Chapter 4
Arthur was dreaming. A soothing voice calling his name he was running , running down a long vast hallway towards the voice. But as soon as his hand stretched out to hug her she shifted away as if she was a ghost .It was his mothers voice, he recognized it . It had been five years since she had passed but all he could remember a fuzzy outline like it was a lost memory.
Arthur woke in a cold sweat the morning rays shone from the barn window. Justice was licking himself clean then he paused mid lick with his emerald green eyes. Arthur grasped the gold key and wound up Justice. He said ” all that ticks and tocks we have to get back what rightfully yours ” Lily was still sleeping I was actually surprised then Justice said” I saw the Professor only ten minutes ago that man had the locket he was getting on his airship ” Wake up lazybones”.
“Oi I was having a good dream” protested Lily yawing and trying to groan she stretched and rubbed her eyes a moment later a gang of three unlikely musketeers scrambled over the wall .Towards the silver air ship not only the airship but the Professor he was cradling a small box in his arms he gingerly placed it in a tree and checked the surroundings.
In a flash, they all ran over and tried to grab the box but they were to short It was Just out of there clutches .Justice said” let me climb on top of you” so Justice scrambled up to the top of the tree and pushed the box down .It Arthur who opened it and there they were, the blueprints and the Locket.
Thieves, airship looters, pocket pincher, cut throat’s the Professor roared, rushing towards the airship at speed that was surprising for a man that big. With out a thought Arthur grabbed the weight and raped it around. Immanently the airship rose of the ground into the crisp winters air. The three horsemen rode again. Professor Pufferfish was stomping his foot and waving his fist in the air we were so far up that we could not here what he is saying.
There was a muffled scream from below deck had them all worried we all went down and they did not believe there eyes there was Winnie Hemsworth Arthurs mother tied up like a turkey at Christmas. Arthur cut the rope and freed his mum they hugged for a long time then the air ship shook so Arthur ran and made it stable.
Arthur and Lily stood on the deck as they rose into the crisp winters air they watch the world walk by. All the fields linked and it looked like a emerald rose then snow drifted down we saw ornate snowflakes that carped life below.
