Jules pulled the car over to the side of the road. He flipped on the radio. The newscaster said there had been a wave large enough to blot out the sun. Others said that rocks had crashed down from nowhere.

“Ibi is hurt,” Taloa sang.

Nick looked back. The nixie’s skin looked puffy and raw. She moaned.

“The salt,” Nick said.

“Get her into the rain,” said Laurie.

The kids scrambled out and helped Ibi to stand. She sighed as rain touched her skin.

Sirens wailed in the distance.

Ooki began to sing softly as Taloa glowered.

“What’s that?” Mallory asked. She was pointing out to the water, where four more giants were heading for land. “Give me the keys!”

Jules hesitated a moment and then threw them to her as they all scrambled into the car.

It took longer for the giants to make their way out of the deep this time. When they came from the ocean, they were dripping with strands of sea grass, and when they shook their great bodies, bits of coral flew off them.

Mallory turned the wheel hard and pulled onto the road, driving like a lunatic. In this particular instance, Nick could only be glad.

Simon closed his eyes. “I can’t look,” he said.

“Sing,” Nick called to Taloa.

“No la-lo,” she sang softly.

“Why should we not la-lo-la be la safe?

We do la not want them to fa-la-lo follow.”
