under the spell of full November moon
light on the broom
frost in my room
in through a window came a ghost I knew
she paid me a visit while I was in my bed
sleepy, she said,
"sleep as though dead
for in the morning you are called"
is what she said

-Jesca Hoop, The Kingdom

-Chapter Twelve-

-Fang-

The girl smiled at us. "It's nice to meet you." she greeted.

This defiantly wasn't the real Max. She skipped down the stairs; her wavy blonde hair pouncing like a little girls pigtail. Her beaming smile gave her away; she was a clone of some sort.

"Where are we?" Goose asked the perfect family.

"You're in our home." The women answered with a large smile.

I looked at Duck and Goose giving them the 'We should leave' look.

"Oh look at the time, we should be going." Duck said as we all turned to leave.

"But you just got here." Max protested.

"So…" Goose said as we closed the door behind us. In vast steps we fled the room back into the dim halls of Itex.

Two doctors stood in the hall with dropped jaws. Once one started to reach for the pager hanging at his side, I slammed my fist into his jaw. Duck and Goose began fighting the other, who was much stronger than.

The one I was fighting swung a fist at me, which I dodged. His other fist jabbed my gut.

Swiftly I brought my knee into the man's stomach. Once her doubled forward I harshly brought my fist to the side of his head.

Duck and Goose had brought the opponent down, and now we stood there, looking up and down the hall trying to figure out where to go.

It decided with left which took us to these large double doors.

Quickly we pushed them open to reveal rows of tables and bored looking kids. No one seemed to notice us come in.

-Max-

When they were finally done, I was sent back to the dorm thing, only I had this chip in me that was like a house arrest thing.

I hope Fang got out safely.

I sat at the cafeteria table staring at the globs of so called food in front of me. It all reeked of mold and nastiness. Ew.

The clicking of the doors drew my attention to the three boys walking towards me.

Duck, Goose, and Fang.

sorry that was really short
