Haha new chappie


They bound Tai on the wall harder with a rope. Blood dripped from her mouth and other open wounds but she muttered curses at them as they watched for tears to fall from her cheeks. Crysta shook the dog crate that they had forced them in.

"Shut UP! One of the talons yelled and kicked her crate.

"Don't hurt her!" Tai yelled at him. He grabbed a crystal whip and hit Tai with it repeatedly. Her agonized moans rang in Piper's ears.

"STOP!" Piper yelled, The talons turned to her. "Hurt me not her. HURT ME!" Piper screamed at them.

"Oh thats coming" The talon said sinisterly and whipped at her again.

"Hey man let me try" One talon said.

"Sure" The talon holding the whip said and gave the whip to the asking talon. The asking Talon put the whip in the table and grabbed a crystal.

"Its a fear crystal. It brings your fears forward every time you shut your eyes" He said and blasted her with it.

"To late.." Tai said and shut her eyes and she winced at every detail.

"Why won't you cry?" A talon yelled in her face.

"Why should I? Because you whip me? Because you bring my fears forward? I have no reason to cry about. Crying isn't gonna get me out of here." Tai whispered. The talons left and Tai's head drooped.

"Tai?" Piper croaked out.

"Yes Piper girl?" Tai said hoarsely.

"How are we gonna get out" Piper asked pleadingly.

"... I don't know Piper girl" Tai breathed, "How are you guys doing?"

"I don't think we matter as much as you right now" Aerrow said.

"I've been through worse" Tai breathed and let the memorys run through her head. A hot chill ran on her scar on her back. A dark figure walked out of the shadows. He held out a greenish crystal toward Tai. He blasted her with it and her bleeding stopped most of the wounds. He grabbed a medikit that was on the table and set to work on bandaging Tai's worse wounds.

"Thank you" Tai breathed.

"Im used to treating your minor wounds" The talon said and tied the gauze so it wouldn't fall.

"Link?" Tai breathed.

"Yes its me" The talon said taking off his helmet and goggles. He left the room but came back with a bucket of water and gave the group long drinks of water. When he had finished he nelt next to Crysta's crate and slipped his fingers through the bars.

"I thought you where dead." Crysta said and gripped his fingers.

"I was undercover" He said and leaned his cheek on the crate bars, "and there was never a day that when by that I never thought of you." He pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the crates and helped Luke get Tai down from the wall. Link pulled a stethoscope out of the med kit and put it on her chest.

"Breathe in" She did so "Breathe out" He measured her heart rate and put up the scope.

"She lost a lot of blood" Link said as Tai's head drooped and she leaned into Luke's arms.

"I'm fine" She stuttered. Her skin was pale her lips where blue and she had bruises to where the ropes bound her.

"No your not you have to rest" Link said and pulled out a cloaking crystal. He led them to a cave in the mountain side. In the cave there was food water and a warm fire but something else.

"Annie" Tai whispered. The black and white dog jumped forward and licked Tai, "I missed you to Hon" She said as Luke laid her down on mat next to the fire Annie laid down next to her.

"You can rest here until midnight them you have to attack in stealth" Link said as the group took places next to the fire.

"If its stealth you need, she's right- urg- here" Tai said putting a hand on her side.

"One more thing" Link said and put a crate in front of them and opened it. Crysta looked in side and pulled out her sword. She passed the weapons to the owners and sat next to Link.

"What if we don't win?" She said.

"We will" Link said and nuzzled her cheek "I promise"

"What about our horses?" Tai murmured.

"There in the woods safe"

"The other animals?"

"Same."

"Good" Tai said and settled into sleep. Luke stroked her hair.

"Should we tell them?" Luke asked Crysta.

"Tell us what?" Piper asked leaning on Aerrow's shoulder.

"When Tai wakes up" Crysta said as Link left. Crysta walked with what little strength she had left and opened the crate of food and passed around bags of dehydrated fruit and bottles of water.

"Dehydrated fruit has never tasted so good." Finn said and tore into his bag. Crysta fed the fire and Annie. Annie happily ate the fruit and wagged her tail. The group slowly drifted to sleep.

Midnight

Tai sat up and stood. She wobbled a bit but righted herself. She unbandaged herself and saw that her wounds where perfectly healed, only leaving slight scars in there place. She reached inside the weapons crate and pulled out one of the loose boards. Two masks where there. Tai reached in and grabbed them and threw the black one at Luke. She nudged the group awake.

"Its time" Tai said and looked at the mask in her hand.

"Tai whats that?" Piper asked "Your hiding something aren't you? You always sucked at hiding things" Piper said.

"Heeh" Luke let out a breathless laugh and opened his mouth wide. His canines grew out into fangs and his eyes turned snake like. The Storm Hawks scooted away. Crysta's eyes turned purple and cat like and her hair turned brown. Tai sat cross legged staring at the mask.

"Piper we're um we're"

"Spit it out" Finn said.

"We're Meta-humans Piper"
