"We're off to see the wizarddd the wonderful wizard of black"...oh hello everyone! Have you read that story? Go on my favourites and look up xRLupinx ( or something like that) tis tis good indeed! Now, apparently, it's our anniversary ( the beacons of red light) on saturday, even though it was on a friday we first formed, so i'm uber confused. I've also confused myself because i said last week to celebrate our anniversary, i was updating, which was pointless because i could've just done that now. How silly. Anywhoo, i've had a couple of reviews stating thatpeople areconfused about the story line, and this happens in my other stories as well. You see, rather cleverly, im trying to unfold the story bit by bit, but in most cases im failing miserabley-woops. So, basically, this story is set around 5 years from now. I think anyways. Hope this helps everyone, if you're still confused, just email me and ask! Happy reading everyone!
She had never seen anything like it. As tall as a skyscraper towering over them was a huge, weird scaly thing…..
"A Sea Monster".
Yes, thank you. Above them was a huge Sea monster. It was impossible to count the number of eyes glaring down at them from its equally huge head. It's sharp, razor teeth were bared as Kate and Beth sat in the patched dinghy. No-one moved. Meg began to bark loudly. In response the gigantic beast roared, filling the expanse of the ocean with its sound.
"Run away!" Kate yelled, (A.N. Such a Monty Python moment there! If you've ever watched them, review and tell me!) as Beth and her both began to blow down their instruments. The familiar constipated elephant sound filled their ears as they shot away. The monster gradually grew smaller and smaller.
"Phew!" Kate said, wiping her forehead. "That was a close one!"
Beth nodded. "Yeh, it was-"
Beth had barely begun to speak when, suddenly, the monsters huge tail came slamming down on the boat. They both jumped out either side, Beth grabbing Meg and Kate grabbing her rucksack. The thick, powerful tail made contact, splitting the boat into two and causing a huge wave. The two beacons disappeared beneath the water as it washed over them. The huge monster emerged from the water, where it had chased them as they had escaped.
"ROOOOOOAAARRRRR I'M A SCARY MONSTER!" it said, thrashing its tail. "Mind you," it continued, almost a thoughtful look coming over its face, "it would be rather nice to go and have a spot of tea. All this scaring work is making me extremely thirsty……"
They both came up as it was talking, spluttering and coughing. The monster did not hear them, as it continued to ramble on to nobody in particular.
"Psst, Kate! Swim over!"
Kate swam as quickly as she could, taking Beth's hand.
"Ready?"
Kate nodded.
"And it would be lovely to have some of that new Port Merion china," the monster said, appearing to be talking to Meg, "it's absolutely divine! They come with matching saucers did you know?"
Together, they concentrated. They could both feel it, the force of the Beacon powers rising within.
"GO!"
They opened their closed eyes, releasing a blinding red flash. It filled the air, stunning the monster.
"Arrggghhh noooooo! This is preposterous! What IS going on, I can't see! Help, help!"
The light would blind the monster only for a couple of minutes while they tried to get away somehow. Kate had already swum to a buoy which was bobbing madly up and down on the waves created by the thrashing monster. She climbed on, searching for Beth, though she could not see her red coat anywhere.
"Beth?"
Beth was swimming towards what remained of the dinghy. It lay in several ripped pieces, which floated on the surface. Her only concern was of something which had been inside the boat, and now might be sinking to the bottom. She heard her name being called, and when she turned around she saw it. The rucksack, on Kate's back. What she needed was inside, though Kate wouldn't be happy if she got it.
'Ah well' Beth thought to herself, 'that's the way things work I suppose. My days in the Holywell Swimming club shall not be in vain!'
And expertly, she dived beneath the surface.
"Where the hell is she!" Kate said who despite her frustration was beginning to get very worried. To make matters worse, the monsters vision was beginning to return, as the red in its eyes began to fade.
"BETH! Where are you?" Kate didn't have a chance to finish before Beth jumped up behind her and pulled the rucksack off.
"Beth what the HELL are you doing!"
Beth swam off quickly, clutching the bag. Kate stayed on the buoy, looking on while a bemused expression crossed her face. Beth continued to swim until she was near the monster, and then dived once more.
"Great, NOW where has she gone? Don't come running to me when you get eaten alive BETH!"
And then, Kate saw something that made her mouth gape. Beth was climbing up the back of the monster. She opened the rucksack, took out a box, and then chucked the rucksack in the water.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, MY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES ARE IN THERE!" And Kate dived in after the rucksack.
Beth meanwhile was now on top of the monster. She opened the box inside, where balls of tin foil lay piled on top of each other. She knew the argument this was going cause. What choice did she have? Hesitating at first, she took one of the balls, holding it in her hand and concentrating as she had done before. Slowly, smoke began to escape, and when the smell reached her nostrils, she opened her eyes and saw that the foil was now brandishing a healthy flame.
"Take this!" She threw it with all her strength so it hit the monster in the back of the head. Its mane caught fire, and the monster screamed. Beth grabbed on to its neck before she fell off.
Kate came to the surface, the bag in her hands. Her face filled with anger when she saw the box in Beth's hands.
"Beth! That is MY tin foil! Get your own!"
Beth continued to light balls of the foil in her hands, throwing them at the monster. It turned around, throwing her off its neck where it caught her in mid air with its teeth. She had just been lighting a piece of foil, which she now threw into the centre of its numerous eyes.
"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The monster screamed and Beth was dropped from its huge mouth. She fell heavily into the water.
"BETH!"
Kate dived under the water. She could see Beth sinking, blood escaping from her arm. She swam as fast as her small legs would allow her, grabbing her around the waist and pulling her towards the buoy.
The monsters head was on fire. It writhed in pain, screaming and cursing in its posh English accent.
"Curse you evil lower class peasants! Think I can't see you eh? I can still smell you, that foul disgusting smell!"
"It's Beth," Kate replied, "she always smells."
"SHUT UP KATE!"
The monster turned around, listening to where their voice came from.
"Well done Beth!"
"Shut up!"
They continued to bicker, and the monster came closer and closer to them.
"Crap!"
"What are we going to do!"
"Quick the Etulf!"
Beth rummaged into the rucksack, and took out a flute case. She assembled it, her hands shaking madly. She gave it to Kate, who closed one eye and began to aim it.
"QUICK KATE! GOD!"
The monster was now in front of them, laughing.
"And now my two smell infested peasants, you both die!"
"I wouldn't be so sure! They don't call us the Two Beacons of Red Light for nothing! And by the way, we both don't smell, it's just Beth.Toodles!" She threw the flute like a spear into the monsters heart. It pierced the skin and blood spurted out and into the water.
"Cool!" Kate said, while it sank below the surface.
"Cool? You have a weird sense of humour Kate."
The monster let out a final, blood curdling scream before it disappeared completely under the red, murky water.
"Phew! That really WAS a close one," Kate said.
"Well it wouldn't have come if YOU hadn't been singing so loud would it?"
Kate turned around. "Excuse me! You were the one who nicked MY foil and almost got yourself killed! You're lucky you still have your arm left! What would I have done if you'd been eaten alive by that thing!"
"Oh for gods SAKE," Beth shouted, "it's just pieces of tin foil, and besides, at least I TRIED to kill it instead of jumping into the ocean after a tin of chocolate brownies!"
Kate scoffed. "I'll have you know that you've ALWAYS nicked my tin foil, and I'm fed up of it! You almost got yourself killed you silly girl!"
They both glared at each other menacingly.
"I suppose YOU'RE going to think of a way for us to get to Guernsey now then are you? Since I'M so silly?"
Kate ignored her, but she was right. How were they going to get to Guernsey?
"I suppose we could always…."
"Oh PLEASE Kate, as if we're doing that!"
"Quite frankly Beth we have no other choice! You wanna be stuck out here then? Fine! I'll just go to Guernsey on my own."
"Believe me, I'D rather go on my own, going with you is my last option."
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
They both crossed their arms. They didn't do anything for 5 or 10 minutes, each of them was too angry at the other.
"Fine. We'll hover there." Beth said finally.
"Fine."
Ooooo an argument! One thing you must know about me and Beth is that we argue loads, and over the most stupid things aswell, such as nicking each others tin foil from sandwiches. You can guess what an Etulf is. Think of the Mirror of Erised ( is that how you spell it?). Hope you enjoyed that! Theres bound to be numerous grammer and spelling mistakes, but i'm afraid you'll have to deal with them for now!
