Time for Adventure! (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 6

"...and that's why I'm here."

Eska told Spiro everything after the were captured. Serenity Meadows, finding out he was captured, distrusting Papa Smurf. To be honest, she felt guilty that she even left in the first place. Spiro looked at her with sympathy.

"Look, Eska," Spiro put his hand on her shoulder, "I've known Papa Smurf for a while now. We would never put any of his Smurfs in danger. I know he says that places outside of the Smurf forest are dangerous, but he would come to our rescue if he knew we were in danger."

"How would you know?"

"Oh, just rabbit senses." Spiro smirked, then pointed behind Eska. She turned around and reacted in awe. There was Papa Smurf, with Bash, Britze, Benny, Felipe, and Smurfette. They were stealthily sneaking past Gargamel, Azrael, and Monty, climbing up until reaching eye level of the cage.

"Papa!" Eska whisper-cried.

"Don't worry, my little Smurfs." Papa told us, "We'll get you out. Felipe, the key."

What Eska didn't notice was that Felipe brought up the key to the cage. He unlocked them, allowing them to escape.

"Thank goodness you guys are ok!" Smurfette hugged Eska, then kissed Spiro on the cheek.

"Aww, shucks!" Spiro blushed. Eska just rolled her eyes. All of them then made their escape.

"We're gonna make it y'all!" Bash excitedly exclaimed.

Suddenly, Azrael blocked their way and chased them across Gargamel's lair. The smurfs dodged every attack Azrael or Monty had on them. Finally, Gargamel grabbed them, except Eska, who escaped and hid.

"Ha! I have all of you!" Gargamel rejoiced, but noticed Eska was missing "Eh, one Smurf missing is not a big dealio. I can get enough power form these guys combined.

Eska looked in fear as her friends were about to be put in Gargamel's power-sucking machine. Just then, she remembered that she had the jewel of Serenity. She also knew that the jewel could only grant one wish. Eska had to make a choice to either bring her parents back or save her friends. The decision caused Eska to stress out. Finally, she realized what she had to do.

Coming out of her hiding place, she held the jewel up high so that the sun glistened from it.

"How'd you get here?!" Gargamel started reaching for her.

"Jewel of Serenity," Eska started to say "With this one wish you grant me, I wish..."
