Petrified
Blythe, Bash, and Bell flew close to the water. They were out a little early, but that was okay. Then Bell saw something in the water. A giant snake! She froze and went plummeting toward the water. "Bell!" Blythe and Bash shouted.
They dove down after her. Luckily they were close to land so they managed to get her there. "Bell? Bell!" Blythe shouted. She looked at Bell, she wasn't moving.
Bash flew off to get help. Soon there was a crowd outside. An owl came over and started looking Bell over. "Well?" Blythe leaned forward.
"Can you tell what's wrong with her?" Soren asked.
The owl nodded. "She's been petrified."
"What?" Several owls asked. None of them had a clue what petrify meant.
"It's a rare case. It's a lot like sleeping only they're stiff and you can't wake them up." He explained.
"Sounds more to me that it's like being dead." Twilight said.
"No! She's not dead, and there is a cure."
"What's the cure?" Soren asked.
"I have no idea." They all stared at him in disbelief. "What?" he sighed. "Look, I know there is a cure, but this is a rare case, so I don't know what the cure is."
"Well we have to find out." Soren said.
"Obviously."
Soren tried to not to get impatient. This owl was a bit of a button pusher though. "How can we help?"
"Well, what would really be nice is if someone knew how she got this way. It would make it easier to find the cure."
Everyone looked at Blythe and Bash, and they looked at each other. "We don't know what happened." Blythe admitted. "We were just flying, she froze up."
"Well someone better find out."
Soren nodded. "You heard! We need to be on the lookout. Find out who did this to Bell." He swallowed hard looking at his daughter. Slowly the owls all left, going back to the tree. Soren sighed. There was nothing he could do for Bell by standing here. He went back to. The owl took Bell back to the tree, toward the hospital.
(What do owls call their hospital? I forgot.)
