Chapter 27; Knowledge is Key
Okay, okay, sorry :( I'm having a hard time getting the rest of this story put together. Two other stories regarding Alex keep pushing this one from my brain...but I need to finish this one before I can publish the other two because then y'all wouldn't be too confused about what's going one.
So, if it seems like it was too long for this chapter, I'm sorry, but it's hard. I'm also trying to finish some English summer work, Scarlet Letter work -_- and I am having a hard time getting into it because it makes me want to punch someone in the face.
Anyhow, let's get this chapter done.
Luna WhiteWolf: Thanks for your continued support, I believe you were the only one to review this chapter! So thanks! and I love writing Claw and Luna, they're so much fun! haha
Saffyre's POV
Have I mentioned how much I hate cages? No, well, now you know. I abosolutely hate cages. Like the one they had stuck us in.
When I woke up again, I felt sick. Like I just ate a ton of candy and got a stomach ache. The headache was blissfully gone though, and so were the spots.
I was sitting with the twins at the moment, planning our escape. The other four were still out, which worried us even more. Apollo was glaring at a crack in the wall and Artemis was looking towards where the stairs were. The only light we had was a ball of ectoplasm that I'd conjoured up.
"What are they waiting for?" Artemis mumbled, looking concerned. "I dunno," I mumbled back, glaring at the stairs.
I heard the sound claws scrapping tile and a couple screams. I shot to my feet and bumped my head again. "Dammit," I cursed and rubbed the sore spot. The twins stood up as well, bending over at an awkward angle due to their height as well.
There was another snarl, a scream, and then soft footsteps on the stairs. I quickly distingushed the light and waited silently.
A soft yellow flow descended with a wolf I slightly regonized as Luna. She had blood dripping down one of her flanks, but she looked self-satisfied.
I noticed the others had started to get up as well, watching Luna with weariness. Eclipse looked ready to pass out again, and Emerald had blood dripping down from a cut above her right eye.
Luna set down the shinning laturn and faced the locked door. With a powerful snap of her jaws, the lock fell around her paws in pieces. I rushed to the door and stepped out, standing at full height.
"Thanks!" I hugged Luna and felt one paw on my back in her way of a hug. "Your welcome. All the goons have escaped outside, and I'm ready for a fight, how 'bout you?" I nodded and helped the others out. "Are y'all okay?" I asked them, watching Eclipse sway on her feet for a minute. Eclipse nodded and staggered forward a bit.
Luna held her up and looked at me in concern. "Here, take this," I pulled out a small, blue pill. "What's this?"
"Alieve."
"Oh," she tipped it into her mouth and swallowed with a small shiver. "Thanks," she quit swaying and looked more balanced.
"Guys, fight?" Artemis reminded everyone, guestering up the steps. Everyone nodded and moved in a single file up the steps and out the doors.
Alex's POV
After I had freed Luna, David led me to the big mansion that Death had taken up. The place looked deserted, and that seemed to make David confused. "Where is everybody?"
"I dunno," this just made it easier for me to get to our father and finish him off. "Whatever, just get in and finish this, I'm going back." I nodded and hugged my brother before he flew off in the other direction.
Here we go Dad, I sighed and flew down, through the door and came face to face with the man I most despised.
Sorry if it is short, I just don't have anymore of an idea for this chapter, the fighting will happen next chapter, more than likely. I think the last chapter will be Chapter 30, just to break even so...I've already written it too, so the ending is already here, I just need the rest of it
