chapter 12: Am
So Candy arrived. Some nonsense went down. Long story short, E ended up on the ground with Max standing on top of him and Sam knocked him out. He was only inches from my feet. I looked at his blood stained face. He didn't even appear to have skin underneath it.
I turned away and puked up more water. I shoved more snow in my mouth and began my process of cleaning out my throat once again.
"I'm going to go get a fish from the river." I stated weakly.
"I'll come with you. May, would you and Sam please take care of E." Max replied as he came to my side.
"What about me?" Candy asked quietly. Max looked at her. She was shivering a lot. Max produced a cloud for her to sit on, then he reached a large, yellow hand into our tent. It came back out holding the blanket I let E borrow. The hand held it out to Candy, who hesitantly took it.
After Candy got settled and Max and I were confident that Sam and May had things taken care of, Max and I walked to the river.
The deer that May and Sam caught, were still tied up. They were eaten up by other animals and had ice formed around them a little bit.
The water wasn't fully frozen over yet. I saw a few fish trying to swim against the current. Because of this, they were slowed down. I acted quickly and plunged my hand into the water. I pulled it back out with a fish. I turned to Max and found that he had a cloud basket that had a few fish in it already. I frowned and threw my fish into the basket.
"Oh don't be so jealous." Max said playfully.
"Hey, I've done pretty good at this considering the fact that I don't have any special abilities." I retorted.
"Sure you have." I looked at him again. He created a fishing net. In it were a few fish that he emptied into the basket. I threw the one I was holding in with them.
We decided we had enough fish. We carried them back to the snow covered campsite. I dumped snow into the fish basket to chill the fish, as Max started a fire.
After the fire got going, I impaled a fish with a stick and cooked it over the fire. Max, seemingly knowing what I was doing, summoned Candy's cloud over to the fire. I handed her the stick, that contained a fully cooked fish. I then cooked four more fish. For Max, Sam, May, and I.
When they were done, we all sat quietly eating our fish. Candy was nervous and shaking. We gave her another blanket but there's only so much we could do to warm her up.
May, Sam, Max, and I have been living in this forest for a very long time. We are no longer affected by the snow what so ever. Sam and I are both still wearing shorts and couldn't care less about the snow. The island happens to be some what of a tropical island. So the people don't get a whole lot of snow.
E began to wake up. May and Sam had tied him by his wrists so that he was hanging out of a tree. He was gagged with a piece of cloth that was tied around his mouth. His ankles were bound together and the splint he had made himself, was replaced with a large stick.
He groaned as he began to lift his head and open his eyes slightly. He looked around and opened his eyes wider. He squirmed and let out muffled screams as he began to try to get out. His screams are what alerted Sam and May that he was awake.
Sam, naturally, walked over to him and punched him in the gut.
"Be quite," He barked. E stopped screaming and held still "You listen here. I'm going to remove the cloth from around your mouth. You are going to explain to me what the hell is going on. If you try to use your magic, I will kill you. Deal?" E nodded.
Sam took the cloth out of E's mouth and stood with his arms crossed, waiting for E to speak.
