Chapter 10

Chapter ten, Evie and Sunshine raced after their friends. "Are you OK?" Evie gasped to Sunshine. Magic was tiring for a unicorn when they first discovered their powers. "I'm fine," said Sunshine. "I've already had quite a bit of practice at blowing things up!" Evie hung on tightly to Sunshine's mane as they weaved through the trees. She could hear hooves pounding behind them. Glancing round, she saw Dr Briar coming up fast on Solomon with Sam and Flash a short way behind. "Hurry, Sunshine!" Evie yelled. Solomon reached Sunshine and pushed alongside her. Dr Briar leaned out to grab Evie's arm. "Give me the map!" she shrieked. There was a sudden flash and a flurry of blue sparkles. Dr Briar's hand froze a millimetre away from Evie, and Solomon stopped as if suspended in time. Evie's and Sam's eyes met for a fleeting second. He nodded, as if urging her on.

第十章，伊薇和阳光追赶他们的朋友。 “你还好吗？”伊薇喘着气对阳光说。 当独角兽第一次发现自己的力量时，魔法对它们来说是很累的。 “我很好，”阳光说。 “我在炸东西方面已经有不少经验了！”当他们穿过树林时，伊薇紧紧抓住阳光的鬃毛。 她能听到他们身后的马蹄声。 她环顾四周，看到布瑞尔医生迅速向所罗门走来，山姆和闪电紧随其后。 “快点,阳光!”艾维喊道。 所罗门走到阳光身边，挤到她身边。 布瑞尔医生探出身子去抓住伊薇的胳膊。 “把地图给我！”她尖叫道。 突然一道闪光和一阵蓝色的闪光。 布瑞尔博士的手在离艾薇一毫米的地方僵住了，所罗门停了下来，仿佛在时间中悬浮。 伊薇和山姆的目光相遇了一秒钟。 他点了点头，好像在催促她说下去。

"Go!" yelled Evie to Sunshine. Sunshine's hooves thundered loudly as she galloped out of the trees. At the edge of the woods Evie glanced back. There was no sign of Dr Briar or Sam but she'd caught up with Misty, Sparkle and Flame. By the time they arrived back at the stables, all four unicorns were dripping with sweat, their sides heaving. Evie's legs were like jelly as she slid from Sunshine and threw her arms round her neck. "I thought Dr Briar was going to grab me back in the woods." "I can't believe Sam!" Sienna's eyes blazed. "He must have been in league with his aunt all along. He's a total snake!" "No, he's not!" Evie protested. "He helped me escape just now." She told the others what had happened. "If Flash hadn't frozen time, Dr Briar

“快走！”伊薇对阳光喊道。 阳光从树林里疾驰而出，马蹄发出雷鸣般的声音。 在树林的边缘，伊维回头看了一眼。 布瑞尔医生和山姆都不见了，但她追上了米斯蒂、火花和火苗。 当他们回到马厩时，四只独角兽都汗流浃背，身体上下起伏。 伊维的腿像果冻一样，她从阳光下滑下来，双臂搂住了她的脖子。 “我以为布瑞尔医生会在树林里把我抓起来。” “我不敢相信山姆！”西耶娜的眼睛闪闪发光。 “他一定一直和他姨妈是一伙的。 他是个十足的蛇！”“不，他不是！”艾维抗议道。 “他刚才帮我逃走了。” 她把发生的事告诉了其他人。 如果闪电侠没有冻结时间，布瑞尔博士

would have pulled me off Sunshine." Lyra frowned. "When we escaped, it looked like Sam and Dr Briar were arguing. Maybe he was trying to stop her." "Hmm," Sienna said, not looking convinced. "I still think he's a snake." "Well, whoever's side he's on, the important thing is that we all got back safely," said Ivy. "Should we tell the teachers what happened?" Evie asked. "We'd get into really big trouble for sneaking out at night," said Sienna doubtfully. "And they'd make us hand over the map, and then we wouldn't be able to find the treasure," said Lyra. "Let's not tell!" they all said together. They grinned at each other. "So this stays as our secret," said Lyra. Evie nodded. "We'd better watch out for Dr Briar though. She's not going to give up that easily. Hopefully, she won't try anything here at school though, not with the teachers so close by." Lyra nodded. "We'll have to be extra careful. This next clue will lead us to the final piece of the map and then we can find the treasure!" She patted her pocket. "I'm not going to let any of the pieces out of my sight." The girls hurried into the stables and fetched their unicorns buckets of sky berries. Evie tipped the berries into Sunshine's manger then kissed her on the muzzle. "Goodnight, Sunshine. See you tomorrow." "Night, Evie." Sunshine blew her a kiss back, her dark eyes shining happily. Evie's heart filled with joy. She was so glad she and Sunshine had sorted everything out. Now she had found her magic and they had bonded, they would definitely be graduating at the end of the year and be together forever. "You know, I could always stay here in the stable with you tonight," said Evie, not wanting to leave. "You mean have a sleepover?" said Sunshine in delight. Lyra poked her head into Sunshine's stable. "A sleepover in the stables! That's a brilliant idea! We could all squeeze in here together." "But what about Dr Briar?" said Evie, frowning. "She might try and attack us." "Not with all the teachers' unicorns here," Lyra reassured her. "They'd

会把我从《阳光》里拉出来的。” 莱拉皱起了眉头。“我们逃走的时候，山姆和布瑞尔医生好像在争吵。 也许他是想阻止她。” “嗯，”西耶娜说，看起来不太相信。 “我仍然认为他是一条蛇。” “好吧，不管他站在哪一边，重要的是我们都安全回来了。”艾薇说。 “我们应该告诉老师发生了什么吗？”艾维问道。 “我们晚上溜出去会惹上大麻烦的。”西耶娜怀疑地说。 “他们会让我们交出地图，那样我们就找不到宝藏了。”莱拉说。 “我们不要说出去！”他们异口同声地说。 他们相视而笑。 “所以这是我们的秘密。”莱拉说。 艾维-点了点头。“不过我们最好小心布瑞尔博士。 她不会轻易放弃的。 不过，希望她不要在学校里做任何事情，因为老师们就在附近。” 莱拉点点头。“我们必须格外小心。 下一条线索会把我们带到地图的最后一块，然后我们就能找到宝藏了！”她拍了拍自己的口袋。 “我不会让任何碎片离开我的视线。” 姑娘们急忙跑进马厩，给独角兽取来一桶桶的浆果。 伊薇把浆果倒进阳光的马槽里，然后吻了吻她的嘴部。 “晚安,阳光。明天见。” “晚上,艾维。”阳光也给了她一个飞吻，她的黑眼睛闪烁着幸福的光芒。 伊薇的心里充满了喜悦。 她很高兴她和阳光把一切都解决了。 现在她发现了自己的魔力，他们已经亲密无间了，他们肯定会在年底毕业，永远在一起。 “你知道，今晚我可以一直和你呆在马厩里，”伊薇说，不想离开。 “你是说过夜？”阳光高兴地说。 莱拉把头伸进阳光的马厩。 “在马厩过夜！”这是个好主意！我们可以一起挤在这里。” “可是布瑞尔医生怎么办？”伊薇皱着眉头说。 “她可能会攻击我们。” “这里有那么多老师的独角兽。”莱拉安慰她说。 “他们已经

raise the alarm in no time. I bet she won't try anything now we're back at school." She called to Ivy and Sienna. "What do you think about having a sleepover here tonight?" The others agreed it was a great idea. While Ivy and Sienna fetched some warm rugs from the tack room, Lyra and Evie got some more straw and made Sunshine's bed super thick. Then they all squeezed inside. The unicorns lay down in the straw and the girls curled up next to them, covering themselves with the rugs and their unicorns' manes. "Night, everyone," said Sienna, yawning sleepily. One by one they fell asleep. Leaning her head against Sunshine's neck, and closing her eyes, Evie's heart swelled with happiness. She had the best friends in the world, a wonderful unicorn who loved her, and another adventure was waiting just round the corner. "I'm so glad you're my partner, Evie," Sunshine murmured. Evie smiled and snuggled closer. "And I'm so glad you're mine!"

马上拉响警报。 我敢打赌，既然我们都回学校了，她就不会耍花招了。” 她叫艾薇和西耶娜。 “今晚在这里过夜怎么样？”其他人都认为这是个好主意。 艾薇和西耶娜从钉钉室拿了一些暖和的地毯，莱拉和艾薇又拿了一些稻草，把阳光的床铺得特别厚。 然后他们都挤了进去。 独角兽躺在稻草里，姑娘们蜷缩在它们旁边，用地毯和独角兽的鬃毛盖住自己。 “晚安，各位。”西耶娜说，打着睡意朦胧的哈欠。 他们一个接一个地睡着了。 伊薇把头靠在阳光的脖子上，闭上眼睛，心里充满了幸福。 她有世界上最好的朋友，一只爱她的独角兽，另一次冒险就在拐角处等着她。 “我很高兴你是我的搭档，伊维，”阳光喃喃地说。 伊薇笑了笑，依偎得更近了。 “我真高兴你是我的！”
