Disclaimer: I do not own Neopets. Simply put.

Note: All the chapters are going to be short because I'm writing in sort of a rush! Sry!

Note: I did not put titles in the chapters because of the above reason!








"The Secrets Of Neopia"
Chapter 9




The other three Neopets were shocked. The creature just laughed, and flew off into the woods. "Roxie! Roxie! Wake up!", Strawberry shook her. Their furry friend didn't move. Motionless. Strawberry cried. Taffy cried. Sunbell cried. But Strawberry cried the hardest. Roxie was Strawberry's first friend since they were babies.

The furious Zafara pounced ahead, "Let's go find that murderer!" The others were still in shock. "OK...", they agreed. Strawberry slowed down for them to catch up. But when Strawberry turned around, she bumped into someone. Or rather, something. The evil creature who killed their friends.(A/N: He killed Roxie and the Negg Faerie in case u forgot) Strawberry dived at him. She got out her Snowglobe Staff and shot an icy blast. It wan't very effective. "OK, little ones, it's time you know who you're dealing with!" , he cackled. He took offthe cloth and revealed his Grundo-like body.

It WAS Sloth! The three gasped. Strawberry became even angrier. She got out her two Improved Lightning Beams, and shot them at Sloth with incredible force. The beams knocked Sloth down and Strawberry then shot him with another icy beam from her Snowglobe Staff. Frozen! "Are you sure he's frozen?", Taffy was worried. "I dont' know but I don't want to find out!", Sunbell said, "Run!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sloth!? Who would've known? Well, I would...Anyways, has Sloth really been defeated? And what about Roxie? Is she really dead? Find out in the next chapter!
