Chapter nine- Revenge night to war night? What the crud! (Grace)
I helped Kirstey up, still confused. "Where did war? How did war?" I mumbled, dazed from her jump and her random warning.
"Frostarians." She murmured I yelped, fear already over coming my mind. I did NOT want to deal with those guys again. Not-at-all. "Your kidding…Right? Please tell me your kidding and just messing with us Kirst." I stammered, hoping she was just joking and just messing with us to get us to leave her alone.
"I wish I were Grace. I wish I were kidding." She sighed. "We don't have much time if this wasn't a joke." Deanna muttered.
"Training, a lot of training" Alison gulped. "Hard core training if we even want to me a match for one of their weaker." Nathan growled.
"Lets get to it. We have nothing better to do." Joanna sighed. "I don't see this ending well." Stuart said, his voice very weary.
"Group training." Kirstey shouted. "Now! Everyone in the base and shut those gate doors once we get inside!" We scrambled inside, most of us dragging another member along.
We worked through the night, fear fueling energy, hatred another resource if we ran out of fear. Though running out of fear for the Frostarians was a hard thing. The sun rose and it was high noon before we had a break. "Anyone know where Aqua is?" Rose's voice called over the silence.
For once, we were silent only because we were getting our breath or trying to get some sleep before our break was over. I shot up, new fear fueling my energy again. "No. Not for a couple days, why?" Kirstey called back, confusion deep in her voice.
"I checked her office a couple minutes ago, no sign. The door even had some dust on it, so it hasn't even been used in a couple days. A week at least." Rose's voice filled with concern.
"Oh gods, tell me I'm wrong when I think that something happened to Aqua" I began panicking, we we're in possible war with Frostarians, and there was no sign of Aqua? That was just great.
"I cant tell you you're wrong, though I wish I could." Rose's voice sounded like it was on thin ice. Their laid a world of wonder and horror beneath the ice we all stood on.
"Everyone, to the hall for lunch and go to the bunks for some sleep. When everyone's up later, We'll get back to training. " Deanna's voice ordered. "Right now, the high ranks need a minor meeting." I heard Kirstey call as we picked ourselves up and slugged back to the bunks.
I was the last out, just to hear the words. "You know what this means! She's gone and we're in war! For heavens sake! I don't think we can handle this!" A voice panicked.
"It's alright, Bonnie! We can do this. I know we can!" Joanna's voice reassured the voice apparently named Bonnie.
I walked out of hearing range, and looked at the hall. I wasn't hungry. Fear for death had taken the hunger out of me. I trudged of toward the bunks for some extra sleep. I needed the extra sleep. I had a feeling that I would need it later.
I collapsed on my bed, sleep overwhelming me the minute my head hit the softness. I woke up slightly, hearing the doors open again and feet shuffling across the floor.
If beds could cry, these beds would have because everyone just literally walked over and collapsed into their beds. I laid motionless and feel back asleep, into another dreamless, peaceful slumber.
