Chapter 6
Erin
The scene opened up showing Tai, Marcus, Drail walking through the destroyed city.
"Everyone just kind of dispersed in different directions. I'm so confused. Everything happened so fast.." Tai said as Drail flew up on his right shoulder.
"At least the storm stopped, but it's night now.." Marcus informed as he looked up at the sky.
Tai growled a little and stopped.
"Dammit, we're just gonna have to rest without them. We'll search tomorrow for Noah, Mariah and Rao." Tai said as he looked around for a place to sleep.
"It would be safer to sleep on high ground. That building ahead looks stable. How about Drail takes us up there to sleep." Marcus said.
"Hey I can do that! Good idea!" Drail said cheerfully.
The scene switched to Mariah in the cell The Authority placed her in.
"Why does it have to be me? I always end up the helpless one!" Mariah yelled out in anger.
She stood up and got in a stance like she was about to do an attack.
"There's no use." A voice in the corner spoke out and said.
Mariah jumped away, scared. She had no idea there was somebody in the cell with her.
"Hey! Hey! Who's there! Show yourself!" Mariah said while moving her arms around foolishly like a ninja.
A girl about the same age as Mariah walked out from the corner, her clothes were beat and pretty torn, she had long brown hair and a small mole under her right eye.
"Sorry to startle you. I'm Erin.." The girl said with an innocent voice.
"Oh.. Heh. It's okay. I overreacted." Mariah said with a small smile.
Shuga walked by and punched the cell bar.
"Shut up! You talk to much!" He said with a very angered look. He looked to the side and saw Erin.
"Did I tell you to leave the corner?! You shouldn't be talking to anyone!" He continued, gripping onto the cell bar with a very tight grip.
Erin backed away into the corner and sat.
"Hey! There is no need to be mean!" Mariah yelled out, an angered expression on her face.
"What did you say?!" Shuga yelled as he ripped the cell open and grabbed Mariah by the neck.
"Do you want to fucking die?! I'll pop your head off so easily! You don't even know!" He continued to yell.
His grip around her neck tightened as he began to grow more angry.
"No! You'll get punished for taking back to me!" Shuga yelled out before swinging around throwing Mariah into the wall leaving a few cracks. "You'll get all of what you deserve!" He continued as he grabbed her by the hair and began to drag her out of the cell. He slammed the cell door and dragged her into a back room that seemed to be like a butcher room.
After the door slammed all you could hear was screaming. It was a horrifying and terrible scream.
A day had passed as the sun came up.
"Wake up. We need to go." Tai said as he tapped onto Marcus' shoulder.
Marcus stood up and rubbed his eyes before nodding. They both grabbed there stuff and darted off of the building and ran through the streets.
Back at The Authorities hideout.
"Mariah.. Are you okay..?" Erin asked softly to Mariah as she sat against the wall looking down.
She had cuts all over her, terrible cuts. Blood was still flowing down her face and arms.
"He tends to do that.. When he loses his temper." Erin continued. Trying to comfort her.
Shuga walked up to the cell and threw plates on the ground.
"Breakfast!" He yelled.
He took a quick glimpse at Erin sitting next to Mariah and began to grow angered.
"You do not fucking listen do you?!" Shuga yelled. He slammed the door open and grabbed them both by the hair. He began dragging them out into the main hall, this time going to a different torture room for two people.
"You're gonna fucking learn how to behave!" Shuga yelled again as he passed the captain and Lumi.
In a bang Rao was thrown through the brick wall and into Shuga. Through the hole in the wall was Noah with an angered and dark look on his face.
"I'm going to kill.. Every. Single. ONE OF YOU!" He yelled out as the scene darkened.
