Backtracking- part 7 of Friends and Animals in the Fire
"Do we really need to go all the way back into the "Haunted" forest and into the portal
to get back to The Land Of Forgotten?" Jewel asked.
Hercheetokey let out a half hearted laugh, "Of course not! The portals were made in
1864, our technology developed in 1921." She explained. Then, with the flick of her
finger, we were looking up at a purple sky. . .
CHAPTER 45 BRAD THE WEREWOLF
The first thing we heard was a loud howl from our right coming the forest. Then. . .
'Clunk, clunk, clunk, atunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, atunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, atunk, clunk,
clunk, atunk, clunkclunkclunkatunk, clunkclunkclunkatunkclunkatunkclunkatunk.' The
noise grew and grew faster and faster until a huge black shape charged out at us from
the forest!
"Watch out!" Katie cried.
We ran.
"Aarrroooo!" the long howl rang out loud and frightening. A dark shadow leaped over
my head, straight at Madilin!
"Madilin! Look out!" I cried, but it was too late. The huge black creature grabbed
Madilin and flung her up into a. . . HUG?!?! We all skidded to a stop.
"WOOHOOrrr! Gart you arrrll on that onerrr!" The spoke/growled and now I finally
realised WHO the werewolf actually was!
"Brad!?!" Amy cried.
Brad was the huge werewolf, 12ft tall with silver eyes, gleaming white fangs and 3in.
long claws. (if you've seen it, picture Van Hellsing's werewolf.) We met him the last time
we had come to The Land Of The Forgotten.
Madilin started laughing and quickly hugged Brad back. Then Brad placed Madilin back
down to earth and gave us all a toothy werewolf grin. Which usually makes your blood
run cold.
"Man! It's sooo grrrood to see yourrr all again!" he replied. "When everrrr they go to
seerrr you I can't crrrum." he explained, I figured THEY were G.R., Jamie, Jodey, and
Sarah. "I was sent to get yourrr." he exclaimed.
"Well, you lead the way! We'll raph into tarodactols and fly above you." Madilin
decided.
"Oh yea, then we'll be the BIG one." Brain mumbled.
Brad growled and turned to stare at the small genie-pig on the floor. "I heard thrrrat.
You'll be crrrumin' with merrr." Brad, with one quick arm movement, swung brain up into
his chest and gripped him tightly. Then, looking down at Brain Brad said "maybe we
shrrrould call yourrr Chocklet frrrom now on, I suppose it is beterrr then Brrrrain."
"Grrrr." Brain growled in thought speak and bit Brad on the figure who merely tossed
up his head and let out a laugh type growl.
"No! Hey, Brain, maybe we should name you Chocklet! No, wait! What about Charlie!
Then you could have your genie-pig nick name!" Amy suggest.
"Well." Brain thought about it. "I guess I could have a genie-pig name."
"Okay then, CHARLIE, and everyone else, lets RAPH!"
We raphed into Tarodactols. I was exactly 20ft tall/wide including wingspand. I was pink
and black, soooo cool!, and I had silver eyes. Once I was up in the air I looked down. I
saw tons of prarie and then trees to the far right of me with tall mountains behind them.
And far of in the distance to my left I saw the outline of a dark blue. The Sea. I loved the
Sea, so beautiful.
"What are thoughs?" Amy asked. I looked ahead once more and saw 4 dark blobs in the
distance.
"They look like other Tarodactols!" Madilin replied.
"And it seems like they're going to ram us!" Katie cried.
“What are you guys talking about?” Geek asked, suddenly gripping onto Tryon’s
Tarodactol skin tighter. “Oh! Wait! Are you guys talking about those little black specks
that are coming out of the forest in front of us that are getting bigger as we speak?”
“Yeah, that would be them.” Katie replied.
“Something tells me those aren’t Tarodactols who want to make peace and have a nice
chat.” Jewel said.
“And you’re probably right.” Tryon replied. “Tarodactols are VERY aggressive creatures
and will KILL any rival that’s in their territory.”
I gulped. The Tarodactols were getting a lot bigger.
“Did you just say KILL?” Geek whimpered.
“MADILIN! I rrrr see somethingrrrr coming towarrrrds you.”
“Yeah Brad, they’re Tarodactol rivals and I THINK they want to kill us.” Madilin
answered.
“Well that’s wonderful!” Brain replied sarcastically.
Now the Tarodactols were about have a mile away and it didn’t look like they were going
to stop.
“Listen, whatever you do, do NOT let the Tarodactol take over. If you do that then the
Tarodactol will fight, and THAT is how you get killed. What you want to do is dodge the
attack.” Tryon was explaining this to us as the Tarodactols got closer.
Now they were so close I could see their faces! Faces with no expressions at all.
I kept flying, we all did. Tryon flew up. He knew he couldn’t swerve with Geek on his
back. Now it was 5 against 4. One Tarodactol showed me his teeth. And I knew, he was
coming for me. My mussels tensed. I was ready to dive, I was ready to dodge, to swerve.
10ft, 8ft, 5ft. I dove. . . DOVE TOO LATE!! It dove at the same time. He knew what i
was planning and he attacked!
WHAM! We hit heads and spun. Spun out of control!
PAIN! Horrible Pain burst through my Tarodactol’s body.
I was falling, falling, falling fast.
“TAYLOR! Taylor raph! Raph anything!” A voice, not Madilin’s, or Katie’s, or Amy’s,
or Jewel’s, or Brain’s, or Geek’s, or Herchhetokey, where was she anyway?, or even
Tryons. . . “TAYLOR!! RAPH!!!” G.R.’s voice. . .
