Warning: We only have two or three chapters left L

I know already Ill have an Epilogue, ( and yeah I count that as a chapter,)

Anyway….

Disclaimer: I own plot, and nothing else (but the babies!)

The black dissolved slowly, restoring my vison.

My sense came back just as slowly. I felt…cold…was I sitting….or laying…on…on metal?

I found I could move my eyelids again, and they fluttered. My senses slowly eased back in, trudging down my body till I could wiggle my toes.

The black evacuated my vison totally, now, and I could see and hear clearly now.

I tried to sit up, but I was quickly pulled back. I gasped.

I was strapped down. my body pined to the cold, hard table. I couldn't even lift my head to glance around. All I could see was the blank, white ceiling.

And I realized those "police men" weren't police men.

And I realized they'd knocked me out and brought me here.

And I realized the Edison Group had caught us.

My heart beat sped up tremendously as I heard talking right outside of the room. The voices came closer, and I could hear the click of high heels on the hard floor. I quickly closed my eyes and steadied my breathing, and prayed I looked unconcious.

"Put it in the far room." A stiff, female voice ordered. Her voice was rough, like it was used to being obeyed.

"Which one?" A deep, male voice asked, his voice quavering. I could tell he was a little scared by the woman.

"The farthest one," she said. "That there," Her voice lowered. "Is a necromancer. We don't want these guys to come back. Got it?"

"Yes." Was all he replied. I heard a heaving noise, then heavy footsteps set off through the room and out the other end. The door slapped behind him.

There was something I wanted to keep in mind if I wanted to escape: There were two exits. One happened to be storing…dead bodies. I could use that to my advantage easily.

Yeah, but how are you going to get off of this table?

The woman came closer inside the room, and I could almost feel her approaching me. I calmed myself, desperate to not look suspicious.

I could also feel her loom over me. It was relatively hard to keep my face relaxed.

"Funny," She murmured to herself. She walked around the table, and the sound of her heels flooded my head.

She suddenly stopped, right behind me, and leaned in to whisper in my ear.

"You should be awake by now." She whispered, sending chills down my spine.

I could hear a clash of metal, and realized she was going to kill me. Right here. Right now.

I knew I'd have to summon up all of my power to be able to do this, and I knew I'd probably be exhausted after, but I did it anyhow.

I squeezed my eyes tight, and the woman laughed.

"You're a bad liar." She said pitifully. I squeezed my eyes even tighter as I felt a sharp point being drawn close to my neck, a needle-point. I sighed and breathed heavily as it grazed the side of my neck. And then I went crazy and struggled against her to buy me some time.

I shook my head widely, and the needle flew from my skin onto the floor.

I fumbled to undo the straps, but it was hopeless. She bounded back up with the fallen shot. And then I couldn't help myself.

I screamed.

The door to the hall way slammed open, and I saw the woman's terrified expression as she saw who emerged.

I gasped, trying to pull air into my lungs. "Kill her!" I ordered the zombie.

The zombie moved a lot quicker than they had before.

He flung himself at the woman, and she screamed and tried to shake him off, but he had a death grip on her. (No pun intended.)

I heard a sharp stabbing sound, and squeezed my eyes tight. When I opened them again, about five zombies stood before me, waiting for my next order, the lady lying broken and bloody on the floor. I quickly looked away.

"Undo the straps, please." I said in a quiet, shaky voice.

They did, and as soon as I was free, I sat up and quietly tip toed to the door to the hallway the zombies had come from. I heard footsteps coming from behind the other door across the room, so in a panic I ducked into the hallway.

Almost instantly, a hand slid over my mouth. I screamed into it, and got ready to jab whoever it was in the gut, but then her lips came to my ear:

"Shhh. Chloe, it's Adele."

I looked at her, a worried expression on her face. I took a deep sigh of relief and after studying her eyes, decided to trust she was really on our side.

"Follow me, but stay quiet." She whispered, glancing around the hall full of doors like she knew this place by heart.

I nodded, and she started to tip toe, staying crouched, low to the ground. I tried to mimic the way she could sneak around like that and remain silent.

We crept along the wall for about five minutes until we came to the end which was blocked by a sort of gate.

Adele quickly staggered back, and reflex I did so too. I was ready to run from whatever she had seen, or whoever she had seen, but she didn't run.

"Adele." A gruff voice said, full of emotion. I peeked over her to see a burly man with dark hair and stunning colored eyes.

I tugged on her shirt. "Run!" I whispered quickly, but she didn't budge. She just stared at the guard intensely.

"Nick, can you let us though?" She asked, her tone relatively calm. I looked quickly between the two. I caught something in…Nick's… eyes then set me back a bit.

The way he looked at Adele reminded me a lot of the way Derek looked at me.

He hesitated, and Adele looked back to where we had come from. Nick swallowed. After another minute of nothing, I turned to him. "Please." I begged. He studied me, then Adele. Then turned around and punched in a code into a tiny box in the upper right corner of the fence. It effortlessly slid open.

"Adele…" He said again, gazing at her. Adele looked at him with sad eyes.

"I hoped you'd made it out. Guess I was wrong." She said, and looked away. Nick looked pained.

"Come on, Chloe." She whispered. Nick reluctantly slid to the side, and let us pass through. I took a peek up at him and my heart stopped. He had those striking greenish eyes.

The fence slammed shut again and I could hear distant footsteps from behind the fence. Adele took my hand and we ran.

"Who…Who was that?" I panted as we made a sharp turn into an even narrower hallway, with about six or five doors. We crouched against the wall, our hearts beating rapidly.

"That," She took a deep breath. "Was Derek's father."

She didn't miss a beat though, regarding what she had just announced, and we snuck down the hallway silently.

Suddenly, we heard crashes and booms, as if things were being thrown around inside of the room we were just outside of. Adele sprang up to look inside through it's tiny window, looked back at me, then pushed the door open and charged in.

Shocked and confused I peeked in through the door to find Derek and Simon bashing people against each other. A man came behind Simon with a gun to his head, and Adele quickly took down the guy, pinning him to the floor and hitting him hard on the head with his gun. She took it and slipped in in her jacket.

Derek looked up to me after he finished off another guy-this one seeming to be relatively around my age.

"Chloe!" he said, and rushed over to me. He quickly pulled me in the room by my waist and closed the door behind us. Simon looked up to me.

"Hey." He said, sounding exhausted.

"How are we getting out of here?" I asked, leaving the question open for anyone to answer. `

"There's a secret back door," Adele said, looking away. "It's way around the other side of the building, but the door's not guarded. We can easily sneak through there and from that point we can pick up and go." She suggested, looking to each one of us.

"But we have to find Tori," Simon insisted. "And the babies. They ought to be born by now….don't you think?" He turned to Adele who but her lip.

"If they didn't….eliminate her yet, then yes." Adele said in a not-so-sure voice.

"Where would she be?" Derek asked.

Adele stood for a minute, looking distant, counting on her finger. She finally turned back to us and said, "As I remember it, it's pretty close to the exit. We just have to find the room along the fifth hall."

"What hall are we in now?" I peeped up from next to Derek.

Adele looked at me. "Two." She answered. I sighed.

We were going to have to find Tori, and the newborn werewolf/witch/necromancer babies before the Edison Group killed them all.

And with that, Adele quietly lead us out of the room.

Like I said, only two chapters left… L

Anyhow,
