Here's another good chapter! Also, I think the evil secretary will become a recurring character, for those who were interested to know :)

I'd just taken care of the families on the island. Now, there were eight more carrots. I only hoped the cat didn't eat them. The only people left un-carrotized were the mayor, half of his security force, and his evil secretary. I didn't look forward to dealing with that last one.

I was trudging back to the mayor's office when I stopped in my tracks, realization dawning. The Bard had only told me about twenty-three people. There was someone else on the island he'd forgotten!

Of course, that's when a shadow flickered in the background, and I heard a slight creek. Creepy music started playing, and it built up and up, scarier and scarier. Then I noticed the shadow was really a hobo, zapped him with the Carrotron, and laughed.

Now I was finally ready to get to the mayor. I had a plan. Entering the building, I walked calmly towards the other side of the room. Every time the secretary angrily sprung up a tile underneath me, I'd jump back out of the way, and then climb onto the tile, jump off, and keep walking. Once I'd reached the end, she'd sprung all the tiles. "Hah!" I taunted. "Bet'cha didn't see that coming!"

She hadn't, but what I didn't see coming was her. The secretary flew at me and tackled me, pinning my shoulders to the ground. "No one gets in to see the mayor!" she screamed hysterically. Out of her skirt pocket she pulled a knife out and pointed it at me, giggling.

Then the mayor walked in. Quick as a flash, the secretary hid the knife, jumped off me, and smiled ear to ear. "Good day, Helen. Were you just about to bring this young man to meet me?"

"Oh yes, oh yes, certainly!" Helen exclaimed. When the mayor turned to look at me, she made rude hand gestures at him and slid her finger across her throat.

"Now how can I help you, sonny?"

"You can let me turn you into a carrot."

"Sorry pal, I don't believe I heard you right. Did you say- - -"

I zapped him into a carrot. Immediately two security guards came running, and they met the same fate. Then I pointed the Carrotron at the psycho secretary, smirking smugly. "Looks like the table's have turned." I fired.

She held up her knife and the beam from the Carrotron hit the reflective surface and bounced back. At me.

Oops. I'd turned myself into a carrot. Smooth Move.

Thanks for reading and please review!
