Sing Your Way Out
Chapter 20: In the Sky
Cj POV:
Silvery bubbles float slowly towards the surface. I move forward, trying to take Agave by surprise. Suddenly the water parts and an invisible force makes me surface.
"You're getting good at that." I said with a laugh.
"You know me." Agave said with a smile.
"Yes I do." I said with another laugh.
"Stand still, Ian is behind you." Agave said. I stood as stilly as possible. There was a rush af water, and Ian surfaced behind us, gasping for air.
"W...W…Why!" Ian stammered, gasping for air.
"Why what?" Agave said, sounding as innocent as possible.
"Hey, yall', get out of the water, or we'll never get there!" Roark yelled from across the complex.
"Agave…" I hissed.
"I'm on it." Agave said with a vile smile. She sent a stream of water at Roark's back.
"Not funny!" Roark yelled. Harv walked past, trying to his laughter.
"Let's go, before he thinks of something." Ian said with a laugh.
We got out of the water, dried our selves, and went to go change. The complex where the outsiders lived was amazing. It had a huge training pool, which was where we were, a eating place, with food I had never even heard of, and a huge makeshift hotel. We had stayed there last night. The grey walls were easily lost into the mountain range rising high above it. We went, got changed, we packed up, and headed to their giant headquarters.
"I must admit, yours was a lot nicer at Tower." Roark said, looking around.
"You mean rock walls, heat, and darkness are better than this?" Swan hissed.
"Well, it was nicer, and you made it completely by hand to, so.." Harv said with a sigh.
"You mean you didn't make this?" Suki said.
"Not at all." Harv said.
"Who did then…" James asked, looking perplexed.
"We have no idea, but let's talk about that latter." Roark said.
"Yes, you said it takes three days to get to the plane." Ian said.
"Yes, but it takes one and a half if we take a cart, and two horses. There is a paved road up to the airport." Harv said
"Yes, but what do we do with the horses after that?" Jasmine asked.
"We could take care of that." Jay said.
"What?" James said
"Yes, we can shape shift. We can turn into horses." Jay said.
"That's a great idea!" Ray said with his usual sneer.
"I agree." Fenton interjected.
"Let's go then!" Harv said.
It took the next hour or so to find the cart, and to pack it up. Harv loaded up a small bag with one or two maps, and Roark loaded up a giant bag filled with food. Then everyone's packs went in. Jay and James got ready, and were attached to the cart. Roark took the reins, and everyone else jumped into the back. We slowly lurched forward into the unknown.
The next day…
We slowly lurched onto the tarmac, and unloaded. We all took our packs and loaded up onto the airplane. Harv climbed upfront, with Roark, and everyone else in the back. We all squeezed in. I was crushed incredibly close to Ian, I blushed. In a few minutes, we were up in the air. James and Jay shrunk down into mice so there was more space. We stacked all of the packs up against the back. The funny thing was that there wasn't any seats. So when stacked all of the pack so that they wouldn't fall, we had more space. I leaned against the packs. Ian next to me.
"You cold?" Ian whispered to me, offering half of a blanket.
"Thanks Ian. " I said, and took the piece.
In an hour everyone was asleep, except myself. I looked over at Ian. I sighed, and closed my eyes. His arms wrapped around me.
I fell asleep.
