(Sorry for not getting this up earlier, I've been busy with stupid exams at school. DX)
"Scarlette and Joel are both going to be alright." The Doctor told them reassuringly. "Joel's injuries are a little madami severe, but they'll both be back to normal in a few days." He added. The group of penguins let out a sigh of relief and broke into chatter with each other. Heather just smiled and looked towards the door where her sister was. She got up silently, and poked her head around the corner. Scarlette was lying on a little bed, her eyes opening slowly. Heather walked up to her and managed a small smile.
"Hey sis." Scarlette greeted, sitting up in her bed.
"Are you ok?" Heather asked in a quiet, timid voice. Scarlette, took aback sa pamamagitan ng her sisters sudden decision to talk, nodded in response. The others trailed in after Heater, and crowded around the two beds, bursting with questions. They became so loud that the doctor had to tell them to go and leave the kids to rest. That night, Cassie's mind was active with buzzing thoughts. Her mind battled with thinking about her sister, and Joshua, who seemed to be getting sweeter everyday. She thought about his light kahel beak, and his dark brown hair and she blushed a little. She needed to tell him how she felt, but she was too shy to do so.
Maybe one araw i'll tell him.. She thought as she drifted off to sleep.
The susunod day, the sisters awoke slowly, as a soft ginto light shone into their room. Lexi groaned and pulled her blanket over her head, trying to get back sleep. She wasn't really a morning person. Unlike Erin how had shot out of kama and was already getting ready for school.
"Erin, we've still got an oras till we have to get up.." Lily mumbled, closing her eyes and snuggling down in her bed.
"Yes, but I want to check on Scarlette." Erin explained, brushing her hair, then zooming out of the little room. She popped her head back in and looked questioningly at her sisters. "Are any of you coming?" She asked. They all exchanged agonised looks, then got up reluctantly.
"Why didn't you wait till we were supposed to get up?" Becky asked, following her eager sister out.
"Because I wanna go for a swim if Scarlette is allowed out." Erin replied, belly sliding out of their ice cave tahanan and towards the small hospital. The araw was cold, but clear. The air was still, and there was not a single ulap to be seen. It was only just past sunrise, so a few lonesome stars still hung high in the slowly brightening sky. They entered the nearby hospital, and Heather had to stop Erin from rushing into Scarlette's room. She pointed into the room, and saw the doctor giving her a check up.
"You should be able to go tahanan now." He told Scarlette, who's face lit up in an instant. Her eyes fell on her friend who was asleep in his bed.
"What about Joel?" She asked curiously.
"He has to stay in for one madami day, but he will be fine." He replied. Scarlette smiled, then waddled over to the door, nearly jumping put f her feathers when she saw her sisters on the other side.
"I'm guessing this was your idea." Scarlette sinabi to Erin, who grinned and nodded.
"So, we were going to go for a swim, are you coming?" Lexi asked.
"Sure." Scarlette agreed brightly, following her sisters outside and towards the lake.
"Won't there be leopard seals in there?" Lily asked worriedly.
"Not at this time, they all usually come out around noon." Erin replied, as they reached the lake. She dived in and swam deep underwater. The other followed, splashing each other as they did.
"Wanna play underwater tag?" Becky asked. They all nodded, and Lexi decided that she would be on. The penguins swam around, giggling and messing around as they did so, not noting a dark shape approaching them quickly from the east. Erin turned her head and her jaw dropped.
"Oh crud, I forgot about Orcas." She realised, as she began to swim as fast as she could in the opposite direction. The others screamed an did the same thing, as the dark shape behind them got nearer.
"Quick, hide in that ship!" Cassie yelled, pointing towards a sunken ship at the bottom of the lake. Her sisters nodded and they swam towards it, and hid in what looked like a storage room. The Orca poked it's nose in, and growled,clearly being too fat to ft through the gap and eat them. It saw away angrily, and they waited until it was far off into the distance.
"Well that was a close- wait what's this stuff?" Scarlette asked, pointing towards a thick, pinkish brown liquid that floated around the room.
"I- I don't know it looks like oil, but oil is browny black..." Lily replied, touching a bit of it. It stung her flipper and she drew away quickly She looked down at the tip of her flipper, and her eyes widened in shock. A tiny tuft of feathers was now bright green. She was about to tell the others, when madami f the oil like substance filled the room, and started covering the frightened penguins. It went in their eyes, temporarily blinding them.
"We need to get out of her now!" Cassie said, swimming desperately towards the what she hoped was the surface, trying to shake the substance off her feathers. The penguins climbed about and flopped to the floor, rubbing their eyes and holding their sides in pain.
"Woah, that was strange!" Becky exclaimed, her eyes still closed. What they didn't know was that it was about to get even stranger....
