Snippet #1709413

Bennett looked around his room and wondered when Phoinex would get back. He had been gone for longer than he should have been. He looked quickly out the window, while pacing, and saw nothing. "Well, maybe if I take a nap, he'll be back by the time I wake up." Bennett walked over and collapsed on his bed.

Phoinex flew one more giant circle before landing in a tree. "This girl ... I swear! This is impossible to do when I have no idea whatsoever of her whereabouts. Alright, let me see where would I be if I was that ... crazy ... irrispondsible ... child." He flew in a random diraction for a few minutes, and, low and behold, there was Clara, appearently burying something. Phoinex landed beside her, on one of the piles and waited for her to notice him.

Clara streached as she threw the shovel towards the forest. "That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. They were really light, compared to the others I had to bury." As Clara turned around, a bird-like figure caught my eye. She quickly turned around and tackled the figure in front of her. When she got up, she realized it was Phoinex. "Oh, sorry buddy! Why are you here," she said as she picked the bird up. "Your brother wanted me to tell you to come home. He's worried sick, and you know who has to worry about him when he's worked up about you?" Clara rolled her eyes as the bird waited for her answer. "You have to worry about him. Look, I found a friend, and him and I are going to stay in this house. He just had to leave to take care of some ... buisness, I guess. He should be back soon." Clara smiled at he bird and made a shooing motion. "Fine, but I'll make sure that when you come back, you get an earful from your brother." With those last words, the bird was off in the sky.

Clara was confused at first, but she ended just pushing it to the side. "Alright," she said as she made her way into the house. "The bedroom is over ... here. I'll take the pilows and sheets from there and make some beds on the couches in the living room. Then I'll see if they have any food to make some dinner with." She ran out to the living room with her arms full of blankets, and set out the pillows and blankets. Then she headed into the kitchen, when she heard a sudden noise, almost distant. She went outside and looked around. "Let's see," she said as she looked around. She followed the noise and corrupt smell into the forest. After a minute or two of rnning, she came to a group of lizard men and Alumit. "Oh my gosh," she gasped. She had see those types of monster's in her study books, but never in real life. They were worse than she imagined. She saw that Alumit need help, but she didn't know what to do. She fell asleep when she was being tought to kill these monsters. "How can I help if I end up dead," she whispered to herself and climbed a tree. Clara hopped from tree to tree until she was above the fight. "I have to think of something and quick." She stared at the fight as she thought of a spell that might be helpful. "Alumit," she whispered down to the man. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
