Week of November 28 - Secret Diary #2
1 week has passed since I told Goliath and his clan about Draven, and I'm glad that I don't have to keep him a secret anymore. The rest of the clan get along well with Draven, though they treat him as if he is a king, much to Draven's annoyance. I can't blame them as Draven is a legend among Gargoyles, Wizards, and Witches for his powerful magic.
Anyway, I had woken up from a nap, and it was also sunset. I was feeling a bit odd, and I walked to look myself in the mirror, and I saw my nose looking a bit red.
"Oh,crap, don't tell me, I'm sick.", I moaned to myself as I have been taking good care of myself in the past week. How did I get sick!?
You think i'm overreacting? Well, I'm not! You see, when I get sick, it messes with my magic, and every time I sneeze, my magic does something. I then walked to the kitchen to see if I still had that herb as it's the only thing that can cure me of my sickness, and to my dismay, I didn't have any.
"Aw, damn it!", I groaned loudly, and then Draven came out of the necklace. "Draven, bad news. I'm sick, and there's no herb left.", I said in frustration as Draven then touched my forehead.
"This is very bad. You know how your magic can get out of control every time when you sneeze.", Draven said with a wince. "Well, the good news is, that I haven't sneezed yet.", I said with a weak smile.
"You have to let Goliath and the others know about this.", Draven said with a patient sigh. "Yeah, they will be asking me a lot of questions.", I nodded, muttering softly.
"I will fly you there, Sally.", Draven said with a encouraging smile, and then I heard knocking on my door. I went over to open it to see my sister. "Hey, Sally, ready to go see the others? Elisa is already there.", Morgan asked with a grin.
"Yep, Draven was just about to take me there, wanna come with us?", I said with a shrug. "Sally, your nose looks a bit red...oh god, don't tell me you're sick.", Morgan said, moaning lightly in helpless frustration.
"I'm afraid I am.", I said with a weak chuckle. "Let's go.", Draven said with a sigh, and he then used his telekinesis to make us fly alongside him. We then arrived at the clock tower at the exact same time when the gargoyles are waking up from their stone sleep, and Goliath then noticed me.
"Hi, Sally. Wait, what's wrong? Sally, you look a bit red.", Goliath asked in concern after smiling as he went over to me. "Are you sick?", Elisa asked in worry.
"I'm going to have to explain to all of you about this.", Draven said thoughtfully as everyone followed him inside the clock tower. Draven, I and Morgan started explaining to the Gargoyles about why I shouldn't get sick.
"Whoa, so your magic gets out of control every time you sneeze.", Brooklyn said in awe and a bit bewilderment. "If so, what can we do to heal you?", Goliath asked in curiosity and concern.
"There is a special herb that can cure Sally in a few hours, and I make it with chicken soup. Unfortunately, we don't have any, but I do know that somewhere in the mountains of New York, there is a group growing there.", Draven elaborated lightly.
"That's great! Should we go search for it?", Elisa said with a nod and grin. "I'll go search for it as I need all of you to look after Sally.", Draven said sternly as he looked at us all.
"No problem, Draven as long as I..ah..ah..", I said, but then I felt myself going to sneeze. "Shit! She's going to sneeze!", Morgan screamed as she ducked for cover.
"Ah..ACHOOO!", I sneezed loudly. I then looked around, and I saw that I had made cakes appear on Broadway's table. "That's not actually bad as I love cake!", Broadway grinned happily as he ran joyously to his table.
"Why is Morgan scared about this?". Goliath asked. Hudson replied, "Perhaps it isn't just good intentions, it could be bad intentions as well.",
Lexington shrugged lightly, "Either way, Broadway looks very happy.", "Draven, what about you? Aren't you affected by Sally's sneeze?", Elisa asked in confusion.
"I'm not. I must now go find the herb, but Sally can still contact me through the necklace. Let me know if anything else happens.", Draven said with a comforting nod as he then flew off.
"I don't think that your magic got out of control.", Brooklyn said with a smile. "I agree.", Broadway said with a wide grin as he then scooped a mini cake into his mouth.
"Oh, you haven't what my sneezes can..ah...ah..ACHOOO!", I sneezed again as I shook my head lightly. "Okay, did anything else appear?", Elisa asked as she sorta looked around.
"No, everything seems the same." Goliath said with a shrug, then I heard Brooklyn laughing. "What's funny, Brooklyn?", Morgan asked curiously with a smile.
"Look what that sneeze did to Broadway.", Brooklyn pointed while chuckling. I then saw that I had changed Broadway's outfit to a cowboy. "Sorry, Broadway." I said with a chuckle.
His outfit is exactly like Woody's outfit from Toy Story. I was relieved that there was no gun in the holster as I knew that Broadway hates guns.
"It's actually pretty cool! I got the hat and everything!", Broadway grinned. "Even though it's funny, I think we should take this more seriously.", Elisa said warily. I nodded, and then I felt another sneeze coming.
"Not again...Ah..ACHOOO!", I sneezed loudly, and Goliath patted my back comfortingly. When I turned to stare at Elisa, I couldn't hold my giggling. "What's so funny?", Elisa asked in confusion.
"Elisa, look in the mirror.", Morgan said with a snicker and giggle, and Elisa went over to look at herself in the mirror. She gasped in surprise, screamed, "What the hell?! You changed my outfit to a freaking Catwoman suit!".
"Sorry." I said with a weak shrug. "So far, your sneezing has only changed outfits.", Hudson said with a chuckle. I nod as I glanced at Elisa again. Her Catwoman suit is the version from the TV show, 'The Batman', and I got to admit if Blaze saw her right now, Elisa would be all red-faced from embarrassment if he complimented her something.
"I'm afraid that's not the only thing her sneezing can do.", Morgan said with a conflicted look as she was petting Bronx, and I then went over to grab a tissue. Once again, I sneezed, and I saw Morgan fall to the ground, letting out a yelp of surprise.
"Morgan, you okay?", Brooklyn asked in concern as he went over to help her up. "I'm fine, but I don't get it. I was petting Bronx, and then I felt myself fall over...wait.", Morgan said as she realized something, and she turned her head around to search for Bronx.
"Bronx!", Morgan shouted in horror, and we then heard small barking. Then I saw Bronx...but he is a puppy!"Bronx, oh my goodness, that sneeze must have deaged him back into a puppy.", Morgan said in amazement and awe.
"Who knew that Bronx looked so small and cute as a puppy.", Brooklyn said with a whistle as Bronx started barking at him, but it only made him look adorable. "It's okay, Bronx.", Morgan cooed comfortingly as she picked him up.
"Okay, now I'm getting scared at what your sneezing can do.", Lexington said nervously. "Can't you stop your sneezing?", Elisa asked as she looked at me desperately.
"I can, but only if I stop myself from sneezing completely.", I said. "Great.", Elisa said sarcastically, and then I felt myself starting to sneeze.
"Cover your nose!", Morgan shouted. I tried to, but it was too late as I already sneezed. "Is everyone okay? Did any of you get affected?", I asked around as I looked around in worry.
"I'm still okay.", Goliath said with a relieved grin. "Me too.", Brooklyn said with a relieved smile.
"I'm still in one piece.", Lexington said with a relieved chuckle. "I am alright.", Hudson spoke lightly. I widened my eyes in shock as I heard Hudson's voice high-pitched like if he had inhaled a balloon!
I saw Broadway, Lexington, and Brooklyn laugh at him as Elisa and Goliath were struggling to hide their chuckling. "Oh, that's priceless..Sally's sneeze made your voice high-pitched!", Brooklyn laughed as he slapped his knees, heaving over.
"Oh, god, that's the most hilarious thing I had ever saw!", Broadway bellowed in laughter. "Never expected that today of all days!", Lexington laughed heartily.
"I am so sorry, Hudson, but that was the funnest thing I have ever heard!", Goliath chuckled merrily. "I never thought I'd have a funny day, but here it is!", Elisa giggled among her chuckles.
"I never expected to be funny today.", Hudson spoke with a glare at the others, but that made the others laugh again at hearing the high-pitched tone of his voice.
"I think it's best that you don't talk, Hudson.", I said with a giggle/laugh, nearly feeling that my gut's busting out. "At least your magic isn't doing anything harmful.", Lexington said with a giggle.
"Well, I'm gla..ah..ah..ah..ACHOO!", I sneezed even more louder this time. "?yako uoy era", Lexington asked, and then he froze as I widened my eyes in dismay and shock.
Oh, crap, I made Lexington talk backwards, and I can't even understand a word he is saying! "That's a problem. How are we going to understand him if he is talking backwards?", Broadway asked in bewilderment and worry.
"!flesym dnatsrednu neve t'nac I", Lexington exclaimed in surprise. (He said I can't even understand myself!) "Okay, I think you should stop talking now!", Brooklyn said, wincing lightly.
"!em ot yas uoy did tahW" Lexington said, glaring at Brooklyn. (He said What did you say to me?) "That's enough, you two!", Morgan said as she moved between the boys, glaring at them both.
"She's right. This is no time for a fight.", Elisa said with a nod. "Can't we do anything to help Sally stop sneezing?", Broadway asked in worry.
"I'm afraid that I won't be fine until Draven finds the herb.", I said, biting my lip nervously. "Then what are we going to do in the meantime, Sally?", Goliath asked in curiosity.
"Well, so far, we have to wait. At least, I haven't affected you, Morgan or Brooklyn...yet.", I said with a quiet gulp. "Well, I'm glad.", Brooklyn said in relief. I smiled, but then I felt myself getting ready to sneeze again, and I could see Goliath trying to stop me from sneezing, but it was too late.
"Okay, which of us got affected?", Morgan asked, looking between Brookyln and Goliath. "Not me.", Brooklyn said, surrendering his hands lightly, and I then turned to look at Goliath.
"Goliath?", I asked anxiously. Goliath opened his mouth to speak, but instead of words, out came a song!
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
He then placed his hands over his mouth as I then placed a hand over my mouth to stop myself from laughing, but I was failing. I had made Goliath sing instead of talk! I saw that everyone else was trying to hold their laughter, but it wasn't working.
Goliath opened his mouth, and then again,
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
We all then busted out laughing. "Goliath, oh, that's so funny!", I said as I hugged myself, heaving over. "Who knew that Goliath can sing 'Circle of Life'?!". Elisa laughed as she caught herself upon a wall.
"I agree with that!", Morgan said, giggling uproariously, and I could see Bronx laughing too, giving out bark-like chortles. "Turning words into a song!", Hudson laughed, his high-pitched voice making the others laugh harder.
"Oh, stop! That's getting way crazy!", Brooklyn laughed heartily. "Who knew that a sneeze of magic can do this wicked funny stuff?!", Broadway roared with laughter.
"!me gnirutort er'uoY", Lexington screamed in laughter. (You're torturing me!") I could see Goliath getting frustrated with himself as every time he would open his mouth, he would sing instead of talk.
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
"I'm sorry, Goliath. Until Draven brings the herb, you're all going to stay like this.", I said giggling. "What do you mean?" Elisa asked in surprise and shock.
"After I drink the herb with soup, all the spells I cast with my sneeze on you will be gone.", I said with a helpless shrug. Goliath opened his mouth again.
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
"Sorry.", I said, giving him a weak sheepish smile.
