Chapter 11: A Restless Night
That night, Phobos ran to the vampire clan and snuck around inside going to every home trying to find Miranda. He finally found her asleep next to Matt's girlfriend. 'This will work out much better then expected.' Phobos then grabbed both girls by the mouth and held on tight as he ran outside the building and all the way back to his home. Phobos threw the two to the ground and had Will taken away. Phobos then turned to Miranda and smiled. "Miranda, I hear that you're pregnant." Miranda just stared him down as she sat on the floor. "I was originally planning on getting you killed but I have come up with a different solution taken that you agree to it." Miranda didn't move an inch but inside she had already started to tremble. "Here is the deal Miranda, I'll let you live but as soon as the child is born, you kill it."
"No way Phobos, I'm not going to kill my own child." Miranda shot back with forced anger as she is terrified.
"Then you die at dawn." Phobos turned to walk away and then thought of something. "I guess I may as well tell you since you're going to be dead tomorrow anyway." Miranda looked up at him curiously. Phobos then turned around to look her in the face. "I had always thought of you as a weapon Miranda and you served me well, however losing you will be no lose to me." He then told a guard to take her away.
Miranda was grabbed and then thrown into the dungeon right next to Will and chained the two to the cold metal wall. "He used me as a weapon for war. He never cared about me at all." Miranda then started crying.
"Miranda, is Phobos worth it now?' Miranda shook her head and looked at Will in her eyes. "Why don't you come live with me and the others?" Will asked as she wrapped her arm around Miranda's shoulder. Miranda just sat there still crying a little and Will just frowned at her sadly. "Let's get out of here Miranda."
Miranda looked at her and shook her head. "We can't, these are practically unbreakable." Will just laughed at hearing this. "What's so funny Will?" Miranda asked somewhat irritated that she wouldn't believe her.
"Things are only unbreakable if you don't know how to break them." This caused Miranda to cock her head to the side. "Chains like these are unbreakable to a certain point but if you weaken that point, they aren't unbreakable anymore." This confused Miranda even more. Will then gripped onto the metal wall that the chains are attached to and pulled as hard as she could and finally ripped the chains from the wall. "That was the first step to breaking the chains. Now that they are disconnected from the wall, we can break the chain." Will said as she pulled on the chain and eventually the chain snapped. Miranda looked in awe at what she is doing. "Now all we need to do is break the cuffs which will be much easier now that the chain is broken." She grabbed onto one side of the cuff and broke it with ease. Then she did the rest and moved onto Miranda. After she finished up with Miranda's, Miranda looked to Will for an explanation. "You see, I had to break the strongest part of the chain which means the wall had to go. As soon as that was gone, the chains weakened making them breakable and then the cuffs. While the chains are connected to the wall, it makes it hard for the chains to break because by pulling on the chains, you have the extra resistance from the wall. Trying to break them in half while they are still connected to the wall doesn't give you much room. I'll explain the rest to you later but right now we had better get home before they realize we have escaped." Miranda nodded and the two broke the wall to the dungeon and then ran off.
That morning, Raythor went to go get the prisoners but found them gone. This made Raythor nervous as he had to tell Phobos that they are gone. He nervously went back up the stairs to find Phobos waiting for him. Phobos gave him a glare and then Raythor slowly spoke up. "The prisoners…have uh…escaped." Raythor got ready to be hit but nothing happened. When he looked up, Phobos had left. Raythor wiped his brow and left.
Will and Miranda got back to the vampire clan that morning tired of all the running and hardly a thing to eat. The two sat down on some boulders and started talking after they grabbed some animals to feed on. "So you think that you and Cedric would like to stay here where it will be safe from Phobos, for the most part anyway."
Miranda nodded and smiled at her and then noticed that a wall had been started. Miranda ignored it and turned to Will. "So what do you think will happen when Phobos sees that we're gone?"
"He won't be happy, that's for sure." The two laughed and then looked toward the wall.
"So Will, what's with the wall? Would this really keep unwelcome guests out? I just don't see how that would be possible." Miranda looked at the wall and found that if they could break through a metal wall, what good would another metal wall do.
"Don't worry about that, there is more to this wall then you will ever know but as a suggestion, don't touch it." Miranda stepped back a little, surprising herself that she is scared of a wall. "Let's get back to the room and rest up a bit shall we?" Miranda nodded and then yawned from the lack of sleep that she got as Will did the same. The two headed to their room and once they got there, they laid down and they were almost asleep when a knock was at the door. The two groaned and told the person to enter.
In walked Cedric and Matt who had shared a room since the girls shared a room. "You two must have had a long night if you are just going to bed." Matt said.
"You have no idea." Miranda and Will said at the same time and then fell to sleep. The boys left to get ready for the day.
A/N: This is one of my shorter chapters though you probably won't be able to tell. Anyway, thanks for the reviews and please continue to review. Hope you enjoyed the chapter and I'm not sure how many more chapters there will be. In fact, I have surprised myself with how many chapters I've done. Enough talking though.
