Free Sealing Death by Basil E. Bacorn Page B

bad idea.
     
          The lion was going to get them. They were doomed. The beast pounced above their heads and landed in front of them. Stella dropped Charlie on the ground and froze. The lion strutted closer and roared in Stella's face, blowing her hair back. They are in big trouble.
     
     
          Susan and the twins waited patiently as James paced around them. And he thought the night Susan went into labor was stressful. They had to wait for a fire, in a different world, before they could get out of the mountain range. Ha! "Lion." Vander whispered.
          Susan looked at her son. "Please don't say we have company." she plead. "We don't," Vanessa clarified, "Charlie and Stella do." Oh no! They are just children! There is no way that Stella will be able to fend off a lion! "He has bad breath." Vander added, "Poor Stella."
          Susan looked up. This was it. This is when one dies. Wait, but there's two of them. Stella must run away and leave Charlie? That can't be it. "Vander, Vanessa, can you get a hold of Sisilla?" Susan asked. She had helped them once; she would definitely help them again!
     
     
          Cassie and Will soon found a rushing river, but it would take too long to walk. Cassie whisked her hand and made a kayak. "I hope you can hang on tight!" Cassie yelled, shoving Will inside. Cassie jumped on and with a snap, they were riding the waves of the Tiskalebeen River.
     
     
          Stella couldn't move. The lion swatted her to the side and looked down at his meal: Charlie. "No!" Stella screamed, reaching in her pocket and pulling out a cough drop. She threw the package at the lion and it hit him in the eye. The lion shook ferociously and roared. It leapt at Stella and was froze in mid-air. It landed with a thud two feet from her. "Sisilla?" Stella called.
          "You bunch find yourself in a lot of trouble." she sighed, "A lot." The Ice Queen walked up to Stella and looked down on her. "As much I want to change my image, I won't be able to come every time you need me." the queen explained, "With that in mind, I do have a present for you." Sisilla twirled her hand and pointed at Stella's heart. A light stream of snow drifted from the queen to Stella, giving the latter a chill.
        "Now you can save yourself." she whispered excitedly. She raised both of her arms and disappeared in an explosion of snow.
     
          Save herself? What did that mean? Stella stood up and jumped back. The ground around where she had laid was covered with ice. "Did I do that?" she wondered quietly. Charlie! Stella ran over to her limp crush.
     
     
          Sir Arthur and Betty bought a golf cart from a local and loaded it with what Betty bought. "Get in!" Braddock ordered. Betty climbed in and sat in the passenger seat. When Sir Arthur got in the driver's seat, however, she shook her head. "I'm not letting some dead guy drive!" she informed, "I'll drive, just let me scooch over.” Betty slowly slid behind the wheel and honked until the knight got in. Mr. Braddock barely had time to sit down with what the grandma zoomed away.
     
     
          Cassie and Will flowed out of the jungle and into a lake. The water was as brown as mud. Cassie transported them to the shore. "Let's go to the closest town, and somehow signal the others." Will advised. Cassie pointed at the ground and a motorcycle took form. "Let's do this!" she announced as she hopped on. Will got on behind her and hung on as the magic bike rocketed over the landscape, leaving a trail of fire behind.
     
     
          "Are you okay?" Stella asked, patting Charlie's face. "Yes." he moaned, "At least I can move my other arm now."
          Stella had an idea. She shut her eyes tight and twirled her hand. When she opened them, it was snowing. "That didn't work." she sighed. Charlie gaped, "You did that!" Stella nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure Sisilla gave me whatever you call what she has." she began, "Ice magic
