Lexi- Chapter 4

"So what are we investigating today?" I asked.

"The legendary Kelpie," Drew said.

"Whoa! The Kelpie?" Zak jumped in excitement.

"Yes, Zak the Kelpie. It too has awakened, and it is more a threat to people than other cryptids."

"Doesn't it like, eat people?"

"All the time, that's why we're going there."
My eyes widened. "Cool."

"But, I want both of you to be extremely careful. No funny business." Both of us stopped jumping around.

"Ok," I said returning to my serious face.

"That'll be easy. All we have to do is we have to make sure we get on the back of a really pretty horse, or go near strange beautiful women."

"Just let us handle the going near anything," Doc said.

"We're here now and I don't want to lose either of you. Zak you should try and test your powers, but if it becomes too much, stop. Also you can't touch this one or its superglue skin will help to drown you."

"Ok."

"Everything will be fine."

"Then let's go."
We all came out of the airship and when Komodo and Fisk started to follow us, Drew stopped them.

"Oh, no. You too can't come."

"Whazza Wha?"

"Sorry, you're just too easy a target."

"Aww, mhan. Zratt shinks."

"Sorry, maybe next time."

We all quietly slipped between trees and listened and looked at everything around us.

"Hey, What color is the horse it appears as?"

"It is usually white."

"Perfect. I think I found our horse."

I pointed out an off white horse with a long mane and a really long forelock. It was a beautiful glowing horse, and what was creepy; it almost made me want to ride it. It looked like a regular tamed horse.

"Good eyes, Lexi."

"Thanks."

"Lexi Zak you go that way, and Drew and I will come around in those to directions, closing it in."

"Got it," Zak said starting to move out.

About a minute later we were at the water's edge. We were now visible to the confused horse and then something frightened it. It reared up and its beautiful cream mane grew into seaweed looking substance. It's white coat turned to blue green scales and it's rear half turned into a fish tail.

"Whoa!"

"Zak, What's wrong with it?"

"I don't know. I think it's scared of me."

"Then fall back-" Drew was hit by the Kelpies powerful tail and Doc was also wiped out. Maybe it didn't want them to stick to its tail, because they flew off pretty easily. Bad part? They hit a boulder. It turned to us and it slithered over to us. I backed off but Zak was caught staring into its yellow eyes. Suddenly it wrapped its tail around him.

"Ahhh! Mom!"

"Zak!" She tried to get up, without much luck and Zak was dragged under. I looked at Drew. She was struggling so hard I looked at the lake where Zak had just gone under. She saw me looking the way I did then shouted.

"Lexi, no!"

I went anyway. I dove into the water and help my breath. Once in the icy water I saw the Kelpie. I saw over to it silently. I brushed my hand along its mane, and transformed. I looked down. I had turquoise colored front horse legs and a tail. I was good to go.

I dove towards the Kelpie and whapped it hard with my tail. Zak was struggling to keep consciousness, and I kicked the Kelpie until it let go. It turned to me and I swung my neck into it causing it to have some sort of Kelpie whiplash. It looked at me horrified, and it swan away. I always thought it was impossible for a horse to look horrified. Oh, well. I transformed back into Lexi and I wrapped my arms around him and carried him up. We broke the surface and came face to face with two extremely worried parents.

"Lexi!" Drew shouted relieved. She picked up Zak and I climbed onto the bank turning over on my back. I was soaking wet, and so was Zak.

"How'd you-?"

"Let's just say the Kelpie didn't much have a taste for kur."

"Thank you, but why did you do it?"

"I had to help, I couldn't just stand there useless."

"Wait a minute, you were under there for five minutes. Zak went unconscious but you didn't. How?" Doc asked.

"That's just another thing I'm good at."

I laughed and turned over onto my stomach, pushing myself up.

"I don't think t will ever want to eat another human."
