Nyx
We're gonna make it!
I hoped along with the help of three Jamie's and hoped to God they wouldn't catch us. I took a chance and glanced behind me. They were still hot on our tail and I tried to pick up the pace.
We're gonna make it!
I saw the way out right in front of me. Saw the parting in the trees leading away from the now nonexistent mansion. I 'ran' harder, catching up to the others. I looked for Styxx and saw her in Ray's arms. What was wrong? Why wasn't she running? Had she been shot? What's wrong with her? I 'ran' even faster and got beside Ray.
"Whats wrong with Styxx?" I demanded.
"I saw her about to get shot and she was too tired to do anything but breath. I couldn't leave her. Besides, she weighs nothing." he said to me. I looked down at Styxx, she had a confused look on her face. Like she was trying to solve how many cubic feet of infinite space there is.
"Where are we going?" I asked. He was taking us somewhere and I didn't know how long I can keep up this 'running'.
"I know a place, it's not that far fr-" whatever Ray was about to say was cut off from the noise of about twenty bombs going off and the braking sound of trees falling. I turned my head around and saw Tabitha with and evil smirk on her face. I wasn't paying attention and stepped on my right leg. I fell over, screaming. I saw Styxx jump out of Ray's arms and run over to me.
"We need to get her to a hospital!" Styxx signed. That's the last thing I saw before I passed out.
I opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed was that I was ungodly uncomfortable. I lifted my head a little and saw what I would think a sewer would look like. I looked down and saw a ratty looking patched up blanket and a thin pillow were the only things separating me from the stone of the floor.
"-you can't stay long." I heard a female voice say somewhere behind me.
"How long?" another voice asked. I knew it was Ray.
"A few days." said the female voice.
"Callisto, we need more time. We're in no shape to go topside. Especially with them hunting us." Ray argued.
"I'm sorry. We can't risk them finding us. We are in no shape to fight them, your much stronger than us." the female voice, I'm guessing Callisto, said to Ray.
"Fine, a week? Please?" Ray sounded like he was begging.
"Two days. Then you'll have to go. I'm sorry." Callisto said. I heard her walk away. Ray's footsteps came closer. I tried to move but cought myself. I felt my leg and felt a splint on it and the bone was no longer sticking out. I tried to move and found the pain dulled ans I was able to sit up.
"Hey, Nyx. Your awake." Sam said, coming over to where I was sitting. Before I could ask what was going on, Styxx came over and hugged me.
"I thought you stopped breathing there for a minute." she signed to me. I looked into her dark periwinkle eyes, and asked-
"What is going on?" I looked from Sam's face to Styxx's and then to Ray's (who had just walked up).
"Well," Styxx started to sign to me, "We were all escaping from them and you took a step on your broken leg. When I got to you, you were screaming. I got your hand and you passed out. Then Ray led us here-" I interrupted Styxx now.
"Where is 'here' exactly?" I asked.
"IN the Bayville sewer system. We're here with the Morlocks." Ray said. Styxx continued.
"So, Ray led us here and we put your bone back into place, then set it. Now we're here." Styxx finished. My head was spinning and I felt myself start to pass out again.
"Back off!" Ray commanded. "Give the girl some air!"
"It's not that," I said, putting a hand to my forehead, "when was the last time I gave Styxx electricity?"
"Before this all happened." Ray said. Styxx came forward and gave me her hand. I took it and let the energy flow from my to her through our joined hands.
"Much better." I said when I finished. I dropped Styxx's hand and looked around.
"Everyone else is over here if you want to come over for something to eat." Sam said, walking off to the left. That was when I realized just how hungry I was.
"Little help, please." I said. Styxx put my right arm over her shoulder and helped me to my feet. I leaned on her and kept my right leg far from the ground. She helped me to where the rest of the Morlocks and New Recruits were gathered. There was no conversation. I quickly found the reason when I heard a pair of voices from above our heads. There were people above us, and they could hear us.
I quickly ate the food I was given. It was a small portion, I guess there was ten more people here than they expected. The food looked like gray mush and had no taste or smell what so ever. Me and Styxx made it back with everyone else to the place that looked like a bunch of blanket, and thin pillows set up over little piles of straw. I settled down into one and Styxx laid down beside me. There was two small and patched blankets at the foot of the make-shift beds. We pulled them up, they only went to out waist's.
As it started to get darker and darker outside, it got colder and colder down here. It was already pretty cold topsided (as Ray called it) the leave were already starting to change color.
A few hours later my arms feel like they're going to fall off from lack of warmth. I felt Styxx stir beside me and looked over. She was sitting up, and changing from her now destroyed Short black shorts and one-size-too-small black tank-top into her new recruiters uniform. I guess it would be a lot warmer. She stuffed the ruined cloths into her black backpack and laid back down beside me. She curled up in a tight ball and covered her thin frame with the small blanket. I rolled back over and tried to fall asleep.
I fell in and out of a light sleep. But the small pieces of sleep I got were dreamless, and not really resting. When I woke up, it wasn't because of some noise, but of the pain in my leg. Once I think I woke up screaming, but since not even Styxx looked over at me, I guess I didn't.
I laid there, quiet. Trying desperately to get to sleep, when Styxx moved again. Now it was about 1-2 in the morning. I sat up and looked at her. She didn't noticed me sit up and continued down the sewage tunnel; her backpack slung over her shoulder. I got up and followed. It looked like she was just taking random turns, but I knew it wasn't random when I started to hear male voices a few corners away.
"Dude, I know some of those freaks are down here!" I heard one say.
"Yeah, I'm sure, but why do we have to be down at 1:23 in the morning to nail these weirdo's?" another voice asked.
"Because, dumb ass, if we catch them when they are asleep we can take care of this faster, and if we get them alive, we get the reward." a new voice said.
What reward? What is going on? I looked back over to Styxx. She was crouched, pressed against the wall, and two metal polls, that she held like billy clubs, were in her hands. The four boys rounded the corner and I saw they all had these guns that looked like they were home made. They also each had about two hand grenades. Bounty hunters. Oh they are going to pay.
I slithered, silent and unsee up next to Styxx. I put my hand over her mouth to tell her I was there. She started to fight me and I breathed in her ear-
"It's me Styxx." she calmed after that. Styxx shook me off her shoulders and stood, still unnoticed, behind the four bounty hunters. She rose one of the two billy clubs in her hands and hit one of them right in the back of the head. Hard. He fell to the ground and the other three turned to look at the two of us. I guess we weren't very threatening looking. Oh well. Their funeral.
Styxx and I flew into action. I sent an electrical charge toward all tree guns and the exploded with loud booms and a bright light display. Unfortunately, my electrical charge also hit the flashlight one was holding witch left us in complete and total darkness. Styxx's eyes adjusted the fastest and she was back to whacking one with a billy club.
I looked down the hallway and saw a light coming toward us. At first I thought I had gotten hit and this was me passing out again. I then realized that it was the New Recruits and some of the Morlocks coming to help. They must've heard the explosions. Amara wasted no time in lighting up the hallway, and I finally got to size up the two left standing. They were both the same hight at about 6'1'' and had brod shoulders. They were built like a football teams star linebackers; bulky; brod; so unbelievably muscled; legs like tree trunks and arms like tree limbs; you get the picture.
I rushed forward at one and grabbed his wrist, sending a powerful current of electricity into their system. I overloaded their nevus system and had to pull myself back from killing him. I looked over to Styxx hitting the last one upside the head, knocking him out cold. I turned to see all of the people behind us looking at us in shock and awe.
"What?" Styxx signed. As I expected only Ray laughed and the others just looked clueless.
Thats when I realized something: I was standing, by myself, and was in no pain what so ever. I looked down at my leg. I took the splint off and felt around were the brake was. The bone was completely healed.
AN~ So what do you guys think? I've been thinking about doing a chapter in Ray's POV and want to see what you guys think. So tell me in a review or PM if you want me to continue with the Styxx, Nyx, Styxx, Nyx pattern or want me to change it up. Until next chap.
