I added my own character for this chapter. I think he's kinda cute, but if you don't then feel free to send me hate mail, lol!

This chapter is from Christopher's POV (I know it's suppose to be April's turn, but I don't know what's going to happen to her yet, so the next chapter will be hers)

Anyway, lets get on with the fic!

                                                          Chapter five: Meemo

"mmmm…" I grumbled as I rolled over onto my back.

What happened? What knocked me out? Did I dream everything? Was April being kidnapped and David and Jalil being captured all a dream?

I slowly opened my eyes.

I found myself staring back into two large whitish-yellow eyes the size of golf balls.

It looked down at me a blinked twice as if it were confused.

"AHHHHHH!!!" I screamed and scrambled to my feet.

"Shhh! Sir must not be heard or the monster will find us!" He whispered timidly and took a step toward me.

I quickly picked up a stick and pointed it at him.

"Stay where you are!" I said backing away.

He shrunk back.

I took time to study him.

He was only a few feet tall, about up to my knee. He was covered in light brown fur with a short stubby tail.

"Please Sir, don't hurt me Sir." He begged quietly.

He didn't really look threatening, but in Everworld you can never be too careful.

"What the hell are you?" I asked, not caring how polite I was.

"I am a gremlin." He replied. He seemed a little scared.

"A gremlin?" I asked. I was reminded of a movie I have seen along time ago, about a bunch of gremlins that went crazy and started killing people.

"My name is Meemo." He announced. "I ran away from King Sirin because he started to beat me." He shuddered as if remembering something horrible.

I studied him a little more. He did look a little beat up.

"Why did he beat you?" I asked.

"He got bored." He replied simply.

What kind of person would beat up a living thing for fun? The kind of person who has April right now! I had to save her, and soon.

I was about to ask if he'd seen her, but then another question came to me.

"What was it you said about a monster?" I asked.

"When King Sirin heard about my escape, he sent a monster out to get me."

Oh just great! Things can't get any worse!

I was about to ask him more, when he suddenly screamed.

"MONSTER!!!" He shouted.

Before I could look around, a large black dog leaped on Meemo.

"AHHH!" He screamed while trying to fight away the dog that was twice his size.

I ran over and kicked it in the head.

It growled and turned on me.

I slowly backed away from it.

It suddenly leaped at me.

I squeezed my eyes shut and swung the stick in my hand as hard as I could.

I felt it connect with the dog's skull.

It yelped in pain and fell to the ground.

I opened my eyes.

The dog lay there not moving.

"Sir saved me!" I heard Meemo whisper. Then louder he said, "Master saved me!"

He charged at me, and before I could pull away, he had my legs in a tight hug.

Strong grip for a little guy.

He leaped up on my chest and cried into my shirt. Then he blew his nose in it!

"YUCK!" I shouted and pushed him away.

"Master I am forever your slave!" He said happily.

"You don't have to be my slave." I said wiping my shirt.

"Yes Master." He bowed.

"And you don't have to call me Master either. My name is Christopher Hitchcock.

"Well Christopher Hitchcock, how may I be of service?"

I was going to tell him to call me just Christopher, but there was no time.

"I would like to know if you've seen two men, One with dark skin, the other with dark hair. They're about my size, maybe a little shorter. They were taken to the dungeons." I described Jalil and David.

"I have not seen such men." He said apologetically.

"Well have you seen a women with red hair and green eyes?" I described April.

"Pretty Lady?" Meemo looked up at me.

"Yeah, she is pretty!" I said hopefully.

"I've seen Pretty Lady! She's the one King Sirin wants to marry!" He said excitedly.

"Do you know where she is?"

"Yes I do Christopher Hitchcock!"

"Where?"

"This way, follow me." He began to walk toward the castle.

I followed.

So what did you think of Meemo? I know his language is a little off, but it's supposed to be. Well please review. Next chapter coming soon^_^
