A/N: I didn't kill you all with suspense did I?Ha, ha.We are back and currently have 2 issues with Maria, the whole NIF thing and ninja prophecy too. Well, you'll have to wait to the next chapter because it's Waddles's turn to narrate. But we've got some interesting stuff to find out here too!

Waddles

"Hello?" I called out, my voice echoing of the walls, "Who are you? And where are you?" I was hoping this was an ally, but I had a feeling it wasn't, "How do you know who I am?" All these questions, and not even a single answer. I started to think it was just my head confusing me. I sighed, and continued to walk in darkness. But soon, I bumped in to someone. I gasped, heart full of panic, and pulled out my only weapon, a plastic blue hairbrush from the kit, and whacked the unknown penguin in the eye. Soon enough the penguin came into the tiny slivers of light, and I was super shocked.

"Sorry, Sorry!" I shouted, "I didn't know it was you!" I couldn't believe I had hit Kara.

"It's my fault," she said, " I should have known you were going to attack someone, knowing they were from the other side of the wall,"

"Wait, what?" I asked, "What wall?"

"Darn it," she sighed, "I forgot you don't know," she took a breath,"The NIF has formed a wall to keep us apart, afraid of us helping each other, they want to keep us apart as much as the can. The wall is pretty weak, just made of wood, and you can easily scale it by making a ladder of nearby metal scraps,"

"That's how you got across?" I asked,

"You bet," she replied, "Not that hard really,"

"Do you know how many sections the walls spilt the room into?"

"Umm..five I think," she thought for a moment, "That means there are about 2 or 3 of us in each section, but probably put in at a reasonable distance,"

"Hey, I was wondering," I thought about telling her the kit, "Have you gotten food or supplies?"

"No," she shook her head, "And from what I know we aren't getting anything,"

I decided to keep the kit to myself, I would bring it up if I needed to, but I didn't feel like getting bombarded with questions. "So who do you think is on my side?" I asked her.

"I don't know for sure, but from hearing pieces of guards' conversations, I have a feeling it's Brittany, and Alexia may be on my side,"

I nodded in acknowledgment, "Anything on Maria and Jace?" I constantly worried about my friends up in the mountains.

"No," she replied, "The NIF thinks they're dead, and they were about to kill us, but they either cancelled or delayed it," She looked around in the darkness, "I guess we should try to scout out Brittany, or whoever else is on your side?"

"Yeah," I agreed, "And just saying, I don't think Jace and Maria are dead,"

"Neither do I," she said, "But it's for the best that the NIF thinks that,"

"So where do you think she is?" I asked, needing a clue of where to go.

"Well, I think she would be far away maybe-," before Kara could finish, I felt a tight grip on my jacket and the cold metal of handcuffs on my wrists, "You've got to be kidding me," she muttered under her breath.

"If you think you were going to scale that wall without cameras catching you, think again," said the guard, "Seeing that even this security can't keep you contained and still, we have to move you to an even tighter place, the last one we offer," So much more finding the others. "You and your friends are going to be moved there now," Two heavily armed guards took to escorting each of us through what felt like the longest staircase in the history of long staircases. There weren't any windows, and the only light came from flimsy ceiling lights. I was shoved into a microscopic cell, about half the size of a tiny janitor closet. All I could see was a old mattress thrown into a corner, and I collapsed on it, tired and sad. Every time I almost came close to finding one of my friends, I was pulled even further back.

Now here I was, thick stone walls surrounding me with no windows. I was trapped, and as I lay down on the mattress, I thought the walls were closing in on me. That's weird, I thought, I'm usually not claustrophobic. But then I noticed something frighting. The walls were actually closing in on me.

A/N: Just another cliffhanger full of suspense. Hey, did anyone catch the Percy Jackson series (by Rick Riordan) reference in the beginning? You'll only get it if you read the books. See you next chapter!
