Next Chapter! Sorry it took so long, I don't really have an excuse, he, he, he. I didn't get a phone. Only Jessamyn did :(.

*sigh*

Well, sorry for the wait!


I sat solemnly on my knees, trying to rub my dirt-covered arms.

The Cyclopes hadn't been very gentle when they brought me here. They grabbed my arms with their dirt-covered, or at least I hope it was dirt, arms and practically threw me in here. Then, they shoved chains onto my wrists, and closed the bars.

I struggled out of impulse and tried to escape.

Stop it Aednat, you're rushing; calm down.

I cleared my head and breathed slowly.

The first thing you have to do, is get out of these chains.

Right, chains. I summoned a wave of heat to my hands and tried to melt the cuffs that clung to my wrist. As the metal heated up, a sharp pain met my wrist a I immediately stopped. I looked at my wrists to see burned red flesh around the cuffs.

No melting, you'll burn yourself. Try looking for something to break them.

I searched around the room, looking for some sort of rock or sharp object to brake the chains with. I searched the room five times, but nothing was there, not even a food tray.

Okay, last option; brute force.

I took a deep breath and pulled as hard as I could, I could feel the metal loosening from the wall, so I pulled harder. Just when I thought the chain would break, I heard a large snap come from my wrist, and an excruciating pain ran up my left arm; causing my vision to blur.

Oh man.

I dared to look at my hand.

God no.

The wrist had turned yellow and my hand was limp. I tried to shift my hand's position and bend my fingers, but nothing happened. More pain surged through my wrist, but my hand was numb; I couldn't even feel it. My fears were confirmed; it was broken, or at least dislocated. My head turned foggy and I leaned against the wall.

Just ignore it.

I couldn't. I was doing nothing, so the only thing I could think of; was the pain in my wrist.

Get your mind off of it… um… think of… a plan!

Yes, a plan, even if I'm stuck in here, I still need a plan of overall escape.

Well, if Winter and I combine powers, we can make steam. If we make enough; the Cyclopes would be blinded! I mean, sure, it'd be hard for us to see too, but we could make it. Then, we'd melt the bars of Calder and Chet's cages and get them out. Sure, guards would be after us, but Chet could like, knock them over using wind. Yeah, they're heavy, but Chet could do it, he's strong.

Yeah, he is strong.

He could do it.

And cute.

Then, we'd all just find our way out, do a bit of improvising, and that's it! Perfect plan! What could go wrong?

Now to just get out of here.

I was so busy thinking of a plan, that I hadn't noticed that my broken wrist, had escaped its cuff.


I know, stupid chapter. MY TWIN KEEPS MAKING ME STALL! IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!

I didn't read any reviews, sorry.
