Chapter ll A dark surprise

“Varonda......” said the deep and dark voice. Varonda sat up in her bed. She heard the thumps coming closer and closer. She lit her candle beside her bed and said: “Who's there, show yourself!” The thumping stopped, Varonda was worried that maybe the person had come to the top of the stairs. But not that worried, what if it was Kim? But Kim wouldn't scare her like that. “Who are you?!” shouted Varonda. “Come on wimp! SHOW YOUR SELF!” Varonda was quiet for a moment, in case the person spoke without her noticing. No one spoke. Varonda decided to remain quiet, so she could hear any noises. (If there were any) Then the voice spoke again. A bit clearer than last time. “Varonda, come to me. Come to the dark side and....” Varonda knew whose voice it was, exactly whose it was. Zahl's voice. Varonda jumped out of bed with her candle before Zahl could say the rest of his sentence and quickly took her sword out from under the bed and jumped out of the window. Varonda had forgotten that her bedroom was on the second floor. But she still remembered the lightning cloud spell. She made a cloud (lightning cloud) out of magic underneath her self in mid-air. Varonda sat down on the lightning cloud while it lowered her down to the ground. Varonda ran, ran far away to the centre of the village and through a little passageway underground. It was originally built to hide in for the second world war. But can still be used now incase...

Varonda used her candle to light a torch then she dropped her candle and then used the torch instead. Varonda walked slowly down the passageway until she found a bench, dirty but good to sit on. Varonda wondered why her powers worked. Since they only work when the powers know that you need them. Varonda didn't need them at home on earth, since there's no danger there. That means that her powers must have known that Varonda needed them tonight. “If I need my powers, and Zahls back. Then Kim's probably here to get me! They need my help if Zahl is back, don't they?” thought Varonda.

She heard something further away in the underground passageway. “It's Kim!” thought Varonda. She went running towards the sound. But that didn't look like Kim. It seemed more like a goblin! “Oh no, not again!” Varonda saw it now, it was more then one goblin, there were like ten of them! Varonda ran as fast as she could towards the exit. But there were more goblins, chasing her from BOTH SIDES! Varonda thought that if her powers really do work, then she must be able to use them now! So Varonda made a lightning bubble around her self. It worked! If you hit the bubble, then its like being struck by lightning. She ran to the exit in her bubble, shoving all of the goblins out of her way. They all fell on the floor, cause of the terrible shock of being struck. Varonda got out of the passageway. She ran into a narrow path between houses. “The only safe place I'll be is in a human house, cause martians know that they can't show themselves or their powers to humans. But any neighbour will be fast asleep and I will have NO explanation!” thought Varonda.

So Varonda had to carry on walking, through the paths hiding and waiting for Kim or any other good martian to come and explain what's going on. Varonda removed her bubble. She didn't want any human to see her in a bubble. So she tried to stay awake walking through the narrow, wet and cold paths. Keeping quiet and looking out for any danger. Varonda began to get sleepy. So she found some empty wooden boxes. She also found an old cushion and a dirty thrown away blanket. She made a fort type of thing with the boxes so no one would see her. Human or martians. And used the blanket and cushion for lying on. She also put a bubble around herself in case any dark side martian would see her and take her. Varonda had a dream while she was sleeping:

Varonda dreamt that Zahl took over the Kingdom, and sent Valeria, Queen Merada and Kim to jail. And tortured all the remaining good martians and stole from them. He took their powers away, and sent them to earth and made them bad so they would destroy the village Varonda lived in, including her house...

Its was morning, and Varonda was safe but still scared. She feared her dream, what if it was real? Varonda wondered.....
