    Walking into school on Tuesday everything felt wrong. No it was wrong. I started to pick up speed rounding the corner I saw why. The large creature lunged forward towards Tammy and Melody unconscious humans lay on the hallway floor. “What the hell is that?” I called to Tammy and Melody.

    “A sod,” Tammy said bitterly her eyes locking with the large snake like creature. Sod’s were very territorial I remembered reading that about them in the only book in the world that actually talked about these creatures along with many others that to humans weren’t in fiction books as legends. These creatures were virtually unknown to humankind. “Don’t just stand there! Help,” Tammy said as her aura flared.

    “I’m coming,” I said running over. I moved my hands in circular motions the tiny ball of light no bigger than a pea but growing in size with every second. When it was as big as my head I stopped making it grow. “Distract it,” I whispered and Tammy and Melody nodded. Sparks danced from their fingers and the sod’s mouth opened wide screaming making Tammy and Melody fall. I threw the ball of colored light directly at its open mouth. The ball of light disappeared inside its mouth. The sod’s eyes opened wide and the inside started to glow. Then with a flick of my hand the ball of light exploded inside the sod and it exploded with it. Green goo flew around me coating me in a layer of it. “Is everyone ok?” I called attempting to wipe green goo from my clothes.

    “I’m ok!” Melody called somewhere to my left.

    “I’m good!” Tammy called from my right “EWWWW!” I had to laugh when I saw her picking green goo from her clothes and hair. “EWWWWW!”

    “Looks like we got some clean up to do,” I said gesturing to the now green coated hallway.
    “Couldn’t you have done something less messy?” Tammy asked innocently her blue eyes wide.

    “Not if you didn’t want to get eaten” I said opening the janitors closet and taking out mops, brooms, Windex, other cleaning spays, and cloths. I tossed her a mop. “Get cleaning.”
