Sorry it took so long! I've been really really busy!
Disclaimer: I do not own ADJL. And I do not own the gargoyles that Goodybad and Sakume made (They won't be in this chapter. They will probably be in the next though.) (If you didn't make any gargoyles, you can, they won't be a big part in the story, but they will be in the story here and there.) But I do own Silver, Bow, Gold, the triplets, and Smooches.
I will not be able to update from July 9th to July 17th. I'm going to Colorado!
Chapter Five
Black laid quietly. Black needed to get out of this hotel room, but Gold was not asleep yet. Black's bed was the farthest from the door. He would have to pass Jake, who was thankfully snoozing away, then Gold, who was wide awake. How could he tell? The shadows told him. He turned. He could hear Jake moan about something then turn. Black sighed quietly. His own eyelids were getting droopy. Which wasn't good, for he had to get out of the room to protect Addrios's scepter. He closed his eyes. He would go to sleep. He would just pretend to sleep, he told himself.
Black was in a small room. A woman laid on the bed, her breathing labored. A little boy beside him was crying his heart out. The little boy was about seven years old. The boy had wild black hair and his bright green eyes were dull and bloodshot. He felt sorry for the little boy. It was clear that the little boy's mother was going to die. The woman moaned. The little boy jumped up and ran to the woman's side.
'Momma? Everything's gonna be okay, right? Right, Momma? Daddy is gonna come, isn't he?' The little boy asked. The woman turned to the boy. The woman had long black hair and pale blue eyes.
'Of course it is, baby. Of course it is.' She said hoarsely. Black knew she was lying. He just had a sudden feeling. The little boy watched her for a second.
'Momma, I love you.' He whispered, leaning down and giving her a wet kiss on the cheek.
The woman didn't answer. She moaned loudly. A short doctor rushed in, pushing the little boy out. The heart monitor was not beeping. 'No!' The little boy cried, tears forming into his eyes. The heart monitor started beeping. She slowly turned her head. 'The scepter! Guard it.' She said breathlessly. She cried out. The heart monitor did not beep again.
Black sprung up in his bed, gasping for air. His cheeks were wet. He looked around. Gold was finally asleep. Black slipped out of bed and pulled on his clothes. Then he silently made his way to the museum.
Silver woke up shortly after eight o'clock in the morning. Bow was still sleeping, cuddled up in his sheets. She slipped her clothes on. "Bow, wake up." Silver said, lightly shaking him. Bow grumbled and turned. "Bow!" Silver said, more sternly. Bow woke up.
"Do we have to get up this early?" Bow whined, sitting up in bed.
"Yes. We've got to learn the layout, the time all the guards do their shifts, the camera system, the..." Silver started.
"Okay, okay, I'm up, I'm up." Bow said. Silver smiled. Silver walked out of the room, to let Bow get dressed. Silver walked into a room. Gold and Jake were still asleep. Black was no where to be seen.
Silver shook Jake. "Jake, wake up. It's burning daylight." She told him. Jake opened his eyes wearily. She smiled and turned to Gold.
"Gold." She called out, shaking him violently. He was such a heavy sleeper. "Gold!" Silver yelled in his ear. Gold sprung up. "Time to get up." She told him. He muttered something under his breath and got up. Silver walked out and went to the Triplets room. They, fortunately, were already up.
Silver went to turn around the corner, to get to her room, when she collided into something heavy. The thing landed on her. She turned her head. Black was sprawled on top of her. "Oh, hey Silver. We should stop falling for each other. I mean, falling on each other." Black said, a tint of pink on his cheeks. He got up and helped Silver.
"It was my fault again. I wasn't looking where I was going. But I'm alright. Where were you?" Silver told him.
"Uh, around." Black answered. He looked nervous. Silver raised her eyebrows.
"Around. Wow, that explains a lot." She said sarcastically. Black grinned sheepishly at her. The door opened and Jake and Gold walked out. The triplets and Bow soon joined them at the breakfast in the front of the hotel. Black quickly ate and left. Gold waited till he left the hotel doors before he started talking.
"Okay... this is the plan." Gold said, his mouth full of a cinnamon bun. Jake looked in his orange juice. A couple pieces of cinnamon bun was floating in his juice.
"Say it, don't spray it." Jake told him, getting up to get him some more juice.
"Yes, that is disgusting. Chew your food first, swallow it, then talk when there is no food in your mouth." Silver said. Gold looked irritated but swallowed his half-chewed cinnamon bun. He coughed and took a drink of his coffee.
"Okay, Silver, I want you to check the outside of the museum. Up, down, to the right, to the left, to the side, everything. See where we can get in and where we can get out. Jake, Spark, and Aqua, I want you guys to take a tour of this museum. Remember every camera. Write them down if you have too. Flame and I will be in the library, checking the floor plans and security plans of the museum. Did everyone know what they are going to do?" Gold said.
"You mean, I have to be in the library?" Flame asked, looking horrified.
"Um, can Flame switch with me. He's never been in a library before. Aqua has but he doesn't like reading." Spark asked enthusiastically.
"Okay, Spark will go with me for the floor plans and stuff. Flame, you go with Jake and Aqua. Help them remember security cameras. Everyone got that?" Gold said. Everyone nodded. "Okay, lets split up." Gold told them, standing up.
Silver yawned. She was on the museum's roof. There was the vent to get into the museum. The air was quite cold. Usually she would fall asleep in warm weather, not cold. She turned to human and laid on the museum's roof. It was unnaturally warm. There was a sweet smell in the air. She curled up and closed her eyes. Gold told them to meet at one for lunch and to tell what they have figured out. It was only ten. She could take an hour or two nap and then explore the gift shop before going to meet Gold and the others. She slipped into dreamland as a Soul Sucker flew towards her.
Black was outside the museum, catching up on his sleep. He was hidden by the tall grass behind the museum. Something past over him. He opened his eyes then shut them quickly. The sun was right above his eyes. He sat up and opened his eyes slowly. When the light didn't hurt his eyes, he turn just to see a Soul Sucker land on top of the museum. Black jumped up. He remembered what happened yesterday. Was Bow up there? Or even Silver. He quickly changed into a black dragon and flew up.
The Soul Sucker was already bent down over someone. All Black could tell that the person had white tennis shoes. He landed to the side of the person and froze. The Soul Sucker already had it's nasty lips on the person. The person was Silver. The Soul Sucker moved it's hand and a force hit Black, making him almost fall of the building. The Soul Sucker opened up a small, round container and placed a small whitish ball in the container, then tightening the lid. Silver laid on the roof. Her chest did not move. Black ran at the Soul Sucker. The Soul Sucker was standing up, so it did not see Black until the last second. The Soul Sucker flew across the building and crashed into the vent. The round container flew off the Soul Sucker's body and rolled it's way off the building. Black gasped and flew up. He dived for the container. He ripped the container open. Two whitish balls flew out of the container. It circled Black then shot up into the sky. The Soul Sucker had jumped off the building. Black started to fly up but the Soul Sucker landed right on him, making the Soul Sucker and him hit the ground hard.
The two whitish balls zoomed towards Silver's body. One of the smaller whitish balls hit the larger ball. The larger ball flew to the left. The small whitish ball entered Silver's body. She snapped up, looking around wildly. The last ball zoomed towards the hotel. It entered the hotel and zoomed straight for a small golden retriever puppy.
Black threw the Soul Sucker off him and flew up to the building. The Soul Sucker zoomed away from the museum and the hotel, heading for Acheksu's largest forest. Black landed on the roof and formed into his human form. "Silver are you okay?" He asked her, going up to her.
Silver looked at him confusingly then broke out into a huge grin. Black smiled back and helped her up. She wobbled a bit then stopped. She leaned against Black. Black's heart began to race. She sniffed. What is she doing?, He thought. Then she leaned against him more. Then she did the most weirdest thing. She stuck out her tongue, and licked his cheek.
.:Silver's POV:.
I woke up in a strange room. It was like Bow's and my room in the hotel, but it only had one bed. A man lounged on the bed, reading a book. Of course, to the untrained eye, he would have looked like a regular man that had pointy ears. But, to anyone else, he was an elf. He had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He also needed a shave real bad. He wore a white T-shirt and some boxers. I got up. Which wasn't very different than laying down. The man seemed familiar. I walked toward him cautiously. He turned his head and looked at me. He wore half rimmed glasses. "What's wrong, girl?" He asked me.
'Why am I in this room?' I asked him. But all that came out was: "Bark bark ruff whimper." The elf raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" He muttered. He smiled and closed his book. "Come here, Smooches." He called, patting the bed beside him.
Smooches? My name was Silver. Not Smooches. Who in there right mind would call someone Smooches? But, my body forced me to run up to the bed and jump. Unfortunately, I didn't make it and I fell on my back. "Ouch." He said. He picked me up and set me on the bed. A woman, another elf, was sleeping in the bed.
The man scratched my back. It felt so good. I laid down and turned on my side. Then I realized I had yellow legs. Well, actually, I had golden fur on my short, stubby legs. The man rubbed my tummy. I shot up and turned. I saw a clock, which said 1:30. Then I saw a dresser, which was in front of the bed, on the other side of the wall, and a mirror was hanging above it. In the mirror, I saw the two elves and a small golden retriever puppy. I screamed. Which came out in a howl. Which woke the woman up. She had long blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She was wearing a blue silk nightgown with black lace at the hem. I leaped off the bed and ran for the door. Of course, it was closed. I looked at the man and the woman. The man got up quickly and opened the door.
I bounded down the hall. The man closed the door and jogged. As I turn to go into the kitchen, where I was suppose to meet my friends, the man picked me up.
"No, Smooches. Outside is this way." He told me, leading me outside. He set me down and sat down at a bench. Whoa. Did he think I needed to go to the restroom. If I was, I wasn't going anywhere near him. I laid down in the tall grass and waited. Someone walked out of the hotel. No, not now, I told myself. Someone was walking in. The elf man nodded to her. She nodded back. She opened the door. I ran as fast as my little four golden legs could carry me. I dashed inside. The man, unfortunately, saw me. He sprang up. I ran into the kitchen.
Gold, Bow, Jake, Black, and the triplets were sitting there, watching. I ran over there to see what they were looking at. What I saw shocked me. There was me, actually my body, eating. But, I had my face in a large cake. White and pink frosting was all over my face. I watched horrified.
"Smooches!" A voice called out, somewhat near. I ran over and jumped into Jake's lap. Jake jumped a bit and looked down. The Elvin man ran past the kitchen, still calling "Smooches!" My body looked up for just a second, then went back to eating.
"Whoa. Where did you come from?" Jake asked me, scratching me behind the ears.
'I'm Silver! I think I traded bodies with a dog name Smooches!' I cried. But all that came out was barking. I jumped up on the table. Gold, Black, Bow, and the triplets looked at me. I barked some more. Well, actually, I was trying to say something, but they can't understand dog. My body watched me then went back to eating. How was I gonna get my body back?
