and I walked over to him but, he threw it back. This pattern kept going until I was pretty tired of it.

I walked over to immature guy 1 and very politely kicked him in a very sensitive spot.

He went down pretty fast.

I looked at immature guy 2 and he was starting to run.

This is way too easy.

I caught up with him and made him faint. This guy is so pathetic. I saw him crying. It's not such a cruel world when a girl can make a guy cry.

Then I saw that he had more friends. Like the whole football team.

"Hey! Get away from our quarter back!" yelled one. Well he is not going to play football for awhile.

They started to chase me. I easily was in front of them and I was ahead by about a kilometer.

Great others are ganging up on me.

I saw a nerdy guy trip me and I fell. I got up and punched him but, this took enough time for the jocks catch up to me.

Crap!

Time for my fighting mode. Or my weak girl mode. "Ahhhhhh!" I screamed in a high pitched scream when one grabbed me.

"Help he's hurting me!" I screamed obviously lying. I saw some of the adults get up.

I started to fake cry when one man in a police officer uniform walked up to us. Why are there police officers in the park?

"Let go of her this instance young man." he said in a voice that couldn't be ignored.

"He took something of mine. Then he grabbed me telling me that I had to go with him to get it back." I sniffled.

"That isn't true sir. She beat up my friend." he whined.

"She doesn't look like she could hurt a fly. You're coming to the police station with me young man." he said.

I would have been offended but, I was handed the vial from the police officer.

Mission completed.

Wait I just remembered something.

"Um sir I saw a truck veer off the road when I was coming here. I was looking for a police officer when this was taken from me.

The truck is up this hill." I said and the man nodded to his partner to go look for the truck.

When they went away I saw that Bell, John, and Dusty were waiting for me. I walked over to them.

"Mission accomplished. Let's go." I said and we left.
