Chapter 12: Secrets Exposed
Cody's P.O.V
The whole cave was filled with water now. There was no oxygen anywhere, and no escape. My eyes quickly looked at Gwen to find her with her eyes closed and her mouth open, sending bubbles into the water.
I was in control, so that was good! How am I going to make a hole now?
"C'mon Cody, use your powers! Just put your hands up against the wall and feel the energy!" the Voice echoed throughout my mind as I followed what it told.
I quickly put my hands up and closed my eyes, feeling energy surge throughout my hands. What are all of my new powers? Wait, I can't stay in this form forever. Suddenly, my body was blown back as my eyes opened to see a bright red light shoot through the wall. The hole was as big as sewer hole (gross.) Suddenly, we were starting to get sucked into it as the water started rushing through.
My hands reached out for Gwen as I held her close to me as the water took us up.
"We're almost out of oxygen!" my thoughts screamed as I saw a light coming up from above us.
Out of nowhere, the water carried us out of the hole, causing us to fly through the air and slam into the ground. I landed right next to Gwen, causing my thoughts to rush. As my body leaned over her, I listened for her breathing, but I couldn't hear any.
"CPR!" the voice told me as my hands went on top of her chest, and began giving her CPR.
After a few seconds, she suddenly coughed up water as she moaned in pain. She was going to be okay!
"Gwen," I whispered in a raspy voice, which was weird because my voice normally doesn't sound like that.
Her breathing started to go at a steady pace as my red eyes started to look around at the surroundings. The weird thing was that the forest we were in looked exactly like the forest on Wawanakwa Island, except that there was thick fog everywhere and everything looked mysterious. When my eyes got back to the water (which was now a geyser,) I realized that there was another hole that was inches away from our hole.
Are you kidding me! Where was that other hole's entrance!? My eyes went back to Gwen, as I stared at her wound on her hand. Suddenly, I got the urge to make some more blood spill. WAIT! NO! I have to stay in control. Out of nowhere, I grabbed her arm and held it with a tight grip with both of my hands.
"Gwen, wake up!" my voice once again whispered as she began to moan again, and then I realized why she was doing that.
When I looked back down, I realized that my claws had begun pushing into her skin, leaving six red circles along her arm! I quickly dropped her arm and began to quickly back away from her. I have to change back! Suddenly, she started to sit up, which caused me to panic and quickly jump up into a tall tree.
My eyes watched from behind the giant dark green leaves as she stood up and rubbed her eyes. She looked so beautiful, even though we were just in water. She doesn't understand how much I love her! But she likes DUNCAN! Ugh, how that infuriates me! Suddenly, I noticed that she glanced up at where I was, which caused me to yelp (I do not know why I did that!)
And then, I realized that where my hands were, fire erupted from the bark! Gwen can't see me like this, and… I can't go by her because I don't know if I could keep in control. As I closed my eyes, questions showered throughout my mind as I continued to sit on the hidden branch.
"How do I change back!?" I frantically asked the Voice, which took a few seconds to reply back.
"It goes naturally! Just wait. You are in your strongest form right now, so I don't understand why you wouldn't want to stay in it!" it replied, but it already knew my answer.
"Go attack that girl!" one of my thoughts screamed as I then realized something.
All of that testing, all of the needles caused me to have the Voice and to transform like this without the moonstarlight! Also, what is the Revolution!? Katie and Sadie kept on mentioning that whenever I was around!
"CODY! WHERE ARE YOU!" I heard Gwen shout from below as I kept on watching her.
I can't stay up here forever! Besides, Gwen is looking for me! There has to be a way for me to hide my transformed form without her noticing. The next thing I knew, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the X-Ray glasses from that one time in the Amazon. After what happened, I somehow broke it so that it wouldn't have X-Ray vision anymore because I didn't want to upset Gwen anymore. I know it's silly that I still have them, but for some reason, I do!
So the glasses will hide my disturbing eyes, but what about my teeth and claws? I could try not to talk and put my hands in my pockets… how on Earth is this going to work!?
Out of nowhere, the tree shook me out of it because the water somehow shook it, causing me to fall out. As I landed right in front of Gwen, I quickly put my glasses on, which caused her to scowl (Because she thought that the glasses still had X-Ray vision.)
"There you are! Are you alright, because I must've gotten banged up because I have wounds all along my right arm! And you better take those stupid glasses!" she quickly told me before leaning down to help me up, but I shook my head because I didn't want to grab her hand.
I could feel the urge to attack her as she came closer to me, but I had to remain in control or she'll get hurt! I could also feel that I was starting to lose my insanity again. When am I going to change back!?
As I stood up, the fog suddenly seemed to come towards us!
"How do we get out of here again?" I quietly asked in the same raspy voice as I tried not to face her, and could tell she noticed that.
"We are in Revealious Forest, and it's basically a never ending labyrinth with strange things that happen every so often, and the only way out of it is to tell a lot of our deepest darkest secrets!" she told me as she came even closer to me!
"Please Gwen, go away from me! At least a few feet. Please go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go away!" my thoughts rushed throughout my head as I felt like attacking her.
Suddenly, the fog completely surrounded us, causing all of the light to go away. As the tip of my tail caught fire, I started to turn in her direction and stare at her. After a few seconds, she noticed something was up.
"Cody, why do you have the glasses on anyways? Seriously, there is no reason why," she awkwardly asked me as I tried to walk closer to her, but I caught myself.
"Umm (think Cody think,) when we were coming out of the hole, uhh, my face slammed into a rock, causing it to bleed, and I didn't have any bandages…" I quietly mumbled, trying to make it sound real.
I didn't like lying to Gwen, but I had to do what I had to do. I can't believe I've been in control this long so far, am I actually not going to hurt Gwen this time!?
"Okay-, soooo, we need to keep walking and I guess we have to tell each other our secrets, hehe," she sweetly told me as I continued to stay as far away from her without her noticing me doing that.
I wonder what secrets she has! But I can't tell her mine, well, I need to find another one to tell her besides this whole thing.
"Once, when I was little, in daycare, I had to go in a bucket and act cute to help out my friends get to our teacher's computer to stop one of their parents from coming to the daycare! I know, why would I go in a bucket!" she bravely said as we continued through the thick fog.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the distance from in front of us, causing us to stop in our tracks. When I looked back at her, I realized she started to take off the leaf bandage from the wound I gave her during the whole Fountain of Youth situation. I still feel very sorry about that, but it seems that I have more control from before, but I shouldn't jinx it. Oh when am I going to change back!?
"Hey, look, it's healed somehow!" Gwen cheerfully said as she tapped my shoulder, causing my body to swiftly turn at her and tackle her to the ground.
But at the same moment, another loud noise erupted from the distance! I could use that as an excuse for why I did that! Uh-Oh, I'm losing control!
"Co-Cody, it's alright, please get off me, you need to tell me a secret now!" she quickly stated as she suddenly reached for my hand!
"Help me!" I shouted at the Voice as she grabbed it.
When I looked back down, I realized I didn't have claws anymore, whew! When she help me up, I stared back at her into her beautiful brown eyes! Maybe I should tell her my love for her, but I guess she already knows that .-.
"This might make you mad, but remember that one time when you got a sunburn on your hand… I accidently caused that because I was trying to get a picture with you but then I accidently knocked an umbrella to the side, exposing the sunlight to your hand while you slept in a lawn chair," I quietly said in an ashamed tone as I poked at my non-pointy teeth, but when she looked my way, I knew she was going to say something about it.
"IT WAS YOU! Never mind that, that was in the past," she started to shout but then calmed herself as she graciously held my hand as we continued through the fog.
There it is again! She is holding my hand! Maybe I should ask her if she likes me!?
"Umm, Gwen, I've been meaning to ask this for a long time because I've been noticing that you keep on holding my hands and hugging me a lot, but, do you like me?" I bravely asked as she began to blush!
I, Oh, she just blushed! Does that mean yes!?
"No no Cody, uhh, I like Duncan! But I guess you are my best friend now! I like you as a friend and a pet!" she quickly remarked as she waved her hands around in the fog.
Oh, then never mind… but I'll never stop loving her, even if she doesn't love me! I swear that I will never betray her and always be loyal to her, no matter what happens in the future ٩(●ᴗ●)۶
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the ground started to violently shake as the whole forest went dead silent. Out of nowhere, the fog started to swirl around us like a tornado, causing us to lose our balance! But then I realize it was trying to separate us, so I quickly grabbed onto her hands as it tried to pull us part from each other.
"What's going on!?" my words shouted through the bustling wind from the fog as my grip was loosening!
"Did we say something wrong!?" she shouted back at me as my hands completely let go of hers as we flew up into the air.
As I tried to fly out of this, something hard hit one of my wings, causing me to scream in pain. Then, the next thing I knew, we were thrown into a tree with a big drop tunnel. As we fell through it, we both landed on top of each other with a hard thud!
Pain seared throughout my body as I noticed something that I did not notice before. I still had red vision, and my glasses flew off somewhere! Am I changing back already!? I suddenly lit my tail on fire as I waved it around to look at the surroundings. It seems that we were in some sort of secret garden, but it was dark right now (there was no sunlight or anything at that moment in time.)
I turned and looked at Gwen, who started to sit up in place.
"Cody, where are-" she started but stopped when she looked into my eyes as a nervous expression went across her face.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant vine came from behind her and wrapped around her body and quickly pulled her back into the dark as I stood there helplessly.
"GWEN!" I shouted but I then noticed that the book flew out of her pocket, and landed right in front of me.
The pages started to flip to the page with the description of the forest. Suddenly, one of the sentences glowed in golden letters as it read,"If one person tells a lie in the forest, one of many strange things will happen! You cannot hide anything in Revealious Forest!"
Wait, that means… OH!
