Chapter 9
Amy looked around in the car for her chimera. "Kira?" she called, looking through all the assorted animals around her. "Over here." a canine voice came.
"Thought I lost you in this mess of animals. So, what's up?"
The Kira lifted her head from to the bar front of a wooden travel carrier she was in. "I hear gunshots...and screams." she said, whimpering slightly afterwards. Amy's eyes widened as her cheerful attitude fell. "I'll be back."

Back in Selene's car, everybody had resumed their sitting position, doing everything the men told them to avoid being killed. "Alright, we want all of the young women to come with us. Now!" A man ordered, cocking his gun at the end of his sentence. There were a few gasps and shudders among the women, but they all complied, including Selene.
The brute men emptied out one of the cars and sat all of the women they gathered from each cart down in seats of two. Selene had taken time, when the two men's backs were turned, to draw a couple transmutation circles in the side of the seat, ready to use.
Next another man entered the car. He looked even more ruthless and stronger than the other two. He made a signal and his henchmen went over to the car entrances, guarding for entries and exits.
"Alright ladies..." the voice started. "We're on a hunt. Once we find who we're looking for the rest of you can go." He spoke calmly until he pulled out a gun from his jacket. "The two called Amy Brooks and Selene Snyder, step forward now!" the man shouted, firing a shot toward the ceiling. A few girls screamed and shuddered, Selene staying quiet from shock.

Kira watched Amy leave, whimpering for her safety. The other animals were starting to stir. She put her head to the bar and slithered in-between two of the bars, the chimera's body stretching enough to go through the metal. The other animals became afraid of this and moved out of her way at she ran out of the car.

Amy heard a shot from the next car over. "Selene!" she yelled, running towards the car door and hastily sliding it open. A tall buff dude blocked her entrance; he glared down at her, gun at hand.
"Amy get out of here!" Selene yelled, but the leader cut her off. "Grab her."
Before Amy could move, the man grabbed her wrist, yanking her into the room. "Alright, I have one. Now come forward Selene!" he ordered, insanely smirking around the room. Selene didn't move, just glared angrily. "No? Come forward; or your friend dies." The man was grave in his words and he made another signal, the brute holding Amy putting a gun to her head.
Amy gulped. Her head now hurt; she couldn't take having a gun to her head while being touched by a guy, all at once. "Umm, S-Selene? I think you should do what h-he says!" Amy stuttered, standing limply with the cold metal touching her skull.
Before anyone could do anything, Kira came from behind and bit the man's arm that was holding Amy's wrist. Her teeth immediately broke through the skin and blood spewed out, the man yelling in pain while firing his loaded shot some other direction than Amy's head.
Oddly, the bullet fired went across the room and into the other henchmen's shoulder, causing him to collapse to the floor in pain, dropping the gun he was about to fire. Kira held her grip tight on the man until Amy was free to escape.
Selene saw this as the perfect distraction. She activated one of the transmutation circles she had drawn, the carpet on the floor tying the leaders' leg's together and making him fall over. "Amy, run!" she shouted. stepping over the leader on the floor. The two girls began to move out, everybody else staying where they were. The leader made a grab for Selene's foot, but missed. "Get them!" he ordered, trying now to get the pathetic knot untied from his legs.
The henchmen that could still move, but with a wounded arm, grabbed Selene as she passed. Amy doubled back to help her friend, kicking the man hard between the legs. "Come on!" The two girls made a dash out of the car, Kira following.
They ran through a couple cars, shutting and locking the doors behind them. Selene sat down to rest for a moment, glancing out of the window. She saw a few black spots on the horizon...more closely she could tell it the was the first stop, Rush Valley. "Hey, Amy! We're almost there!" she said with relief. Amy grinned in-between pants, when a gunshot flew through the room, making the two duck to the floor.
The leader of the armed gang broke the lock and entered the room, stepping in slowly with gun raised in the air. "I've been ordered to take you in for questioning, and that's what I'm going to do." he said madly. Kira had acted while he wasted time talking; biting the man's leg while again, they ran for it. The leader hit the chimera on the head with the gun butt, making her whimper while letting go.
Amy And Selene came to the middle of the train now...the place there the cars are attached to another group of cars. "The roof, up there!" Amy pointed, jumping unto the ladder and climbing up. "No Amy! It's too dangerous!" the girl protested.
"Please. Ed did this when he was like, 12. We're 14 and 15. I think we could manage." she said, climbing the rest of the way up and clinging to the roof top for dear life. 'It's harder than it looks...' she thought. Selene quickly followed, both now having problems keeping balance with the high speeds blowing against them.
Lucky for them, the leader didn't bother looking on the roof when he passed, the two girls staying up there for the rest of the way. The train boarded minutes later, the mysterious kidnapping men, not being found anywhere on the train.
"Looks like we're at large… I'll take a cab from here. You go find Edward. Write me, tell me if you find Brandon or hear anything." Amy said, handing her a piece of folded paper and then giving her friend a departing hug. "Wait, Amy. What do I do for Ed? I mean, do I stick to the regular story plot or can I change it up?"
Amy blinked…good question. "You really don't know who this story ends do you?" she asked, shaking her head. Selene shook hers too. "Good. It's better for you not to know. Do whatever you want and this ending won't be promising. The perfect happy ending only happen in fairy tales…and this, my friend, is no fairytale."
She let the words sink into her head before the two waved as Amy walked off, Selene then setting off for her mission: Find Ed.

Brandon in this time since the earlier night, had found a rack of motorcycles. Good for him, he found one with keys still in the ignition. He shook his head of how stupid bikers could be sometimes, and stole the wheels, heading off towards the south.

Amy arrived back at the Devils Nest address by the next hour, Kira following close at her feet. Once entrance, the scene was the usual. Greed smoking something, Kimblee sitting lain all over the couch; Martel sharpening some weapon and Law and Dorochet occupying one another in a game of chess…or what Amy thought was chess. Nobody seemed to question or even notice her appearance, until Greed asked a question as she tried to go to her room.
"Where'd you get the money for the trip? I just saw you pull up in a cab, they ain't cheap."
Amy froze, then smirked, turning her head to Kimblee, then Greed. "I took some of the riches from the safe, sorry about that. It was easy to pick the lock with that kit laying around in Kimblee's room…" she commented, then walked off down the hall.
