Chapter 35: What the-?

"This, Cloud," Ashley said, leaning back in the restaurant seat, smiling, "is why you feed a Dreamlander immediately when he says he's hungry."

Everyone else was gazing at Cole eating, awestruck. "Where does it all go?" Cloud asked, amazed.

"Hey," said Cole in between mouthfuls of food, "even I don't know that."

There was a loud noise at the front of the restaurant. Two men were shouting, sounding enraged. They said things like, "LET US IN NOW!!!", and "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE?!!!"

"I think we'd better get out of here," Cloud said to the others, "this doesn't sound good."

Everyone agreed , but then the screaming stopped. As they walked to the front of the restaurant, they noticed that-

"Everybody's frozen," Julie exclaimed, amazed. "Almost as if they stopped in time."

"It looks like whoever did this must know powerful magic," Draco said, looking around amazed.

There were still two people talking even closer to the front. "Ah don't know why we didn't think of that sooner," said a hillbilly type accent, "now we can get on with our business."

"I agree," said a rough, stern voice. "We must make our play soon in order to make a check mate. But I don't agree with this..."

"Ah don't care! It's the only way we can get our way. Oh, shit, there they are!" The man said just as the group came into their view. Ashley saw a tall man, about seven feet tall, with skin almost as white as Brian's and Elven ears. The hillbilly sounding man was shorter, about five feet, with elven ears and green skin.

"Get them!!!" The hillbilly shouted, pointing at them. They tried to run, but the man who looked like a knight had already cast a spell that also froze them. The pair walked up to the frozen group. "Modify evaryone but Julie and Ashley, Modify them only slightly, you know what to Modify, and Send them all. You know where to Send those two..."

"Well," said Clash, "it doesn't look like your friend here is ever gonna wake up."

"Yeah," said Kate, "I wonder how long it'll take him to wake u-"

She never finished the word "up" because they froze, and two figures walked out from behind them, a woman and a man.

"I totally don't like this," said the woman, who was tall and had almost pure white skin and Elven ears, just like the man she was with. "Like, it's beneath us."

"I know," said the man, who was shorter and had large glasses. "Besides, this was an interesting procedure! We're messing with the experiment!!! Let's Modify them, Send them, and just get this over with. Well, it's not like there's anything else we can do, he's too powerful. I never would've calculated myself doing this."

More mysteries! What is Modifying and Sending? And who are these people that have this power?
