Chapter 3: Explanation
Vida POV, in the woods somewhere
'Where could she be?' I thought. "Sola! Where are you? Sola!" I yelled, looking for her. Then I saw Phineas the Troglin. "Hey Phineas! Have you seen a crying girl with white hair running through here?" I asked him. "Hmm…let's see…oh yes, I did see a girl who was crying and she did look like that," he replied. "Where was she going?" I asked. "Not sure. She ran in that direction," Phineas replied, pointing to the right. "Thanks," I said quickly, and I started running in the direction Phineas had pointed in.
Then I heard the sound of a girl crying. "Sola," I followed the sound and found Sola behind a log, crying. "Come up here," I gestured to the top of the log, and I sat on it. "W-why?" she asked, still crying. "That way we can talk more easily," I told her. "Okay…" Sola got up and climbed onto the log and sat next to me. "Did you run because the others were talking about how can they destroy your brother?" "Yeah," she said.
Then I got a better look at her. She looked beat up. "What happened?" I asked her, referring to her injuries. "Well, first I tripped over a root and that's how I got this," she showed me a nasty bruise on her left leg. "What happened to your arm?" I saw blood coming out of her left arm. "Oh…that's why I was sitting behind the log, not on top. I had kind of jumped over the log and I cut my arm while doing that," she told me. "Oh…here, hold still for a second," I got out a bandage I got from Sis (Madison) earlier. I put the bandage around Sola's arm. When I was done, she started to get tears in her eyes. I put a bandage on her, why is she crying? "What is it?" I asked her. "Vi, can you keep a secret?" she asked. "I'll try." I told her.
"Well…Shion and I…came from the year 3000. I actually am from this time, 2006, but I time traveled to 3000. Then I met Shion, who said he would want me as a sister if I wanted, because I didn't have any relatives or anywhere to stay, and I didn't know of my real family…then Shion got assigned to go to this year, I snuck onboard the time machine because he said he was going to 2006…and then…I realized something," Sola said. "That's a really big secret," I said, wide-eyed. "Wait, what did you realize?" I asked.
There was a tap on my shoulder. "Found you, Vida," Xander said. "Guys I found them!" Xander called out. Next thing I knew, Sis, Chip, Nick, and Clare all were coming toward us. "What's going on here?" Clare asked. "Well…Sola, sorry, but I need to tell them," I said quickly. "Shimafanata!" (S***, F***, Mou) Sola mumbled. "What's that mean?" Sis asked suspiciously. "Uh, nothing important. I totally wasn't cursing in Hummardian ten seconds ago," she said quickly. Everyone looked at her. "Anyone know a tell-the-truth spell? Besides Clare?" Nick asked. Everyone shook their heads, including Clare. Then the Mystic Morphers rang. "Udonna, what is it?" I said into mine. "Clare, come back here. Everyone else, go back to Briarwood. There's an attack. You'll see it easily," Udonna said to the Morphers. "Okay, we're going," I said. "You guys, let's go. Clare, Udonna wants you back at Rootcore," Nick said. "Okay," everyone said.
