Tight secrets
In the forest, Phobos cut off the top of a huge pine tree. He spotted his hawk coming toward him, with something in its talons. He grabbed the object as the hawk dropped it. It was a little doll. He sniffed it and his eyes widened in surprise. He jumped from the tree in front of his army.
"What do you see?" Phobos asked as he tossed the doll to Frost.
Frost looked closely at it. "Black pine from the high mountains and white horse hair from the imperial army," He said.
Another part of the army, the shape shifter Miranda took the doll and sniffed it. "I smell gun powder, from cannons," She said giving Phobos back the doll
"This doll came from a village in the mountain pass, where Queen Elyon's army is waiting to attack us," Phobos said, absolute certainty in his voice.
"Well no problem, we simply go around the pass and not bother with them," Miranda said.
Phobos shook his head. "No we cannot. The quickest way to the Imperial city is through the pass. Besides the little girl will be missing her doll. We should return it to her," He said with an evil smile.
Back the army camp, it was night time and Will was standing in the bushed next to a lake, preparing to take a long needed and desired bath after days of training. Irma wasn't so thrilled through.
"Will this so not a good idea, what if someone sees you!"
"Irma, just because I look like a man, it doesn't mean I have to smell like one," Will retorted.
Irma and Blunk turned around as Will stepped out of the bushes. "So a couple of guys don't wash their socks! Picky, picky, picky! I still think that-!"
She was cut off when Will splashed into the water. Will sighed enjoying the warm water. Irma held out a towel.
"Okay you've had your fun, now come on out before you get all wrinkly and stuff!" Irma demanded.
"Relax already, Irma!" Will laughed. "Just go and stand watch if you're that worried."
Irma scowled as she walked to where Blunk was standing. "Oh, and by that do you mean, 'go and stand watch Irma, while I blow our secret with my stupid, freaking, girly habits'?" She turned to Blunk and scoffed. "Hygiene. It's gonna start up world war 3 I swear it is!" Irma cried.
Blunk turned and his eyes widened in alarm. "Blunk this girly have bigger thing to worry about then cleaning war!" He cried.
"What are you talk-" Irma stopped short when she saw Nigel, Eric, and Caleb running to the lake. "Oh, no! We're doomed. There are a couple of things about Will I know those guys are bound to notice!" Irma cried, running toward the lake.
Nigel and Caleb jumped excitedly into the water. Eric lagged behind and then jumped into the lake screaming, "Cannonball!" and sending a wave out.
Nigel and Caleb laughed hysterically as they rode the wave. Will panicked and quickly grabbed a lily pad and tried to swim off.
"Hey Ty!" Nigel called spotting Will.
Will grimaced before turning to the boys with a smile. "Oh, hey guys. I didn't know you were here."
Nigel, Eric, and Caleb exchanged looks that said. 'How could he not know?'
Will continued. "Well I was just washing, and now I'm clean, so I'm gonna go. See ya!" She said quickly ducking behind the rock.
"Hey wait a minute!" Caleb called, swimming over to Will. "Listen I know that we were jerks to you earlier so what do you say we start over?" He held out his hand and Will shook it with a grimace. "Hi I'm Caleb."
"And I'm Eric," The boy said, coming over to her.
"Hello Eric," Will said through slightly clenched teeth. She just wanted to get the heck out of there.
"And I am Nigel, King of the rock!" Nigel said standing up on the rock. Will's eyes widened in horror for a spilt second, before she looked down at the water. Nigel laughed. "And you little girls couldn't get me off for the life of you!"
"Oh, yeah tough guy? Well I think Ty and I can take you!" Caleb laughed.
"I really don't want to take him anywhere," Will stressed.
"What?! But Ty we have to fight!" Caleb cried.
"No we don't! We could just close our eyes and swim around," Will suggested.
Caleb took Will's arms and she grew alarmed. "Come on, don't be such a-OW!" He cried suddenly. "Something just bit me!"
Then Irma popped up out of the water gagging and coughing. "Oh, wow that tasted so wrong!" She cried in disgust.
"Snake!" Caleb cried. He quickly moved away from the two girls to his friends who were getting on to the rock screaming with him.
Will whistled and Huggles came into the water and covered Will as she wrapped a towel around her.
"Some king of the rock you are!" Caleb taunted Nigel. Nigel pushed Caleb of the rock into the water.
"Whoa, boy that was close!" Will sighed in relief.
Irma was right behind Will with a large toothpaste tub in her hand and a toothbrush in her mouth. "No! That was vile! You owe me big you got that?!" Irma cried, before going back to brushing her teeth.
"I never want to see a naked man again!" Will said.
Suddenly all the men in camp ran past her with no clothes on. She blinked a few times, before looking down at Irma.
The small girl shook her head. "I'm not biting anymore butts, just so we're clear on that!"
A few minutes later, after Will had dressed, she, Irma, and Blunk were walked around camp, when they heard Cedric and Matt arguing.
"You think your troops are ready to fight?! Ha! They wouldn't last ten seconds against the Huns!" Cedric laughed.
"They've completed their training!" Matt insisted.
"Those boys are no more fight to be soldiers then you are to be captain!" Cedric cried. Matt was shocked. Cedric continued. "Once general Tynar reads my report, your troops will never see battle!"
Irma clenched her fists in anger. "Oh, no you don't snake boy. I worked too hard to get Will into this place. This guys is messing my plan up!" She whispered to Blunk.
"We're not finished!" Matt cried, grabbing the front of Cedric's shirt.
"Be careful, Captain. The general may be your uncle, but I am the queen counsel. And FYI I got the job on my own." Cedric replied. "Goodnight Captain."
Matt angrily walked out of the tent passed Will. She smiled. "Hey here's a thought. I'll hold him and you punch!" She laughed, but her face fell when Matt kept on walking. "Or not," She muttered. Then Will called to him. "You know I happen to think that you're a great captain!"
Matt stopped and turned around to give Will a smile, before walking off. Irma looked up at Will and raised an eyebrow at the rather love struck look on her face.
"Will, what's with the look?" She smirked.
"What are you talking about?" Will asked.
"You like, like, Matt don't you?" Irma asked with a smirk.
Will blushed. "N-no I don't-"
"Why right whatever. Go to your tent young lady!" Irma cried.
Will walked back to her tent, the blush still there and s soft smile on her face.
After she was gone, Irma turned to Blunk with an evil smirk. "Blunk, I think it's time we took this war into our own hands."
A few minutes later Irma and Blunk stood outside Cedric's tent just as he left to go for a swim in the lake. They quickly ducked into the tent and Irma stopped her foot in the air when she a picture of Cedric and Elyon. Cedric had an idiotic smile on his face as he pointed at Elyon and Elyon looked kinda scared.
'That guys is nuts!" She thought.
She turned and saw Blunk with a pen in hand and writing on a piece of paper. He was doing just what Irma wanted him to. He was writing an 'urgent letter from the general' saying that Matt's troops were needed in battle.
"Okay let me see what you got, Blunk!" Irma said, taking the piece of paper and reading the leader. "Dear nephew, we're expecting Phobos at the mountain pass and it would mean a lot if you would come and back us up."
She turned to the passling. "Hmm not bad, except you forgot the fact that hello this is the army! Make it sound more urgent please. You know what I'm takin bout?"
Blunk saluted her and immediately wrote down another note. Irma watched him until Blunk wrote down what she wanted. "That's better! Much better, now let's move!"
Outside, Huggles was drinking some water, when he looked up and saw Irma and Blunk on his back.
"Huggles baby, hey dude we need a ride," Irma said.
Huggled merely bucked the two of his back in irritation. He obviously hadn't forgiven Irma for calling him a rodent.
Back at the lake, Cedric walked out angrily a towel wrapped around him. He turned back to the soldiers who were laughing hysterically.
"You men owe me a new pair of slippers!" He cried. "And I do not squeal like a girl!" He muttered.
Then he turned around, saw a panda, and let out a scream that would put a little five year old girl getting her ears pierced to shame. He then saw a 'soldier' riding on the panda. It just so happened to be Irma and Blunk. Irma was controlling the arm movements from behind and Blunk was holding up the face part for the talking bit.
"Urgent news from the general," Irma said, using the best man voice she could muster. She handed the letter to Cedric who looked up at the fake soldier skeptically.
"What's the matter, you never seen a black and white before?" Irma asked, referring to the panda.
"Who are you?" Cedric demanded.
"Excuse me?! I think the real question here is who are you?! We're in a war man! There's no time for stupid questions like that. I should have your ponytail for that. Cut it right off your head. I'm feeling gracious today so carry on before I report you!" Irma ranted as the panda climbed up a tree nearby without Cedric noticing.
Cedric read the note and his eyes widened. Then he ran into Matt's tent. "Captain! Urgent news from the general! We're needed out to fight."
In a tree over the tent, Irma laughed and turned to Blunk. "Time to pack the bags, Blunk. We're going on a road trip!"
With that said, Irma and Blunk high fived each other. Their plan had been a success!
