ohhny and Isabella never forgot the legend of Eagle Peak. Their parents had told them, before they died,
about the amazing site that was Eagle Peak.
One night Johnny woke Isabella, “I have a plan.” he whispered. “We escape tonight and if she
hears us, I've set up booby traps. Let's find the Blue Fairy to help us get to Eagle Peak.” “I think we may be
headed into trouble.” said Isabella. “Hey, I never said it was going to be easy.” Johnny said. They tiptoed
through the deserted hallway. Just as Johnny was about to turn the doorknob they heard the unpleasant voice
of their foster mom, Ms. Growling, “You've been naughty kids.” she said in an unpleasant voice. Ms. Growling
fell to the ground as the net that Johnny set up came crashing down on her. Johnny and Isabella took their
chance and ran for it. Ms. Growling screamed, “I will get revenge, I will!”
“Bring out the magic flute !” Said Isabella. He pulled out a shiny, silver flute and played a tune.
Isabella began to sing.
“Don't be shy little fairy.
Come down and help us.
Nothing's going to hurt you.
Please come down and help us.”
When the song ended a blue light came down from the tallest tree, glitter trailing behind it. Slowly
the light grew until it was as big as Johnny and Isabella. The light took shape and became the Blue Fairy.
“Don't fret darlings, you'll get to Eagle Peak.”
“Ow!, my wing aches. We've been flying for hours. ” Isabella complained. “Are we almost there?”
said Johnny. “Relax, we're here.” said the Blue Fairy.
An Eagle Guard appeared. “To pass you need to fight your greatest fear.” Johnny had butterflies in
his stomach like never before. “To be honest, our greatest fear is Ms. Growling,” said the twins. Suddenly Ms.
Growling appeared. “I'm going to get you this time, little rats!” She chased them until Isabella noticed that
Ms. Growling was holding the net they used to trap her. Isabella snatched the net from Ms. Growling and
threw it on her. “Noooooo!” wailed Ms. Growling.
The Blue Fairy pointed towards Eagle Peak. “I'm very happy for you,” she said. When the bronze
gates opened, Johnny and Isabella's eyes opened wide with amazement. Eagle Peak had mountains, water falls
and most of all, Eagles. There were two eagles that stared back at them with equal amazement. Isabella
whispered to Johnny, “This is kind of awkward.” Once the four eagles locked eyes they knew instantly they
had found each other. “Johnny, Isabella!” cried their Mom. “Mom, Dad? I thought you were dead?” Said
Isabella. “We were all separated when you both turned three and we couldn't leave Eagle Peak to find you.”
Said their Dad. We could only be reunited if you came to Eagle Peak. The four of them flew together and
hugged. It was a moment none of them would ever forget.
