Prophecy ~Book 1 in the Pure Light in the Pitch Dark series~

Terra Agua

"Awwwww! I wanna go!" whines Wolfa.

"Yeah! I want to go too! I'm eleven years old for Pete's Sake!" says Tails. I give him a weird look. I thought he was younger. All the Freedom Fighters and my gang is out by the stairs, waiting to go to Terra Auga. But right now, Wolfa and Tails were mad cause they couldn't go. Sally wouldn't let Tails go and Foxy wouldn't let Wolfa go.

"Let them come," I say.

"Yeah! Tails is like a Freedom Fighter in training and Wolfy could be too," says Sonic.

"It's Wolfa," mumbles Wolfa. "Come on Sis! I don't remember what the city looks like and I haven't been out of Atlantis since I was like three. Three!"

"We don't know what is even in the city... Theres a chance it could be destroyed or crawling with robots. And I don't want to have to watch you the entire time," Foxy says.

"You're mean," says Wolfa as she crosses her arms and puts her face in an adorable pout.

"You can go Wolfa, I'll watch you," I say and Foxy looks at me with her jaw dropped.

"If Wolfa gets to go, why can't I?" whines Tails.

"Yeah I'll watch him Sal," says Sonic.

"Okay, the kids can come. But if anything bad happens to them..." says Sally.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not your fault I know," says Sonic. Him and Tails exchange a high five.

"Does this mean I can stay here?" asks Antoine.

"Why Ant, you scared of a big city?" teases Sonic.

"No I'm just tired and..." Antoine started to make up some excuses.

"You just stay here and relax Sweetie," says Bunny.

"I can take you back to the city if you want," says Molly.

"You're not coming with?" asks Boomer.

"Naw, I have some work to do," she says.

"What are you working on?" asks Boomer.

"Just some nicknacks and other projects," shrugs Molly.

"Could I stay too and check some of them out?" Boomer asks.

"Sure. Now are we ready to go?" asks Sally.

"Yeah, we should be," I say.

"Be careful," Mr. Owl warns. "And keep your eyes closed and your ears open.... You never know about what lurks in the shadows."

"We will," all of us who are going said in unison.

And with that we start to walk back up the stairs. This time, no spiders came and attacked me. When we are at the top, Sonic asks, "Why does that Owl dude talk in riddles all the time?"

"Sonic," Sally warns.

"What?" Sonic says.

"Cause he is very wise and that's just how he talks," says Foxy.

"But he doesn't make any sense! Why would we keep our eyes closed?" Sonic says, frustrated. I shake my head as I freeze time and unfreeze the bunch. I open the door and start to head out with everybody fallowing behind.

"It's a figure of speech," I roll my eyes. "He was saying that you can't see what hides from you... So instead you have to listen to hear if there's any enemies in the shadows," I explained. Sonic still looks confused, but not as much as he was before.

"Don't worry Sonic, I can't ever understand them either," says Wolfa as she shrugs.

I give Foxy the look saying 'control your sister'. But she just smirked. "You said that you would watch her," she waves a finger at me. Everybody laughs including myself.
