James: Hey everyone, this here now is our other update since we didn't get to do it last weekend. Again sorry if we were late, but whatever happened last week to have PMs or reviews to not work well made us decide we do them next week and that's what we did.
Mel: ya, that along with the trip, we didn't want to risk it with the limited time we had. But here's the second chapter, so please enjoy! :)
Chapter 15: Not Bored with Cabin Fever
*later in the day, about a half hour after lunch*
Mel: Why don't we all get our swimsuits on and hit the lake?
Lloyd: Yay! *darts upstairs to change*
Everyone else: *laughs and follows him upstairs*
*a few minutes later*
Mel, Dawn, and Nya: *walk out in swimsuits and cover ups*
James and the boys: *walk out in swim trunks*
James: Let's go guys.
Mel: Don't forget to grab a towel from the closet on your way by!
Everyone: *grabs towel, gets out of the house and runs to the shore front*
Mel: I think I'll stick with sunbathing for now, but I might get in later.
Nya: I'm gonna do the same.
Dawn: I think I'll join you girls.
Lucas: Suit yourselves, but we're all getting in. *runs off the dock and jumps in* Sometimes I miss the soothing feeling of water.
Kai: Well duh, it's your element!
Lloyd: *runs off the dock, dousing all the boys in water* Water war!
Jay: Oh it's on! *jumps in with all the others*
Cole: Two teams guys?
James: Um, we've got uneven numbers.
Zane: It'll balance out if Lloyd and Lucas are placed on the same team with four people. Because Lucas' element can make up for Lloyd's lack of size.
Kai: Fine by me, what's the teams?
Cole: Hmm... Lloyd, Lucas, James, and Jay vs. me, Kai, and Zane.
James: Oh it's on!
*with the girls*
Mel: You still wanna learn how to get the upper hand on your bros?
Nya: Please!
Dawn: Yes! I need something to make up for my, um, lack of size compared to Cole.
Mel: Let me explain..
*with the Boys*
Cole: Hey Lucas! Heads up! *splashes water at him*
Lucas: *getting drenched in water and moved his bangs out of his eyes* Now it's on. *raises his arms up and started rising up*
Cole: Oh dear.
Kai: Duck and cover!
Lucas: *moved his hands in swift motions and had a stream of water in his hands and pushed it at Cole*
Cole: *coughing the lake water up and splashed some water at James and Lloyd*
Everyone but the girls: *laughing*
James: *sees his sister and snickered at an idea* Hey Lucas, can you give the girls a downpour? *winks*
Lucas: Sure. *looks above the girls and thought of a small rain cloud to turn his eyes to milky white. A small cloud appear above the girls and drizzle them in water*
Girls: *shriek to the sudden rain storm*
Mel: James! Wait till I get my hands on you!
James: How did you know it was me?
Mel: Because you're my brother and it's something you would do.
James: Oh you'll dry up in a matter of time. Just relax.
Mel: *glares at him* Really? How immature can you get! Hmm... How about a little revenge? *whispers to Nya and Dawn who nod. Then she runs up towards the house*
James: Where is she going?
Nya: She said she wanted to grab something.
James: Alright. Back to the game guys! *splashes Zane completely*
Mel: *runs back up when she sees the guys are distracted, whispering to the girls* Alright here's the plan, I'll get James and Lucas, Nya, get Jay and Kai, Dawn, you Cole and Zane. We'll leave Lloyd outta this one. *hands each girl two mini buckets of ice* Let's do this! *shouting as all of them hide the buckets behind their backs* Hey! We're coming in!
Guys except Lloyd who's swimming around a little bit away: *swim to the dock to wait for them*
Mel: *all three of them walk over to the boys* Now! *whip out the buckets and dump them on the guys' heads. Laugh at them*
Guys: Cold! Hey!
James: Melody you are so-
Lloyd: Eek! Help! *starts trashing*
Mel: *dives in head first and reaches him, pulling him out* Lloyd! Are you okay?
Lloyd: *coughs hard*
Mel: What Happened?
Lloyd: *cough* I-I don't k*cough*-now... I don't *cough* feel good...
Mel: *touches Lloyd's forehead and feels that it's a little warm* This isn't good...
Everyone else: *runs over*
James: Wow Mel, I bet you're glad you took those lifeguard training classes.
Mel: *nods, stands up and whispers to everyone but Lloyd* His fever's back and it's skyrocketed. I think his body went into shock out there.
Lucas: But he was fine yesterday night and this morning. How does that work?
Mel: It's called relapse. Someone gets sick and then appears to recover, but then they're hit with the sickness again, but harder.
Everyone: *looks worried*
James:So what do we do now?
Mel: Let's get him wrapped him in a towel so he doesn't get cold and I'll watch over him for a while. *carries Lloyd to the towels and took his wrapped him tightly so he would dry off and warm up*
Lucas: Will he be alright?
Mel: Can your powers like heal him?
Lucas: *shook his head* Sorry. I can only do wounds and bruises. Not illnesses or bones.
Mel: *sighs* I wish he was alright. He's was doing fine and now he's not. *suddenly her hands began to glow again and engulfed Lloyd in a white light*
James: What in the world?
Mel: *speaks softly* It's happening again. *her hands touched Lloyd's head and chest and the glow became more intense and everyone shielded their eyes to the light. The light dimmed down and the soft glow on her hands died off on her skin and was gone*
Lloyd: Melody, what just happened? *slowly sitting up and looking at everyone's worried grace*
Mel: I don't know. *places her hand on his head felt it was only slightly warm* You feel a little better.
James: Mel, was it really Lucas that healed me when I battered? Or was it you that did it?
Mel: Yes it was. But it just happened unexpectedly. I was worried about you and suddenly my hands started glowing and I healed you. And it happened to Lloyd.
James: This is weird. *decided not to mention anything about his hands bursting into flames because he didn't want to scare his sister. Hears thunder and looked up to thunder clouds rolling in* Lucas, are you causing this?
Lucas: Does it look like I am?
Everyone: *rain began to pour down on them and everyone ran inside the house*
*a couple of hours later*
Everyone: *Thunder roared. Lightning flashed. Rain poured down on the roof. Everyone was in the living room as the storm continued pouring. It rained for four hours lately and Zane and Dawn were in the kitchen making dinner while everyone else was in the living room chatting*
Nya: Some storm we're having. *while sitting on the couch and watched the rain pound on the window*
James: Yeah. Lucas, is there a way you can control the storm to move it away?
Lucas: *shook his head* No. It's nature's way and I can't control nature like that. *noticed Lloyd was looking a bit pale* You alright, Shrimp?
Lloyd: Not really. *cough*
Mel: I don't understand. You were healed and yet you look sick and have energy to play. Why don't you go to the bathroom down the hall and wait to see of you have to throw up at all.
Lloyd: Alright. *walks down the hallway and entered the bathroom and closed the door. He filled a glass of water and drank it. He looks at himself in the mirror to check himself out and noticed a roll of toilet paper and mischievously smiled and let out his old evil laugh silently and began work*
*Back in the living room*
James: So what happened to him?
Mel: I told you it was relapse. Lloyd was doing fine when we were at the festival and this morning, but now he's sick again. And he looks awful than before. I'm worried about him.
James: And that glow you emitted from your hands? What about that?
Mel: I don't know. I just wished that he was healthy and suddenly it appeared.
Lucas: Perhaps that when you're a healing prodigy, you unleashed your powers based from emotions. I'm able to use my powers when I think of healing and fix wounds. And when you wished for James and Lloyd to be better, you unleashed the power and help them both. But for Lloyd it was only an expansion to your powers so it only did half of the work and slightly cured Lloyd.
Kai: So she's a healing prodigy and he's a fighting prodigy. Does James have powers too?
James: *glances at his hands and looked away*
Lucas: Who knows. As my father would say: Only time would tell.
Jay: Okay, but if it doesn't happen.
Dawn: It may happen. *speaking from the kitchen* I can feel it inside him, but it feels cold and dark.
Cole: So he may have powers but has to unleash of somehow. I think it's something we can do tomorrow after it rains.
Jay: So while we stay indoors, what can we do? We can't play the Xbox with Lloyd around because Lucas doesn't want violent video games in front of him. And we can't go outside because we'll get wet. I might get cabin fever later.
Everyone: *hears a moan and turned their heads to see Lloyd covered head to toe in toilet paper*
Lloyd: I am a mummy. And whoever I capture will be my servants to help me capture my prey. *moans and walks like a mummy*
James: *laughs at his joke and game* Who needs Xbox when you can create your own game? Don't let the mummy get you! *and ran away from Lloyd the cursed mummy*
Everyone including Zane and Dawn as dinner was cooling: *join in on the fun and ran and hide from Lloyd as he chased them around the house*
*With Melody*
Mel: *hiding in the hallway closet from Lloyd* I remember when me and James were little we used to play games like this all the time. Hmm... I better climb to a higher shelf so I can jump over Lloyd if necessary... *starts climbing up the shelves, hears Lloyd trudging down the hall fake moaning and holds her breath* Don't let him find me. Don't let him find me... *hears Lloyd continue down the hall, so she climbs a little higher*
Lloyd: *flings open the door, moaning* I'm going to get you!
Mel: *squeaks in surprise* Eek! I thought I heard you walk away! Whatever, you'll never catch me alive! *jumps over Lloyd and takes off down the hall*
Lloyd: Hey! No fair! *goes after her*
*With James*
James: *hides in the laundry room hiding behind some baskets and was chuckling his head* I remember playing games with Melody and this was my favorite spot. But it's been awhile and Lloyd might find me soon. *hears* Hey! No fair! *hears shuffling as Lloyd was chasing someone and heard the door and held his breath and peeks through to see if it was Lloyd and sighed as it was Jay trying to hide* Jay, hide. Before Lloyd gets you.
Jay: My master must feed. He's looking for prey to be immortal. *eyes were big as he looked to be control and slowly walked towards James*
James: *backs away slowly as he realized Lloyd captured him and he was next* Oh man I need to escape.
Jay: *grabs his arms and looped his underneath James' arms and his hands met the back of his head. He captured James* Master! I have more prey for you!
Lloyd: *moans and walks in to see his target* You will follow under my control.
James: *chuckles * I don't think so. *lifts both hands up and slipped down from Jay's grasp and leaped over Lloyd and ran out to hide*
Lloyd: Get him! I need more servants to help capture everyone.
Jay: Yes master! *ran down the hall to chase James or find someone else while Lloyd looked around for any more prey.
*With Kai*
Kai: *hiding in the basement while Lloyd was searching for everyone else* I found the best spot. Lloyd will never find me down here. *hears the basement door open and heard Lloyd's mummy moan as he walked down the steps. He kept himself hidden as he saw Lloyd walking around for him or someone and saw him walking away. He sighed and looked for Lloyd*
Lloyd: You're under my control now! *tackles Kai down*
Kai: *gives off a scream of playful horror and slowly got up* But I just saw you go upstairs?
Lloyd: After I captured Jay, I slowly gained my powers back. My water powers and created a clone of myself. So now you're under my control.
Kai: *smiles* What is your wish, master?
Lloyd: Help me find more servants and I can become immortal.
Kai: Yes master. *and ran upstairs with Lloyd behind him* This is so much fun. Who should I look for? Cole? Or Zane?
*with Cole*
Cole: *hiding under bed* I heard Melody shout 'you'll never catch me alive', that Jay was 'captured', James get away form Lloyd, and Kai got captured. I'll just lay low and he'll never- eep! *sees shadows of someone walking past by the door*
Kai and Jay: *opens door* Must find more for our master...
Jay: Look behind the curtains...
Kai: Check under the bed...
Cole: *eyes widen slightly and tries to wiggle towards the front of the bed so he can get out*
Kai: More found for our master! *reaches for Cole*
Cole: *yelps and wiggles out only to run into Jay*
Jay: *grabs his arm, and Kai grabs the other pinning them to his side, dragging Cole away* Master! We found more!
Cole: *lets out a fake scream* Eek! Nooooo! Help! Anybody!
Lloyd: *fake evil laughs* No one can hear you... You are now under my control.
Cole: Yes master... What do you want me to do?
Lloyd: Find them all!
Cole, Kai, and Jay: Yes master! *slowly walk away*
*with Nya*
Nya: *hiding in the kitchen pantry* I heard Cole yelling for help, so that's at least one down... I wonder if anyone else has been found? *hears someone enter kitchen*
Kai: Check the cupboards...
Cole: What about the pantry?
Nya: Looks like I might be next...
Cole: *opens door and sees Nya* More for our master!
Nya: *fake screams and tries to run, only to be grabbed by Kai*
Kai: Take her to our master...
*with Dawn*
Dawn: *hiding in shower in girls bathroom* Well there goes my brother... This is really fun. I hope Lloyd doesn't find me...
Lloyd and Jay: *enter bathroom*
Lloyd: Check the shower in here as well. I need more!
Jay: Yes master! *pulls back curtain, revealing Dawn*
Dawn: *shrieks and is captured by Jay*
Kai and Cole: *walk in carrying Nya between them*
Cole: We found another for you master...
Lloyd: Two at once! Very good! *looks at Dawn and Nya who giggle slightly* You will obey me now!
Girls: Yes master... What do you want us to do?
Lloyd: Find more! *thinking as they leave* Who to get next...
*With Zane*
Zane: *hiding behind the couch as he slipped past everyone while Lloyd captured them and stayed quiet as he heard voices*
Kai: We only need four more and Zane and Lucas have to be near here. Then our master will be pleased.
Dawn: Nya and I will search upstairs for anyone and you three search down here. *and both head upstairs*
Cole: I'll search around here and you guys check the kitchen and laundry room again. They might've slipped past us when we captured the others.
Zane: Please don't look behind the couch. Please don't look behind the couch. Please don't look behind the couch.
Cole: Hello tin man. *looking at him above the couch*
Zane: *gives off a surprise scream and jumped out of his hiding spot and bumped into Jay and Kai*
Jay: You're not going anywhere.
Kai: Our master will be pleased. *and both the lightning and fire ninja grab his arms while Cole his legs and pinned the nindroid to the floor*
Cole: Master, we have a new recruit.
Lloyd: *walks into the living room and gave off his fake mummy moans*
Zane: Someone help me!
Lloyd: No-one will be risky to help you... You're now under my control.
Zane: I will do anything you say. *and stood up and changed his eyes to look like he was controlled*
Lloyd: Good. Find my cousin and bring him to me.
*With James*
James: *panting as he just escaped being captured and turned to a servant and hid in the library and behind the curtains. He heard so far that Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane, Nay and Dawn were captured and the remaining 'explorers' were him, Melody, and Lucas* That was a close call. I hope they don't find me in here. I hope Mel is safe from them.
*with Mel*
Mel: Once I had gotten away from Lloyd, I could come here to my secret hiding spot, the old attic. By the sound of it, everyone but Lucas and James have been 'captured'. I hope they don't find James...
*with Lucas*
Lucas: *hiding in the bedroom closet on top of one of the shelves* Oh man, me and the twins are the only ones left... I hope Lloyd doesn't find me... *hears bedroom door open and holds breath*
Zane: We should check in the bathroom, under the bed, in the curtains, and in the closet for best search for our master.
Jay: *checks in curtains* No one here...
Cole: *looks under bed* No one here either...
Kai: *checks bathroom* No one in bathroom...
Zane: *opens closet, looks around, and spots Lucas* Found one! Our master will be pleased.
Lucas: *jumps down and tries to escape*
'Captured' boys: *each grab a limb and carries him to Lloyd*
Lloyd: Good. You are under my control now... Find the twins!
Lucas: *smiles at his cousin and plays along* Yes master... *walks away followed by the other four*
*With James*
James: *hears the door open and held his breath as Lloyd or someone else was in the room with him*
Lucas: James? Melody, are you in here? I escaped from being captured and want to see if you want to form an alliance with me to escape captivity.
James: *hasn't heard him being captured and revealed himself* Really want to form an alliance?
Lucas: Nope, I lied.
Captured boys and girls: *walk in and surrounded James and grabbed his arms*
James: *struggles to escape them, but gasped at the sight of Lloyd's shadow* Melody, hide!
Lloyd: Your sister is next... You're under my control.
James: I am under your control.
Lloyd: Find your sister and bring her to me and I can become immortal. *gives out his evil laugh*
James: Yes master. Follow me. *and heads out the room to search for the final 'explorer'
*with Mel, still in the attic*
Mel: Well I'm screwed... I'm the only one left... What to do... Hmm, it's still raining, but only drizzling... And there's a large oak tree outside the window up here. If they find me, I'll climb out the window onto the tree! I'll just run back around the house and into the garage though, don't wanna catch a cold. *hears attic stairs being pulled down* Dang! James still remembers this spot... *walks over to the window, ready to pop it open once she saw someone*
James: Up here master, it's the only place left where she would hide.
*everyone follows Lloyd up the stairs*
Mel: *tries to open the window but it's rusted shut* No! Stupid rusted window! You were my escape plan!
Lloyd: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Get her my minions!
Mel: *backs into the wall* Eep! Don't do it guys!
Everyone: *grabs her and follows Lloyd back downstairs to the living room*
Lloyd: *looks at Melody* You will obey me...
Mel: Yes master...
Lloyd: Haha! Now I can become immortal!
Mel: *looks slyly at everyone else* No master, we can not let this happen!
Lloyd: Huh? Oh course you can!
Mel: No. Not without your tickle treatment first! Get 'em guys! *and smacked his legs to knock him down to his back*
Lucas and James: *holds down Lloyd's arms*
Kai and Jay: *hold down his legs*
Zane: *gently, but firmly holds his head*
Cole: *holds down his midsection*
Girls: *start tickling his underarms, feet, and stomach*
Lloyd: N-hahaha!-o stop! Hahaha!
Mel: Release us from your captivity and never wish for immortality again!
Lloyd: Hahaha! Ne*gasps and starts crying from laughing*-ver!
Mel: What's that? Tickle harder? Okay!
Lloyd: NO! *gasp* Hahaha! I'll release you! Hahaha! Just stop!
Mel: Thank you. *and the girls stops tickling him and the guys let go of him* Now, who's hungry after our game?
Jay: I am. That was fun.
Cole: Yeah I worked up an appetite. And I'm sure the mummy did too.
Everyone: *laughing at the joke*
Zane: Let's go eat then. Dinner is ready in the dining room.
Everyone but James, Lucas, and Lloyd: *all head to the dining room to eat*
James: Come on, squirt. Let's get this off of you. *helps Lloyd to his feet and unraveled the toilet paper off his face*
Lloyd: Ya know that most minions wouldn't turn on their master once they're captured.
Lucas: Unlike the Serpentine, Lloyd. *and began to work on removing the paper off his arms*
Lloyd: Oh...right. *let out an innocent laugh* Wait. I liked playing that game. Can we play it again after dinner? Please?
James: *taps in thought and came to an idea* How about this, we'll keep this around in case we want to play again and let someone else have a turn. And don't worry, we got plenty more in the hall closet. Or we can play a different game.
Lloyd: *wide smile grew on his face* Like what?
James: I don't know, but something will come up. *and finally removed the paper off his torso and legs* Now let's go eat.
James, Lucas, and Lloyd: *finally entered the dining room and took their seats*
James: And nothing like a good and fun game to make sure we don't get cabin fever on a stormy night like this. Right Mel? I had fun. As well did everyone else.
Mel: I had a ton of fun with this. So I hope you enjoyed our chapter and I hope to see you next week and I hope you'll check out my poll! God bless your week! :)
