Description

Chapter 9

AN: Just so you're all aware, Victoria and Ryan are now seven years old. Anna and Louise are five years old. Ryan knows he is Obscurio's son now.

Toby's POV

I watched as Tori scampered past, clearly intent on exploring Gorm on her own. I didn't think it was a good idea, after all anything could happen. I have to face facts, though. My little girl is growing up.

"Wow." I hear her say, as she determinedly raced toward the path. She still didn't seem to have spotted me yet.

"Whoa." I say, gently grabbing her and placing her back where she started. She looks up at me and groans.

"Daddy. Let go!" She giggles uncontrollably.

"I just want you to be careful. Gorm can be a dangerous place when you're alone." I say seriously, only to find that instead of paying attention to what I'm saying, Tori was trying to leap onto a rock. I grab hold of her leg,successfully preventing her from going anywhere. As I correctly predicted, she glared at me before pulling herself free.

"Tori, are you even listening to a word I say? Accidents happen. You could easily get-"

"Hurt, kidnapped, or even get lost!" She scoffs, rolling her eyes.

Jessica then appears from behind me, laughing slightly, "Mind your father, Tori."

Tori smiles, "Yes Mom!"

"One more thing: stay away from the Lava Nation. You can never turn your back on a Lava Gormiti."

Tori frowns, looking puzzled. "Really? How come?" She looks from me to Jessica earnestly

I sigh, "Um, never mind. Just run along now." I say, letting her know I have no intention of telling her yet.

"But, Dad, I-" she protests, clearly having realised that.

"Go on." I say, giving her a nudge toward the path. After looking back at Jessica, who smiles at her, it seems that Tori had all the encouragement she needed, and within seconds, she had disappeared from view.

I sighed, causing Jessica to look up and smile. "Who does she remind you of?" She asks in a tone that expects me to know the answer. I do know the answer. Which is what scares me sometimes.

"Er, what? W-Who?" I say, evidently feigning confusion.

She gives me a weird look before responding, "Haven't you noticed? She's just like you were when you were young."

I decide to stop pretending I don't know what she's talking about. "Exactly. Remember all those situations we used to get ourselves into?"

She scoffs, "Don't you mean all the situations you used to get yourself into?"

I grin sheepishly. She kisses me, before heading for the cave. "She'll be fine," she says as she leaves, Nick and Lucas walking past her toward me. Great, just the people I wanted to see!

"Nick, Lucas, c'mere a sec! I need you!" I say urgently

Nick rolls his eyes at Lucas before saying sarcastically, "Good morning to you too, bro!"

Do they not know how much danger my daughter might be in? "Guys, I need you to watch Tori. You know as well I do she's bound to go off and explore the Lava Nation."

"Don't worry about it, Toby! We're on her like plants on an Earth Gormiti!" Lucas says, giving me a mock salute.

"I take offence to that!" Nick says, glaring at Lucas.

I interrupt before things start to get out of hand. "Guys, I'm counting on you here. Danger could be hidden behind every rock."

As they leave, Nick and Lucas make a big show of exaggeratedly looking behind every rock. "Very funny, guys!" I say, whilst they're still in earshot.

Lucas' POV

It didn't take long before Nick and I found Tori. It seemed she was intently following the butterfly in front of her because she didn't seem to have noticed us yet. Just then, she stops abruptly. "Whoa, cool! The Lava Nation. I wish I knew what was out there."

Why does she sound so impressed? All that's in the Lava Nation is lava and rock and a volcano with- guess what?- more lava and... more rocks. I glance slightly at Nick and we both begin to advance toward her as she was contemplating the view. It was all going brilliantly until Nick, being the clumsy oaf that he is, accidentally stepped on a twig.

It all happened rather fast. Tori spun around, and upon seeing us started to scream loudly. I suppose when your uncles appear out of nowhere, it is rather scary. Anyway, we all screamed for a good five minutes until Tori stepped backwards, lost her balance, and promptly fell into the pond below.

I was about to point out that the pond wasn't all that deep and Tori was part Water Gormiti to Nick but he was already jumping into the pond, yelling, "Don't worry, Tori, I'm on my way!" There was a gigantic splash.

"Oh geez! Oh, what if Toby saw that?" In my panic, I start acting as though Toby is there with us. "Oh, hey there, Toby. You know you asked us to keep an eye on your daughter? Well, the good news is: we found her. The bad news is: your brother decided it would be a good idea to jump on her. Do you have a problem with that?" I flinch in anticipation.

Nick looks around him "Tori? Tori? Where are you?"

I spy bubbles rising beneath him and realise that Tori is right underneath him. "Um, Nick," I say tentatively. "When Toby asked us to keep an eye on his daughter, I don't think babySITTING is what he meant!"

Upon hearing my words, Nick leaps out of the water, revealing Tori who emerges from the water. "Now, Tori, as future queen of the Air and Water Nations, you know better than to go off by yourself. You could have been hurt."

It wouldn't take a mind-link to know that this wasn't going to sit well with Tori. "But-But" she protests.

"Toby's gonna kill us!" I say, panicking. Then I turn to Nick and we both start frantically examining Tori for any injuries. "Let's see, did you slip a disc? Catch a fever? Get an ingrown toenail?"

"I had one of those once." Nick says reminiscently.

"They're very painful." I say to Tori, but Nick shakes his head.

"Practically excruciating!" He says, wincing at the memory.

Tori agitatedly pushes us away. "Uncle Lucas!" She says, sounding more than a little annoyed.

"Is something wrong, Princess?" Nick asks concernedly.

Tori groans. " I'm not just a Princess, you know. That's only half of who I really am."

Nick looks curious. "Oh? And who's the other half?"

"Um, well I, er, um..." Tori stutters before shrugging to indicate that she didn't know.

Tori's POV

As Uncle Nick and Lucas start to argue about what they're going to tell my dad, I realise that now is my chance! I carefully sneak past them, making sure that I didn't make a sound. Once I was out of sight, I smirked triumphantly before skipping down the path that would take me directly to the Lava Nation.

I giggle as I leap across a rock bridge. Dad was dead wrong. There's nothing at all dangerous about this nation.

"Who are you?" A voice asks rudely.

I spin round and see that the owner of the voice is a boy the same age as me, with black spiky hair, grey eyes and wearing a black tee-shirt, grey jeans and a rather menacing scowl.

I take my dad's advice to heart and start leaping around, keeping him in sight at all times, making it impossible for him to sneak up on me from behind.

He looks at me,confused, "What are you doing?" He asks in a tone that says "I'm asking a question but I don't really care about your answer."

"My father says you should never turn your back on a Lava Gormiti!" I say angrily, glaring at him.

"Oh, following orders like a good little Daddy's girl, are we?" He says smugly, leaping onto some rocks in the river, which I recognise because it leads right to the Water Nation.

"Out here, you don't take orders from anybody. I take care of myself." He says, still in a smug tone.

Despite myself, I am impressed. "Really?" I ask. "Cool!" I follow him onto the rocks.

Just then, his mouth drops open, and he points at something behind me. I turn and in a fluid movement, we leap off the rock as a Gorm crocodile rises up out of the water, jaws determinedly crunching at the place I was stood a mere few seconds ago.

"Come on. This way!" I yell as more crocs start surfacing, intent on eating us for dinner. We race across the rocks before pausing for breath. "Hey, I think they might be gone!" He pants, looking left and right.

I nod before I feel the ground beneath my feet begin to shake. In unison, we look down and promptly scream as "the ground" suddenly rises into the air; two more crocs have joined the frenzy, it seems.

We leap into action, I leap up onto a tree branch but the boy jumps from crocodile to crocodile. What is he doing? He can't just leave me here! Doesn't he know who I am? "Hey, what about me?" I yell frantically, feeling the branch lurch violently.

"I'm distracting them. Just run!" The boy yells, before the crocodile he is stood on suddenly rolls over, causing him to fall into the water. (AN: They're human so Ryan won't melt. Even if he did, he wouldn't die! :-)) I swat at a few crocodiles before looking at him and seeing a crocodile swimming directly towards him, jaws wide open.

"Watch out!" I yell, as he clings to the side of an actual rock, whimpering like a baby. Not so smug now, are we? I brace myself before leaping onto the crocodile, giving him time to escape. "Move it!" I yell, as I race along a tree branch. Once again, I feel the branch shudder; several crocs are pulling at the branch with their mighty jaws. "Whoa!" I yell, leaping onto the rock just as the branch snaps and falls into the water.

I exhale. That had been too close. But... "Woo, I did it! Alright, yeah!" I cheer, before blowing a raspberry at the crocodiles. Yes, pretty childish, but I think I deserved that. Then the boy and I disappear through the branches.

"Wow, you were really brave." I say admiringly to the boy.

"Yeah? Well, you were pretty brave too, for a girl. My name's Ryan." He says, smirking.

I blush at the compliment before giggling and saying, "I'm Victoria."

Just then, our orbs float out of nowhere toward us. I could recognise my distinctive blue, pink and golden orb with the symbols of Air, Water and Light on it anywhere, and judging by Ryan's expression, the purple orb with the symbol of Darkness on it is his. We look at each other, then at the orbs as they begin to glow...

AN: So that's a wrap on this chapter but the scene will continue in Chapter 10. Please review. I would love to know what you guys think. Should I do a series focusing on Anna or Louise? Perhaps this series from Ryan's POV? Just let me know.
