The Last Chapter of the Dooms of the Dunes

Aunt Anastasia opened the door. "Mozar is not going to die! The doctor says!" said Aunt Anastasia.  
Jierra, Dave, and Edlia grinned, tears of happiness streaming down their faces.  "Oh, darling,  you had your baby!" Aunt Anastasia screamed with joy.  Mozar ran to the door and hugged everyone.  Jierra never knew if the Dirtiers had been a dream. I know, though. They were not a dream. Jierra, nor Dave, nor Edlia ever told anyone about their adventure. Except maybe their kids...  but that comes later on in my blog.


 


                                             



                      THE END

The Dooms of the Dunes Chapter 16

"Patuey!" said Dave. "You are a total liar!"  "How do you know? Do you wanna save little Mozie or not? It's worth a try!" said Jierra. Then Jierra said, "I wish Horace was rich."  


  Immediately, thousand dollar bills piled up around Horace. He took a windshield snow scraper from behind       his back and ran down the hallway. There, at the end of the hallway, was the lady Dirtier with the mole, the two giants, and a muscular man with red eyes and a gold turban with a ruby in the middle. Jierra guessed that he was king. Horace started scraping goo from the king, the lady, and the two giants. When Horace was finished, the creatures vanished in mid air. "Go, now," said Horace. "Close your eyes. This did all really happen to you, but time does not really exist here." Edlia ran down the hall to the bedroom, scooped up her baby, who was asleep, and closed her eyes. Jierra and Dave closed their eyes, too.  Next thing they knew, they were on the beach at nighttime and they were standing next to the jail Horace had put Jierra in in the beginning of my story. They raced home and Jierra realized that her basket, phone, and star chart were in her     hands.

Minutes later,    Jierra, Edlia, and Dave were seated by Horace in the Dining Hall to eat.  Horace sat at one end of the table and Edlia sat at the other end. Jierra sat next to Edlia and Dave sat on the other side of Edlia.   They had cold Cheerios with milk. They each got a glass of wine for their drink. Edlia was twenty-three, and who knows how old Horace was? At least he was a grownup. But Dave and Jierra were still kids.  Dave was sixteen and Jierra was thirteen. "I'm not allowed to drink wine," they said in unison.  Edlia immediately said, "I'll drink it!" So they handed their gold goblets to her and Horace got them some orange juice. Then Horace said,"You can tell who is a Dirtier by searching for gold goo on their faces."  
 Jierra examined his face. No gold goo. Just scaly green skin. "I admit that I am not a dirtier," said Horace. "I work for them because I am poor. I am a genie. Only I cannot grant wishes for myself. So I want you to wish that I am rich for me. In return, I will scrape the gold goo off the Dirtiers' faces. They will have no power left and Mozar and the other little children will be okay. I will stop working for the Dirtiers if only you will wish that I am rich."

"Now it's nighttime, I'll lead you to your rooms," said the first Dirtier. " By the way, my name is Horace." Jierra had not noticed how much time had passed. Horace led her to her room.                                                                               It had pink walls and one white king-sized bed and one white bunk-bed. On a bedside table made with a few strong pieces of maple, there were some violet lupines. The bedside table was beside the king-sized bed. On the bed, two pillows rested. One was white with a picture of two little bluebirds kissing, and one was lavender and had hot pink words that said '~My Lady~'. "This is Lady Edlia's bed," said Horace, lifting Edlia up into his huge, muscular arms and gently laying her down onto the bed. He pulled the covers up to her chest. She was already asleep. She did not snore, but they could hear soft breathing sounds coming from her. 

Later that night, Jierra was awakened by crying sounds in the night. She peeked over the top edge of the bunk bed and there was Edlia, wide awake, her gray-blue eyes gazing up at Jierra, her new baby in her arms. The baby had a tuft of fuzzy blond  hair and beady, blue eyes.  It started hitting Edlia. Jierra jumped to the floor, grabbed that fussy baby, and set it on the carpet. It started hitting Jierra. Jierra grabbed Edlia. Edlia began to weep. "That's the worst baby in the universe!" she bawled. The baby screamed and then kept quiet. It wasn't hurt. Just angry. Jierra was madder than a wasp who just lost all it's honey. Next thing Jierra knew, it was morning and she was lying on the carpet next to the baby. She quickly scooched away.
