WPBW4L: MY CHAPTER! xD
Ch.11
Rebecca's POV
"Hey you!" I shouted.
Phobos, having just struck Jane to the ground, whirled around to face me.
"Yeah, you! the ugly one! Yeah, why don't you just go pick on someone your own size?"
He cocked his head to one side, giving him the sickening appearance of a raptor, just about to do something vicious.
"Hmm...weelll..." he mused. "I could...but seriously," he said, spreading his arms out wide. "But where exactly is the fun in all that?"
I flicked my wrist ever so slightly, my whip skittering across the floor in a dangerous sounding snap. "Let - her - go!" I snarled angrily.
Phobos let out a loud laugh, sending a chill to my very core.
"You really think it is going to be that simple?" he asked kneeling by her fallen body. "You honestly think that I-" he paused to indignantly place a hand over his heart. "-would release one of your precious little friends?" He spat out the last word with contempt, like it was a foul poison in his mouth as he stroked Jane's cheek.
behind me, I could feel the indignation of my friends as they attempted to conceal their disgust and absolute hatred for Phobos in this given moment.
He looked back at us, a cold, steely glint in his eye. "Releasing her would be almost too easy, wouldn't it? To let you go back on your silly little quest, to all hold hands and run into the sunset and take our father's shield?" He glanced back at Deimos, and gave a subtle nod. Before we could react, Deimos scooped up Jane in his arms. "No!" I gasped.
"Oh yes!" he cackled. He turned to look at us all with a malevolent expression. "Good-bye!" Blowing us all a sarcastic kiss, Phobos and Deimos, along with Jane, vanished without a trace, leaving us all in shocked silence.
"NOOOO!" Jaclyn yelled, hurling her sword at the spot where they vanished in frustration.
In the following minutes after their disappearance, we were all at a loss at what to do. I just sat there in stunned silence, shocked at how badly we were ripped off. Don't come crying to me if it doesn't work out and we end up getting ripped off! Vanna had said. Indeed we were. And now, we are screwed. Royally screwed.
Cameron turned on Vanna. "This is all yourfault!"
Vanna wheeled around at Cameron, vexed at her outburst. "Oh, so it's all my fault, now, isn't it?"
"Yes!" Cameron hissed, not bothering to conceal her fury. "If you hadn't tried to stop us, we wouldn't be in this position! We-"
"Whoa, whoa, hold up!" Vanna interrupted. "I was the one who tried to stop you. I was the one who said it wasn't safe. I was the one who tried to tell you not to take the gold. I-"
"Just stop it guys, just stop it," I said, not bothering to raise my voice. I just wasn't in the mood. We couldn't turn back time, so what was the point of blaming one another? "Stop it!" I said, this time louder. When they proceeded to ignore me, I got up and physically tired to break them apart. "Stop it! Both of you!" Jaclyn, seeing my predicament, got up and began to help me break them up.
"No-ugh- No! No!" Cameron yelled, flailing her arms as I dragged her away from Vanna. "Let go of me, let go of me you little-"
"Enough!" Jaclyn shouted, glaring at both Vanna and Cameron alike as she held Vanna from behind.
"But she started it-"
"And I'm ending it!" I retorted. I craned my neck at look Cameron in the eye. "Can I trust you to not claw Vanna to shreds?"
Cameron mumbled something I couldn't hear. "Can I?" I repeated.
"Fine," she muttered.
I looked over at Vanna and Jaclyn.
After a brief pause, Vanna begrudgingly gave us a nod. Wordlessly, Jaclyn and I let go of Vanna and Cameron.
"Look, I know we are all kicking ourselves for not doing anything, but right now, there is nothing we can do is going to turn back time and prevent this from happening."
Cameron sulkily glared at the ground, kicking some invisible object on the ground that neither of us could see.
"But we can try to find her, and we will" I continued.
"But how?" Jaclyn wondered. "We have no idea where they are! How are we supposed to find Jane if we don't even know where they went?"
I thought for a moment. "I honestly don't know", I answered. I turned to Vanna.
"Vanna," I said. "Do you know anything that could help us?"
Vanna shook her head, lips pursed. She opened her mouth to answer my inquiry when a voice I never expected to respond...well...responded.
"I do."
I spun around, incredulous. "Cameron? What do you know?"
Cameron shot me a dirty look. "Don't misjudge me. They are my half-brothers, remember?"
I shifted my weight uncomfortably completely forgetting that Cameron was related to those bigots. "Anyway. What do yo-"
Anything that we were going to say was interrupted by a loud clang in the distance.
"What was that?" Jaclyn whispered nervously.
"It sounded like-"
"-someone was listening in on us." Cameron finished.
Vanna looked over at Cameron, then nodded. "Yeah," she finished. Then, "We should leave."
I looked around. The warehouse had the dark, decrepit appearance of being abandoned, but I could have sworn that I saw a shadow of someone, or something, skittering out of the light.
"We should go," I said, echoing everyone's opinions.
Not losing a second more, we all began to run for the exit.
