Thnx guys for the reviews! Anywayz, my b-day's tomorrow! Can't wait! I do not own 9. 9 belongs to Shane Acker. I only own Jess. Enjoy!
Once we got back to the chapel, we snuck into 2's room I believe. "Alright, where'd he put them? Uh, they're here somewhere. Here, here. Here they are." 5 had found one of the pictures that 6 drew. "Right?" 9 turned on his light staff, and looked at the drawing.
Just then, 8 had picked up 5 and 9. He laughed menicantly. "Leave them alone." I had to help them.
8 looked at me confused. "Whoever you are, 1 might want to speak to you." I nodded as 8 led us to the Throne Room.
"Should I have a bad feeling about this, 5?" I asked. He nodded. "Gulp." I said.
1 noticed me as soon as we walked into the room. "Who is this?" I stared stammering. "Speak child!"
"I'm Jess." I suddenly lost my courage, and I freaking hated the guy! I started to hate this dream.
As I was sorta dazed out about it, I heard 1 yell "You awakened what? You fools! I warned you!"
8 butted in. "He warned you."
"Now you've put us all in unimaginable peril. And, may I ask, did you manage to save 2? Of course not! By following this witless folly, you've endangered everything we've worked for!"
Right then I saw that 9 was getting a little ticked. "But why was 2 sent out to begin with?"
"I sent him! To scout!"
"That doesn't make any sense! You don't send the oldest out to-" I put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. It seemed to work, because I saw his facial expression change. "Look, we need to figure out what's going on."
We heard something fall over, and 6 came out, holding a drawing of the Tailsman. "The source. The source." He held it up to 9. "Go back, to the source."
"This is it. This is what awakened the Machine. What do you know about this?"
1 slammed his staff. "Ah, you can't be trusted. I won't allow you to endanger us further. Subjugate them!"
8 looked mixed up. "Sub what?"
"Oh, you illiterate cretin. Take their belongings!"
8 snatched the drawing from 9 and was trying to shake 5 bag off of him. "Hey!" 8 pushed 9 out of the way, making him fall into a chess piece, which fell into oblivion. "You're nothing but a coward."
8 dropped 5 and walked over to 9. I ran over to back him up (AN:9, not 8.), but 1 went in front of 8. "How dare you challenge me. I who kept everyone safe, all these years. Ever since you got here, everything has been unraveling. You're a curse, a fool! Guided by pointless queries."
"And you, are a blind man. Guided by fear!"
We saw something fly past the window. "Sometimes, fear, is the appropriate response."
9 and I looked up, and ran out of the way, as well as the others. "Oh, shi-talking mushrooms." I said. Because right in front of us was the Winged Beast!
Whew! I'm done! With this chapter at least. I had fun writing this chapter. I also used Carmen's funny line from the Spy Kids movies. Please read and review!
