Wow, these chapters are flying by! Now I'm glad I paid attention in computer class and English! Unlike some of my classmates, I actually pay attention…most of the time…okay, I don't pay attention, happy?
Chapter Four: Kidnapped and Held Hostage…Or Were They?
Eventually, the group of five reached the giant anthill. "There's no entrance," Lily said
flatly. "Lily, have you ever seen an anthill?" Wilbur asked. "You go through the top!" Lily was
dumbfounded for what seemed like the fifth time that day. "But how do we get up there?" Sierra
wondered. "That is an excellent question," Kilbur said. "That's my motto! I say it! You, back off!"
Wilbur said. Kilbur prepped a karate move. "Or you can use it, too!" Lewis piped. "What?" Wilbur
asked. "Hey, you saw how she took out those ants!" Lewis warned. Wilbur nodded.
Kilbur just said, "Watch." She pressed a button on her wristwatch. Jets popped out of the
bottom of her converse high-tops and she was lifted into the air. "I modified yours too, in my spare
time!" she called down to everyone else. So everyone else pressed the button on their
wristwatches, and they all hovered into the air. "I noticed that button the other day, and now I
know what it's for!" Wilbur remarked. "Me too!" Lewis called.
They all flew up to the top of the anthill and flew in. They landed on a metal surface.
There were no lights. It was really dark. Nobody could see a thing. "That's it?" Sierra asked.
"That's all the giant anthill is?" Kilbur was feeling against the wall. "No, I feel something. It's a
switch!" she said. Wilbur and Lewis happened to land right by her. I don't know why, maybe they
wanted to be backup just in case another ant attacked so they didn't have to do any work and
Kilbur would karate-chop it in half…so they thought, anyway.
"Hey, what happens when I pull it?" Wilbur asked. "Wilbur, I don't think that's a good
idea!" Lewis yelled. But it was too late. Wilbur pulled the switch, and the metal surface dissolved
beneath them. They began falling down an extremely long rocky tube. They all screamed and,
after what seemed like centuries, they landed in a heap. "That, Wilbur," Lewis mumbled, "that is
what happens when you pull the switch."
"Whatever. Let's just find the throne room. This looks nothing like the Hive last time,"
Wilbur said. That was for sure! They were in a large, dimly lit room, and in the room were at least
a dozen hallways to choose from. "Before we go somewhere, I have a feeling something bad will
happen. Everyone put these earpieces on. They have tracking devices," Kilbur noted and handed
everyone earpieces.
"So which way do we go?" Sierra asked. "Eeny, meeny, miny…" Wilbur began pointing at
hallways…"Mo. Okay, this one!" Wilbur finished. Lewis and Kilbur looked at each other and
shrugged. They followed Wilbur. As they walked through the hallway, unlit holes were in each
wall. "Our best bet is to just keep moving forward…literally…" Lewis said. So they did.
As they walked, Kilbur said, "It's just not like Queen Lizzy to stay hidden for so long. We
may be in a trap." Suddenly, the ground slightly shifted beneath Sierra's feet. "Huh? What was—"
she began to say something, but then a rope lassoed around her waist and pulled her into an unlit
hole. "Where did Sierra—" Lily began to say something, too, put then another rope pulled her into
an unlit hole. "Wilbur, where did Sierra and Lily go?" Kilbur asked. "I don't know but—ah!" A rope
lassoed around Wilbur's waist, as well as Kilbur's. "Ah! Lewis, help!" Kilbur screamed. "Lewis,
help!" Wilbur yelled. "AHHH!!!" Kilbur and Wilbur both screamed. Lewis whirled around to see
Wilbur and Kilbur disappear into unlit holes. "Wilbur! Kilbur! Sierra! Lily!" Lewis began yelling.
Suddenly, an eerily familiar voice echoed, "Lewis…we have your son and friends…by the
time you find them, they will be DEAD…good luck, because soon, you will be too!" Lewis's eyes
widened. Suddenly, a metal door slammed down, blocking Lewis between two walls. He looked
forward, and there was the door to the Ant Queens' Chamber. "Well, what do you know! Wilbur
picked the right tunnel!" Lewis said and opened the door.
BAD IDEA.
Oh come on, do you really think with as addicted with MTR as I am, do you really think I'd actually kill Wilbur…or me…or my friends? Hahaha, you're real funny.
