"The Secrets Of Neopia"

Chapter 10

They ran for their dear lives. Then they stopped. "I think we lost him." Taffy said,out of breath.

"OOF!" Strawberry ran into a tree. She noticed a camouflaged button on the bark of the tree. Taffy went up beside her, "Press it already!"

Strawberry didnt hesitate. She pressed the button and the rock in front of them revealed a hidden cave.

"Hey is that the mysterious cave of Terror Mountain? Yay! We made it to the top! We made it!" They all jumped around happily while the curious Zafara went ahead inside the cave. The others eventually followed.

Taffy knocked over a rock and uncovered a brown wooden box, "Hey, this is NeoGlyphics! We found it!" Then a voice with a nasty tone interrupted, "But you aren't going to keep it!" "Huh?Who was that?", Strawberry wondered, "Sloth?" She growled.

Sloth knocked the box out of Taffy's hands and it flew across the cave. "No!" They screamed. Strawberry and Taffy started to tackle him. He dodged. Taffy looked back, "Sunbell! Get the box!" The Aisha was horrified. "Are you crazy? That dusty thing?"

But before she could she could go anywhere a shadow grabbed it, "Don't worry Sunbell! I got it!"
