Chapter 15

Narrator: Harry looked into the magic book to start the ritual that was to spiritually connect Polly to the engine, and he saw what symbols to draw on the ground for the ritual. He spoke up to Sally.

Harry: Here, Sally! It says to draw an eye with stems coming off of it!

Sally: OK. I will draw it.

Narrator: Then Harry saw something else in the book. He saw the book say "thy object shall be removed of all impurities and coverings" Harry had a hard time figuring out what that meant, then he realized it.

Harry: Hey, Sally! We need to strip her of her clothes!

Sally: You mean, we have to see her naked?!

Harry: Unfortunately, Yes.

Narrator: So Sally stripped Polly of her clothes. The clothes were all dirty and raggedy, and they smelled because they were being worn by a dead body for over a week and a half. She was very grossed out by this.

Sally: Ew! This is disgusting!

Harry: I know! But it is necessary.

Narrator: So Sally removed all of the clothing from Sally, and put her in the middle of the eye, right over the pupil, and then she went over to harry, and asked what to do next. Harry looked at the book, and saw what he saw before in the book. "Through Fire shall we be bonded forever." Harry then realized what the book was saying.

Harry: We need to set her on fire to do the ritual!

Sally: What?! That means her body will be nothing but ash, and she will look hideous!

Harry: I know! But that is what the book says to do!

Sally: Alright! That is what we will do!

Narrator; So Sally looked around for something to burn for the fire that would bond Polly to the engine, and saw some coal outside.

Sally: There is some coal we could use for the fire!

Harry: Ok! Go get it!

Narrator: So Sally went and got the coal, and dumped it in the middle of the eye. Then, she asked harry what to do next. Harry then spoke up.

Harry: It says after that to put the objects to be united together, and to bless them together.

Sally: That is after we burn the body, right?

Harry: Yes, it is.

Narrator: So Sally started looking for something to start the fire with, and saw a little box of matched on a workbench. She grabbed them, took one out of the box, and put it to the coal in the circle with Polly's body on top of it. The fire was soon blazing, and Harry began to say the prayer.

Harry: KOOM-BAAAHHH-HOOOOOMMMMM-BIIIIILLLL-HUUUUMMMMM! KOOOOOMMMMM-BAAAAAAALOOOOOOMUUUUUU!

Narrator: Just then, the fire started to burn a strange blue color, and there were strange objects coming out of the fire, and then, a huge dragon came out of the fire, and let out a huge roar. It then turned towards the fire that was burning Polly, and blew its flaming breath onto Polly. The flames were so thick, that you could not see Polly through the flames. Then, suddenly, the flame went out, and there was Polly, burned to a crisp. Harry then motioned to sally to help him put Polly's body into the fire box of the engine. They did so, and harry said the final part of the ritual.

Harry: By the will within me, I declare you united!

Narrator: Just then, the fire in the engine lit all by itself, and there were flames coming out of the stack of the engine. Then, all was quiet. Harry began to wonder if the spell had worked. He spoke up.

Harry: Sally, do you think that this has worked?

Sally: I don't know harry, I think it didn't.

Narrator: Harry then became very upset. He thought that not only had he failed to resurrect Polly, but that now he had burned her body to a crumpled ash, and that they could not give her a proper burial. He began to cry.

Harry (Moaning): Why, Sally?! Why did I have to try tyhis ritual on her?! No she is nothing more than ash!

Sally: It was worth a try, harry. We had to try to resurrect her anyway because you are the one who was accused of her murder.

Narrator: Just then, they heard a noise coming from inside the firebox of the engine. Harry went over to investigate. He looked inside the firebox, and gasped. He then motioned over to Sally to come over and help him with something. He spoke up to her.

Harry: Reach into the firebox, and see what happens.

Narrator: So Sally did, and then she felt something grab her hand and pull on it. Together, harry and Sally pulled the thing that was pulling on them from inside the firebox out. They Gasped. It was Polly! She looked just like a normal Human and was alive! She was also wearing this very attractive outfit. It was a long purple skirt that went all the way down to her ankles, and she was wearing a purple cape that went down below her butt, and this top that stopped at her chest, and she had this band going around her head. She was also wearing a pair of gloves that exposed her fingers. She looked beautiful. Harry then spoke up.

Harry: Oh My God, Polly! I am so glad to see you alive and well!

Polly: I am so glad to see you too Harry! And by the way, my name is not Polly anymore. It is Lady!

Harry: Well, I'm so thrilled to see you Lady! Wait till the public says what I did, and that I did not kill you.

Lady: I will tell you all about my adventure as soon as I tell the public that you are not my killer!

Narrator: Harry was thrilled! He had saved Polly, and was about to prove that he was not her killer! Then he spoke up.

Harry: Well, why don't we head back to Harrisburg, and show you to the public!

Sally and lady: Yes! Let's!

Narrator: Just then, Harry thought of something.

Harry: It will take a few hours to light the engine's fire and get it going though.

Narrator: Just then, Lady spoke up.

Lady: I don't think that that will be a problem, guys.

Narrator: Lady walked into the cab of her new engine, and aved her hands. The fire lit all by itself! The steam pressure rose to full boiler pressure instantaneously! Harry and Sally were thrilled! They not only had saved lady, but had given her magical powers too! Then they climbed into the cab of the engine, and they set off for Harrisburg to prove their innocence. But what they did not know was that they had another, huge surprise in store for them.
