"I am listening Pen... Do you know what it means? Please tell me" I begged an astounded Penelope. She looked at me. Her dark brown eyes piercing through my soul. 'Should I be scared.....?' I thought.
She gave me a dry smile and took my hands in hers.
"If you wanna know then... sure"
|•••|
I look at her pleadingly as my curiosity was eating into me further. Something was telling me that I was the only one who hadn't discovered the truth yet. I could feel the intense stares I was getting. I had no idea what was going on!
Penelope took a big breath before continuing.
"So..... the thing is...."
Just as she was about to say the floors started to move with a great force. All the great pieces of glass carved beautiful vases hit the ground shattering all around. The colossal chandelier was vibrating violently as the candles placed on it showered all over the place.
Jack scooped me up as I was still not recovered enough to run. We all started to run as the chaos surrounding us changed to a pleasant salty air. 'wow again....teleportation... cool...'. The heat of the sand was rising up as the noises from behind us were getting louder and closer.
Penelope summoned the hippogriffs as Jack placed me on Ted and hoped on, He stroked the beast to take off. He placed his hands on either side of my waist supporting me.
We were in the sky looking over the sea in no time. Alongside us were Crusty and Olive bearing Penelope and Conall with the three Rs. Guiding us was the winged unicorn with Isabella. I furiously turn around to face Jack.
"Where is Lila!!!???" I wailed.
"Whoa! Calm down, princess! She is gathering the others. She will meet us on the Island"
"Others?" I asked as he nodded
I look down to find a pod of fifteen mermaids with bright shining hair flowing in the sea. Their slender bodies cut through the waves as they move over and under the water. They look beautiful!
I was dumbfounded to look at the sky far ahead of us to find multiple flying creatures soaring in the afternoon sun. We were all moving in one direction.

Towards a giant piece of land floating on the emerald green sea. It was glowing with thick green forests covering huge mountains. 'What is this place.....?'
Jack smiles wide at my reaction.
I was lost in my thoughts... All those questions... All these weird things happening to me and over spring break?! I was in a semi dreaming state. I haven't eaten since morning and it's past noon. I was weak from all the teleportation and episodes.
I leaned on to Jack who fixed his eyes on Isabelle. I slightly turn my head to look at his face. 'How come I did not realize Jack was this beautiful until now!' I pout.
Jack then turns his head to look at me. "Aww, you're such a baby!" He coos. I pout harder "I am not a baby!!" and he just laughs.
Unlike us, the three R's didn't seem to enjoy their ride as much... They had disconsolate faces on... almost regret showing up in their now pale skin. However, their downcast totally contrasted with the scenario around us. The translucent clouds around us were moving with us. The smell of the salty water was putting me to sleep.
I hug Ted's wide neck and buried my head into his fluffy feathers. I was so drowsy I drifted off to sleep in no time!
