Sorry I took so long to post! Rebekah needed to edit, and then she decided to add her own POV at the end instead of notes. Sorry if anyone seems ooc, I am usually saying everything in my head, so if things go disjointed that is why, also, next chapter in production!
Peet struggled to his feet, where was he? Nittle Lugget was big? Where was he? Wingibys need him? They safe in Crooks and Bunnies? Smmoke! Smoke! WINGFEATHERS! I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!!
Nia had run into the cottage to get a few more dresses for Gracie and Rebekah, as they were both around Leeli's size. They all hopped into the wagon and rumbled off. Gracie and Rebekah quickly fell asleep on each other's shoulders, and Janner found himself staring at them with interest. Gracie wore a brilliant pink skirt and an orange shirt that said Best Big Sister! and Rebekah was wearing a blue dress with flowers all over it. He thought it was funny that the sword currently strapped around Gracie's waist didn't appear much out of place mixed in with her strange clothing. He noted that Rebekah, the quiet one, had something grasped tightly in her palm, even amidst her sleep. He grinned as Gracie murmured something in her sleep: "don't take that, its mine, don't take it Bekah!" Then his smile faded as he thought of how Mr. Reteep had been stabbed, and how he was leaving his entire life behind, except for his family. He fell asleep with rage burning in his heart against Gnag, the Fangs, and Zouzab Koit, that little ridgerunner he planned to run through the first chance he got.
Gracie woke up to an urgent shake, "Wake up! We need to go, quick!" stumbling up quickly with sleep still catching at her brain, she looked around completely confused, and nearly fell over to standing up too fast. Nia grabbed her arm, steadying her. The others were getting up around her, sitting up to this urgent command, holding their bundles, and standing waiting for the signal. When the signal came, they ran long and hard, as fast as Leeli could run. Though Gracie hated to admit it, she could barely keep up, and her legs and lungs were on fire by the time they paused. They paused in front of an ancient, old house, and started inside. They came to a steep dropoff into the ground, some cellar or something. Janner was hesitating, "What about the ghost??" he cried, and Gracie stared at him. "There's no such thing as ghosts. Even I know that!" Janner's cheeks heated up at this, especially coming from a girl Tink's age. Podo nodded, and quietly said, "Not anythin' but t'wind, hurry on." Janner nodded and jumped into the cellar.
Peet ran through town, dimly aware of many Fangs on the road to Glipwood. The Fangs had run away with Krak but then regrouped a bit down the road, and now they were returning, fast. Peet was not aware of this completely, he just knew they were coming. He searched the town quickly, but couldn't find anyone but the Shoosters. "Joe! Addie! Igifeathers!" he cried, and they looked at him with concern. "Peet!" Addie cried, and he looked at her. Joe told him quickly, "It's probably safer in the woods, that's where the Igibys went if I'm not mistaken. Sad be the day in Glipwood when it's safer in the forest!" Addie nodded, distraught, "Go to them, Peet! Keep yourself safe! They were rescued from a lot of Fangs by a couple of young girls from another world, crazy that I say these things, but I found a couple bags I believe they left behind, take them, and stay safe with the Igibys!" Peet, confused by this deluge of words, took the two small but heavy bags and ran for his tree house.
(sorry if that sounds weird... it was thrown in on the final edit...lol)
They had gotten to safety but heard Fangs nearby. Podo looked at the two older kids, trying to decide what to do. He abruptly made up his mind and gave a volley of instructions: "Janner, grab t' lantern 'n foller me, Gracie, if that's yer name, draw yer sword, 'n foller me as well. Tink, keep yer Ma and the girls safe" and then wrenched open the door suddenly holding a spear and shield. He walked into the quiet beyond, and they followed him hesitantly. They shut the door behind them, and for a while, it was quiet in the narrow tunnel. However, this didn't last long, as halfway through, the first of the hundreds of Fangs reached them. Podo fought his way up the narrow tunnel, and when they reached the cellar, yelled at Janner to light the woodpile, however, Janner already had. Gracie stood there, not sure why she was there, and Podo, getting hurt when he had looked at the fire, yelled at them to get into the tunnel. Janner and Gracie ran towards the secret room, breathing deeply. Janner asked between breathless breaths, "So, what is it like in your world?" and Gracie responded, "Not like this!"
Janner was fortunate that she was slightly out of breath; otherwise, she would have asked why he had asked such a senseless question and taken five minutes doing so. They burst into the room, where Tink was holding a short sword, and looking like he was ready to kill anything that passed the door. "Grampa's coming, Fangs right behind him!" Janner said, out of breath. Podo burst through the door, and two Fangs followed him before Gracie could shut the door. Tink had killed one, and the other fell on Nia's blade. Leeli cried out, Podo was slumped across the step, his face pale. Gracie's eyes widened, and she shrunk into one of the corners. She knew the situation was dire, she just didn't know how much, and she didn't want to embarrass everyone by saying something stupid. Instead, she watched Rebekah, who somehow was fast asleep in the other corner underneath a cloak, until her eyes drooped and she lost her train of thought to sleep.
Bekah wanted to put her POV in instead of notes. She said it was hard to think of what to say... so here is her much appreciated addition!
Rebekah was dreaming about home. They would have started school today, and she was glad and sad she missed it. The way she was dreaming was strange. She seemed to be floating above the ground, and people couldn't see her. All of a sudden she was in this giant play room with Gracie, and Gracie was holding something small in her hand. Rebekah looked over and jumped. There were these people that looked like lizards, but she knew they were human. Then one ran straight at her and Gracie screaming crazily, "The jewels! jewels jewels jewelsyies!" It turned to a whisper and it breathed down their necks, then she woke up to chaos erupting around her like a homeschool co-op lunchroom...
Pease tell me if anyone seems OOC or anything. I know Bekah and I aren't smile but I'm not sure about the others. Also, I was trying to post some screenshots of fanart, but it said it was unable to upload. Help would be appreciated! Also, any advice on how to make my writing style easier to read would be appreciated.
