Chapter 14: Cody's Nightmare
It was late at night and Cody was tossing and turning in his sleep, just thinking about something really bad happening. It's like the whole thing could be real, but it can't.
Nightmare
Cody was looking around in the cold winds of Shiverpool and the snow was blowing really hard that it was hard to walk past it. It was a constant struggle to find where he is and where his home is, but things would suddenly grow worse.
"Cody......!!!!"
He turned around and heard that voice out of nowhere. Then, as he saw something, he saw a rockhopper penguin catching a fish and waving at it.
"Dad?" he whispered.
Then, he couldn't see him anymore and that it was a shadowy figure of a whale eating him alive. Cody gasped in horror as he saw the whale eating his father up.
He got down on his knees and screamed, "NO!!!! Why did you do this to my dad?"
Some tears were falling from his eyes, but the snow was blowing so hard that his tears were frozen. He panted in fear and started running. He tried so desperately to run back to his igloo, but it was too far away.
All of a sudden, he got hit in the head with a snowball and heard some penguins laughing at him. He couldn't see it, but he could hear what they're saying about him.
"You'll never amount to anything!"
"Why would anyone be your friend? Nobody likes you, small-fry!!"
"You seriously cannot be Big Z!"
"You don't even know jack about surfing!"
"You're a nobody! Got that?! A NOBODY!!! N-O-B-O-D-Y!!!!"
"I don't think your size will be a good way for everyone in the colony, because we doubt that your future will be a good one."
"You will never go far in life!"
"You know what you are?! A loser! A LOSER!!!!! You will always be a loser!"
The sounds of them laughing and taunting him has gotten under Cody's skin and it just horrified him. He covered his head to quit hearing everything they said.
"Please stop it! I can't take it anymore!! Stop talking about me!" Cody shouted, with tears in his eyes.
Then, he runs away from the voices and then, looks at himself in the water, whch all of a sudden, pops in a whale from his reflection. Then, he stood back in fear and out of the blue, the whale that ate his dad looked at Cody and backed away really slow-like. He snarled and then, hopped out of the water to get him, but he missed and headed back to the water.
Cody panted in fear and jumped out of the island and into the water. He swam and swam towards the water, looking for a place to hide, but there's so much water out there, that it's difficult to find a hidden place.
He stopped and stayed in the middle of the ocean, thinking abiut going back to Shiverpool to find his way home.
But it wasn't enough.
He felt something under the water and he was afraid to look under, because he knows that there's a whale coming this way. He shuddered in fear and started swimming to find a highest peak in the ocean. Then, the whale comes faster and pops out of the water to catch Cody, but splashed back to the water.
The waves have pushed him through the water and he's swimming over to find a common peak and he saw something there. He swam towards the other end of the ocean while the whale chased him and he climbs towards an iceberg. As he got to the top, he saw everything from up there and hopes to get back to his igloo. Then, he sees the whale coming this way, jumping up to eat him and then, he jumps out of the iceberg and swam all the way back to the island and he lost the whale for a second. Cody quickly ran to the igloo and once he entered inside, he hoped his mother and Glen was there.
"Mom! Glen! Mom, Glen. Where are you guys?"
As he was walking, Cody walked towards the living room and saw his mom laying there. He thought he was asleep, but as he tried to wake her up, he sees some blood on her back. He gasped in shock and noticed that his mom was dead.
"No.... No.... No, please! Don't do this to me, mom! Don't....."
He started breaking down in tears and held her closely. Then, he started sobbing hysterically, like he couldn't believe that his mom is really gone. Then, he starts thinking of Glen. So he went towards Glen's room and finds out that Glen is also dead. He was very shocked and became in complete disbelief. He backed away slowly that two of his family members were dead and he was the only one standing. He gets out of the igloo and walks towards Shiverpool. The heavy winds were gone and there was nobody there but Cody.
One-by-one, everyone has disappeared and Cody became the only one standing. He felt really scared that everyone has died and disappeared. It's like everyone has gone and left Cody abandoned in Shiverpool.
Tears filled his eyes and got down to his knees and started crying. Cry he did without a care in the world. It's like the scariest thing that ever happened to him.
"Why did you have to leave me here all alone?"
All of a sudden, he heard a low growl out of nowhere and he turned around and gasped in shock to see the whale coming in towards Cody. Then, he pops up out of the water, with his mouth open. Cody started screaming and all of a sudden....
Back to reality....
Cody woke up, screaming loudly. Then, he opened his eyes and looked around and it was all a dream. He panted heavily and felt completely scared after that. He looked at his Big Z necklace for a few seconds and then, some tears were falling out of his eyes and into the necklace and he broke down crying.
Suddenly, Edna came to his room and saw Cody crying in his bed. She came over to him and puts her flipper on his shoulder. Cody gasped softly and turns around and sees his mom there.
He couldn't stop crying and hugged her tightly. She embraced the hug as well and whispered, "It's okay, Cody. I'm here."
"It was a bad dream." Cody whispered.
"Well, it's all over now."
"Everyone was....gone and it was so bad."
"It was just a nightmare. It's okay. You're safe now."
Poor Cody! Cody the Maverick, hope this impresses you a lot!
