Comet bursted through the door and began running as fast as she could, not caring where she went.. she had to find someone, anyone who would help her... she ran outside and to the living quarters but someone tackled her and taped her bill shut, her screams muffled, "oh comet... your trying to run away...?" A voice said and comet froze and felt something cold and sharp against her neck...
"Oh darling... you know what happens now..." the voice said and began laughing like a psychopath and comet felt the object being removed from her neck, then a sharp pain... and then darkness...
Comets eyes snapped open and she sat up, panting and looked around...
She was still in astrons quarters... she must of fell asleep on the floor as she waited for nightfall..
She shivered as the dream replayed in her mind... she felt her neck with a shaky hand and felt the collar... it was just a dream... she thought as she stood up and looked around, if her dream was true then...
She bolted for astrons room and immediately searched his nightstand and found the ring of keys, she unlocked the collar from her neck, flinging it across the room and the bolted to the door, unlocking that as well, silently thanking the nightmare she had earlier. She ran outside and then stopped, looking around, trying to figure out where to run...
"Where to go, where to go?!" She whispered to herself as her eyes darted across the dark base, panicking, not noticing the figure behind her... "how about, you go take a nap!" The figure said
Comet spun around and before she could even react or anything, she felt something stab her arm and she fell to the ground, unconscious.
"I wonder where comets been... it's not like her to just be gone for this long... maybe she was captured!" Scooter said worried as she nervously tapped her foot, it had been around 3 or so weeks since comet had last been seen and it was bugging her...
"She's probably having trouble getting back since she can't fly. By the way, what duck doesn't know how to fly? Isn't that like, the first thing they learn right after speaking when they're kids from there parents?" Lily asked as took a sip from her cup of coffee as they sat at breakfast. scooter nodded, "it is but, her um... parents... died before they could teach her.."
"Oh.." Lily said as she began to tap her fingers on the table, "where's zenxix? Doesn't he eat breakfast?" Lily mumbled, frowning slightly and scooter shrugged, "I don't know. Comet would probably be scoffing and saying he's eating garbage" scooter said as she chuckled and Lily scowled
"I don't know why she has beef with me, she's an asshole... I wonder how she's still here even..."
"Her parents were very respected around here, her father was also the old leader.."
"Doesn't give her the right to act that way, the bitch..."
"She witnessed her parents deaths... it... it just wasn't pretty... I'm not gonna say anymore... I've already said enough..." scooter said, now poking at her food nervously and sighed
"Hey" zanxix said as he walked to the table the girls were sitting at, sitting down across from them, "hey..." scooter said half heartedly, still poking at her food
"What's gotten into you?" Zanxix asked as he began to cut up his pancakes and scooter shook her head, "it's just... comets never left for this long... I'm worried.."
"Yeah, well, I still don't care. So what if she witnessed her parents death or something? She's a bitch to me so I don't give a damn what happened" Lily snorted as she got up and walked away, waving bye to zanxix, scooters mouth twitched and glared at zanxix, "I swear... how do you put up with her...?"
"I don't... sometimes I want to slap her because of that little attitude she has..." zanxix said with his mouth full and scooter began smirking, "like comet? But you never say you wanna slap HER..."
Zanxix glared at scooter, "don't get the wrong idea, she's the leaders pupil... I wouldn't want to get thrown out or anything..."
"True..."
"But still..."
"Scooter, I respect comet a lot, t-that's all..."
"Then why are you blushing?"
...
"You like comet, don't you zanxix...?" Scooter asked with the most smug look you will ever see in your life
Comet groaned as she began to wake up, slowly opening her eyes, she tried to move her hand to swipe her face for a moment in order to try and wake up a bit more, but couldn't... she was fully wake now, her eyes snapped open and she saw she was in the cage again...
Astron found her...
Without the collar on and outside his quarters...
oh god... is... is he going to kill me?! Is he going to make me starve?! Is-
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a door opening and she looked up to see Astron walking in, looking clearly pissed and his eyes held a dangerous look to them...
"Well, well, well, look who decided to wake up..." he said, his voice cold and hard.. just days before was filled with so much affection and care for her... "Astron... I... i-i..." Comet began but just him looking at her shut her up as she began to shake
Astron kneeled in front of the cage and comet looked away, shaking like a leaf in winter, tears now starting to stream down her face, "comet..." Astron said, comet saw out of the corner of her eye that he was reaching for her and she squeezed her eyes shut, expecting him to slap her, but instead, felt the back of his hand brush her cheek gently
"Comet... you are lucky you behaved well... or else I would have killed you, or severely punished you..." Astron said, his voice now emotionless, as was his eyes, comet kept her eyes closed
"The only punishment ill give you is that you'll need to stay in this cage, extra restraints, and... well... I'm not one for wasting time..." he said, his eyes holding that dangerous glint to them, almost a sadistic look... Comet couldn't move at all so he must have put on more chains or something...
she noticed a hand was behind his back, did he have his hand behind his back the entire time...? she thought, "Astron... what's behind your back..?" She asked and Astron smiled and showed the item which was a knife
"oh comet... you must know what happens when people defy me... now, just hold still..."
