Chapter 12: Missing Marbles and Bricks

After knocking out Irvine, Thomas is on a psycho spree to get the other 3.

"I don't know about you 2, but I'm going to find him and knock his block off." Moonbay says getting up and going for the door, but she is stopped by Fiona.

"Moonbay you can get hurt again." Fiona says giving Moonbay the eyes.

"I'm willing to take that risk so you guys cane escape." Moonbay says looking back at Fiona.

"Moonbay please." Fiona whines.

Moonbay turns to Van, who currently has nothing to say.

"Van what do you think I should do?" Moonbay asks Van, who looks her direction.

"I really don't know. Fiona doesn't want you to go out there and get hurt again and neither do I, but some how we have to stop Thomas." Van says thinking.

"Why don't I knock those loose marbles back in his head." Moonbay says clenching her fists.

"I don't think that would help, but hold that until I come up with something better." Van says.

Out in the hall*

Thomas is still inching up and down the halls, looking for the other guardian force members.

"Come out guys I won't hurt you." Thomas says in a mocking tone as he continues to inch down the halls.

He finds the nearest door and walks up to it. He puts his hand on the knob and gently turns it, hoping the others are on the other side.

"GOT YA." Thomas yells as he opens the door. Once he gets a clear view of the room, he can see Karl sitting and reading the paper.

"Are we playing a game Thomas?" Karl asks looking up from the paper.

"Uh No. I thought I saw a spider walk in here and I was going to kill it hoping it was in here." Thomas says smiling nervously.

"Oh I'm sure if I saw it I would have killed it." Karl says putting the paper up to read.

Thomas leaves the room and goes back to his search for the others.

"Watch out Van. I'm coming to get Ya." Thomas says as he continues to roam the halls for his prey.

In the room*

I can't take waiting anymore." Moonbay says getting up to leave the room but is yet again stopped by Fiona.

"Why do you keep stopping me?" Moonbay asks trying to keep from getting irritated.

"I don't want anything to happen to you." Fiona says still holding her arm.

"Listen Fiona. If you continue to hold me back and I don't stop Thomas, he could hurt someone else, let alone us when he finds us." Moonbay says trying to shake Fiona off.

"Fiona letting her stop Thomas would be the best the best thing to do at the moment." Van says as Fiona lets go.

"But what if?" Fiona starts, but is cut off by Van.

"Don't worry." Van says taking Fiona in an Embrace. "If she knows what she's doing, she'll be fine."

Moonbay smiles at Van and out the door she goes. When she gets into the halls she turns to her right and then left, looking for Thomas.

"Where are ya, you psychopathic reject?" Moonbay asks herself. She decides to go left only to see Thomas standing there.

"Did I take care of you 10 minutes ago?" Thomas asks with a angered expression. Moonbay says nothing except takes her fist across his face. (That punch could have knock his brain off the stem)

Moonbay goes back to the door and signals for them to come out.

"Is it safe?" Van asks.

"He's unconscious." Moonbay says as Fiona comes out first. Van comes out behind Fiona.

"Ok let's get out of here before he decides to wake up." Van says as he, Moonbay, and Fiona begin to walk off. They don't get away a good inch when something grabs Fiona's foot. Fiona grabs onto van's shirt, making him turn around.

"Hey get your hands off Fiona." Van yells grabbing Fiona is the opposite direction of where she is being pulled.

Fiona is trying to kick him off. Moonbay reaches down and yanks Thomas off Fiona's legs. When she gets him off they run down the hall.

"Clever one Fligheit." Thomas says getting up wiping the blood off his mouth. "You're not getting away this time."

Irvine is now just waking up and now knows he has a headache.

"Oww my head." Irvine whines getting up. "I'm going kill that little prick for knocking me out."

Irvine gets to his feet and walks to find the others and Thomas.

Van, Fiona and Moonbay continues to run, when Moonbay stops.

"That's it, that's it. I'm tired of running from him. He's nothing I can take him." Moonbay says.

"Moonbay he's dangerous." Fiona says with the eyes.

"We're running from someone with some spray and a knife. He doesn't have anything that can totally harm us." Moonbay says getting angry. "But I can hurt him totally."

"Are you sure?" Van asks looking concerned.

"Believe me." Moonbay says. "You two just go right ahead."

"I hope you know what you're doing." Fiona says as she and van run.

Moonbay goes in the opposite direction to go find Thomas and take him, head on.

Thomas, who is coming from another direction, happens to be walking towards Moonbay without knowing it. Moonbay is on a head on collision with Thomas. When they reach corners, They bump into each other.

"Why do you keep showing up where I am?" Moonbay yells, grabbing him by the collar.

"Does it matter?" Thomas says smiling insanely. "By the way, where are the other 2?"

"Like I'm really going to tell you." Moonbay says shaking him by the collar.

"That's not the answer I expected." Thomas says as he slowly pulls out his knife.

"I'm not spilling, but you soon will be." Moonbay says getting ready to clock him, but before she wings, he swings his knife and cuts her arm. She releases him to hold her arm.

Thomas gets up and walks away. He continues to search for the remaining 2 members.

Irvine is still looking for Moonbay and begins calling out for her.

"MOONBAY ARE YOU IN ANY OF THESE HALLS?" Irvine yells. He turns the corner and is about to yell until he sees Moonbay laying down holding her arm. He runs to her aid.

"Moonbay what happened?" Irvine asks helping her up.

"Thomas----He cut-" Moonbay chokes out to the best of her ability.

"That sleaze ball." Irvine says helping Moonbay up. "Let's get you to first aid before that gets infected."

Irvine helps Moonbay to First aid.

Van and Fiona have found a safe place to hide for now.

"Ok this should be a safe place for now." Van says as Fiona observes the room.

"A closet?" Fiona asks turning to Van.

"You have a better Idea." Van says raising an Eyebrow.

"Well let's hope it's safe." Van says leaning against the door. Fiona walks up to Van and leans on him.

"Thank you for protecting me Van. I honestly don't know what he has against you." Fiona says looking up at Van.

"No problem. I have to protect you because it my duty." Van says smiling down at Fiona. Fiona smiles.

Thomas has had enough searching and decides to strip the whole fortress apart to find them.

"VAN I KNOW YOU ARE IN HERE SO STOP RUNNING AN BE A MAN." Thomas yells. The closet Van and Fiona are in, they can hear him.

"Van he's close." Fiona whispers.

"He maybe close, but he doesn't know we are in here." Van whispers.

"But what if he finds us?" Fiona whispers.

"He won't. I promise." Van whispers holding Fiona close.

"That's what I love most about you Van you always make me feel better." Fiona says leaning on him. Van looks down at Fiona, who looks up at him.

"You know it's just us in this closet." Van says.

"I know if you're thinking what I'm thinking." Fiona says grinning. Van smiles as to knowing what she is saying. When he moves from the door, a knife blade cuts through it.

Van and Fiona turn in horror at the blade stuck in the door.

"He found us." Fiona chokes out.
