Chapter 21: Journey to Ation's Island
"Goddamn it! We have to travel 1, 811 miles just to reach this guy?" Melissa complained the next day when Gloria reminded her about it.
"I know! I know," Gloria said. "Just calm down. I don't know how the hell we're going to get there. None of us can fly that far, not even you."
"Jess, can't you just teleport us there?" Ashley asked.
"No," Jessica replied. "I can't just say 'abra kadabra' and poof you there. I've told you guys a million times. I can only teleport 250 miles!"
"Wait. That's it!" Caitlin yelled. "Melissa, you know that one freaky, ugly form you can turn into?"
"Yeah. Thanks for the compliment," Melissa said sarcastically.
"Well that thing has six wings, so that should mean that it can fly farther. If one pair is tired, you can still use the other two, but it would be better to soar. Then when we only have 250 miles or less, Jess can teleport us," Caitlin explained.
Everyone just stared at her. "What?" Caitlin asked.
"Wow Cait, you do have a brain," Melissa complimented with a smile.
"Hey I'm not that stupid!" Caitlin retorted.
"You sure?"
"At least I'm smarter than you!"
"What?"
Gloria rolled her eyes and yelled, "Goddamn it guys! Let's go!"
"Let's go dudes," Melissa ordered.
She transformed into her other form, spread all six of her wings, and yelled, "All aboard!"
Ashley and Gloria became vampires and they were about to take off when Caitlin said, "Before we go, we should say a prayer or something like that."
"Why?" Ashley asked.
"Because this might be the last time we see Tranquility. We're going to our final battle with this guy and only God knows if we will return."
"You're right Cait. This could be our last time alive," Gloria said, as much as she hated to admit it.
Everyone agreed with Caitlin and said a silent prayer. They prayed that their friends and family would remain safe; that the city would not fall, and finally that they would return. They soon took off and after a minute or so, they took one last look at Tranquility, hoping against hope that they would return…alive.
