Chapter Four

"Let's head to Edinbourgh. There's a tavern there that is reasonably sanitary." Salazar said.

"Unlike you." Godric said, grinning. He shifted his wand to his other arm and turned to face Salazar.

"Oh, look who's suddenly got a sence of humor. Well at least I have a life." Salazar said, returning his friends grin.
How Godric would wished he could still see that grin. (Sheesh, stop foreshadowing.)

"I know you love me Sal." Godric said.

"Boys, play nice." Rowena said. They laughed and Helga snorted a bit.

"Fine to Edinbourgh." Godric said with finallity*. He was like the leader of the group, always deciding the best solution after listening to his friend debate.

"To Edinbourgh!" chorused the other three. They mounted their broom sticks and kicked off.

"I hate flying!" Helga exclaimed. Helga was afraid of heights. Her hands were gripping the handle of her broom so tight, her knucles were turning white.

"Helga, relax." Rowena said soothingly. Rowena was the only one who could calm down the other three. This was a good thing when Salazar went in to one of his rants or Godric got too bored or Helga got scared.

Helga relaxed a bit but as soon as she did the wind blew a bit and she gripped the broom tighter than ever.
"How much longer?" Helga whined a few hours later.

"About four hours." Godric said. He loved flying and was not bothered by the long journey.

Helga groaned.

"Cheer up Helga!" Salazar exclaimed, he was enjoying the journey, too.

"Come on friends, think of the possibilites ahead!" Godric exclaimed.

End of chapter four.

Okay, next chapter...

Chapter Five

After flying on broomsticks for most of the day, the quartet landed by a lake in a forest. They Summoned some fish for supper, and Salazar, who was surprisingly good at cooking, fried them with some herbs. Before long, the fire and the air around it smelled delicious. Rowena took some water in a large bowl and gave her wand a complicated little wave. All the germs, much, bits of seaweed, and fishy taste went out of the bowl so that there was clean, clear, cold water for therm to drink.

"You know," said Godric when they were all munching happily, "I think we've made pretty good progress. We should be in Scotland in about a week." He took a bite of fish. "Thank you for cooking this, Salazar," he added, nodding to his best friend.

Salazar nodded back. He swallowed his sip of water. "We should probably get to bed soon," he said in his deep, clever voice.

"I'm going to get more water first," said Rowena. Everyone agreed heartily, except Helga, who agreed, but more softly. Rowena got up, took the empty bowl from the ground, and walked, barefoot, over to the lake. She knelt and held the bowl under the freezing-cold water. She began to lift it out, but a slimy, cold thing closed over her wrist. She gasped in surprise and tried to pull her arm out. Whatever was in the water tugged back, pulling her in. Her whole arm was immersed in ice-cold lake water now. Rowena screamed, terrified.

Salazar's head jerked up. He squinted towards the lake. Rowena seemed to be fighting something in the water. Her screams echoed off the lake and around the campsite. Salazar leapt up and ran towards her.

But Helga was faster. She jumped up and seized Godric's sword from the sheath on his waist. He protested, but she was already running, running towards Rowena. Helga raised the sword above her head. She landed on her knees beside Rowena. Something slimy was wrapped around Rowena's whole arm by this time. Helga swung the sword and hoped she wouldn't miss.

OK i know it's short but live with it

Chapter Six.

The blade landed percicely with a load THWACK!

"Helga you did it!" Rowena exclaimed savoring her timid friend's rare braverisim*.
Rowena looked down at her arm, there were odd circular marks where the thing had touched her.
She was unharmed but a bit shaken nonetheless.

"Are you all right?" Godric asked her offering his hand, she took it and steadied herself. "What was that?" he inquired, his brown eyes concerned. Poor Rowena, he thought, she never did like the water.

"It- it was a-a sq-squid..." Helga stammered, utterly disturbed by the events of the last five minutes.

Salazar made his way to the waters edge and fished out a squid about 10 feet long and 3 feet wide.

"Sal what are you doing with that?" Godric asked.

"Well, we are going on a long journey and dried squid is quite tasy..." Salazar said.

"Oh goodness no! I am never looking at a squid again, let alone digesting one!" Rownea protested.

"Don't be unreasonable Rowena." Godric said. "I too have heard squid is tasty, think about it is no more disgusting then eating a chicken."

"Godric. Blast it when you're right!" Rowena pouted.

"I-i like chicken." Helga put in timidly.

"All right then, Godric help me cut this thing up." Salazar said.

"OK Sal." Godric said and within the hour they had.

Then the four mounted their brooms and set out again.

End of chapter six.
*not a word but what the heck

Paint.the.Limelight · 12-18-2007, 09:17 PM

Braverism?
