Man-eating termites? RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
As he looked at the animal that had come out from the bush he burst out laughing because the cutest most adorable little mouse stared up at him with it's inocent chocolate brown eyes. It had a nut in it's hand and was trying to chew on while at the same time staring curiously at Isaac wandering what was this strange looking creature that was at least 5x it's size. He reached towards the little critter careful not to frighten it and offered it a leftover olive he'd found in his lunch bag. The mouse stared at the olive suspiciously and was debating if it was safe to go for the olive or keep chewing on the nut till it's teeth fell out. The little animal walked cautiously forward and stepped into Isaac's hand standing still in case it sensed any danger and decided to flee. Isaac was beginning to get drowsy and was wandering what to do when he looked down at the mouse he saw that the poor thing had fallen asleep in his scarf since it was nice and warm. He decided to take of the scarf and put it next to him and let the little cutie sleep there. He fell asleep dreaming of Garet being chased around by a giant mouse.
Isaac awoke to the sound of birds singing. The sun was shining in his face, and everything looked peaceful so far. He heard a pair opf voices speaking nearby, so he decided to get up and see what was going on. He thought about what had happened last night and smiled. Thinking that if it had been Garet on watch he would have probably woken the whole forest up screaming. If Garet saw it he'd probably run away screaming his head off. Isaac remembred once when they were 14 he Jenna and Garet were playing in the little forest next Kraden's cottage. Jenna had pushed Garet by accident into a bush. He stayed there for a while until he jumped up screaming something that sounded like "Mouse in my cloths. " He had run around the 2 of them in circles screaming until Jenna grabbed him by his collar and made him take all of his cloths off. What they saw was so hilarious that Isaac and Jenna had fallen onto the ground unable to control their laughter. Garet Had a cute little mouse latched onto his chest. The poor thing must have been scared out of it's mind thanx to Garet's running around and screaming, that it had latched onto him by biting his nipple. The poor thing was dangling by it's teeth from Garet's chest. Isaac and Jenna rolled on the ground laughing and crying from the pain in their sides. Garet had seen the mouth and had flipped trying to get it off of his chest he tried grabbing it and hurtling away. It worked. Later Isaac and Jenna had calmed Garet down and had become good pals to the mouse. They tried to get Garet to touch it and apologize for hurting the poor thing. They succeeded only by havingJenna threaten Garet by saying she'd drop him in the river. Unfortunatly the mouse either knew that Garet was the one who had hurled him into the air or it didn't like him plain and simple, because when he reached to touch the tiny animal it bit him (CHOMP!) (AN: ouch that' gotta hurt.HAHAHAH! I was crying so hard after I wrote this part because I kept picturing it in my head that I could hardly write it. You gotta admit it's funny^_^)
"Isaac you're awake! Good morning" A cheerful Mia said to him, she was standing around the camp fire talking o Garet and Ivan. Isaac couldn't believe his luck Mia was awake and looked just fine with the exception of her bandaged right arm.
"Mia! You're awake. Are you alright? I thought you were unconcious."
"I was but I woke up this morning feeling fine. I guess after you healed me and I got some rest I was feeling good enough to get up and walk around. That's all I'm fine now so you don't need to worry about me anymore. Ivan and garet told me that you sat by my side for 2 hours because you were worried about me. Thankyou Isaac I really appreciate that." She smiled at him. Isaac blushed and turned to Garet and Ivan.
"How are you doing this morning Ivan? Are you feeling any better?"
"Yes Isaac thankyou for healing me again. I'm just fine thankyou." They sat around the camp fire had breakfast and talked about what had happened and what they should do from here.
"I think we should pack up everything and get going since it's pretty early. We have a lot of ground to cover if we hope to find any villages or towns nearby. Besides I doubt if we shoulod spend any more time here tyhan necessarry after what happened. We don't wat to get in any more trouble, and we also need to stock up on items soon." Isaac told the others. They packed up their tents and everything and got ready to go.
"Alright lets go guys." They walked away from the campsite and decided to go north. As they walked the would occasionally comment on a nearby plant or flower and admire the view. They walked in pairs with Isaac and Mia leading the way followed by Garet and Ivan right behind them. Garet started his whining again about being hungry (AN: I told you he was bottomless) As they walked they saw that the path in front was getting narrower and more rockier. They kept walked not noticing the darkening sky it looked like there was gonna be a bad storm.
"Hey guys I think you better take a good look at this." Garet said to the others worriedly. The other three looked up just in time to be hit with tiny stones of hail.
"OUCH! OWW! That hurts. OWW! I'm getting out of here, I'm not gonna stand hear and be pelted to death with stones." Garet yelled. All four of them took off in hopes of finding a nearby cave they could hide in.
"Look! There's a cottage up ahead lt's go maybe there's someone there that can help us." Yelled Isaac. They ran until they reached the cottage, until they discovered dissapointingly that it looked abandoned. They hurried inside and shook their cloths which were completely wet.
"My god! It looks like the world is going to end out there. I mean it's hailing and raining at the same time."
"Gee! Seems like today is a bad day to go anywhere near the water. No offense Mia." Garet said
"No offense taken Garet. I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same way. Ugh! Now that were stuck in this cabin we might as well make the most of it." She started looking around. The others joined her in checking out the cabin. There seemed to be a couch and a chair which were so full of dust that they looked almost black. To the left side of the door on the wall there was a small counter which was bare with the exception of a silver candle holder with a candle in it that looked like it hadn't been used much. Across from the front door on the opposite side of the wall there was another door leading into who knows where. There wasn't much to determine who or what had lived here and for how long either.
"Well it doesn't seem like a bad place to stay at least until the storm passes then we can leave. I wonder if there[s any food here." The others stared at him sweatdropping.
"Garet don't you ever think about anything other than food.?" Isaac said to him
"Now that you mention it.. No not really!" He said to Isaac. Isaac just stared at him and shook his head, then he went to look around.
"let's check the other room just in case there's something or someone hiding in there." Isaac said to the other three. He approached the door cautiously and opened it. Inside there was a small room which looked like a bedroom or what used to be a bedroom, there was a bad that could fit at least 2 people but was badly scarred thanx to the excellent job done by a very hungry group of termites. Next to the bed there was a nightstand with what looked like a lamp both eaten to the shape of no recognition. On the right side of the wall there was a big dresser with a couple of bottles on it and a jar of what looked like cream next to a piece of paper. Isaac picked up the piece of paper and flipped it open. There was a small note inside all it said was "don't forget to buy groceries."
"Great news guys I think we're getting closer to a town or village. This note says don't forget to buy groceries so there must be a town or village nearby. Alright as soon as this storm lets up we're gonna get a move on, the sooner we leave the sooner we reach our destination." On the opposite side of the nightstand there was a third door leading to what looked like a small bathroom. There was a hole in the wood, it looked like the middle part of the floor had caved in. They heard a small rustle and looked to where the sound had come from. When they turned to the hole in the floor they found about 5 pairs of red eyes staring right back at them.
"EEEeeeek! RATS! I'm getting out of here. I'd rather freeze to death out in th storm then stay in here then get eaten aliveby rats. Garet Screamed, then ran out of the room. The others stayed behind to look a bit more and se what was under the floor boards. Until they saw a huge claw bring itseslf out from under the floor boards, whatever was under that floor was no harmless rat. They watched until the head of a shark like animal came out then they too took off after Garet.
"I think Garet has the right idea, we better get our asses out of here before that thing brings out the rest of it's body. I will not fight another monster, they're ugly and powerful, especially this one it looked like it was gonna eat us alive." Ivan said breathlessly. They ran outside and kept running until they had caught up with Garet, they slowed down and finally stopped a safe distance from the house. Garet apparently hadn't run far since he hjadn't stuck around with them to see what was under the floor boards.
"Shit! I just realised that I left my sword and my bag of items back in the cabin. OH GOD! I'm screwed now I'll never get it now that those rats are there I can't go back. PLEASE! Can one of you guys go back and get it for me?"
"No chance! Unless whatever you had in the bag is very important then we're going back together either that or we're not going at all. Well? What did you have in there?" Isaac asked him.
"Uh.! Um Isaac you better have Mia hold your sword for you in case you decided to kill me after you hear this. I don't wanna die at such an early age I still havn't tried every single kind of food made to man yet!" Garet Whined. Isaac narrowed his eyes at him.
"Well? Speak Up." He said to Garet.
" Ok.. I left my sword, and the bag of items had a couple of nuts, viles, 5 water of life, 7 psy crystals, The cloak ball, and the carry stone. And the Mars star." Isaac lunged at him, but was held back by Mia and Ivan.
"Let go of me guys. Please just let me kill him." He said to Ivan and Mia.
" Not until you calm down Isaac. What's wrong with you? Where's the Rational Isaac I know. Don't worry nothings happened to the bag or the sword and we'll go get them back as soon as you calm down. No we're not letting go not till you calm down a bit and start thinking clealry again. Besides donm't worry about the beast in the floor for all we know it's gone and if it's still there we'll battle it and defeat it. Don't forget with our psyenergy and Djinn combined we're bound to beat it. So please for my sake at least calm down. Besides you're starting to act like Garet, rushing into things head on. " Mia said to him pleadingly. He finally let up and stood still. He was standing there thinking about what Mia had said to him when Garet spoke.
" Um. Guys did you realise that we're outside?" They stared at him in shock. Thinking he'd finally lost it. Then they realised just what he meant, they were standing outside with the birds singing and there wqs no hint of the storm that had been thundering across the sky.
"Oh my god! You're right Garet. The storm it's gone, that was quick though, I mean when did it stop? We've been standing here arguing that we didn't even notice." Ivan said.
'You're right Ivan. That's great that means we don't have to worry about staying in that cabin anymore, now all we have to do is just go back and get Garet's sword and the bag. I just hope they're still there." And I certainly hope that that thing is gone.
"Alright let's go get this over with and face that thing whatever it was." Isaac sight and headed back towards the cabin. They walked back until they reached the front door where Isaac hesitated for a mere second then opened the door. The entered cautiously and stood there for a while expecting the beast they had seen to jump out at them. There on the couch sat Garet's sword and Item bag, it didn't look like they had been touched. Garet ran over to the couch retrieved the Sword and the bag and hurried back to the others where they rushed out of the cabin as quick as they came. They ran a bit more then finally stopped and sat down to rest and catch their breaths for a minute.
"Alright now that we've gotten back Garet's bag and sword we can keep moving." Isaac said to the others. They continued walking until they found themselves In a clearing. There was a small pond nearby with a tree on either side of it and near the trees were flowers and grass was growing. The sun was high up and it looked like a beautiful day to be traveling. There were birds in the surrounding trees singing, others chattering, there were animals runing around and there were fish swimming in the pond.
"Hey Isaac why don't we rest here for a while and take our time to freshen up and maybe even catch something to eat. Therer's a couple of berry bushes over there and there's an apple tree right over there." Garet asked him.
" Why not. It can't hurt to stop here for a while after all let's see what time is it?"
"it's 10:30, we've been traveling since 7:00 that's not bad and we did cover a lot of ground so I guess we can stay here for an hour or so. Then we can get moving again. Now that's not a bad schedule." Ivan said to them.
"No it's not bad at all" Mia said. The boys decided to take a little nap while Mia headed to the part of the pond that was covered and went to take a bath. After all that battling, walking, and running she they had all gotten quite dirty, and Mia wasn't feeling especially clean. She felt like she hadn't taken a shower in months. Later around 11:00 after Mia had finished bathing and they had breakfast they decided to get moving. As they were walking someone spoke from behind them.
"That's far enough young ones." The Adepts looked up, startled and came face to face with...
YA! Finito! I know I'm probably gonna have a nuclear bomb dropped on my front door for cutting off this chap. Here that's why I'm gonna try to post chapter. 5 either tommorrow or today. Like Garet said I don't wanna die just yet I want to buy the golden sun 2 and play it. NOW PLEASE GO REVIEW OR ELSE... R+R please! THANKYOU!
