Hey guys, here's the next chapter enjoy! ^-^
Chapter Six
Slyder's POV
"Um...I can't" I say, trying to change topics. "Besides you still haven't answered my friend's question."
Elodie2003 looks at me confused, "what question?"
"How did you find this place and I?" My friend repeats, finally helping me out of my current situation.
The penguin blinks before replying, "you left this at my table."
Elodie2003 hands over a small slip of paper with a bunch of scribbles on it.
"That's a map!" I exclaim, recognizing the drawing.
"Yeah I figured that," she confirms as my friend snatches the paper from her.
He seems to smile as he scans over the paper.
"Guess I'm not as invisible as I thought I was," he jokes.
I watch my friend's eyes brighten with excitement, as he takes the paper and then proceeds to rip it into shreds.
"Hey!" Elodie2003 shouts, "that's mine."
"No...it's mine." My friend answers, "it's in my handwriting."
I look at my friend, confused by his sudden change in character.
"Ace?" I ask, "what's going on?"
Ace looks up at me and smiles.
"There's a new threat emerging in Club Penguin." He announces, "and it's on the prowl."
Lily's POV
I'm finally home around five and my puffles came to greet me at the door.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" I ask with a smile.
I look down to see my two puffles in distress. My smiles fades.
"What's wrong?" I exclaim.
My puffle pulls me over to where my green puffle is.
"Oh Spots!" I announce, "what's wrong?"
The puffle's normal green glow is fading and the puffle quivers in pain. Without even thinking, I grab Spots and rush out the door. I ran all the way down to the pet shop, hoping that PH is still there. The lights are out and so I'm in a panic. I take out my key and unlock the shop door. I know PH keeps some medical equipment in the back.
I ran into the back with Spot and put himon the check up counter. I grab some equipment from the cabinet and then walk back over. Everything read normal on the equipment but I know that Spot's is not okay.
"What do you want me to do?" I ask it.
Spot looks at me with a pained look. I watch his glow darken as every minute passes. I decide to call PH before even realizing that I left my phone at home. I hurry for the front desk. Hold on, Spot...
Slyder's POV
I felt a sudden wave of sickness and fear washes over me. My legs give out from under me.
"Slyder!" Ace yells in concern.
I put my fin on the counter to steady myself.
"Sorry." I mutter, "I didn't feel well for a second."
The feeling continues to consume me and I land on the floor.
"What's going on?" Elodie2003 asks, quickly checks my forehead for a fever.
She gasps and then checks my pulse.
"You're heart is racing and you're burning up," she announces.
She's right. My heart is beating fast, as if I'm in a hurry. I feel heat radiate from my chest. Oh...Oh no...
"Close your eyes!" I warn to my friends.
Ace immediately obeys and quickly puts his fin over Elodie2003's eyes.
"What?" She states, "why? What's going on?"
Seconds later, the crystal glows a bright light. I rip the necklace off my neck, seconds before it would have burned my throat. The chain holding it isn't hot but the crystal is bright and glowing. Without realizing it, I am on my feet with sudden energy and am racing out the door, feeling a mental tug in a certain direction.
Lily's POV
Spot starts to squeak loudly all of the sudden and it startles me. I hurry over, forgetting to make the call to PH.
"Spot" I exclaim, "if only you could talk."
It's glow is merely outlining the puffle as they jump off the table. Spot starts to run toward the door, still squeaking very loudly.
"Spot!" I yell, "calm down!"
Suddenly, I hear footsteps run into the shop and the door slams shut. Something is glowing brightly from in the main room. I peak out to see a penguin holding a crystal and looking rather confused.
"It's you!" We say at the same time when I enter the area.
Spot takes a giant leap at the penguin and tackles him. He lets go of the crystal and it falls onto the floor by my feet. Spot looks at me as if he wants me to do something. Subconsciously, I reach out and I pick it up.
"Don't" the penguin warms, "you'll burn your fin."
Too late, it's already in my hand. The crystal feels warm in my fin but it doesn't burn me. The crystal starts to emit a bright light and it seems to fill up the room. Suddenly, I feel an emotion from the crystal. It enters me and I can feel it. Memories seem to unlock from my mind and I'm frozen in place as the light continues to brighten. The light...It's just like Spots.
The penguin tackles me to the ground and shields my eyes from the bright light. The crystal flies out of my hand and lands on the floor with a clink. He continues to hide me from the light until he's sure that it's safe but he's too late. The moment after coming into contact with the crystal, I lose consciousness.
This is getting exciting. So, Lily really does have a connection with the crystal. Hmm, the puffle seems to also know about the crystal as well. Why has the crystal activated again? What happened to Lily when she touched the crystal? Find out what happens next on December 2.
