Chapter 11
Max POV
The Voice had told me that the Overtakers wanted Finn because he had potential to become the leader of Overtakers. I wasn't about to tell him that.
"You," Angel had said. Finn looked pale which I didn't blame him.
"Okay," I said. "We need to figure out where they are. Fang and Amanda."
"I think they're in the fountain. Why else would they guard it like that?" Philby said.
"He's right," Iggy said. "We have to go back in there."
"But…" Charlene hinted.
"Finn can't go," I said.
"What?" Finn asked. Now he was angry. "I have to go! That's my friend in there!"
"Look, Finn. We can't have you going in there when they obviously want you for something," I rolled my eyes, as of the fact that it was obvious he shouldn't go.
"But" Finn started.
"No," I said fiercely. I turned to my flock.
"We're going in, see ya on the flipside."
"Wait, what about us?" Maybeck asked.
"You can't go. You can't fight. We can't protect you all," Gazzy explained.
"Gazzy!"
'What? I'm stating a fact," he protested.
"Well what if it's some brain thing?" Philby asked. "I could help." I sighed.
"Fine. You come. Nobody else," I said. Iggy grabbed Philby's hand and spread his wings.
"Down we go," I muttered. And down the fountain we went.
"Are we there yet?" Nudge asked for the umpteenth time.
"Shh!" Iggy hissed.
"Almost, Nudge," I said. We crept past a whole cell of dungeons.
"Could they be in there?" Angel whispered in my ear.
"Might," I said. "This way, guys." The flock, Philby, and I tiptoed our way down the hallway. After passing three prison cells, Iggy finally broke the silence.
"This is a waste of time."
"They have to be here somewhere!" I was desperate to find Fang. I had almost died… a lot to find him. He better be okay. We passed by two more.
"There's…" Philby began but didn't finish. Footsteps echoed through the hallway behind us.
"Hide!" I hissed. We all crammed into one prison cell. After we closed it, we realized what had just happened.
"Crap," I said.
"That sums it up," Philby added. We had just locked ourselves inside a prison cell. A shadow cast itself on the stones until we finally saw who it was.
Finn POV
"I can't believe she'd just leave us here!" Maybeck exclaimed. I swear, if he said that one more time, I'd be pushed to lock him in Space Mountain again.
"She's right though. We wouldn't be much in a fight," Willa said, kicking a leaf.
"They've been in there awhile. Do you think they're okay?" Charlene asked.
"Yeah… no." I said.
"Someone should go look," Maybeck said. I looked at the stones. Silence.
"By 'someone', I mean you," Maybeck clarified. I frowned.
"Fine," I grumbled and threw the climbing rope back down.
"Geronimo," I said before sliding down. I took a left and saw the prison cells. Amanda and Fang might be in here. I walked down until I heard
"Hide!" It was Max. They must be okay then. I saw them hide in a prison cell. I literally facepalmed when they closed the door behind them.
"Guys…" I said.
"What the heck are you doing here?" Max hissed, gripping the bars angrily.
"A 'hi Finn' would be nice. I'm here to help."
"You shouldn't be down here!" Philby exclaimed.
"They made me!" I exclaimed. I realized I sounded kind of whiny.
"What now?" Nudge asked. "We can't search for Fang here. Oh and Amanda too. I didn't mean to forget about your friend. I…"
"Nudge," Max said. Nudge closed he mouth.
"Philby, turn into light."
"What? I told you that…"
"Practice. Now would be a good time," I said firmly. Philby paused.
"Fine," he grumbled and closed his eyes.
"Concentrate on becoming light," I encouraged him. Philby walked forward. Wham! He ran into the bars.
"Ow…" he rubbed his forehead.
"Try again," I said.
"So I can run into the wall again? No thanks," Philby crossed his arms. I sighed. I looked at the lock.
"Go Philby," Angel whispered. Philby turned and looked at her.
"Light," she whispered. "Light."
"You're creepin' me out, kid," he said. Then, he froze.
"What are you…"
"Shh," Max said. Philby closed his eyes and walked through the bars. He had become light. He now stood next to me.
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"Long story," Max said. "Open the door." Philby took a good look at the lock before twisting it sideways. Click! The lock opened. It was almost insulting how fast he did that. They all scrambled out.
"Let's go," Max instructed.
Me: And we're nearing the end, people.
Finn: The end… of the world! 2012 is coming soon!
Me: For the last time, Finn, the world will NOT end in 2012.
Finn: Yes it will! The movie and the Mayans proved it!
Me: No they didn't! They just ran out of room on the freaking stone!
Finn: You can't prove that!
Me: Have you seen the stone? There's no more room for anything!
Finn: Whatever. You're being indenial.
Me: You're being indenial! You refuse to believe the world will be alive after 2012.
Finn: I am not indenial!
Me: Ah… the indenial person denies being indenial.
Finn: What?
R & R?
