Sing Your Way Out
Chapter 19: Under Control
Emily POV:
I looked back. This was not happening! A knome grabbed onto Noel, and didn't let go, dragging her into the school. Another was behind me, I dogged around a tree. The knome followed. Screams of pain made for a horrible sound track to the chase. I dug my heels into the ground, and turned around to fight. The knome jumped. I sidestepped him, and ran back into the darkness. I tripped! Over what? I looked back, a monitor stepped out of the shadows, and picked me up, and dragged me back into the school, I screamed as loud as possible. No rescue came. I watched in dismay as the large wooden doors clanged shut.
"Stand here and don't move!" The monitor hissed, pointing a sharp knife at me.
Torm walked in, his heavy walk threatening, as he looked at all of us in disgust.
"Bring him!" Torm growled to a monitor behind him. I watched in horror as they dragged Shadow in front of the assembled monitors, and all who had been caught. Shadow, also known as the Great Unknown, was covered in blood, his eyes almost closed, his blond hair almost turned black with blood. Shadow, also Cj's cousin.
"Now! I don't want anyone trying to escape! We have won!" Torm growled.
"No you haven't!" Shadow managed to rasp.
"Oh, we haven't? well, by all of the rebellious scum we have caught and killed, I think we have!" Torm spat.
"No! Get me out of here! Help!" Noel started to scream.
"Stop! We won't kill you, well, not yet. No." Torm said with a smile.
"Year right!" Shadow spat.
"Silence!" Hissed the monitor who was holding him.
"I just wanted you to see, what happens to those who try to escape again." Torm said.
Out of nowhere, a knife gleams in Torms hand. Letting the light show the cruel features of the knife. Torm looked at us, at the knife, and at Shadow. Without hesitation, he plunges it into Shadows stomach. The monitor lets Shadow drop to the ground.
"Don't disobey us, and this won't happen!" Torm hisses to us.
"Dismissed!" The monitor shouts, and we are dragged into separate rooms, before I am loked int the cramped cold room, I take one last look at Shadows body, the blood pooled around him, and the look on his face. Cj has to be told. The clang of the door, and the looks being put in place brings me back to reality, first, I have to get out of here.
Cj POV:
Screeches com from the sky above. I look up to see two bird chasing each other. James. I laugh.
"I wonder how things are back at tower." Agave says, flipping her blond hair, to reveal the drops of water she is working with. Perfecting her ability.
"I have no idea." Gabe says with a smile
"I hope everything is okay." Swan says, flicking her red hair.
"Hey, what's that?" Ian says, pointing towards the horizon.
"A camp ground…." Harv says
"HOME!" Roark screams, and starts running to the establishment.
"Home? They come from here?" Suki asks.
"I have no idea." Jasmine says.
"First of all, yes we do live here! Secondly, warm food and beds, now hurry up!" Harv retorts.
Later…
We sat in the dining room of the establishment. I stared at my food. A small salad. I took a sip from my sickly sweet peach nectar.
How far until we reach civilization?" I asked Roark, staring at my hypnotizing nectar.
" Three days of walking, then we reach an airport, and fly out." Roark said, his mouth full of food.
"How to we know we can trust any one of the pilots? The might bring us right back, and its over." Ian said, playing with a straw.
"That's not a problem, Harv here can fly." Roark said, shoving even more food into his mouth.
"Yea, but what about the plane? The destination?" Gabe said, annoyed.
"Don't worry about that." Harv said.
"we have it under control." Roark said with a laugh.
