Hello, I am so sorry about getting this up so late. I am not much of a computer person, and they personally don't like me too much. I am pretty terrible at anything computer "geekish"...no offence to anybody who is. This chapter is kinda short but I still like it. Enjoy!

Lithium Ride – Noodles in a Washing Machine

I opened my eyes to see grey surrounding me; keeping my panic in check as I leaned forward slightly and touched the grey. They were soft, warm feathers. I knew I was safe and fell back asleep. Strong arms wrapped around my shoulders and gave a gentle squeeze. My eyes opened to slits and I felt the arms around me. It felt wonderful to be held. Then the muscular arms made their way to my waist. I snuggled deeper into into something that gave a small, low chuckle. Wait a second, my brain cleared a little. "Iggy? What are you doing?" I whispered into his ear. I felt my heart speed up as he pulled me closer to him. All I got out of him was a contented: "Hmmm..." out of him. I squirmed away slightly and turned to face him. He looked at me with those beautiful, blue unseeing eyes. Wait, did I actually just think that? Wow, my amazing stupidity and "poeticness" amazes even me sometimes. I leaned forward and put my head on his shoulder, wrapping my arms around his torso, feeling every muscle tense under my touch. I smiled to myself. He gently puts his hands on my waist, doing his best to avoid the stitches; he pulled me closer to him. I give in, against my better judgement. To my dismay a door creaks; and Iggy and I jump apart. Buckler, a white coat came in, scanning each cage with one watchful eye. (The other I had ripped right out of it's socket. {Gleefully I might add} It was a rather gross experience though.) Me and Ig glanced at each other and pretended to sleep. When he stopped in front of ours his eye filled with anger. He glared at us; but to his annoyance we ignored him. The whole scenario would have been pretty hilarious; if he hadn't stormed back in with 7 erasers. Joy. I sighed appropriately as they came to our cage.

Two erasers came and picked our kennel up gruffly, apparently oblivious to our grimaces. Iggy and I got tossed around our cages like noodles in a washing machine. Our limbs and wings got tangled up. I saw Iggy blushing a bit and was surprised to see the same response, to my horror, on my face. At least he couldn't see it I reasoned with myself. We were carried into one of the many white, windowless hallways. This one led to some steel doors. Seriously heavy duty stuff. Overkill maybe? Yeah. They set us on a table and opened the doors. One of the erasers was just so considerate it decided to help us out by tipping our cage forward; we flopped right into the mud like pancakes into syrup. After untangling myself from Ig I looked around at my surroundings. It was a large yard about one hundred feet by four hundred feet. Electrical nets were placed all around and above the arena. I wondered what kind of sick plans that they had for us today. I always am the optimistic one. I laughed lightly at myself and once again got weird looks from the erasers. I decided it was time for me to shut up.

After what had seemed like hours of flying, swooping, dodging and fighting. We both collapsed, exhausted on the muddy ground. The erasers, being their helpful annoying selves chucked us back into our cage. They carried us through the stupid metal door again and down the slick, sick smelling hallway; but instead of putting us back into our normal prison they stuck us in a really cold isolation room. It wasn't just "cold", I mean...it was really flippin' cold.

Iggy POV – Alright, so what are those creepers planning? They stick us in a REALLY cold room, tell us to keep warm and then leave us, with the door sealed. This is definitely not what I had in mind for my Christmas vacation. I sighed and rubbed my arms slowly trying to get some blood back into them. I felt myself starting to feel almost sleepy, except that I knew that I probably wouldn't wake up if I did go to sleep, but it felt so welcoming. I laid down and felt nothing more.

MUHAHAHAHHAHAA! ...okay then. Enjoy the rest of the week-end guys! :) During this chapter I kinda got hungry...*growl*...Time to find some pancakes or some spaghetti. Decisions, decisions.
