She whistled into the wind, hoping she wasn't too distant. Obviously not, her hover board was already be her side and she leapt on in a flash. Soon they were off flying at full speed towards David . Tally crouched down, she had learned that crouching increased the speed and she had no time to waste. She had to talk to David.
Tally had expected to have to shake and pester David until he woke up. But Tally was surprised to see that he was just outside the gardens hovering just above ground. She straightened, crouching may speed up travel but it didn't really make you look. Pretty.
"Where have you been, i've been waiting ages," moaned David as they flew side by side, weaving around buildings. "Sshhh," Tally whispered, "Were trying not to wake anyone, at your rate you will wake the whole neighbourhood." Tally continued in an angry whisper. She knew she wasn't really angry, David couldn't help it. He just cant whisper. "Sorry miss," David said in a sarcastic whisper. Tally nudged him playfully, "Right we need to get to sea for our mission to work."
"Mission?" David asked, "were not some secret agents about to take over the world."
"Sorry." Tally said instantly. They flew the rest of the way in silence, was this good or bad. Thoughts rushed through Tally's mind, she swiped a look at David, who was looking into the distance. Her eyes hovered a title to long and she nearly fell of her board when he yelled "DUCK!"
Tally dropped onto her belly, her board wobbling under the sudden change of balance, she gripped tight begging herself not fall off. Something gripped her hand, prising it away from the board, she nearly screamed but the warmth filled her veins. It was David's hand. A bright smile filled her body, but she hid it from him. Her board steadied and she breathed a smile of relief.
"What was that?" She asked.
"I don"t know, something large and oval shaped," David whispered, "But it definitely could have done some damage."
"Its probably just uglies, nothing to worry about, though was it made from?"
"Looked like metal, but i couldn't be sure."
"Hmmmm?"
They didn't talk about the metal ovals again, their minds were fully concentrated on the mechanism by the sea. It was square with enough seating to accommodate around six people. David and Tally had discovered it when they came here a few days back, they couldn't fully investigate then as there were Uglies on the beach, so they had wrapped it in a towel and hidden it in a small cove, behind the rocks and sand. It wasn't very easy getting it from the beach, in fact they nearly broke one of their hover boards it was so heavy. They flew to the cove now doggedly ploughing in and out of the large boulders.
The machine was exactly where they had left it. But it looked different now, it had small silver spikes sticking out of the edges at 15cm intervals. Tally wondered why the mechanism had changed, was it evolving was it set to change? Or had she and David pressed or set something off in their attempt to move the object. David touched the iron casing, running hid rough fingers smoothly against the shell. "Feel it" he asked Tally. She slowly detached her fingers from Davids and laid her hands upon it, David copied and both their hands were soon laid gently on the metal looking shuttle. Tally and Davids eyes met, but were soon snatched away by the mechanism. A slither of metal had formed around Tally and David's wrists, locking them to its sides. Tally whistled, determined to stay with her overboard in case of any attempt of escape. David stared at Tally, eyes wide with horror and fear. He didn't need to say anything, Tally understood. She studied the metal, after all she was a special, she still had strength and a temper. Maybe if she built up enough anger she could break through the bands. After all, unless they were designed to capture specials particularly they wouldn't have enough power and structure to hold one. Especially not Tally Youngblood. She had a plan and now she was too use it. "David ," she whispered, "Talk about Zane, talk about Shay, Talk about Maddy and the about anything which you think will make me angry."
"Tally i don't think thats a good idea," he breathed, "Your less than 2 inches away from me and you've still got your specials temper and…"
"Just do it" Tally said her anger rising. David just smiled.
"All right, all right if you're sure."
"Yes i'm bloody sure, just do it" Tally growled
"Well, you know Tally Shay really hates you right now, she hates you for running away with me and leaving her behind. She hates you for choosing Zane over her, she did it she told everyone that Zane didn't need the operation that he needed to die, she said it was for your own good."
"Oh My God, how could she do that she knew i loved Zane and i loved her too, i cant believe she would…" Tally was growling fiercely now her eyes wide with anger. Her pulse tattoo was moving effortless less to and fro her face making her icy features even more intense. David just smiled.
"She is going to be extra mad now, now she knows you have got me locked up to this pre-rust looking object"
"Thats it she's dead" And with that `Tally wrenched her hands up in anger, legs ready to fly. She was almost out of the cave when she realised she had done it, that the first part of her plan had worked. "Yes, yes yes yes yes yes yes!" Screamed Tally her voice echoing.
"Urrr a little help please?" asked David.
"Oh right yea" Tally frantically thought about how to release David. She certainly couldn't just fly away, then Maddy would probably kill her, she already blamed Tally for her husbands death, so why stop there. Tally ran towards David and pulled his arms with all her strength. No luck. She'd just have to keep trying…
