Midnight walked silently through the dark halls down to the intensive care unit. Ash had been trying to seem cheerful earlier, after Nurse Joy came a second time to talk to him, but he was scared and worried. She had heard everything that Nurse Joy had said, and she understood what she had to do.
Ash was asleep right now. She had pretended to go to sleep earlier so that he wouldn't try to recall her. She felt bad about deceiving him. He was a good trainer, but she didn't have a choice.
Coming to the locked door, Midnight paused. She didn't want to break it down, but she had to get in. She knew there was a way…but she couldn't remember. Refraining from roaring in frustration, she paced back and forth soundlessly. She had known how to do things like this before…before what? She remembered doing this before. In her mind she looked at the rough-hewn wooden door she had just gone past, but how had she done it?
She hadn't Changed, she knew that, but maybe she could try that this time, until she remembered. She closed her eyes and tried. Midnight focused on the image, and willed her form to change…
She opened her eyes in defeat. She couldn't even feel the Change try to begin. She needed more practice. Last time she had Changed, she hadn't realized what she was doing, she was just trying to get out of the webbing…maybe if she tried to get through the door? She wasn't scared or angry like when her powers normally came…maybe if she focused on what would happen if she didn't get through the door, if she stayed here, then it might work.
Midnight walked up to the door and pushed on it gently. She didn't want noticeable dents all over the door next morning, which would give her away. She thought about going through the door, and about what would happen if she couldn't get through soon, but nothing. Midnight felt the metal start to give, and hurriedly backed away. Horrified, she looked at the door, but the dent was scarcely there.
Midnight Glared at the number pad. If she had just been able to figure out how to get the information from Nurse Joy! She had known how to do that before too. Midnight felt even more like roaring, but no, that would wake Ash and Nurse Joy up, and might scare the Lessers inside, who were in bad condition. Before long, the pad started to spark, so she stopped Glaring at it. Moving closer until the tip of her nose just touched it, she looked at it. Strange that this simple, weak thing could stop her. She could rip it apart in seconds, but that would give her away.
Why didn't she just try to explain? Midnight knew there was a reason that she shouldn't let the humans know, but she couldn't remember it. She knew it was a good reason though. But if she couldn't remember it, maybe she was making a mistake- no, there was a reason. She could not tell them, or let them find out!
But if she didn't get in there soon…
Midnight suddenly vanished into thin air.
What do you think is going on right now?
