Chapter 8: Paranormal Ambush

Gwen's P.O.V

As I withdrew both of my swords from my pockets, pairs of four eyes stared at me as Noweizzy and Cody started to advance towards me. I really did not want to fight them, but at this point, I kind of had to if I wanted to be safe.

I started to sprint towards Noweizzy as I jumped on their back, clenching my swords in my hands. They suddenly jerked back, causing one of my swords to fly onto the ground, but I still held on to their multi-colored fur.

"How much longer till the eclipse is over?" I mumbled as I hit the side of Izzy's head, causing them to become unbalanced (the sword is more like a bat in this situation, not sharp.)

I heard that when you hit someone in the side of their head, it makes them unconscious, and that was my goal. When I looked to find Cody, he wasn't anywhere where I could see him. I had to knock Noweizzy out first though before I could fight him. The wound in my hand kept on spilling out blood as I continued to wave my sword around, this time knocking Noah in the side of the head, causing Owen to be the only conscious one.

He turned his head and tried to bite the sword out of my hand, but I quickly pulled it back as I jumped and swung at him as hard as I could. The good thing was that the universe was on my side at that moment, because I had successfully knocked out Noweizzy, but the bad this was that I had no idea where Cody could have been.

Based on what I saw earlier, he is trying to not attack me, or at least he knows what he was doing (because he was crying!) Also, I was in the dark again!

"Look for fire!" my words comforted me as my body walked aimlessly through the trees.

When I went to go pick up my other sword, it wasn't there! Oh great, he must've took it while I was busy fighting! Now, I was scared that my pet had a crazy powerful sword that could cut me in half in a second.

I started to run straggle along the ground as I seemed to move uphill. Where can I be? As my eyes looked back up in the sky, the stars had not even moved a bit! How long is this one going to last tonight, because if it doesn't end soon, Cody might kill me!

"I need to wrap my hand up soon, or my blood will leave a trail leading right to me," my thoughts yelled at me as I ran into something that was on the ground.

Suddenly, fire erupted from the tree right next to me, causing my surroundings to have light. When I stared down, Cody was just sitting there with my sword underneath him while he was holding his face with a scared and confused expression.

As I started to back up, his evilly glowing eyes stared up at me. I couldn't describe what I saw. It looked like he had been crying, and he was scared to come near me, maybe because he was going to hit me with my sword. But when he stared up into my eyes, he looked like the most scared person I've seen. Was he trying to keep himself under control?

He started to grab the sword as he stood up, but he had a hard time doing that.

"Cody, please don't hurt me!" I whimpered as he slowly started walking towards me with giant teardrops leaking out of his eyes.

I suddenly fell backwards into a tree, as he stood right in front of me, holding my sword right near my face. His arms were shaking so violently because he was trying not to swing at me. He started to hold it up as his eyes stared directly at my wound on my hand. Out of nowhere, he started to scream as he swung as hard as he can, but not in my direction. He actually sliced a giant trunk of a tree in half, causing it to fall over onto him! I heard a big gasp as it hit his body, pinning him to the ground.

Based on what I saw, he intended to do that because he didn't want to attack me anymore than he has already had.

"CODY!" I screamed as I ran over towards the tree, pulling half of his body out from underneath it.

When I looked up in the sky, the stars had started to move out of the way of the moon, causing the sky to turn back to its normal dark blue color. When I held his face, he opened his eyes and started to smile, as they flashed back to blue.

"I did it!" he whispered in a worn out voice as I smiled back at him.

"Yes you did!" I replied back to him in a sweet voice as I helped him out from underneath the trunk.

As he immediately sat up, he stared at my hand. I could tell that he was embarrassed from biting it.

"I'm SO sorry for biting you earlier, I couldn't control myself that well," his words burst out as he wiped the tears away from his face.

"How did you do it?" I asked him in a curious voice as we started to head back to the park with his tail swishing in the wind.

"I was really scared when all of this was happening. Its kinds hard to explain, but right as the curse come upon me, I felt as if I was locked up in a secured room, not having any control of my actions. But suddenly, when I saw everything thing that was happening, I felt as if I could break out of that room, so I started to be in control again by pushing back the VERY persuasive thoughts that came up in my head, and at one moment, it seemed as I myself was the enemy! Finally as if I had enough power, I realized that I was about to cut your head off, so I tried so hard to not swing the sword, but it was very hard. A rush of thoughts swarmed my mind as I started to scream to make them go away! The next thing I knew, the tree fell on top of me, and I was free from the room!" he explained in details as we went back into the clearing, seeing Noweizzy on the ground, sleeping.

"I kind of see what you are talking about, but that was incredible!" my words praised him as it looked as if an idea popped up in his head as he quickly flew into a tree and grabbed a leaf as big as a small dog.

He quickly tore it in half and wrapped it around my wound, like a band-aid, and it caused the bleeding to stop, so that was good! Now, I had to tell him about my plan.

"Cody, I have decided that we journey to Mount Halliwell to find IgIg and Ivihs, the beings that could help us undo the curse and heal you from the other curse! The only bad thing is that I have no idea where to go, and I also know that it'll take many days and weeks to get there, so we need to prepare a lot!" I explained as he stared at his palm, poking at the second gem that was now blood red.

"Okay, but we need to be careful at night because I don't think I could do that again, it wore me out," he said as he yawned.

I walked over to Noweizzy and tapped them, causing Noah to give a thumbs up indicating that they were okay. As I walked back to Cody, he started to mumble something.

"How come I had more powers last night? I couldn't posses people before!?" he said in confusion as he put his hand in his hair.

"I don't really know? We should start heading out though because its going to be a loooooooonnnngg time before we get to the mountain. The book said that we needed to head south, which is that way!" I pointed my finger behind us as we started to move in that direction.

"I can't wait for everything to be back to normal! I mean being a demon with fire powers is cool in all, but I miss reality," he whispered to me as I stepped over the fallen tree trunk as we began our journey.

After a few minutes, I decided to pull out the book. When I flipped through the pages, I started to read more about the journey to Mount Halliwell.

"As you keep on moving south, you'll first have to go through a graveyard that leads to a haunted mansion with many spirits in it. You have to go through it tho' to find the secret underground passage way that is somewhere in the halls of the mansion. As you follow through the passage, you'll end up on Echo Island, that has many dangerous sea creatures that lurk in the black waters," I started as Cody patiently listened as we continued walking.

"Ok, so we have to go through a spooky mansion no matter what if we want to be on the right path, right!?" he said In a confused tone, as I stared back at him and nodded.

"On Echo Island, you have to find the Hippocampus that will allow you to breathe underwater as it leads you to an special cave deep within the water, but beware of its weather controlling patterns, so you have to bring a gift to satisfy the creature because it is very particular," I said in a calm voice as I pondered at what kind of gift we could get it.

"Maybe, we could find something in the mansion!" Cody suggested as he suddenly stopped, staring down as we were at a top of a hill.

"This book is very wise! Whoever wrote it must be really smart," I told him, but he still stared down at the ground below us, causing my hands to shove the book back into my pockets.

I then realized at what he was looking at. Down below us was the graveyard, and it had purple mist all around it. When I stared at the sky above us, there was a big grey cloud that swirled around the graveyard.

"Are you ready?" I asked him as he looked scared to take another step into the death trap.

He slowly nodded as I grabbed his wrist, pulling him down the hill as I started to sprint all the way down. Right as we went on the border on the grey dirt, something didn't seem right; I couldn't see the mansion anywhere in front of me because the purple mist clouded over the area.

Cody went in first, lighting the end of his tail on fire, and the grabbed it to use like a torch. After a few steps, he started to suddenly bend over and cough.

"Are you okay?" I asked him as I felt as if we were being watched.

"Yeah yeah, I'm just feeling a little bit off right now," he mumbled as he got up again, to take a few more steps before stopping.

When we cautiously walked forward, I tripped over something. As I looked down, it was a rock grave, that had words engraved in it. As I took a closer look, it said, "Cody Anderson," on it, causing me to do a double take.

When I looked up again, I saw Cody's flame a few feet in front of me. Why did he leave me? Now, I was starting to get scared as I tried to catch up to him. When I finally did, he jumped back into my body causing us to both fall to the ground.

Out of nowhere, there was a scream coming from the distance, which made Cody scream as well. Then, the most disgusting thing happened next. When I stared down at his pants, I realized that he had peed himself.

"Cody, EW!" I shouted at him as my hands threw him off of me.

"So-Sorry, I feel woozy right no-now," I tried to say as he stood up and stared back at me.

Suddenly, I heard a thudding sound coming from in front of us, as it was getting closer. Out of nowhere, a long, ghostly white hand shout out of the mist as grabbed Cody's ankle, causing his fire to go out as he fell to the ground.

"Help MEEEEE," he screamed as he was quickly dragged into the mist at lightning speed.

"Oh no, what do I d-"I started but was then cut off as something hit me in the side of my head, causing me to fall unconscious, leaving me unprotected in this graveyard.
