Muhhaha I'm so mean. All these cliff hangers.

All I knew was I had to get to the ocean without anyone seeing me. I was still made of water, but as soon as I got there, I had a thought. If I'm made of water, couldn't I just go through the pipes into the ocean? I mentally face palmed for being so stupid. But no time for that now. I had to get to the Amazon River. I ran down to the beach, fast as I could. I was almost there when I heard a shout. "Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" I looked behind me, not slowing down. "Oh, crud. Please no, leave me alone. Why does everything have to be difficult." There was about ten guys there, armed to the teeth. That gave me an extra energy boost. If I could just get to the water, I could swim away. I heard guns being loaded, and someone yelling, "Don't let him get to the water!" that spurred me on, and I dived into the water, when an image popped into my head. The currents were bending around me, making me go five times faster. Believe it or not, that's what happened.

I made it to the Amazon River just as the sun went down. I came up to look at how far I was, when I saw a flash of light. I'm guessing that's where I need to go. I swam to where the light went, where I saw Maria from school. "Hey, Maria!" she turned to look at me. "Who are you? Get out of here!" I crawled out of the water onto the sand. "Isle seven, room twenty." Her eyes narrowed, and then she said, "Follow me." I did what she asked, and we went to an old, old tree, with a twisted trunk. "Vete a casa, portaal, ouvert, grazie." I don't know how, but I knew she said, 'go home, portal, open, thank you.' I heard sounds like wood breaking, and the twisted trunk opened, creating a circle. I could see through it, but it was blurry. She stepped through, and I followed. Everything went black for a second, and I couldn't tell which way was up or down. After a few seconds, we found ourselves in the hospital. She ran off, and I followed. She ran down to where Tagiru was, and yelled to somebody, "Go get Fairlin! I need her over here now!" she ran inside, and put on some work gloves, and started to examine Tagiru.

My mom brought us over to where we were staying, to get us out of the way.

After what seemed like an hour, we were allowed back in. I kneeled next to Tagiru, who was awake, but laying down, and asked him, "Hey Tagiru, how you feeling? Well, I know your feeling lousy. I'm really sorry. If I had gotten there sooner, this would have never happened. I'm sorry." He turned his head to look at me and said, "Mikey, I know you got there as soon as possible, so don't blame yourself. Besides, I'll be fine, just ask Maria. Plus ice cream for breakfast, brownies for lunch, and candy for dinner. It's amazing, so you did me a favor." He smiled and gave a weak laugh, then yawned. Nene giggled, then said, "we'll let you sleep, Tagiru." I was just about to leave when I heard a voice behind me. "Hey, Mikey, can I talk to you a second?" I told my mom to go ahead, I would catch up. I headed back to Tagiru who said, "What's wrong with Yuu? He was acting weird." One of the doctors came in with some medicine, which Tagiru accepted, and then the doctor left. "Tagiru, listen, you know that purple gunk? Yuu got hit with it too. So now, he thinks that, I'm his master or something. It weird and I don't want that, I want him to go back to normal. You know, as if he had completely dodged the knife, and he had never gotten that gunk on him. It just, I'm worried about him." I sighed, and then stood up. "I have to go, I'll see you later, Tagiru." I waved, and he nodded, then I went back to my room.

I found Yuu there, watching TV. "Hey, Yuu, how you doing?" he put his head on my chest. "I'm worried about Tagiru. You are too, right?" I nodded, and we turned back to the show he was watching. "Mikey, I wanna go home. People should be missing us, and I don't want you to worry." I ran a hand through his hair. "I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about Tagiru, and I'm worried about you as well. I want you to go back to normal, as though you never got hit with that purple gunk." He shuffled a little, so he was sitting right in my lap. I wrapped my arms around his waist. "I'm sorry; I don't want you to worry, ok? I'm sorry, sorry." I smiled, and said, "Its ok, it wasn't your fault, Yuu, you shouldn't be sorry. I looked at the clock, and saw it was almost bed time. "Come on, it's time for bed." we headed into the bathroom to get ready, and when we came out, Yuu asked, "Can I sleep with you, please? I mean, in the same room? I'll sleep on the floor, you can have the bed." I gave a nod, and I went over to the closet to grab a blanket and a pillow. Yuu helped me lay out the blanket and pillow on the ground. I got into bed, and Yuu laid down, and I said goodnight. I turned over, and went to sleep.

I had the worst nightmare; I was standing on a rocky ledge above lava, and I saw someone standing on a ledge opposite me, it looked like a girl, but she had long white hair, draping down her back, her shoulders, and going over the edge of the rock ledge. I couldn't see her face thanks to all her hair, but I could tell she was looking at me. I tried to yell at her, 'who are you!? What do you want!?' but my voice didn't work. She gave a laugh, and then jumped over to my platform. I tried to step back, but I couldn't move my legs, but then she grabbed me, and pushed me into the lava.

I woke up, sweating bullets. I looked over at Yuu, who was still asleep. I laid back down, and went back to sleep.

I opened my eyes, and found I was in a circus. I looked at myself, and found I was a naked, and on all fours. A girl approached me, and said "Jump! Come on, you stupid beast! Jump, through the hoop!" As she said that, a flaming hoop appeared, and I knew, there was no way I was jumping through that. A whip appeared in her hands, and she whipped it at my feet. Scared, I jumped through it, but she did it again, making me jump again. She did it about five more times. When she was done, I was exhausted, but she grabbed me, and held me up for everyone to see, but everyone laughed, making me blush madly. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I punched her in the face and ran, just ran for my life. I ran out the place that said exit, but there were about five people behind the curtain. They grabbed me, and I saw Yuu, with a blank expression on his face. "Yuu! Help me! Come on, help your master!" I yelled at him. He looked at me and said, "You're not my master. She is." As he said that, a girl appeared behind him. She was the same girl from my previous nightmare. I looked at her and yelled, "What did you do to him!? Leave him alone!" she laughed and said, "Destroy him, my minion." With that, Yuu lunged forward, causing me to wake up at the last possible moment.

As I woke up, I gave a scream, which woke Yuu up. "Oh, Yuu I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. He groaned, and blinked, then said, "Mikey, what happened? One moment I got hit by the knife, the next I'm here. What happened, just tell me, please, I'm so confused…" I smiled, and I could tell he was a little confused when I leapt at him, and hugged him. I backed off and told him the whole story, including Tagiru. "Wow, I just, that's so weird. And he wasn't, I don't know, infected at all? I need to see him, please." I nodded but said, "Fine, but first you need to see your sister." He gasped, and then went pale. "She's alright isn't she? I mean, no weird things happening with her. Please tell me she's ok, I don't want her to get hurt." I giggled, and then ruffled his hair. "First though, back to bed. It's one o' clock in the morning." He nodded then flopped down on the pillows. "Goodnight, Mikey. Thanks for taking care of me." I smiled, and then said, "Any good friend would have done it, Yuu. Just go to sleep." He nodded and closed his eyes.

I couldn't get any sleep, for three reasons. One, the nightmares I had were too much, I didn't want to go back to sleep. Two, I was worried about Yuu. Three, I was wondering about something Yuu said. How come Tagiru wasn't infected? Did it have something to do with his heritage? He should have been acting weird, at least, but not my slave. How come he wasn't infected? How come he wasn't infected? How come… Before I could finish the thought I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up on a beach, feeling weird. I opened my eyes, and sat up. I heard someone say, "Oh, not another one, we're miles away." Judging on voice alone, I'd say the speaker was a boy. "Oh be quiet, she sent us out here for a reason." That voice was a girl, definitely. I looked down at myself, and found I was naked. They were too close, if I ran, they could easily catch up with me. If I stayed here, they would see me. That would be embarrassing. I was still making a decision when they came over the rocks, spotting me. "Hey, what are you doing!?" I blushed madly, and tried to hide, ahem, myself. Someone came down to me, and wrapped a blanket around me. I grabbed it, and pulled it tighter around myself. "Hey, can you stand? We want to get you to a hospital, ok?" I shook my head, and then said, "I'm not going to a hospital. You can't make me." The person kneeled down and said, "Hey, we know you're special. We're not going to hurt you, we want to help you." I looked at him. "Promise you won't hurt me?" he nodded. "I promise. I can give you a piggy back ride if you want." There was a roll of thunder, but we ignored it. I shook my head, and climbed to my feet. He seemed surprised, but helped me climb over the rocks to the sand. The girl offered me her sandals, which I refused. We walked for a while, finally coming to a small building, which we entered. I lot of people turned to look at me, and I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks. The boy put a hand on my shoulder, and steered me into a side room, where there was a bed, and some hospital supplies. I sat down on the bed, and the boy asked me to take off the blanket. I reluctantly agreed, and a doctor came into the room. "I'll be right outside, ok?" I nodded, and he left the room. "Hey, can you lay down on the bed for me, please?" I nodded, and did what he asked.

He checked me over for injuries, and then finally gave me some clothes. He led me outside, where the boy was waiting. "Hey, kiddo, how do you feel about coming home with me?" If I didn't come home with him, who knows where I would go? I didn't want to live on the streets. I nodded, and said, "My names Mikey." He smiled and then said, "My name is Leo. Come on, I'll show where I live." He stood up and placed a hand on my shoulder.

We headed to a small building, which had a number sixteen on the right side of the door. We headed inside, to find a simple kitchen, with a table nearby; there was a flight of stairs, and a hatch in the floor, probably the basement. There was a door to the left of us. "Go ahead and explore. I'll make some lunch." I smiled at him. I started to head up the stairs, to find two bedrooms and a full bathroom. I went back downstairs, to go through the door to the left. Inside was the living room, with a TV, a blue three seater couch, and a coffee table. There was a pot of blue and red flowers on the table, and a shelf full of movies underneath the TV. There was a bookshelf on the right side, next to the window.

As I looked at the titles, there were some strange books including 'Demons of Fire and Ice' and 'A Mermaids Life' as well as 'Magic and How to fight it' and 'How to Cook with Demons'. There was 'Viruses and What They Do', 'The Oddities and Their Abilities', 'They Story of Darkness', 'Dragon Fire Storm', 'Different Dragons', 'Inventions of the Ages', 'Gods of Different Times', 'The Story of Regen', 'The Brianiac', 'The Dragon Twins', 'The Story of Avatar' and 'Out of Control'.

"Hey, Mikey! Come get lunch, alright?" I ran into the kitchen, to find Leo had made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I grabbed some and sat down at the table. "Hey, I was looking at the titles of your books, and a few of them were kind of weird. Are they supposed to be like that?" he laughed and said, "Yes they are. There's a special bookstore a few minutes from here, if you want to check it out. Its right next to a perfume place, so it always smells nice." I nodded and we finished our lunch, then as we headed out, Leo said, "We need to grab some stuff for you too. I need to grab some things I ordered a few days ago as well. I hope you don't mind walking a bit." He ruffled my hair, and we walked out the door.

We headed to a market, and I wish I had fifteen more eyes. There was too much to look at, I saw strange foods, amazing fabrics, live animals, toys, books, anything you could imagine. As Leo was looking at fruits, I was next door looking at some strange animals I have never seen before. One who really interested me was like a scaly bird, as well as a rat with gills and a fish tail. There was a bat with a loin's mane, but one that freaked me out was a skeleton dog. I mean, he was definitely a dog, but it was just the bones. There was also a zombie cat, which liked me, but freaked me out when I first saw it. There was a frog with tiger stripes and a hamster which looked like it was made of glass.

We went over to a food stand for dinner, where Leo got some fruit which he called 'eyeball fruit', while I got a little of everything. I got some tender meat, which was very good. There was also some spicy fruit, which was unexpected, Leo laughed at me for that.

We had to go back to Leo's place as the sun went down. I decided to sleep on the couch, just for tonight. Leo grabbed a blanket and a pillow, and I went over to the couch, and lay down. "See you in the morning, Leo." I said to him as he went upstairs. "Goodnight, Mikey." I turned over and closed my eyes, falling asleep right away.

Finally! No cliffhanger! Yeash, they were starting to get me now.
