Chapter 19
I closed my cell and put it back in my hoodie pocket.
"She betrayed you all. Tell me, how does it feel? To have someone or something ripped away from you by your enemy. Hmmm? Oh dear, Jack, you really shouldn't have trusted her."
A tear slid down my face. "Okay. Come on Liz. You got this."
I plugged my earphones into my iPod shuffle, and listened to the music. Trying to keep from dancing around "like a crazy person," as Stephanie had always described it, I closed my eyes and clenched my fists.
Then I spoke. "It's a trick! Don't listen to him!"
Nothing. It didn't work. "Did you really think that would work, Elizabeth? I'm controlling your mouth, little girl." Pitch's voice echoed in my head. Literally.
Turning the music up higher, I started singing, not realizing that's what I was doing. I was about to try again, when my voice got louder, echoing. Turning down the music, I looked outside.
"Uhh. Testing 1 2."
"Can you hear me?" I couldn't resist. I gave this question a little sing song. "Echo. echo echo echo."
I heard Pitch crying out.
Chuckling quietly, I said, "All right. I'll assume that's a yes. Let's see if I can try controlling my legs and arms shall we? man this echo is crazy!" I muttered.
I breathed in, closing my eyes. I turned up the music again, humming quietly. Concentrating, I started dancing around, specifically using my arms and legs.
Feeling breezes, I slowly lifted one eyelid, then the other fluttered open.
I gasped. "Clouds! Sky! All of my limbs are intact." Checking the places where my bruises were, I said, "Sweet! the bruises aren't there either."
Realizing I still couldn't see them, I looked down. "And I still can't see you people." I rubbed my head, trying to think. "What the-?" I felt something on my hand. Touching it with my other hand.
"What is this stuff?" I asked, trying to wipe it off. I gasped. "It's grown on me! Aaah.. Get it off get it off!" I jumped up and down trying to shake it off.
"AAAH!" I knelt down, looking down, at the big gap between me, and the ground. "Jack… You can let me down now…" "Jack?" I looked around. Turning the music completely off, I looked around. "You guys aren't here are you?"
"They abandoned you, you see." Pitch's voiced loomed around echoing in Tooth's garden, which now looked pretty trashy.
I rolled my eyes. Plugging my earphones in and turning the music up, I hummed, my hands dropping down. Instantly, I lowered down.
"Great. My greatest power is an elevator. Woop de doo." I said dryly.
I know terrible place to stop .
i just can't think of how i go from here to the conversation i want them to have XD
