Chapter 2
I slept peacefully that night, no guilt tugging at my soul for what had happened to the town hero. Robbie had planned to lead the blonde chubby kid over with some lollipops, I thought the idea wasn't bad, but it wasn't good.
I blinked open my eyes, my slumber being disturbed by small voices and dribbling balls. Giving a growl, I toppled out of the bed in Robbie's guest room and trudged out of the room, blanket still wrapped around my small figure. "Robbie?" I rasped, my voice still asleep. "What is that?" I gave a cough and cleared my throat, hoping to get my voice back to normal. "You're awake!" I turned and saw my brother sitting in an orange armchair.
Robbie gave a soft smile, Alex looked so vulnerable wrapped in that red and black blanket. Almost...cute? He shook his head slightly, unsure of what he had just thought. "The trail has already been placed, that kid will be able to sniff out that candy a mile away!" He stood up and gazed at his sister, "Get dressed! We have to watch this!" He pushed her in the direction of her room.
I came out of my room, dressed in a pair of black basketball shorts, and a softball t-shirt. I watched Robbie gag at the sight of my softball shirt that read about my last tournament. 'Midnight Madness!' Was splayed across the black fabric in white writing. On the back it showed all the teams, still in the bright snow white color. "Lets go." I muttered and gave him a shove toward the ladder. I climbed up the rungs and blinked my eyes several times, the light of the sun slowly blinding me. "Lead the way!" I motioned with my arms and followed my older brother to the scene of the crime.
Diving into the bushes, I peeked behind a few branches, looking straight at the defeated hero. His face had grown quite pale throughout the night, and he was hardly breathing. This was bad. He looked horrid. Robbie had said that nothing happens, he just loses consciousness, yet this looked much worse. I shrunk back into the bushes and glared at Robbie, "This looks worse than fainting!" I sighed as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Relax. We're not going to get caught!" We waited for what felt like hours. Hearing soft footsteps on the grass, we both peeked out of the bushes once more, seeing Ziggy. "Finally." Robbie smirked. We watched Ziggy gather all the lollipops and stop once he caught sight of Sportacus. Without a word the chubby boy stood up and quickly ran to go grab someone.
I could hear Robbie snickering beside me, I couldn't even hold back my smirk. "Perfect." His soft voice hit my ears as I turned to him. "Lets go, before that pink girl comes over here!" He muttered and slowly stalked away, still low to the ground. I cast another glance at the unconscious hero before darting after Robbie. We sulked through the shadows of Lazytown, seeing no kids, knowing they had all rushed to the aid of Sportacus. I had a small smile on my face, but now I felt a small feeling in my chest, but quickly turned it away taking it to heart what Robbie had said about us not being caught.
Time had passed and there was still no sounds from the outside world entering the lair. I sat on the floor, intently reading a book that I couldn't put down. What brought me out of my trance was a small knock on the entrance. I looked to Robbie, but saw him sleeping in his chair. With a sigh a stood up and climbed up the ladder that lead to the shoot. I calmly lifted the lid and saw the three men dressed in blue. I felt my face pale as one reached for me. I couldn't let out a scream, for I have never really screamed before. "You're coming with us." One growled as he placed heavy metal on my wrists. "I'm just a kid!" I shoved him aside with my shoulder, trying to break free.
"There seemed to be an attempt murder with Sportacus and according to the kids before they went to the hospital. You were the LAST one seen with Sportacus." I fell limp at those words. This was Robbie's fault. "Don't take me! I'm thirteen! What about Robbie!" I heard one of the officers sigh. "Why not grab him too?" Two talked it over, while the other still held onto me. I watched as one jumped down the shoot, quickly coming up with my brother. "Robbie." I muttered. "You're an ass! You got me into this!" I glared at him as we were shuffled alongside each other. "I hate you! Mom never should have sent me here!" I looked away from those chocolate brown eyes I had once looked up too.
Robbie felt horrible. His eyes had darkened once he saw the police wake him up. He gulped softly and watched his sister turn away. He had never been taken for just giving Sportacus a sugar apple. That was one of his usual things! He gave a soft sigh. He swore to sort this out...for his sister. He told his father he would look after her, and he would.
I was shoved into a car, Robbie right next to me. "You're a fool...A damn fool Robbie!" I growled at him before looking straight out the window.
(Like I said before...Well that escalated quickly *Winks* This story has taken a serious turn...*Ahem*
Will Robbie be able to free himself and his sister from jail?
Will Sportacus ever regain his energy after being drained for a whole night?
Tune in soon to find out the answers!
Seriously...What is my thing with prison? Geez.
Anyway...Bye!)
