pointed at my watch with hungry eyes. Annabelle and Jason eyes fell on me. Well what are you waiting for give it to him Jason hissed. I quickly pulled my arms against me touching the golden watch on my wrist oh no! I said this is my mother’s watch I can’t give it to that! We have no choice Caraline please we really need his help Annabelle cried. I shook my head absolutely not I said stubbornly. Jason sighed and turned to Juju. First tell us where to go then we give you the watch. Oh no I know your dirty little tricks Juju said I will tell you show guys and your probably going to run away the minute I tell you, isn’t that so? He said. You are a shrewd little midget aren’t you I asked. Juju just shrugged and smirked stupidly. You could put it that way if you want he said. Oh God! I whispered. Here I said throwing the watch at him. He caught it with his fat chubby fingers. My, good heart you have. He laughed; suddenly a raven came and swept him up. Good bye! He yelled 15 feet up the ground. Hey wait! Jason yelled. What the hack! Annabelle said looking pissed. We could never trust anyone I thought, guys where is that growling coming from? I said. We looked back. We saw about 20 wolves. They looked viscous as if they hadn’t eaten for a long time. I knew perfectly that we were there next prey. What do we do? Annabelle squeaked shutting her eyes. We looked at the wolves in terror none of them were friendly. Unexpectedly one of the wolves rose up and howled. It was soooooooooo loud I had to put my hands in my ears. All the wolves came at us in rapid movements, ready to attack. I could see there anticipation and ambition in there eyes. WE ARE HERE FELLAS! The wolves stopped dead. What the hack. We looked back we saw Juju and a million or a billion of crows and people like him. They came at the wolves like a battle in a war. We saw in awe. These small little creatures just knocked down a pack of wolves. Wow you guys know how to kick butt Jason said looking amused. There was screaming, snarling and fighting for a long time. Slowly each of the wolves left. Many of the wolves were really hurt, some maybe even dead, Aw man thanks juju Jason said that was awesome. EHH that’s nothing’ Juju said. Tell you what if any trouble like this happens just whistle. How are you opposed to hear us? I asked. We creatures have amazing hearing abilities. How amazing Annabelle questioned. You don’t need to now he said. He winked and said well we be going now. The ravens landed on the ground and swooped each creature and flew up to the sky. Bye we yelled. Wow I said I doubted him. So now where we go? Annabelle said he never told us which way to go Jason said sucking his teeth. Wait I think I now where to go I said snatching the map from his hands. We go northwest. You’re sure because? Jason said squinting at me. Because stupid it says go northwest from the barrier. And barriers are something’s that gets in you ways and it seems impossible to get to the other side. So you’re saying the barrier is the wolves? Jason said. Exactly I said. Coraline that brilliant Annabelle exclaimed. I am brilliant remember I laughed. Whatever Jason said trying hard not to smile. So eventually we went North West. Wow that’s beautiful Annabelle whispered. The white lake was big and it actually had white water or some other liquid. Oh my god Jason said. We ran to the lake. I slowly touched the liquid. It felt exactly like water. The minute I touched it the water bubbled. Abruptly something huge rose up. And I didn’t know what it was. Honestly I don’t even want to know.

Chapter 4
Water monster
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING! Annabelle screamed. Move out of the way! Jason yelled as the thing lunged at me. I quickly move back still looking at it in shock and awe. Come on get up Annabelle cried we have to move! Gosh what do we do I said. I breathed heavily and thought like my life depended on it. I looked around helplessly. There Jason pointed a finger at this big rock with three swords sticking out of the smooth plateau. We ran to it. Grab a sword everybody Jason told us and hurry. But we can't get it out Annabelle said this is hopeless. Here let me try to take yours out and you try to take mine out I stated. Annabelle nodded. I tugged at the sword and surprisingly it slid out perfectly. Alright! I nodded grinning. But I can’t take yours out either Annabelle gasped. Let me try Jason said grabbing the butt of the sword. And what do you know it slid out perfectly. Cool this sword is soo cool he bragged. So that means I can take this out perfectly Annabelle thought. She put her hands on the hilt of the sword and pulled it up. It slid out perfectly. I got it out! Annabelle pranced. ROAR! Hurry I don’t think that monster is patient I screamed. Wait Annabelle stopped us look it says something. We look at the smooth surface. It said:
Use these swords well. You will find out which sword is whose. Keep it with you at all times. It will help you with your mission. It’s a gift from the white lake.
All of a sudden the writing disappeared. What? I looked at the disappeared text. How did that-ROAR! Come on! I hope that isn’t a gift either? Jason yelled. Jason ran to the monster when it squatted down. But it quickly slapped its tale on Jason. And it hit him backwards. Jason is you okay I said with a panicky voice. Oh god I snarled at the monster. “Distract it” I whispered to Annabelle. She nodded looking frightened. I sneakily ran around the water. Behind the monster I saw it's horrible and nasty tail swaying there. I quickly got on top of the tail making my way to the head. Good Annabelle and Jason who just joined in to distract the monster. I stabbed its head couple of times. It hissed trying to shake me of. But I held its two horns for dear life. Suddenly I saw words on my sword. It read:
“Stab the eye of the Montuzume.”
SO this thing was called a Montuzume? I shrugged and stabbed its huge and scary eye. It screamed and hissed. I lost my balanced and I fell 20 feet down. I plummeted into the water with a big splash. It wasn't pleasant the liquid was freezing. I struggled trying to get out but with all the commotion the Montuzume was making I couldn't. I could hardly breathe I drank too much of it. I was going to drown. Is it going to end this way? I just got started, did I fail? I was drifting off then everything faded to blackness. I woke up with a start. I coughed out some water. Are you okay? Annabelle asked calmly. Yeah I replied. What? How am I alive? We saved you obviously big head Jason said looking away. How? I whispered having hard time breathing. After you fainted Jason and I grabbed you out of there. What about the Montuzume? You mean the big monster thing Jason asked. Yeah, I answered. Oh it died; Annabelle and I were amazed of how it died so quickly Jason replied. Those were the most horrible minutes of my life Annabelle exclaimed still looking terrified, how did you know to hit the eye? I don’t remember I rubbed my head, trying to think. Oh well, I am just glad that everything’s over Annabelle said sighing. No it’s not; we have a lot more to go. We aren’t even halfway there! Jason said looking tense and very serious. Ugh! Imagine how worse our trips are going to be I said with a groan. That Montuzume was nothing compared to the real thing we would have to face in the future Annabelle Jason muttered. Oh my! Annabelle whimpered. Don’t worry I said trying to cheer up everyone as long as we face our challenges with confidence and team work we would kick some demon butt. Exactly Annabelle said laughing. Jason smiled and said of course we wouldn’t fail. I assume we would excel more Annabelle said with a strong tone. Hopefully! I said, pleased that my words put everyone to the right path. I don’t know about you guys but I am really hungry Jason declared holding his growling stomach. Me too Annabelle whined. I don’t know what to do guys I murmured. Hey don’t you think there’s a village around here? Jason said. Of course there is! Out of no where we heard a voice in the bushes. He came out, we new exactly who he was, and boy we were glad to see him. It was Oliver one of the hultarials. Hello heroes he greeted us, you did very well on your mission. I consent you guys for that. However, I am afraid that this isn’t the last one he said. On the bright side though, you would have a wonderful stay in the village I would be sending you to. There you shall practice and learn magic, fighting, and other great abilities. I assure you that you would be welcomed and treated with great hospitality. Thank you Annabelle said, No Annabelle, thank you he said smiling back at her. Jason and I both thanked him as well. Okay you would be leaving very shortly, Oliver told everyone to follow him. It was a very long and dragging hike for all of us, especially in an empty stomach. I realized we were there when we heard the voices of the villagers, as we made our way up we saw not very far away a small village with lights and warm greetings. Wow this village is very lively Annabelle mumbled her eyes sparkling. Indeed it is I am pleased you guys like it Oliver said. Here we are I thought to myself, it going to be fun staying here for a while. For some reason I knew that this small village will put me in ease for a while. The village with warm welcome………….


Chapter 5
The village of warm Welcome
It was a pleasure escorting you guys here Oliver alleged I very well hope that you will definitely enjoy your stay and remember practice well, believe me it would be necessary. Okay we all said in unison. He smiled and with that he disappeared through the trees and into the mountains. Can we please go now Jason pleaded I have never been this hungry in my life! Come on Annabelle ordered as we followed her down the hill to the village. As we got closer to the village the noise was getting boisterous. Everyone in the village was buzzing with laughter and conversation. Suddenly someone noticed us. He at first squinted at us trying to guess who we were. His squinted face then turned into a jolly wide grin. They are here! He yelled in such loud voice. Everybody stopped there talking. All eyes set upon them. Believe me it was really an awkward silence. Hello Jason said smiling nervously and waving his hand. The crowd all screamed and applauded for some reason. A mid aged man with mousy red hair walked up to us and greeted us warmly. You guys are the noble heroes he said his mouth full of laughter
