Sealing Death by Basil E. Bacorn Read Free Book Online

ship and the swordfish morphed into a hi-def pirate captain.
          The captain withdrew his weapon and rum leaked out. "Any bilge rat who messes with me grog must walk the plank!" he warned. Betty squinted her eyes and shot back, "Do ye scallywag of a pirate thinks ye can beat me!"
     
          James couldn't believe it. Betty was smack talking a pirate!
     
          The pirate jumped up and slashed the sword down on Betty, who once again blocked with her trusty knitting needle. "Oy!" she barked, slapping him across the face with her weapon. The pirate growled and swung the sword and it banged against the pointy metal stick with a clang. Betty grabbed the other one from her fanny pack and pinched his sword between them. She yanked and twisted the weapon and the captain was thrown over the side of the ship. The other pirates ran up to Betty and hoisted her on their shoulders. "Our new captain!" they yelled.
     
          "Ahem!" Vanessa coughed, "Aren't we supposed to be leaving! The portal reopened!"
     
          As Betty got back in, a loud roar thundered throughout reality. Susan looked at James and said, "We need to hurry!"
     
     
          Charlie stepped towards Will angrily, who was backing up. Will couldn't afford to get damaged, so he turned around and ran up the conveyor. "Help!" Will screeched, "I'm sorry Charlie, but you'd understand if you kissed her more!" Oops.
     
          Charlie plowed forward. Will was going to regret he ever laid a finger on her! He was going to regret the day he was born! Charlie roared, and a roar that wasn't his followed. "The Scarrcedenhogg!" he shouted.
     
     
          Cassie flew through the sugary air and searched for Charlie and Will. "There they are!" Stella announced, hanging on to Cassie for dear life. Cassie swooped down and landed between the two. "Before you say anything, Cassie," Charlie stuttered, "Did you kiss Will, or did he kiss you? The second time."
     
          Charlie was amazed he just said that. He never thought that he'd have to confront her about something like this.
     
          Cassie was speechless. Charlie was being so bold and confident. Sure it wasn't in her favor, but she still thought it was attractive. "Um," she murmured, "both. But it didn't mean anything." Will gaped.
     
          Charlie was furious. Cassie kissed Will? She'll have cheated on him with her ex! Sure he was a prince, but still! "Cassandra Smith, " Charlie said, "I think we should take a break for a while."
     
          "What!" Cassie yelped, "Are you breaking up with me? I only kissed him twice!" Cassie knew she wasn't helping her case, but she had to try. She couldn't lose Charlie! She loves him! "I don't think I can continue to call you my girlfriend when the person who you are kissing isn't me." Charlie explained, "So yes, I am breaking up with you."
     
          Charlie was shocked he actually did it. Why did he? He loves Cassie so much, but she kissed someone else. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
          Who is he kidding? Of course it's meant to be! Charlie started to say something and apologize when Cassie started talking again. "You're right Charles. You are absolutely right." she confessed, "We do need to break up. If you can't understand a little misunderstanding and trust me for real, you shouldn't date me."
     
          Cassie was depressed. She never thought this would happen.
     
          "One thing Cassandra," Charlie added, "were you planning on telling me at all?" Stella frowned and started twiddling her thumbs. "You knew!" Charlie yelled, "That's it! Clearly none of you are my true friends, keeping secrets and cheating on me! With that said, I'm done with all of you!" Charlie turned and stormed away. He hopped on a passing conveyor and marched away.
     
        "Char-Char!" Stella called. The conveyors jolted and then sped up. A voice thundered, "Dreams are made to make you happy! Unhappiness has been detected, and all
