of the Foretold with us, if we want to leave, that is."
"Yes." Will stated, "That's nice." Will forgot all the research he's ever done on nymphs, and stared at the ravishing creature. He was taken by her beauty.
"I agree with Will." Charlie sighed, also staring at Alesha. She was gorgeous. So alluring! Cassie! Charlie almost forgot! He couldn't believe the beauty of the nymph!
Mr. Braddock looked around at the boys. They were in a trance! The nymph! It can't be! But it was! The nymph had some sort of spell over her potential mates so she could easily pick the one of her choosing! The knight ripped out his sword and flew at the creature and pushed her down. "Take the spells off and I won't kill you!" Sir Arthur ordered.
"Spells?" Stella asked, "What do you mean?" Mr. Braddock looked up and replied, "I forgot something about nymphs. They use spells to draw in mates so they can take their pick."
Cassie was enraged! That fairy was trying to steal her man!
"It's our survival instinct." Alesha explained, "We love, so we can live. It's not my fault, when the spell wears off, we usually have to find a new love, which is why I wanted to go to the Realm of the Foretold where you can help me find one true love!" She snapped her fingers and the spell was lifted. Mr. Braddock stood up. "Why didn't it work on you?" Alesha asked the knight, "It's supposed to work on all living males."
"I'm dead." Sir Arthur stated, "So on the way back, I won't be here, because I'll be back in Death." The nymph nodded, "I understand."
The nymph stood and screamed, "Trees attention! The group with the automobile are free to leave at once!" She walked over to Stella and grabbed her head with both hands and held her inches away from her face. "Don't forget me." she whispered as she disappeared in a green mist.
Stella was still going to help her, but she was very uncomfortable with the nymph's hands-on approach.
The gang loaded up the van, and Stella swiped a few stones. The knight drove the van around and rocketed back to the crack.
Betty looked at the trees. They gave her chills, like they were watching her. "Stop the car!" she ordered and James obeyed.
"Bad choice!" Vanessa warned, but it was too late. Tree branches launched at the cop car and pulled them up to the treetops.
Susan looked down. No! Betty's minivan jetted under them towards the crack. "Siren!" she demanded. James flipped on the siren and the trees retracted their limbs all too fast. The car slammed on the ground and the fender fell off. "Follow them!" Susan told James. The cruiser swirled around and followed the minivan through the crack.
Vander looked at Vanessa and Vanessa looked back. "Slow down or more will die." they said. James slammed on the brakes just before they slid into the crack.
The Realm Of The Untold Part 1
"Where are we now?" Stella asked, looking at the dark surroundings. Will jumped up and yelled, "Stop the van!" The van came to a stop and off Will ran, with Cassie following. Charlie wasn't going to let those two be alone, so he too got out and followed. "Wait for me Char-Char!" Stella called, following everyone else's lead. "Aren't we supposed to be doing something?!" Sir Arthur hollered, "Oh well." Mr. Braddock left the van and ran after the teens.
Cassie finally caught up with Will. "What do you think you're doing!" she scolded. Will looked at her and beamed, "Look around, we are in a giant library. We are in the middle of the largest, untouched library in all of reality! This is the Realm of the Untold, as in the home to every secret in existence!" Cassie looked at Will. "How do they keep these secrets secret?" Cassie asked, finding herself closer to Will. "Oh no." he stammered, "I forgot! The library constantly changes! We may
