Heroism 101 (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 4

With the day being a total success, Jackie thought this was the greatest day he'd ever had, and that the night would finish it off. But, he was wrong.

He heard a sound coming from outside the hovel and hopped out of bed to see what it was. Julia was missing from her bed, so he had to go and see if she and the others were alright. Once out, he spotted someone he never expected to be here.

"Hello, Trollstroyer!" Gargamel stood in front of the Forest Scouts he had gagged and tied at the throat, "It's been a long time!"

"The name's Jackie to you!" He told him, "How'd you find me?!"

Oh, it was all into plan," Gargamel explained, "I found the trail of utter betrayal and followed that! Now, your friends..." He got out his wand, "Obliterous Foreverous!" And poof, they were gone.

"Noo!" Jackie cried, "You can't do this! They're my friends!"

"Were your friends!" Gargamel pointed his wand at him, "and now it's time to turn back to your original self!" However before he could get him, Jackie woke up in cold sweat.

It was just a nightmare. He rubbed the beads of sweat off his forehead and got up to get a drink. He wiped his mouth after he drank and took a look outside with a determined face. He opened the door quietly and headed out the door.

This part is not done yet.
