D2 Run to the Stairs
"I've got to get her back," Mira decided as she ran after the cockatoo.
But as she moved quickly down the stairs, she tried not to make too much noise. And this slowed her down a little. But she couldn't forget those awful sounds she had heard Grin making in his cursed state.
As she reached the bottom of the stairs, Mira saw Tanya fly towards the library, and she started to head in that direction when she heard unnatural growls and things being smashed beneath the great force of an angry beast.
Mira froze and pressed herself up against the wall as she neared the library. When she dared to peek around the corner, she saw a monstrous shape clambering up the stairs. Two thoughts struck her. First, though she could hardly believe it, was that the monster was indeed Grin. And second, the other ducks were lying vulnerable in open rooms on the third floor.
Before this could sink in, Mira felt a strange force seize her and pull her through space and time to the familiar setting of Anaheim. It still night, but everything suddenly felt far less perilous. But as Mira stooped down to pick up some strange pages at her feet, she saw an image of a massive figure battering down a hallway towards two rooms with open doors. And in another image, a shadow reached out uselessly for a cockatoo as it flew towards the open door to a garden.
"What have I done?" Mira asked in horror as she looked at the images and then at a few lines of writing on one of the pages.
You are safe, but the ducks are not yet free.
If you would help them, then you must go back in time and choose differently.
You have the power, but what your choice will be,
We shall see.
If you wish to return to the story, it is recommended that you go back to the last point in the story where you had to make a choice (D2 Go Upstairs), but if you would like to go back to an earlier point, that is certainly an option too.
