Chapter 27: Running Out of Time!
Allyson and Danny found themselves in the bedroom at the old orphanage Allyson once lived in. Sarah, Ms. Kutch, and the rest of the orphans were staring at them in shock.
"Uh, hi guys1 I see you didn't go to the memorial," Allyson said smiling. They said nothing.
"You know these guys?" Danny asked. "Yep! Danny, this is the entire orphanage, entire orphanage, I'm sure you all know about Danny," Allyson said. For some reason, she couldn't help but grin.
"How are you so lucky? YOU'RE A FREAK!" Sarah cried in awe. "What did you just call her?" Danny asked.
"Uh…." Sarah stuttered. "Listen kid, I don't want anyone insulting my friend, YOU GOT THAT?!" Danny asked.
"Y-y-yes sir," Sarah said shaking. "Good, now if you'll excuse us, I've gotta save you all from being ruled over by a crazed up fruit loop," Danny said picking Allyson up and flying through the door.
Everyone just stared when finally, a small kid jumped up and screamed: "THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED! HE'S SO COOL!"
Danny flew off towards Fenton Works as fast as he possibly could, gripping Allyson and the Infi-map tightly. When they got to the lab, it was empty.
"Where'd they go?!" Danny asked starting to get extremely worried. "Maybe they're safe," Allyson said, but even she didn't believe herself.
"What're we gonna do? I can't let Vlad hurt them," Danny said starting to get teary eyed. "Don't worry Danny, we'll find them," Allyson said.
"I don't think we'll be able to find them in time, it's 11:56…11:56! Oh man! We've gotta find them quick!" Danny cried.
"Maybe the memorial!" Allyson said. "Where is it?" Danny asked. "I don't know! I do remember I read somewhere it was gonna be at somewhere called Axion Lab," Allyson said.
Without saying anything, Danny flew fast as lightning out of the lab. "DANNY! SLOW DOWN!" Allyson cried.
"I CAN'T! I WON'T LET VLAD HURT MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS!" Danny cried.
They were going so fast, Allyson felt like she was slipping out of Danny's grasp. She squeezed Danny's arm tightly to prevent her slipping anymore.
As the wind blew in her face, Allyson felt tears build up in her eyes. She could barely see anything but streaks of color as Danny speed up. The most that was visible was the Infi-map and Danny himself.
As her hair blew out of her face, she wiped her tears on her arm and screamed: "DANNY! PLEASE SLOW DOWN! PLEASE!"
"I CAN'T!" Danny screamed. "YES YOU CAN!" Allyson screamed. "NO I CAN'T! " Danny cried.
"DANNY!" Allyson cried. Danny speed past a clock, it was 11:57. "ALLYSON! I'M SORRY! BUT I CAN'T STOP! I HAVE TO SAVE EVERYONE!" Danny cried.
"CAN YOU AT LEAST HOLD TIGHTER?!" Allyson cried. Danny pulled Allyson closer to him and sped up.
As soon as Allyson thought for sure she would slip out of Danny's arms, they both hit the ground hard.
"What happened?" Allyson asked wiping her eyes. Danny was sprawled out on the ground, completely unconscious.
"Danny?" Allyson asked nudging Danny's arm. Danny didn't move. Allyson gulped and nudged harder. "Danny?!" she said a little louder.
Still nothing. "DANNY! WAKE UP!" Allyson cried pushing Danny as hard as should. Danny's eyes snapped open.
"Wh-what happened?" he asked wearily. "I don't know, you just stopped flying and hit your head I think," Allyson said.
Danny looked around. "Where are we?" he asked. "I don't know," Allyson said. Danny squinted at a dim light far away and said: "I think that's Axion, come on!"
He scooped Allyson up and Allyson said: "Danny wait!" "Allyson! We don't have time to wait! We have to go!" Danny said.
"Danny! Stop! I'm scared!" Allyson said. "Of what?" Danny asked. "Of getting killed," Allyson said as a tear rolled down her check.
Danny wiped the tear away and said: "Don't worry, I wont let anything happen to you." "Then just leave me here! I'll go home! I think I know the way!" Allyson said.
"NO! Ally, if you leave you'll get hurt!" Danny said. "If I stay I'll get hurt, you fly way too fast!" Allyson said.
"I promise I wont drop you, c'mon Ally, we've got to go!" Danny said. "Danny…" Allyson didn't even finish, she just threw herself into Danny and started crying.
Danny hugged her and said: "I won't drop you, I promise!" Allyson hugged Danny back and Danny flew off at lightning speed.
He was gripping Allyson so tight, it would have been impossible for her to be dropped. Allyson was still terrified but she knew deep down that Danny wouldn't let anything happen to her.
