Cody Blane and the Floating Portal
Chapter Nine
Say Cheese!
Cody was restless that night. He couldn't just tell the Headmaster of what he saw. He didn't have any proof. He tried to get some sleep, but couldn't. He tried of thinking about Draco Abigere Pila, but his thoughts drifted to Michelle. He wondered what had happened to her. He missed her a lot and wondered if he had feelings for her. He shook his head. He couldn't believe why would Isaac take her away. He again tried to fall asleep, but couldn't. He kept on thinking about Michelle. He wondered if she liked him back. He finally fell into a dreamy sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Michelle?" Cody yelled through the thick mist. He listened for any sound, but only heard the sound of the waves, hitting the cliff side. He walked around, and heard evil laughing. An evil laughing that he had heard before. Before his godfather took him away. The next thing he heard were screams. He listened and followed the laughs and screams. Soon, the mist cleared away. He saw a cloaked man advancing to a girl. He hid behind a wooden pole and stared.
"Help!!" She screamed. Cody recognized the voice. 'I'm coming Michelle!!' He thought and pulled out his wand and stepped out of the pole. He pointed his wand at the cloaked man.
"Leave her!!" He yelled in a cold voice. The cloaked man turned around. Cody looked at the man's odd face. He has a very pale face, with a scar that ran through his left eye. His nose was very flat, as if he has no nose. The man's right eye were larger than his left eye and bulged out a bit. Cody backed away, stunned on how ugly the cloaked man looked. "So.we meet again, Cody." The man said in a raspy voice. Cody closed his eyes and opened it. He looked at the man, but didn't see the odd-looking man. What he saw was Isaac. An evil Isaac. Michelle screamed once more as Isaac took her hand.
"Let me go!" She struggled. Isaac grinned at the sight of Michelle. Cody was lost. Isaac advanced on Cody and pushed him off the cliff.
Cody suddenly woke up, breathing hard and sweating. He was now really mad at Isaac. Even though he didn't see Isaac push Michelle to the portal, but his instinct told Cody that Isaac did it.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Michelle woke up. She groaned painfully and hungrily. She looked around and heard water hitting a cliff side. 'Where am I?' She thought and got up. She looked around and remembered she not going anywhere near here. She looked to her right and saw a small cave. She felt chilly and shivered.
"You too huh?" Said a voice from behind her. She whirled around and saw Tom Posidon.
"Huh?" She asked him, puzzled.
"What you did not know? We're in some dimension."
"Right." Said Michelle, not believing him.
"What? Don't believe me? Then tell me how you got here." He sneered. Michelle rolled her eyes. David just smirked. Michelle turned around and headed to the cave.
"I wouldn't go there if I were you." Said Tom cautiously. Michelle ignored him and went inside. Seconds later, she screamed. Tom shook his head and went after her. Michelle walked backwards and tripped over a root. She didn't hit the ground, but felt strong arms around her. She looked up and saw Tom grinning at her. Tom slowly leaned down but she stood up quickly.
"Thanks." She muttered and walked briskly out of the cave. Tom just shrugged and frowned. Michelle sat down and leaned on an Oak tree. She put her thigh to her chest and rested her head on it, thinking how hungry she was and how she missed her friends.
*~*~*~*~*~*
December soon entered and the castle was covered with snow. The castle became colder. Many students were leaving for Christmas. Cody thought it was a good opportunity to make Isaac confess of what he did, but he didn't know how. He grabbed his camera to take some pictures of the castle and his friends who were leaving.
"Hey! Gary! Mind if I take a quick shot?" Asked Cody, putting up his camera.
"Nope, go right ahead, Code." Said Gary, smiling for the camera. There was a white flash that came out of the camera.
"Thanks." Said Cody as Gary waved good-bye. Cody left the Common Lair. He turned around a corner and saw bright light. Followed by that was grunting. He tiptoed and saw Isaac, pushing another student into the light.
"I've got you now, Isaac!" Cody grinned and held up his camera and took many shots of Isaac. Isaac stopped and heard shutters clicking. Cody suddenly stopped and made a run for it.
"Better hurry and push this lug into the light and get that meddling spy!" Isaac thought angrily. With one big push, the student fell into the light. Isaac waved his wand and the portal was closed. Isaac then quickly ran and turned around a corner but only saw a running shadow.
Cody finally reached the common lair where Lizzie and Gabe were sitting on the couches. He was out of breath and was clutching tightly on his camera.
"Where were you?" Said Lizzie.
"Just taking some pictures" Said Cody, grinning. "I've got something really exciting and important to tell you."
"Well, spill!" Said Gabe impatiently. The doors swung open and Cody quickly hid his camera into his robe.
"Hullo Isaac!" Greeted Lizzie and smiled. Isaac gave her a small smile. "Err.why's your face all red?" Isaac ignored her.
"Have you seen anyone with a camera?" Isaac asked impatiently. Gabe was about to open his mouth to answer but Cody shot him a don't-say-anything look. Gabe closed his mouth. "No." Said Lizzie, seeing the look. "We didn't see anyone." Isaac nodded and left the Common Lair, cursing under his breath.
"So what were you going to tell us?" Asked Gabe. The door again swung open and a 3rd year entered the Common Lair. "Tell you later. It's not safe here." Whispered Cody as the 3rd year left the Common Room to the Girl's Lair.
