Author's Note: Hey guys, since it has been a long time (as in a long time) since I last updated this story, I'm open to suggestions or comments regarding the flow of the story. I lost the original chapters so I'm basically making them up right now. Tell me how you feel about it and I'll see what I can do!
Chapter 4: Kill Me Now
It's run or run. There's no other choice now I guess. I just felt like hurling my insides out. It's not like I'm afraid of being caught and chopped up like a pig in the slaughter house, its more of it's just unfair that they know exactly how to deal with us while we run like mad chickens! I liked running and so did Bex, so stamina is of no question; but Liz was our problem. She wasn't exactly Olympics material. Hey she's scholastic marathon material (maybe even triathlon) but when you're dealing with spies, Olympics may not even be enough.
It was a different story with Macey, she actually didn't want to run away. Bex had to literally drag her out just to force her to run alongside us, she was screaming and wanted too just go out there and knock the lights out of them. She finally gave in when she realized that Bex, for like the first time had Plan Z as Plan A. Bex hated running away, that was a sign of weakness for her and Macey got the point when Bex flailed around shouting "RUN FOR IT!" then everyone scrambled onto their feet.
The bad part? It wasn't only us who started scrambling on our feet.
"The hell is that?" Grant looked around to spot the source of the scream. It would've been great if we the scream sounded like some other Mother Nature thing, but it was too gay to even pass of as anything other than a screech. Being the spies that they are, it took them no less than the time we took to scramble to divide the lot. I ran like I'm being poached and actually felt like one, when I heard Zach shout "The first one to capture and return gets to choose where to eat breakfast!" I guess that was their battle cry, breakfast seemed to mobilize them like thunder storm though we could all hear Jonas screaming "THIS IS JUST UNFAIR! Why is breakfast always related to running! I never get to pick out where to eat!" Then there was the freaky silence, they disappeared like light.
"Are they seriously betting over breakfast?" Macey had steam coming out of her; she was enraged I could totally feel it and Bex had the same facial reaction, just freakier. "Please remind me never to run again! I am so going to kick some ballsssssssss!" Bex exclaimed then Macey added, "That is if they happen to have some!" The tension was high but after running several paces my instincts are finally taking over and I'm getting all giddy from the Adrenaline Rush.
Liz looked tense and was mumbling to herself until she finally spoke out "Aren't we supposed to be quiet? We are being chased here helloooooo!" She looked like she was about to cry, it was understandable but then Macey stopped right in front of the fountain. "Let them come! I'm not wasting my stamina being chased by boys who are biologically gifted with more of it".
We all stopped and formed some sort of a square formation, to ensure that all areas are taken care of.
There was no other sound besides the rustling of the wind and the heaving of our chests. From our training, this looks to be the calm before the storm. We braced out self, well the three of us did, while Liz had been shaking so bad that she looks like she's gonna fall apart anytime now. But okay this is not really as bad as it looks like. Liz may seem weak and too afraid, fragile and devastated (okay you get the point) but that little frame packs a monster inside. She's like the Hulk inside, but bite size. There was this one time when she went on possessed mode that she nearly destroyed the entire place. Apparently her possessed mode consists of being so clumsy, it's deadly to bystanders. And we are hoping it comes out now.
Three heavy breathing cycles and there was a rustle that lasted for a split second, then I'm face to face with the jackass. Before I hit the ground I still got to shout "Disperse!" But I think I didn't need to say that since everyone started running on their own, tackling the 3 other guys. It was like battle royale – park version. Bex had leaped on top of the fountain, in a fighting pose ready to drown Grant down under. I saw Jason randomly avoiding rocks, bushes, even benches as they flew towards him from a hyperventilating Liz. Macey was another story; she was in a frontal attack with Preston who stood two meters in front of him. They seemed to be in staring contest and didn't make any movements.
I have no idea what's their deal but I've got better problems of my own. He was smirking and I felt half pissed and half ready to pee in my pants. "What the hell is your deal?" I gawked at him with a punch which was side stepped like a dance. "Why good morning to you too Ms. I'm Totally Blending in" He smiled cockily as he blocked the kick that was meant to reach his face. I backed away from his uppercut and turned slightly to hear blasts of curses flying around.
Liz was still throwing random things while shouting, "Get away from me! Go away!" while Jason was screaming back "I am trying to get away! You keep on throwing stuff!" Okay they fought in a really weird way but its nothing against Bex and Grant who were in some form of Mixed martial arts fighting and a swearing contest.
Grant was flinging his arms at Bex who evaded like a fly, when he shouted "YOU TOMBOY!" then Bex snapped "OH NO YOU DIDN'T!" They sounded like animals, but it was freaky how they snared at each other.
Somewhere out there, Preston was insinuating insults that got him a bang on the head. He said to Macey, "We're spies now, no need to be shy, let's fight like one" while pointing at Bex and Grant for comparison. Those two were basically on each other's throats (as in hands all over each other's face and all that, totally out of fighting style and poise if I may add) when they saw Preston, but unanimously decided to hit back the weirdo.
Macey was fast and she got out her explosives. She started circling Preston who knew better than stick around and be coated with exploding pink and red lipsticks. The fights continued and more curses were flung around. Everything happened simultaneously, can't blame our training for still noticing other things while being pinned down and strangled to the ground.
"Is that everything you've got?" Zach raised an eyebrow at me and that pushed the button. I kicked him in the gut and the dragon was awakened. Okay, okay I'm a chameleon all right, but he got me so fired up I'm gonna pulverize him to bits and pieces of unrecognized Zach!
"Get back here you smirking" I paused then shouted "FREAK!" He kept on dodging and throwing sudden kicks and punches. I'll be honest, he's okay, fine he's you know, good enough! Then I got a kick in the butt and landed on the ground. "Oh that's it you are totally not good enough you douche bag!" How can I not be mad when I'm heaving like crazy and he's like playing a game.
It seemed like a long time, but without much ado the entire thing took around and hour and a half of battling like crazy! It's embarrassing if anyone sees us, especially some other spy. We look all-rugged, well just a select number to be honest. After an hour and a half, Jonas was wrapped in several layers of elastic gum and was being pushed (well mostly kicked actually) around by the tearful Liz. Grant had Bex on top of his shoulders and was out cold to much of my surprise! Grant didn't stay up much longer though, he fell down shortly with his messed up pants and barely recognizable T-shirt.
I slowly got up and was caught off guard by Macey and Preston "Well that certainly looks awkward you two" I said to them while looking from head to toe. Preston definitely got creamed and looked like a clown under a fashion crisis. Macey still looked dazzling despite the fact that she lost both of her shoes somewhere out there. Well let's get to the awkward part, apparently the cunning Sir in the person of Preston thought of beating Macey by tying her onto the post using a state of the art handcuff. The bad part was when he slipped and got himself instead of the post.
I looked at the two of them, with Macey basically pulling on Preston's hair, desperately using him as the leverage to try and get the handcuffs off. "Stop yanking on my hair you witch!" Preston shouted as he tugged on Macey's hand. "Get this of my you gay man!" They went on slapping each other until they realized that we were already looking at them. Macey straightened up her clothes and raised an eyebrow with a matching smirk "Then I'm sorry Cammie for interrupting your precious moment" I was looking at her skeptically with nearly a unibrow until I noticed Liz pointing down.
Right under me was the abomination of the world. "Enjoying yourself to much aren't you?" Zach was leisurely lying there under me, looking like the cocky demon that he is. You are such an ass! There would be now in hell I'm ever telling you you're hot! "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed and attempted to leap up into a battle position when Zach pulled me back "Not so fast you greedy heavy weight! Fess up, what do you guys have?" He clung onto my waist and I could totally feel the difference between the chromosome X and Y. I know he's been playing around the entire time but his strength was really nothing to joke about.
"I'd rather die than tell you batshit!" I continued squiggling and squirming my way up when I finally burst through his arms, just to end up eye to eye, nose to nose, and god kill me now, lips to lips. I zoned for three seconds and realized what on freaking earth just happened. I pushed his face while screaming like a madman trying to desperately convince myself that I did not just contaminate myself with the evil of the world.
Zach slowly got up from being punched, slammed and slapped as he said while wiping the scratch on his check "My, my what an aggressive maniac do we have in here!" He was still smirking and I just felt like wanting to wipe him off from the face of the world. "I'm going to kill you! You – you – You BASTARD!" I wanted to cry myself out, but more importantly I wanted to make sure that by the end of this all, he suffers until he's dead and is six feet underground!
My friends stood there gaping at what just happened and I even heard Macey say "Being tied up here with this mongrel now sounds any better and that any time of the day" She pointed towards me and my pitiful excuse of a spy who just got pawned by a demonic spy.
It has only been 4 hours since we landed in New York and her I am tied and flung over the shoulders of the worst possible person in the planet; while my friends are being dragged along (More of Liz was dragging the awkwardly wrapped Jason and behind the tied together Preston and Macey who are hauling both Grant and Bex). They're looking better than the humiliation I'm experiencing now, when Zach paused to ask mockingly "Are you going to fess up now or do you want more of that greedy action earlier?"
I used his shoulder as the axel in attempt to kick his face while saying "Over my dead friggin body" but was was blocked by the laughing horror "you gay lord" I added.
Upon realizing that I need to use my brain over my temper, did I silence down to think of better ways to escape. The hauling may have been just 15 minutes but it felt like one whole day of pure agony and suffering.
Oh boy, little did I know that that wasn't even close to the true start of it all.
