Chapter 11
Kat POV
Every single dead person was trying to be discreet and talk about me behind my back. I could hear them whispering about my killing of one of the Furies. Some believed me to be some sort of deity. Others thought I was an immortal zombie or something. A new rumor was that Fury Alecto would escape from the Underworld and wreak havoc on the world. Yay. I sighed as the whispering had brought a new life to the silence. The line moved forward and so did my time. I looked around as if there was a clock anywhere. I turned to the people behind me and asked if they knew the time. They all looked around as if not wanting to respond.
"Tell me the time or I'll kill you!" I exclaimed. Suddenly, everyone knew what time it was.
"Six-thirty!" someone said.
"No, it's three fifty-nine!" someone else hollered.
"It's actually eleven o' clock!" someone shouted from a few people away. Everyone was screaming and arguing, all believing they knew what time it was. Then everyone abruptly fell silent. I looked and saw they all had their eyes widened and were staring straight head. I gave them a funny look and turned back. Fury Alecto hovered above me.
"Kat…" she hissed.
"Oh, you again," I said.
"Where's the sandwich?"
"I ate it," I announced proudly.
"We thought you were dead!" Six-Thirty yelled.
"No, I was just summoned by Hades for a brief moment. Now go back to your miserable lives!"
"Yes ma'am," Eleven O' Clock said.
She fluttered off to go take care of some more people in line when there was an earthquake-like thing that shook the flooring. I looked down in time to see a huge crack spreading through the floor. It stopped just underneath me and before I had the sense to move, it split open, and I fell through. Someone caught me and I freaked out. I accidentally slapped them, trying to get away.
"Ow!" he said, dropping me into the sewer. Uck.
"Oh. Hi Finn," I said, brushing myself off.
Finn POV
I waded through the disgusting pipe system with grime, rats and other disgusting things swirling in the murky waters. I remember watching this movie Disturbia and the neighbor was a serial killer. The main character, named after a piece of lettuce, Kale, fell through the neighbor's flooring and into this huge pond thing with dead and rotting bodies. Lovely thing to be thinking about at the current time. I picked my way through, avoiding any thoughts about dead bodies. Crap, I just thought about it again. I was wading past a garbage bag when my backpack suddenly felt heavier. I stopped, opened it up and saw a jackhammer in there. I certainly did not own one of those. I looked up and saw red light gleaming through the cracks. I heard voices filtering through. One was raspy and evil, the other a very familiar one. Kat! I knew I didn't have the capabilities to float up there to crack the ceiling. Then, the rats came in a huge wave. They were all pushing up against the wall to get into the section of the sewer that I was in. When they saw me, they squeaked and scurried to me. I tried to run away but these rats were fast. They circled around my leg but didn't bite or climb.
"Human," one of them said.
"Agh!" I shrieked, shaking my leg around vigorously.
"Stop! We are friends of Kat," it said.
"You know Kat?" I asked, stopping my frantic movements.
"Yes."
"Are you one of her fictional characters?"
"No. But we are in the book series Warriors. I speak human as well," it said. I vaguely remembered Firestar's quest to rebuild SkyClan and rats were taking over the place they were intended to inhabit.
"But you're evil."
"Do you want our help or not?" it said exasperated.
"Yes," I said. They surged away from me and attached themselves against the wall. They began stacking on top of each other, forming a huge mountain of writhing rats. Disgusting.
"Climb on," it said, but I didn't know where he was, since his friends looked exactly like him and his voice echoed across the sewer. I put one foot at a time on top of them until I reached the top. I pulled out the jackhammer with all of my strengths and aimed it upward. It whirred to life and drilled into the ceiling. Bits started crumbling down and the rats began to scatter. The drill was stuck in the ceiling as I fell, losing my support. I splashed back in the water, alone. The drill eventually died. I noticed a large crack spreading across the ceiling. That's not good. I followed it to see what was going to happen. Suddenly, the ceiling opened up and someone fell through. I easily caught them and was so proud of myself. Then they tried to get away and slapped me hard. I dropped them and held my hand to my burning face.
"Ow!" I exclaimed.
"Oh. It's just you, Finn," they said. It was Kat.
Me: Finally rescued me. About time! I was still stuck in the Inner Sanctum for like two chapters!
Finn: You're slow with getting to the point.
Me: And this will NOT be the end of Character Academy. More things will come, this is only the first problem in many issues the school will face. The Bracelet is a big part of it.
Finn: I'm hungry.
Me: MEATLOAF!
Finn: MEATLOAF! Yummm.
Me: I don't know why people don't like meatloaf.
Finn: For example, your sister.
Me: -shakes head- No sense…
