Chapter 8-The Enchanted Oasis....
"Its right around the corner" Marko called.
his friends were starting to get annoyed. So far all Marko had shown them was forest. Sasha was still unconscious and literally flying behind them. Everyone waited with anticipation to hear what Marko had to say about him and Ivy being friends previous years before. They also couldn't wait to see what this Enchanted Oasis was.
"this is gonna sound cliché but we just have to cross the bridge and we're there." Marko informed, He had stopped and was struck with fear as his past memories in this place began flooding in.
"Whats wrong?" Dani asked. They were at the foot of the bridge but it lead into a cave and had a moss curtain hanging from the rocks.
"Nothing" He snapped back into reality"It's just been so long..."
"Well let's go, Sasha isn't doing any better" Oliver said. He pushed himself through with Sasha close behind. He reached for the curtain when he was stopped
"Wait!" Marko yelled "I have to tell you guys something." Should he tell them? He didn't know. This was something him and Sasha had vowed never to tell anyone.... not even there families.
"Sasha and I made a promise" He started "We vowed, never to come back here again. When she wakes up she's not going to be happy that we brought her back"
"Marko" Ivy started "we have no choice! She's slipping away by the second."
"I know, all I'm asking is when she wakes up let me explain things to her." The four nodded.
"Okay. Ladies, Gentlemen and mutants, I present. The Forbidden Enchanted Oasis" He pushed the moss out of the way revealing an open field with a giant tree in the centre. There was a huge rock wall surrounding the area, which was about the size of five classrooms and the wall itself was 35ft tall. The wall was covered by moss and mushrooms and some object that lit up the area more. In the corner of the field was a rock that was at least 7ft tall and 10ft wide. On top of the rock was little house with fairy lights lining the roof, the side of the house was made logs as was the roof. On the opposite corner of the area was a waterfall coming from the middle of the wall that connected to a small pond thing with fish swimming around and lily pads with water lilies on the surface. No one said anything. They were all speechless. Each person were so overwhelmed they had to pick one thing to study rather then to take it all in at once. Even Marko was stunned. The place had stayed in perfect condition since the last time he was there. Acually he couldn't remember the last time he was there... maybe when he was six? seven?
Suddenly Sasha groaned
"you guys get her to the house." Marko started "There's a first aid kit by the tree, I'll go get it. Just keep her safe."
The four nodded and walked to the little house and Marko walked over to the tree he so badly wanted run away from.

"This place is..." Oliver started as they walked into the house
"A five year olds doll house?" Dani finished
"yah..... pretty much"
The inside of the house was small with a bunk-bed against farthest corner and a miniature kitchen at the entrance. There was a fridge and an oven with your typical brown cupboards around them and small dinning table in the centre with three chairs. Across from the kitchen was a couch with a coffee table and a board game that looked like monopoly but was so faded and old you couldn't tell. An old radio sat on the floor against the wall beside the couch facing the window which was the only source of light in the room. There was an old school DSIXL on the table beside the board game and a lamp on the opposite side of the couch from the radio. The bed room had the bunkbed with pink Dora the explorer sheets and Barney the friendly dinosaur sheets on top. The bedside table had a simple lamp on it and there were posters of different children TV shows all over the walls. There was everything from ICarly to tella-tubbies. There was a little stuffed doll on the bottom bunk with pale skin a little blue dress and bright blond curls in pigtails. The air in the room felt muggy like someone had filled the room with water and left it to dry for two hours. It smelled like a mix of old books, dust, moss and wildflowers. There was only one more door that lead to the bathroom which only had a toilet and a sink with a mirror above it.
"Put Sasha on the bottom bunk." Ivy instructed. Oliver did as he was asked and opened the door gently putting Sasha down on the bed. She winced but went back to silence after her entire body was on the bed.
"Where's Marko?" Jake asked "She needs help, now." The four started a conversation while they waited for Marko but Dani soon grew bored and walked into the bedroom to check on Sasha. Dani quickly discovered that the top drawer of the bedside table was open slightly. So she opened it and found a little book that looked a lot like a journal. She opened it and began reading the pages.
Dear Journal,
I don't have much time to write this because Marko and Sasha are in the garden. I've recently discovered that this world has so much more to offer then what these pathetic people think. Minus Marko and Sash.... Apparently there is a magical flower with abilities beyond belief. It has the power to give magic! Its colour coordinated. I don't know what each colour to power is but its incredible! all I know about it is that every ability, comes with the gift of flight except for one. The gift of brains but it has something else with it. I'm not sure what. I hear Marko and Sasha coming back I have to hide the journal.
Anthony.
Dani sat in shock. She couldn't believe what she just read. She also didn't know if she should tell her friends or not. This person, this Anthony cared about Sasha and Marko but he clearly also cared about the magic flower. What isn't Marko telling us? She thought to herself. The bigger question was what to tell everyone else about this book. Should she tell them, it may only confuse them more. And what if she tells them and then Marko and Sasha get mad because she read through this Anthony guys stuff. She sat there confused looking at the book. She quickly glanced over at the table to see if there was anything else there. Inside the drawer were pictures of Marko, Sasha and another kid playing around in the grading and outside of someones house. Each picture showed something. Who ever the kid in the picture was definitely cared for Sasha and Marko and apparently the feeling was mutual. In some pictures they looked like they were two three maybe four and in other they were older maybe ten to thirteen. Whatever the age they all seemed to really care and love each other. At the last of 23 pictures was one that puzzled Dani more then ever.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marko hated having to bring Sasha back here, he hated coming back as it was.
He walked over to the tree and looked around it for the opening. At the base of the tree was a hole created by the roots that had a white disgusting looking barely clear sap that did more then you would think. He pulled the bottle he had taken from the water (don't ask there was a lot of different things hidden around this place) and filled it with that nasty sap. He began running back towards the house and when he opened the door he was greeted by three of the five people he had told to go to the house.
"Where's Sash and Dani?" he asked
"Dani Went in there to check on Sasha a few minuets ago." Ivy responded
"Can I go see them?" Marko asked
"Go ahead" Jake shrugged
He walked in to see Dani sitting on the floor looking at something.
"Hey" he said startling her. She turned around and began a light laugh realizing it was only Marko. She also put something in her coat pocket but Marko didn't comment thinking it was a phone.
"It's just you" She sighed
"Yah" He started "can I have a minuet, I've got the stuff for her" He raised his hand with the bottle in it and Dani nodded.
"Whats in there?" She asked
"It's sap from the tree in the garden.Let's just say this place isn't called the 'Enchanted Oasis' for nothing." He kneeled next to Sasha and oped the bottle pouring a few drops in her mouth. Almost instantly her arm changed from its strange form to a normal one. But you could tell it still wasn't completely healed.
"Marko?" She asked sitting up. you could tel she regretted that choice when she quickly grabbed her arm and lye back down again.
"Yah, I'm right here" He grabbed her still good hand as tears began to form in his eyes.
Dani's suspicions were confirmed right there and then.
"Marko why are we in the cottage? And why is Dani here?" She asked
"It was the only place we could bring you in your state, Jake grabbed your arm and added a little super strength into his grip" Marko explained
"But Marko- we promised! Anthony-" She started only for Marko to shush her gently as if telling a baby to go back to sleep.
"I know what he did, but it was the only thing we could do. You needed help and now we can actually bring you to the hospital to get that arm checked." Marko had a way with words especially when he was calm.
Dani began to slowly walk backwards aiming for the door but when she turned around to exit she slammed herself into the door post.
"Ow" she grumbled
"Dani, are you okay?" Sasha asked from her broken state.
"Yah I'm good" She said rubbing her nose. When she pulled her hand away her nose was completely deformed as if she was made of clay.
Sasha started laughing like a mad-woman and Marko tried to keep a straight face but failed and started laughing as well.
"Good" Dani said mentally shifting her nose back into place "You know what they say; laughter is the worlds best medicine, but when your laughing for no reason you need medicine"
The two just started laughing harder as Jake called them from the other room.
"Marko, Dani come here." They hadn't realized that Sasha was now awake.
"You think you can walk?" Marko asked her
"Yah" She nodded. Sasha slowly sat up and when she tried to stand herself up she had to grab Marko who had been following her every move.
"Sorry" She blushed
"No problem" He responded blushing a little as well. Sasha managed to walk but Marko stayed close behind just in case.
"What's wrong?" Dani asked walking behind both Sasha and Marko
"You know that lady you asked to call the cops and tell them what happened?" Oliver asked
"Yah?" She responded
"Well she told them the story. All of it"Oliver stated
"What do you mean?" Marko asked. This was the first time he or Dani noticed the phone in Jakes hand
"She told the cops about us."Jake started "Everything about us...."
Dani, Marko and Sasha felt there hearts sink to the floor. They had only been given these powers today and they had already exposed them to the world.....
