Thank you Al.
Chapter 9:
Dawn broke, the sky was red and orange......
Shirley blinked rapidly, her eyes stung...
Zip was sitting next to the fire, roasting a paramite he caught with his spear.
Shirley looked at Zip.
"I never wash the blood off my spear." He said boldly.
"It's my tribe's tradition."
Shirley nodded and Zip passed her a paramite pie freshly cooked.
They munched hungryliy.
Suddenly.........
Zip twitched viloiently,struggled......
Shirley glared strangley at Zip.
Frantically Zip began gagging for air, his arm reached out towards Shirley and his face went smack on the ground...
"ZIP!" Shirley gasped in horror while watching Zip having repeative spasms and gagging.
Shirley chanted to knock Zip out, to calm him down.
*zap*
Zip fell with a tump and bled.
Shirley froze in horror and stared scaredly at the body.
Zip's body twitched and had a spasm, his back-bone stuck out more than ever.
Zip looked up.
Shirley gasped, his eyes widened with fear.
Zip's eyes turned an evil jet black,and he grinned eviliy at Shirley.
"Time to get back to where we were bub....."
"You lied to me!! You said you didn't remember what happened the other night......"shrieked Shirley pointing at Zip.
Zip laughed.
"Let's finish this, my dear Mud.......and I will return you to your rightful owner......Mallet!"
"Mallet......."repeated Shirley in a whisper.
Zip kicked his spear up and caught it with one hand, while he gestured.
"Come on then......fight me. I'll doubt you'll last a minute, but I'll be fair....." Zip held his spear and licked the blade of blood......
Shirley glared at him.
"I gladly apect the challagne......."
Shirley fetched her staff, full of magic and charged herself up.
The Battle had Began.................
More Coming Soon...............
