12 Ch12-Upside Down

CHAPTER 12 UPSIDE DOWN Get off of me!" Drake cried when they appeared in Casgore. They were in front of the white house and the stone tower.

Beezel jumped off his back. "Thanks for the ride!" "What did you do to Griffith before we left?" Drake asked. "Is he okay?" "I just wiped his memory of the last five minutes," she said. "I don't want him coming to help you again." Drake shook his head. "Why do you have to be so mean?" he asked. "You know why!" Beezel replied. "Anyway, you were pretty clever, sticking me under that bucket. But it didn't take long for my powers to come back so I could escape."

Beezel looked around. "Now I guess you came here so you could get back to your time. Not if I can help it!" she cried. She spun around. "Flip, flop, feet on top!" Drake's body lurched up into the air, then turned upside down! "Stop that!" Drake yelled. Beezel grinned. "No way! This is fun!" "Beezel, put me down!" Drake said. "Or I'll tell Worm to..." "To what? To blast me?" Beezel asked. "You'd still be stuck in this spell."

"Please, Beezel," Drake pleaded. "I just want to get home to my friends." Beezel crossed her arms. "Why should I help you do that when I have lost my only friend, thanks to you?" "You can live with me and my friends," Drake said. Beezel shook her head. "No way! Not after what you all did to Maldred." I can't imagine missing Maldred! Drake thought, but then he remembered that the workshop was the only home the imp had ever known. Except... Drake looked over at Worm. He had a thought.

"What if Worm transported you to the Isle of Imps?" Drake asked Beezel. "There would be other imps there. You could find your family." "Hmm," Beezel said. "That is not a bad idea." "So will you put me down?" Drake asked. She nodded. "It's a deal!" Drake grinned. Then Beezel chanted again. "Feet back down, on the ground!" Drake's body flipped in the air and he softly landed on the grass. "Now let's find Lukas and Maj and get me back to the future," said Drake. He rushed into the stone tower, followed by Worm and Beezel.
