Chapter 3: Prisoner to… something else?
A/N: Sorry for not updating in so long I've just been very busy. Since this is the month of giving I will give you a bunch of new chapters! Anyway, this is going to be a 3 part story, and Kai and Miranda start to discover feelings for each other…plus Miranda graduates! IDK how college exactly is but my Algebra class talks a lot about it and people from my church started going to college so I have a hypothesis on how college goes.
To: iluvninjagothenextstepgirl: No it's not a dream just very late at night.
Now on to the story!
Miranda's POV
I wake up in the pedestrian prison and try to find something to out of boredom. I realize that I have graduation today and I have to give a speech; I tap Vanessa-Evangeline's shoulder and ask her to wake up everyone. She let out and ear-damaging roar, causing everyone upstairs to moan and groan with tiredness. Soon someone starts to walk down here and I gulp, I know those anger foot stomps from anywhere. I do them too.
The red one stomps to us, hair without spikes and all down. I blush and look away; I have a thing with guys and long hair. Brushing my hair in front of my face, I turn to see him with a katana in one hand and a murder look in his eyes.
"Put down the weapon." I speak in a bare whisper. He pretends to ignore me and starts back at my sister.
"I said...PUT DOWN THE WEAPON!" I screech, feeling my eyes turn into a dangerous red. He turns around to see me and he drops the katana; I know at that moment he is scared.
Kai's POV
Yesterday Sensei made us go to an evil academy for young prodigies to go get the Dragon-Savoir; instead we got two girls, one who is way too sarcastic and one that's a little too…crazy. We were supposed to follow Claire's lead (Lloyd's girlfriend) and we come back with a failed mission. I guess it was nice that Claire rescued her friend and sister, but I hate to fail.
Today, I get the pleasure of going down to their prison and tell them to be quiet. They seem to be asleep for the most part but I don't care, they woke me up. The crazy girl is peacefully looking at her sister so I know she didn't wake us up, and she has hair in her face that makes her look like she just woke up. I look toward her sister and I'm about to unlock the bar to get her to train when I hear a very faint voice. Ignoring it I draw the katana to break the chains when—
"I said…PUT DOWN THE WEAPON!" The crazy one screeches with eyes red as blood, oh boy. Sensei told us not to get evil student mad, for what they can do is unknown.
He was right.
Miranda's POV
The red one comes to my cage and puts his katana down. Slowly, I stand up and focus my eyes to look into his.
" ' .doing?" I speak in a low voice.
"I was going to break the chains to ask your sister to be quiet." The red one matched my tone.
"Well she only did that because I was tired to scream for one of you to come down here."
"What did you need?"
"…I need to get out of here so I can go graduate Yale. Then I won't bother you anymore."
"You know that you sound like you're trying to escape?"
"I don't want to escape…" I decide whether or not I want to tell him of my situation.
"So you're really graduating from Yale?" he seems generally concerned now, and I don't want him to go back to being an angry fire ninja.
"Yeah, I'm giving a speech as well…; it would help if someone could help me sneak back to the academy to go get my graduation dress." I reply bleakly, as if they would let me even leave the prison to go get a glass of water.
"…let me go ask Sensei Wu," he goes upstairs for a while and I start to think that their Sensei said no. I sit against the prison walls and feel tears on the verge of falling. I wipe them away and stare at the wall thinking of how all my grade will be mad at me for delaying their departure to the real world. I know exactly which girls will actually be nice enough to ask if I was okay…like Cambria, Lora, Sincerity, Willow, and Georgia.
"Sensei said you could go, but I had to go with you." The red guy comes back.
"Really?" my heart is filled with happiness as I stand up.
"Yeah, but you have to wear these," he lifts up two metal circles, "so you never leave my person." Opening my cell, he slips the cold metal onto my wrist and clamps the other end to his wrist.
"Before you put that on, I have to go to the bathroom."
He blushes as he tells me to be quick. After I finish my business, I go back to the red guy; he pushes a button and our metal circles join together. Tugging at them I realize they are magnetic, we go upstairs to the garage to find a motorcycle. He gets on and waves to me to join him. I cautiously get on and ask if this is safe.
"Yeah, but you might want to grab something, just in case," he says and acting on instinct I wrap my hands around his waist and press my head onto his back. About 30 minutes later, we stop and I open my eyes to see the place I call home.
Kai's POV
I slow to a stop around the evil academy and get off. The girl slowly gets off and starts to move toward her room.
"Wait," I say and she turns, "I know that you know this place upside down, so can you us that knowledge to help me hide in the shadows."
She bites her lip and looks at me with gorgeous brown eyes, "Okay, follow me." she says as she moves around the base and hides behind a fence. She looks toward a barrel and pulls out a jacket about my size. She offers it to me and continues to dig through the barrel.
"What are you—" I start.
"These are cloaking devices with special hover powers that enable you to fly." She says and pulls out another jacket about her size. I put mine on and notice a name on it…Andrew. Shrugging it on I help her put hers on since she seemed to struggle with it do to our situation.
"Thanks." She says shyly and presses a button on the jacket near her ribcage and I do the same. We start to gain inches between the ground and our shoes. I feel something warm on my hand and look up to see the girl guiding me towards her room. We slow to a ledge on a tall, lean tower and take of our jackets. She grabs a grappling hook from her jacket, which says Miranda, and aims it for the top window. When it reaches the ledge, she hand me the end of it and tells me to start climbing. Obeying her orders I do, and she climbs the rope to the window.
"Who are Miranda and Andrew?" I ask, hoping to start a conversation. She looks down to me and bites her lip.
"I'm Miranda," is all she says before she continues to climb up the rope at a faster pace. I continue to climb for another 5 minutes until we are 30 feet from her window. She slips on one of the stones and falls, I activate the handcuffs and catch her before she can fall anymore. She thanks me again and stays by my side as I climb the rest of the way. Halfway there she rests her head on my shoulder and starts to fall asleep. I blush again and nudge her to wake up seeing we are almost to the window. She opens her eyelids and wriggles from my grasp to take a look at the window. She stays there for awhile, and I wonder again who Andrew is I almost ask when I hear her sob a little. I look through the window and see a man a little older then me on a bed talking to another man—probably Miranda's dad about a serious concept. I have no idea what it is but I can tell that Miranda does…and it hurts her to think of it.
Miranda's POV
I look through my bedroom window to find my dad and Andrew having a serious talk and I am confused until I see a small box in Andrew's hand. I gasp and feel my blood boiling up…I barely even know this guy and he and my dad are already having a talk about marriage. Doesn't my dad love my little sister; or me? Does he even notice that we're gone? Is it right for him to just decide if I want to be married to or not? Did Trance ever go through this? I start to tear up thinking about my older brother but sucked it in and focus on the task at hand. They shake hands and leave my room, giving me the perfect opportunity to get my dress.
Unlocking the hatch I fall into the room dragging the red guy with me. We scurry to get up and I drag him to my closet and pull out a suitcase. Inside I put a weeks worth of clothes in for Vanessa-Evangeline and myself plus my special graduation cap. I zip up the suit case and give to the red guy. We leave the academy on his motorcycle and half way through the ride I remember—
"My shoes!"
"Your…shoes?" ask the red guy confused.
"Yes you need to go back their…"
"Kai. And no I will not I already am doing something for you and your shoes are not worth my patients! I—"
"Please?" I ask on the verge of tears. He looks at me and his expression softens.
"Fine, but that is the last thing I will do for you." He says as he heads towards the mall.
A/N: No Kai, you won't…in fact your going to do so much more likeee…wait no spoilers :)
