Chapter 26: "Don't!"
Grace's POV
My face was grim when I realized that Skalidor was poisoned with the Oojaun berry. I told the girls. "I don't much experience with this, but I'll try my best. Haley, can-" "Get some pain relieving herbs? On it." she left the room. "What can we do?" Cindy asked, twisting a piece of her hair. "Could you guys boil some water for me?" they nodded as I went back to check on Skalidor. I know I shouldn't help the enemy but, they aren't all that bad. Just have the wrong motives. Like Emily for example, she loves her dad and doesn't seem like she would hurt a fly. I saw her tending to her father. Another Constrictai kneeling next to her. "Hello." I said. They turned to me. "Oh, hello Gracccce. Thissss iss my mother." "Oh, are you a friend of Emily'ssss?" "Well, we've been helping with her father." her eyes slightly glazed over. "Can you heal him?" I hesitated. "I'll try my best." they nodded and looked at Skalidor. I hope the boys don't do anything stupid.
Cole's POV
Kai had been a bit upset that we had to wait until the next day to look for the girls. "Why can't we go now?" he asked. "Chris and Kristi went to visit a friend. We need someone to watch over the Bounty." "Why can't Sensei or one of the other Garmadon's?" I facepalmed. "They took the day off to go tea shopping." Kai sighed, obviously angered, and headed out to the deck. Now we all stood on the edge of the bounty, clutching our swords. "Okay everybody, do you know the plan?" they all nodded. We let down the anchor a few miles from Orobourus and climbed down the chain. We all snuck in past some Fangprye guards. I spotted Haley. I signaled to the others and looked around. Seeing that no one else was in the room, we dropped down. "Haley! Where are the others?" Zane asked. "Guys! You aren't supposed to be here!" she hissed, looking around. "What? Why not?" I asked. "We're helping Skalidor-" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute! You're helping the bad guys?!" "Jay, you don't understand! Skalidor ate some poisonous berries because they're dying from starvation!" "So?" "He's got a family! What do you want me to do, leave him to die?! Wait, ugh where's Kai?!" we looked around, noticing Kai was gone. "Ugh, great..." "Look, let's get the others, get outta here, and come back with the cure or something! Okay?" she sighed and nodded. Cindy's POV
We finished boiling the water so I went to look for Haley. "Psh, Cindy." I turned around, swearing I heard something. "Cindy, up here." I looked up and saw Kai. He dropped down and I slapped him across the face. "OW! What was that for?!" "That was for scaring me. Why are you here?" "To save you! Duh!"I sighed. "I don't need your saving!" before he could argue, Skales came in. "So, trying to escape are you?" "Um, yep!" we both took off running. We ran into the Slither Pit... only to find more snakes waiting for us. "Snap!" Kai pulled out his sword. I took out my morning star, swinging it around. Almost all the snakes pulled out a sword. Some pulled out spears... and one pulled out a ham sandwich. I laughed and struck it out of his hand. Kai rushed forwards, swinging his swords. I glanced over my shoulder to make sure he was okay. I looked back to see Skales standing in front of me with a sword. I let out a small squeak at how close it was to my stomach. There wasn't enough room for me to knock out his hands, and I was frozen in fear. "Cindy!" I glanced over my shoulder to see Kai running towards Skales. "Don't!" he ran in front of me and I held my arms up in a 'X'. I felt the wind pick up as I started glowing a light blue-ish white-ish. "Leave! Him! Alone!" I heard thunder and felt rain pelting down in hard torrents. A strong wind picked up and blew Skales away. I started getting drowsy as the wind died down and I fell over, only barely seeing the others run to my side as the Snakes fled.
