I felt really bored today and I didn't feel like writing for my other stories, so I decide to make you people happy and update!!!! Well... I still don't really feel like writing, but I haven't been feeling like writing anything lately.... Or doing anything! No clue why... just this lazy phase I'm going through, and I'm sorry if you're pissed I discontinued this story for a little while, but I'm back, and hoping to write more!!!! So thank you all, and here is the chapter you've all been wanting me to write!!
"How are we going to get in?" Shalimar asked, pressed her body close to the side of the mountain, following Brennan's lead.
"I... don't have a clue..." Brennan said looking at Shalimar with a, "We're screwed," kind of look. He felt so stupid for not planning this rescue operation before bull headedly going to do the rescue attempt.
"Great..." Shalimar said, sliding down to the ground, he face crumpling in tears.
Brennan kneeled down close to Shalimar, trying not to fall off the little piece of ground in the process.
"Shal, we're going to make it okay. We'll get Adam out, and everything will be okay. You just have to have... faith." Brennan said, realizing this was utterly hopeless.
What was he kidding? They were outnumbered a hundred baboons to two. They needed a plan, a really good one. Thing was, how they were going to come up with it... he did not know.
Shalimar wasn't quite sure they would be able to do this with just the two of them, but they had to. As a feral, she was mighty protective of the people she loved, and her surrogated father was now in extreme danger.
"God... I wish Jesse wasn't conked out. He's the only one who knows how to get back in!" Brennan exclaimed, leaning against the wall.
Suddenly, there was a rustle in the distance, putting the two mutants at alert.
"Shal, shhh..." Brennan said, getting back up. He peeked around the corner of the cliff, and moved back quickly. "Shit. 6, 30 feet away." Brennan said, his forehead knitted into a frown.
"Bren! We can't let them go any farther or they'll find Emma and Jesse!" Shalimar said worried.
"We have to make a distraction." Brennan looked around the area.
With their small space to work with, there wasn't much they could do.
"Okay Shal, you jump up onto the side of the cliff up there." Brennan whispered, as she got the hint.
Slowly, Brennan moved closer to the corner, waiting momentarily for Shalimar to get in place. Once he saw her safely up on the ledge, he turned sharply around the corner, electricity already rippling through his fingers.
"Hi boys, ready to come and pl—" Brennan said as a beam of heat brushed by his hair line. "Whoa!" He bent back, the beam just barely missing him.
He was about to laugh at the stupid morons until he heard a heart stopping scream from above him. He watched as Shalimar got hit with one of those beams, as she started to crumple and plummet down the steep slope.
"Shal!" Brennan yelled, jumping outward to try to reach her.
"Adam, Adam, Adam...." Ashlock said with a smirk, plopping himself down on a chair in front of Adam.
Adam clenched his jaws, trying to work at the ropes tied around his wrists.
"I know what you're doing Adam. I'm psychic, you forgot? Forget about trying to escape." Ashlock said, looking at his fingernails, cleaning the dirt under his nails.
"Gabriel, you're making a mistake." Adam said, giving up on untying himself.
"Me? Mistake?"
"Yes!" Adam said angrily. "Let the others go. You can take me, but if you hurt my children, you can just wish you didn't break in here!"
"Adam Kane... Threatening me?" Ashlock laughed, shaking his head slightly.
He walked around Adam once, then quickly wrapped his fist around Adam's collar, pulling him up roughly.
"Nobody... threatens me, and lives to tell tale." Ashlock said, dropping Adam brutally onto the hard tiled ground.
Adam gave a grunt, but didn't take his glaring eyes away from the madman he created.
"You know that your little.... Children..." Ashlock said mockingly, "escaped.... But don't get so excited." He said, watching the confusion on Adam's worn out face. "We happened to have found out how to operate the com-link systems." He said, watching Adams face pale.
Inwardly, he was glowing, knowing that he was able to frighten the big Adam Kane felt good, very good.
"Leave them out of this!" Adam said, lowering his head to the ground.
He knew he couldn't stop Gabriel from doing what he knew he was going to do. Suddenly a familiar scream that ripped through his heart filled the room. Adam flicked his head up, watching the big screen in front of him, showing the outer sanctuary. His skin turned ashen when he saw Shalimar and Brennan both falling to the ground, but the difference of the two was that Shalimar was flying limply through the air.
"Shalimar..." Adam said in a whisper.
"Jesse." Emma said, cupping her hand to Jesse's face.
Jesse moaned again, throwing his head to one side.
"Come on Jesse. Please wake up." Emma pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes.
She was so worried. With Brennan and Shalimar gone, it was like they were sitting ducks, ready to be plucked, one by one. It was unnerving sitting there alone in the silence of the wood area they were sitting in. Other than the occasional rustle that scared her a bit, it was completely silent, like the silence of a storm before it starts to destroy.
"Em..." Jesse groaned, slowly opening his eyes, one at a time.
He closed them again shortly after opening them, seeing like weights were holding his eyelids down.
"Jess, you okay?" Emma asked worried, stroking Jesse's hair tenderly.
"Yeah... My head just hurts a little bit." Jesse said, slowly pushing himself up to a sitting position.
He sat for a moment with his eyes closed before opening them again to look at Emma.
"You all right?" Emma asked again, putting a hand on Jesse's shoulder, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"Mmmhmmm..." Jesse said, looking around with a confused expression. "Where's..."
"Gone." Emma replied, seeing Jesse look even more upset.
"What'd you mean they're gone?" Jesse asked, thinking about it deeply as it troubled him.
They sat in silence for a little while until Jesse suddenly jumped up, grabbing Emma's hand.
Emma let out a little yelp, wondering what was wrong with Jesse.
"Jesse! What! Ow, you're hurting me!" She yelled, as Jesse let go, massing his arm and crushing something in his hand.
Emma looked at her hand, seeing he had taken her com-link.
"What.... Oh..." Emma said, feeling stupid that she hadn't thought about it.
"We have to find them." Jesse said, his body turned away from Emma.
"How?" She asked, moving closer to Jesse.
"I don't know. We just have to find them incase they didn't take them off, or they're..." Jesse was saying as a scream echoed past them.
Emma gasped, wrapping her arms around herself.
"Shalimar's hurt Jess.... She's hurt."
