Chapter 4

Having climbed through the Skylight, Rhuidea paused.

Now what genius? She thought irritably. Looking around, that's when Rhu realised- she was atop a massive, black Whaleking. Which was in mid-air over some desert?

The way this is turning out, things are gonna get interesting…

Spider chuckled, looking at her as he swung up to join her. "Gonna jump Phoenix?" he mocked.

Rhu titled her head. "Sounds like a plan!" she began running towards the edge.

A flying tackle sent the pair crashing to the ground. Rhu's arm caught on metal, creating a gash the length of her forearm.

Cursing, she tried to stand but couldn't, owing to the fact Spider still pinned her from knees down. "You ain't goin' anywhere!"

Somehow Rhu kicked him off, trying to hold the pain in her arm back. A dull throb in her head meant a headache, but she pushed it away to deal with later. Escape was the top priority right now. She stood defiantly in front of him, looking like the proud Phoenix she was.

"If I'm not going anywhere- you certainly are!" Rhu snapped, darting behind him and trapping his arms.

Matt paced outside the Hangar anxiously, Falcon watching him steadily.

"She should be back by now." Griffin muttered.

Sean grimaced. "Too true. Rhu said she'd be back in two days. Day three, and no sign."

Matt stopped pacing. "She's like a sister to us- and I don't like this."

"Nor do I, Griffin. Nor do I." Falcon sighed. "But there's nothing we can do."

Matt hit the wall of the hangar with his fist angrily. "That's the worst part."

Rhu darted behind Spider, trapping and pinning his arms. "Let's learn to fly!" she hissed, pulling both of them closer to the edge.

Spider broke free of the grip. "You trying to kill us both?!" he demanded, the pair teetering on the very brink. "No way either of us'd survive that fall!"

Rhu nodded grimly "I figured."

The next few moments were a blur. Rhuidea felt her arm shoot out, and saw Spider fall.

His scream brought Rhu back to harsh reality.

Gritting her teeth, Rhu jumped, and began to plummet through the air.

A fairly short chappie I know ^.^ … I think… *hides* the next chapter is either up now (as in when you're reading this) or it'll be up tomorrow. Provided I'm not in a lazy mood…
