CHAPTER NINETEEN, THE SCREAMHOLE
() Does anyone know what "Redwall" book has the Noonvale Players or something like that in it? I think that it may be "Marlfox", but I'm not sure... ()
Odell came to. He looked around the huge, earthy pit that he was in and saw Fshio curled up in a ball and Waterfish lying on the ground. He looked up. Dawn was streaking the sky. Odell looked around the circular pit again. There was a huge, gaping hole in the side.
"Hello? Anyone in here?" called out the young otter feebly.
"I'm here," came a hissing voice.
"Yessss...and sssso am I!" added another hissing voice.
"Who are you?" asked Odell, feeling frightened. He scrambled to his footpaws and ran next to where Fshio was.
"I'm Firesssspark," came the first voice.
"And I am called Lightningflash," replied the second voice.
"Where is this? Why are we here?" asked Odell, panicking. The voices sounded evil. "And what are you?"
"This is the Sssscreamhole. Lightningflash and I were put in here to eat the toadssss prissssonerssss."
"You are the toadssss prissssonerssss. They want ussss to eat you!"
"We are electric eelssss," replied the voice of Firespark. Two eel heads poked out of the gaping hole. They were FRIGHTENING.
"The ssssad thing, though, issss that we do not like meat. We are vegetarians. We only eat meat if we musssst."
"Then why do you eat meat if you're vegetarians?"
Odell looked over at Fshio, who had just regained consciousness and had just asked the question.
"We would sssstarve if we did not," answered Lightningflash.
Fshio and Odell were quiet for a moment. Then the young hedgehog asked, "D'you know where Riley and Tiponya are?"
"The dog and the owl?" asked Firespark.
"Yes, them! Have ye seen them?" asked Fshio eagerly.
"Yessss, sssspikepig, we have seen the dog and the owl," replied Lightningflash.
"Where? Is anythin' wrong with 'em?"
Firespark shook his head. "Not yet, sssspikepig. They are being usssed as transsssportation." Firespark nodded towards Waterfish. "What issss wrong with the ponddog?"
"Her name is Waterfish! Mine's Odell and this's Fshio. Don't call her ponddog!" yelled Odell. He had no idea what had made his temper snap like that.
To his surprise, Firespark and Lightningflash chuckled.
"You're a protective one, otter. Brave, too. I admire that." Lightningflash gave something that resembled a grin.
"What'ssss wrong with her?" asked Firespark.
"I don't know," replied Odell. As soon as the words dropped from his mouth, there was a huge, roaring yell.
"EEEEEEEUUUUUUULAAAAAAAALIIIIIIIAAAAAAAA! Give 'em blooooooooood aaaaaand viiineeeegaaaaaar!"
Help had arrived!

Varsha sliced down a toad as she screamed the war cry of badgers and hares. Her four hares were everywhere at once, chopping with epee, sabre, machete, and sword. Sometimes Egua would kick a toad, punch a toad, and gut a toad at the same time. Egua may have been the oldest hare there, and in two seasons would have to retire, but she was an incredible fighter.
Varsha cut down a toad and then heard a yell.
"Varsh, help me, marm!"
Varsha whirled around to see the leader toad having Koru pinned down with his trident and with Koru's sabre.
"NO!!!!!!!!" screamed Varsha in a panicked voice. She charged at the leader toad.
The sabre descended down on Korufylo Speechyard.
() Haha, cliffy-ish. Or is it big cliffy? Tell me. Oh, I know what you're thinking, 'Why do I have to wait for the next chapter? It's obvious that the authoress won't let Korufylo die.' Or will I...? That's what I'll decide. ()
