Colder Than Ice

Chapter 10

"Adryan! Do we have to go this fast around CORNERS?" Max shrieked.

"I should have known how they found us! I should have thought it might… but NO I had to forget that it even had that stupid locator on it!" Adryan grumbled angrily, not slowing as she took yet another curve at the speed limit. Terry continued to follow, feeling very pissed off and wanting to strangle a certain girl.

"ADRYAN! SLOW DOWN!" Max shrieked, as they approached Wayne Manor's Gates. But Adryan kept revving straight for the locked gates. Max screamed in fear, as Adryan hit a button that sent the bike and both it's passengers flying into the air and over the huge gate.

Adryan slowed the bike as they came to the front door, she jumped off of the now silent vehicle, leaving a petrified Max stuck to the back. Racing through the house, she ran to her room, stole the cell out of it and nabbed her sister's as well. She raced to the kitchen, filled a pot with water, turned both phones on and dropped them in, effectively frying them.

"You're too late, Wind, we have Earth in our grasp," a shadow chuckled.

"What have you done with my sister?" Adryan turned towards the voice, still holding the pan.

"Nice get-up you have now. Maybe we should have gotten together sooner, Windy," the voice was suspiciously male, and one that Adryan knew well.

"Patrick," Adryan glowered at the shadow. "I should have known you were in with the Thieves' and Murders' Guild!"

"Well, well, too bad your little partner isn't here," another figure announced it's presence.

"She's mine Jase, we made a deal," Patrick growled as he stepped out of the shadows. He was revealed as a thin, but muscular boy with died purple hair and green eyes.

"Yes, but you never mentioned she was beautiful," Jase sneered at his new partner.

"BACK OFF JASE!" Patrick growled, "You got her sib! That was the deal!"

Max, hearing everything ran back outside and phoned Terry. Terry flew in like an avenging dark angel. He crashed through the kitchen doors in his batsuit, clocked Patrick in one move, and began to fight Jase as a very angry Adryan whistled, down came the two large cats. Yam began to search for his mistress, and Strife began to help Adryan fight Patrick.

"WHERE'S MY SISTER?" Adryan shrieked as she flew at Patrick, catching him with a right hook, and then an uppercut when he refused to answer.

"Like I'd tell you…" Patrick chuckled as she punched him again.

"Tell me now or you'll never reproduce again!" Adryan growled.

Patrick's eyes widened, "She's in the forest!" Then he was kicked in that one space that all males are weak. "You said you wouldn't…"

"I said if you didn't tell me you would never reproduce, I never said anything about if you told me," Adryan sneered as she ran out to the forest, leaving Terry to tie up the two idiots from the Guilds.

"Adryan! Hold up!" Terry yelled, "It might be a trap!"

"It is, and I'm the one who has to spring it," Adryan replied as Terry caught up to her. "Look, things are going to get weirder than normal in a second… and I just want to let you know that you're a great friend… and if I don't make it, make sure Selina's taken care of…"

"The hell! You're not dieing on me!"

"No, but you won't see me after this…" Adryan closed her eyes and threw her head up to the clouds as she jumped and spread out her arms. "Protect Selina!"

Terry's mouth hung open in shock, Adryan was a hawk! He watched as she circled him, chirping at him until he was focused back on the task at hand… saving Selina, "Adryan… Let's save her."

The call of Adryan the hawk pierced the air as if calling for the sky to rally the troops, which, surprisingly, she did. Ravens, pigeons, sparrows, robins, blue jays, crows, owls, and a few red tailed hawks flew on swift wings to aide their winged sister.

As Terry charged the small group of ninjas, the birds flew down and bombarded the ninjas, Adryan leading the pack. Selina saw Adryan in hawk form and tried to get to her sister. She only managed it once all but two ninjas were knocked out.

"Adryan! No! You shouldn't have changed! Mom said you would… you can't!"

Chirp!

"Selina, what's wrong?" Terry hurried over to the girl, after he had knocked out the remaining two ninjas.

"Momma said that if Adryan ever attempted to take Hawk's form… that she'd be stuck for all eternity," Selina cried sadly into his shirt.

"Selina… she can't be stuck…"

"SHE IS!" Adryan the hawk seemed to sigh as she took off and left the two humans in the woods. Selina cried, "Hawk! Hawk! I want my sister back!"

Sorry for not updating for a while, I've been rather preoccupied. I think I have an ending for this story, finally! But it may take me one or two more chapters...
