Chapter 32
Burn it down
Zane's POV
We got back on shore. The water is very dense. While Jay and Cole were arguing, I turned my attention to... A hand? I walked towards that hand. I gasped at the sight. Annalise was laying there, limp and eyes wide with shock.
"No... NO!" I cried. Everyone looked over to us and saw...
"Annalise!" Kai and Cole held back Lloyd.
"We need to bring her back to our father! He may be the only one who could help!" I picked her up and we ran back to the bounty.
"Do not worry Jay." I said, "We will get Nya back." He smiled. I looked away from Jay. The bounty was in sight.
No POV
Dr. Julien was working on the falcon, to make sure it stayed together longer when the ninja rushed into the room.
"Father! We need help!" Julien looked at what the stone army had done.
"Lay her down."
Sky's POV
I had regained my strength and was heading back to the dark island. I walked up behind Cole. I saw what damage the stone army had done and decided to help.
I listened to Zane talk about the fall. I soon entered Annalise's mind. After a fall like that, she had to have lost something of her memory.
She was dreaming of a certain memory. A memory that scared me.
I saw a black figure with four arms throwing a match at a building. Annalise was on the top floor gazing out the window. I heard someone yell,
"Fire!" And Annalise had started making her way downstairs. She got to the fifth floor when a burning support beam fell on her arm. She screamed in pain. She had managed to get her arm loose but her wrist and hand were still stuck there. I saw four familiar figures.
"Is everyone out?" Cole asked. Annalise's scream answered him.
"If we don't get her out, she will inhale too much smoke and die!" Zane said.
"Zane, you stay here and try to put out the fire. Kai and I will try to find the girl. Jay, you keep the crowd under control." Someone in the crowd, a child, spoke up.
"She's on the fifth floor. My mommy pulled me away before we could help her." And with that, Cole and Kai were on their way to Annalise. I flew back to the fifth floor. Annalise had managed to get the rest of her arm out, but it was only a robotic hand. She shook off the odd sight and grabbed a black glove from a desk in a room that was almost burned completely. Cole and Kai saw her exit the room and helped her down the stairs.
The paramedics tried to help, but she refused them. I know she didn't want them to see her hand. The child walked up to her.
"Are you okay?" Annalise only smiled faintly and fell. I was pulled out of the memory.
"Sky?" I looked it was Annalise. She was still alive, her hand was just limp. "How much did you see?"
"All of it."
"Promise not to tell. I want to tell them on my own."
"I promise." I walked over to where she was standing. It turned out she was looking through her own eyes. She was whispering.
"Please don't find it..." Her left arm was the one that burned.
"She should be okay, but I need to check for more damage." Julien started to pull off her gloves.
"No..." She whispered. Everyone gasped at the sight of her left hand. It was only metal wire, crumpled like paper. Cole spoke up.
"She was the burn victim."
