I am very sorry for the long wait on this story! I finally got an insperation for this story, too bad it took forever. :(

Any way here is chapter 4!


CJ's P.O.V (cont..)

After waking up for the second time today, I found I was somewhere else…somewhere cold. I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't, so I used my other senses. My wrists had some type of cold metal bond on them, my ankles had the same type of bond too, I was on a cold platform I think or maybe a metal chair. The air smelt of blood and decay as my nostrils cringed with every breath I took. My long ears picked up on the sounds of many people screaming and ,for some, shortly after blood curdling gagging with gasps of air.

My face twitched at the disturbing noises until I hear the sound of faint footsteps. The clanking of boots touching the metal floor grew from softer to louder, I could hear my heart practically beating in my ears as panic was setting in for I had nowhere to run or hide. I tried to lay as still as possible as the footsteps drew nearer.

"So I see you are awake." spoke a familiar voice. I didn't respond to his statement. So help me Mar I wouldn't I reply to any of his sick game of comments or swooning. The male voice only sighed, "Now don't be shy, I wont hurt you…much!" My eyes shot open. "No!" I screamed then with a swift motion he turned on the machine and some type of eco was electrifying all my senses. It burned when ever I moved and it also burned when ever I didn't move. Thought my screaming I cried out quietly to myself. "Help me Coco! Before its to late, don't leave me here!"


Coco's P.O.V

I finished the race in record time with Jak just barley passing me every time. "I'd say we're evenly matched. What about you?" I asked the blonde. He simply nodded trying to hold in his laughter. Daxter sat, no wait Daxter clung onto Jak's shoulder with the most feared expression on his tiny face, but to top that of his short well groomed fur was now a frizzy/fuzzy mess. There was no longer an ottsel on the older boys shoulder there was a fuzz ball!

"WHAT?" asked the ball of puff. "Oh nothing, nothing." I waved him of with my left hand. As we walked up to the door that led out to the pumping station Jak spoke. "Um, Coco.." he trailed. "yes" I replied still trying to hold back my laughter. "Where's CJ?" Jak asked me. "Yeah! Do you think she's ok?" Daxter added with worry.

I looked at him with a reassuring look. "Don't worry, she's fine!" I then brought my gaze from the rat to Jak. "She probably went back to HQ." Jak looked at me a little funny as if I was stupid or something. "Relax! She's fine, both of us are tough, so when we are in danger we can fight off what ever it is. Now come on we have a city's water system to turn back on!" After retrieving Daxter from the sewage pipe we headed back to HQ only to find no CJ.

"Torn, where's CJ?" I said in a panic. "What do you mean? I thought she was with you and the two rookies." he replied actually looking up from his maps. "Well guess what, she isn't!" I said with frustration at the man.

"Torn why don't you care?" I raised my voice.

"Of course I care-"

"Well if you cared you wouldn't be hiding behind yourself because you don't know what to do and your scared-"

He glared at me. "I do care Wolf!"

"Oh is that so? Then why don't you sa-"

"I cant!"

"Why not? Are you worried about becoming soft!" I demanded at him slamming both my hands on the table as the dim light swung from side to side. "Of course not, it's just-"

"Its just what?" I interjected. "Actually you know what? Forget it!"

"Why?" Torn yelled back at me extremely angered.

"Because I highly doubt you would know where my sister is!" I shouted as I spun around on my heels and marched away pissed off like hell. Jak and the little rodent were coming down the stairs when I pushed my way past him almost knocking the rat off him shoulder. "What the hell Coco! You o-" I spun around and glared at the blonde. "I'm fine, just leave me the hell alone!" I turned back around and marched the rest of the way up the stairs.


Walking to the centre of the city I climbed on to one of the roof tops, sat down and stared into my, at the time, scattered imagination. I had all these frantic thoughts as to were my sister could be and what might be happening to her. That was until they were broken by the Barons deep and evilly gruff voice. "Serve your city. Sacrifice for your city. And all will prosper."

'Yeah! As if!' I thought. "Sacrifice is something you should do for your city! Sacrifice for your city. Remember, even friends might be enemies! Join the Krimzon Guard and your family will be allowed to stay" My head then quickly shot up at those words. 'Oh man, I hope my idea is wrong but I've just got to check!' Leaping thirty feet from the roof top I touched the ground and kept running as if nothing had happened. After a few twists and turns I finally reached my destination.

I burst through the HQ's doors as Daxter, Torn and Jak all stared at me with wonder. "Torn I think I might know where CJ is!" I panted.


Oh! i wonder if Coco's right on CJ's where abouts... well you'll all find out sooner than later(just not as late as this chapter hopefully!) please R&R! :)
