Chapter 27: Noel

So the thing is...I normally don't do the fighting. But right now, I really want to kick some butt. But before we can do anything, Uncle Vulagur grabs us.

No no no no. Turns out the karate gene runs the family. That does not help.

" Nice try. Well...not really." Next Uncle Vulagur starts to make some type of bubble thing.

Again, Holly gives me a look. That is when she does the stupidest-and awesomest -stunt known to mankind.

She flings herself upward as hard as she could, flipping in midair, screaming a mixture of "Eeee" and "HHHHIIII!", landing on the higher-up pedestal with -of course- a bust of Vulagur.

But before she can even jump again, Uncle Vulagur pushes the bubble in her direction and before I can even warn her, she's trapped. I can see her moving her mouth as she tries to talk, but no sound comes out. Then the bubble starts to deflate, but with Holly in it. Then she is not moving, and the bubble seems to go inside her. I run to her, not caring if the same thing happens to me.

" HOLLY! ARE YOU OK?" I try to shake her but she is hard as stone.

" What did you do to her?"

" Would you like to find out?"

Before I can move, I am in an orange bubble myself.

" AAAHHHHHH! LET ME OUT! NOWWWWW!" Suddenly, my legs become stiff, and I can't move them. Now the feeling is in my arms, going up my body. My spine feels the worst, curling into a ball without me wanting it an instant, I can no longer move. I feel like I am a statue. Wait. That's what I am! Me and Holly are STATUES! NOOO!

Then my vision goes blurry.
