Scarlett and Tanisha change…
"You are so not going to get away with this Williams!" Pim shrilly said banging the Time Pod fiercely.
"That's what Jennifer said?" I muttered to myself.
Keely began to wake up and opened her eyes and could see something above her but it was too blurry. All of a sudden she heard the image in front of her shout out,
"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD"
Keely opened her eyes wide and expression screwed up in horror, she tried to get up but realised she was tied up.
"What's going on? Where am I? Phil! Phil!"
"He ain't here" Keely turned to her side to see Tanisha look away from her back to the computer screen and typing at immense speed, then she looked at Scarlett who was pacing around Pim's pod, Pim was staring at her, emotionless. I untied her legs to be nice and she got up and I saw tears falling from her now pale blue eyes.
I sighed impatiently, "Why are you crying, you're such a drama queen" I bumped into her on purpose and knowing she couldn't balance with her arms tied together she fell down. I laughed evilly looking at Pim standing up continuing to bang on the Pod.
I strode over to Tanisha and pressed a button, another mist of icy air spiralled into the Pod and Pim automatically sat back down, staring yet again into space.
"Please, Francesca stop, I'm freezing, I can't feel my skin anymore" said Pim, struggling to say it louder.
"Francesca?" Keely murmured to herself.
"Nah, don't feel like it"
Ignoring Pim cussing me because I didn't care my attention was just on Keely.
"Silly little girl, thinking it's right to fall in love with a guy who's not from the same century as you but to even fall in love with guy who should be with me, what did you think Phil was always going to be there for you, my Phil likes sophisticated women heavens knows why he's interested in a girl like you, let alone a girl from the uninteresting 21st century" I said with such hate Scarlett almost cursed me in her head.
"You're pathetically jealous that you'd do this to me" Keely shot back trying to get the ropes off her wrists,
"My mom always taught me never to hate people especially in a prejudice way, but you missy are totally coming close to my hate list"
"And I care because…"
"KEELY RUNAWAY SHE'S A MURDERER, DON'T TALK TO HER JUST RUN, I'M TELLING YOU RU-" Pim stopped shouting when I ran to keyboard again and pressed a button and again icy air appeared in her Pod.
"Untie me!"
"No"
"Coward!"
"What!"
"Yeah, you heard me, you're a coward" Keely derided but trembling inside.
"I'm a coward! That's rich"
"You rather have me tied up and helpless than me fully standing, it's obvious you're scared of me" I removed the ropes around her wrist coarsely, Scarlett smiled relieved and looked at the monitor screen of Phil running away from the balls.
-----------------------------------------
He just kept on running losing more breath, you'd watch this in a ridiculous 21st century movie but this would never happen to you!
Why is this happening! How come the balls keep following me!!!
He took out his Wizrd and aimed it at a ball one disappeared but there was still more following him. He yanked it back in his pocket he saw a door turned right and thrown himself into it, the door opened so quickly that he landed onto the floor, rolling continuously over and over into the solid brick wall, until one of the floorboard disappeared and he was holding onto the edge for dear life just like Keely.
Keely, where was Keely?
His fingers were slipping but he knew he had to hold on. The balls where charging at him almost singing in unison with malicious music as it bounced on the floor with different beats. The balls fell into the empty floorboard hitting Phil's hips at the same time, the pain he was feeling made his left hand come off the edge, and he was hanging dangerously into the void beneath him.
------------------------------------------------
"STOP IT, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS"
I stopped typing at the keyboard and walked to Keely in a intimidating manner but she did not flinch or look scared she just looked plain sad.
"You wouldn't-"
"You're right I don't understand, just because you're jealous of my relationship with Phil it doesn't give you-" she complained.
"NO! It's not about jealousy, it's about something else-"
"What!" Keely interrupted.
"You wouldn't-"
"If you say that one more time" Keely retorted, the tense muscles on her shoulders relaxed and she simply said,
"Try me, maybe I do understand"
"You don't understand anything!" I countered.
Keely sighed impatiently and I walked off to the other end of the room picking up a dangerous object, well more like life threatening. Tanisha looked at me from the corner of her eye and quickly pressed a button and starting typing and clicking different sections with the mouse, smiled to herself and turned around in her seat and saw me put something in my bag that made her choke on her own saliva.
---------------------------------------------------------
Phil was screaming in agony, there was like what about a 100 more balls ready to hit his sides so he can fall in, but in a sudden miraculous moment the floorboard came back up into position and he was just there lying with his back on the floor. He quickly rolled to his left and got up to see the balls but they had stop bouncing they were just staying still, he smiled to himself and walked out the door, running up the spiral staircase to be rejoined with his companion.
He arrived at the ancient library.
"They just keep trying to hurt me but it just won't work, yeah!" Phil jumped up punched the air in excitement. He was walking through aisles to find Keely.
"Oh Keely where are you"
Walking through an aisle he tripped over a book. He looked at the cover and saw a smudge of blood on it. Eyes bulging, he threw the book away which came in contact with the ladder and fell down slowly and banged into Phil's thigh he screamed in pain kicking away the ladder with his good leg. He stood up with effort and hopped on his good leg to find Keely because there was something growing in his mind that the blood might belong to her, what if she was…
Phil don't think crazy! She isn't dead!
His thigh was throbbing with pain, everytime he put his weight on his leg, the muscles would ache screaming at him to stop.
Nonetheless, he tried to stand on it but it made him fall down again.
Keely saw what happened on the monitor screens and wishing inside of her head for Phil to find her. Pim's eyes were closed but Keely couldn't tell if she was sleeping, unconscious, or she didn't want to see Phil hurt. I was just eating a sandwich, Scarlett was monitoring Pim and Keely holding her Wizrd while Tanisha was typing away at the computer. When she saw Scarlett was playing a game on her Wizrd and saw me just eating happily, she took out her mobile phone and began to call Phil.
Phil's phone vibrated in his pocket he looked at the screen and saw it was Keely and shouted down at the phone,
"KEELY WHERE ARE YOU!"
"Phil listen to me, hide at the edge of the aisle you're being watched"
"What?"
"Just do it!" Keely whispered sharply.
He hopped to the edge of the aisle and sat with his legs stretching out.
"What's going on!"
"I'm trapped in some kind of Pod, just listen come to the 25th floor that's where Pim and I are"
"Pim's there, yes she's ok"
"Quick, Phil, Tiffany she's behind everything, come quick I'm scared, OH MY GOD!" The line went dead.
"KEELY, KEELY ANSWER ME" Phil stuffed his phone in his pocket and ran into the lift punching the 25th button. As the lift ascended, Phil was ready.
---------------------------------------
Pim slumped off her seat unconscious, so cold, she was so cold. Keely's blood ran cold when she found a gun pointed at her direction she knew the bullet will zoom through the Pod into her.
Scarlett dropped her Wizrd in shock thinking where I got that from, she stood to a spot, she wanted to scream but thought maybe it will encourage me to pull the trigger.
"FRAN PUT THAT DOWN!" Scarlett shouted coming close, she stopped instantly as the gun was now pointed at her.
"Don't move"
Once Tanisha heard Scarlett shout she saw me holding the gun, she wasn't stupid she knew she saw it, she got up slowly and shouted out,
"ARE YOU DUMB, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM"
"EVERYONE HERE IS GOING TO SHUT UP RIGHT NOW"
Everyone was quiet, Keely cried in her hands, Scarlett looked at the lift and Tanisha stared at the gun, Pim unconscious, oblivious to the situation. Scarlett pressed a button on her Wizrd and was hiding it behind her back, she nodded at Tanisha, she nodded back, they were ready. I waited for someone to react.
A/N: I know, guns, Time Pods, crazy 22nd century girl holding a 21st century gun sounds cool in my head or maybe I just overstepped the mark again, read on and see who survives and who dies… well if anyone does die…
