Chapter Seven

Men sometimes come inside the room where everyone was chained, or in Amu's case, locked in a metal box to bring food.

What's worse, she still can't use her flames. And even is she can, they won't work on the very powerful also metal box.

Amu kept wondering where her charas where. 'I shouldn't have brought them in this mess.' She thought bitterly.

She hated Amoro, and so did her father. Everyone in the Hinamori family hated him. So cruel and unjust.


Finally, it was time to take the flames. The men came in and went first to Amu.

Secretly, Amu had a plan. Whenever the men gave her food, they would throw it in the lid above her. The lid was covered with wires.

If she, giving all her power, can open it, and hang onto the wires, she might be able to survive the electricity the men were supposed to try on the box and electrocute her. Foolish of them to talk about plans outside the door.

Besides, she got all her energy back and she was as strong as before, so she can do it.

She tried to open the lid. Since it was just a little bit below the open-roof, the men can't see her sash that she was gonna use to hold herself up.

Finally, they stopped. Amu kept hearing shouts and protests from outside, but she can't think about that now. With all her power, she opened the lid. Panting, she held on to the sash and got ready.

She heard men laughing outside as the box got electrocuted. For good measure, she also screamed as loud as she can. Finally, it stopped. She sighed in relief. Her plan had worked!

She pretended to be asleep while the men opened the door. Once they opened it, it was time.

She kicked the man who opened the door and threw blue flame at the others.

The men, startled, fell back, and went unconscious.

She stood high, smiling. 'Wrong move' she told the men.

'Yay, you got out, Amu-chi!' She heard Yaya exclaim. I turned around to see the others, smiling.

'I'm so proud of you, Amu. Now, we have to get out quick.' Papa told her.

She nodded and threw fire at the chains. But then, she was surprised to see her charas also chained to the wall. They were smiling.

'Amu-chan!' They yelled.

I destroyed their chains. 'Amu-chan, that was a slick move you did back there.' Miki told me.

'A good defense, desu' Su smiled.

Her papa lead the way out, and when we were near the exit, alarms went off.

Amu's POV

'Quick, to the exit!' I screamed.

We all ran as fast as we could until we finally got out. 'Amu, call Isha. We need speed.' Papa told Amu. She nodded, then made a loud whistle.

'Amu, what was that?' Rima cried out once I was done. Before I could answer, a beast as high as a house was flying towards us. 'Isha!' I shouted gleefully.

The others just stood in shock. The orange-beast growled and landed in front of us. 'All aboard.' I told the others.

Before I could go in the driver's seat (her head), Amoro appeared, his face in anger. He threw black flames at us, but I countered with my blue flame. The flames collided, resulting in smoke.

I took that time to escape and returned to a place where Papa, Mama and I practiced our flames.
