Chapter 4: A Stray Child

Number 5 had been walking aimlessly for awhile with her hands out in front of her and eyes narrowed. There was a heavy fog around her which also made it hard to breath. She had already tried calling out for her other teammates but no luck.

"Man oh, man #5 has got to get out of, OOF...uhh...this?" #5, while talking, ran into a tall solid wall.

She ran her fingers along the edges and assumed it was thin. She narrowed her eyes more and saw a blurry figure in front of her. She reached out to see if that figure was real but ended up putting a hand on the solid object.

There was a strong breeze and the fog lifted. When #5 could clearly see now she saw that she ran into a mirror. She dusted herself off and checked her reflection. A few scratches here and there but she didn't mind.

A figure slowly snuck up behind her holding a metal rod. The figure swung but #5 was already aware of her attacker because of the reflection. She flipped over the enemy causing the figure to smash the mirror. She back flipped over more, to put some distance between her and the enemy. The enemy turned around and pulled off her mask.

"Little Abby."

"Cree," #5 shouted. "What in the world do you think your doing?"

Cree tossed the rod aside and looked over to Abby.

"You can say it's like a part time job."

She leapt at #5 and they began to fight. They both blocked each other's moves on the count of they both had the same fighting style. Cree then unleashed some powerful kicks knocking Abby a few feet away. #5 got up and rubbed the sweat off her face.

"Learnin' some new moves sis?"

Cree smirked and shrugged her shoulders.

"Or maybe you're just slipping at your own game Abigail!"

She ran at #5 and close-lined her. Abby laid on the floor winded, her eyes watering up. Cree sat on her, grabbed the collar of her shirt, lifted her up and punched her back down and repeated to do so 6 more times. Cree let go of Abby's shirt and sighed to herself.

"Man, this is almost too easy."

She pulled out a sword from a clip on the back of her armor. Abby moaned and turned her head to the side and saw the metal rod and grasped it in her hand.

"Say goodbye little Abby," Cree lifted her sword but flinched.

"#5's time is not over yet!"

Abby sat up and with all her might swung the rod hitting Cree on the side of her head.

Cree dropped the sword and staggered to her feet. She gently touched the side of her skull, which was cracked, and looked at her trembling hand, covered in blood. She closed her eyes and fell backwards, dead. #5 was silent. Abby began to tremble.

"What have I done?"

She collapsed to the ground on her hands and knees and cried silently. The ground began to tremble and out popped 6 mirrors surrounding #5 and her sister. The ground below them even became one big mirror. Cree's body vanished so #5 stood up still clutching the metal rod. Five familiar laughs came from the mirrors. One by one, the Delightful Children from Down the Lane appeared, one in each of the mirrors.

"Abigail dear, you have surpassed Fathers apprentice," they said in monotone.

A blast of fire and Father appeared in the 6th mirror.

"Congrats."

He pointed a finger at #5 and shot a beam. It contacted with #5 merging with her body. The light took form and assembled into Cree's armor, that now Abby wore. She shook her head in denial.

"Now your apart of us Abigail," they all chuckled in unison.

"No..." Abby whispered.

She clutched the metal rod and lifted her head.

"NOOOOOOO!"

She began blindly swinging at the mirrors, shattering them into pieces. The laughter of the Delightfuls and their Father still echoed in the air even when she broke the mirrors. She fell again to her knee's and saw her reflection in the giant mirror she stood on. She did look a lot like Cree in her armor.

She shuddered with this and grasped the rod with both hands.

"I'm sorry, Cree."

She slammed the rod down, breaking the mirror below her and fell. Fell into darkness with pieces of shimmering glass around her.

A/N: After this chapter I think I made my mind up and chose #5 to pair up with #2 (grabs helmet and shield) 'Bring it on, nya!' Heehee, just kidding. But to all you 1/5 fans I promise that when I make fanfics in the future I'll pair #5 with #1. I guess I'll go back in forth with this love triangle. I think both #1 and 2 are good with #5...it all depends if Mr. Waburton (I think I spelled his name wrong, sorry if I did) decides to pair her up with anyone. I'm having a bit o trouble writing Hoagies chapter so sit tight and I'll update a.s.a.p. Thank you all! muah!
