Speechless | Wilbur & Niki Angst

Meeting

TW: brief mention of electrocution

A/N: These chapters will get longer (probably), but this story is takes longer and is harder for me to write. There is less going to be less dialogue, for reasons you will find out, but it does make it difficult to add length. As always, thank you so much for all the support, enjoy the chapter :)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30! Go! Niki slinked quietly through the hall, her paws barely making a sound as she ran to the door. She went through the steps of this routine carefully and precisely. Wait for the night guards to pass, get to the room, unlock the door. Slipping her claws through the keyhole, she wriggled it for a couple seconds, click.

Wilbur looked up at her as soon as she entered, the cat hybrid smiled lightly as she sat down on the bed. Wilbur wasn't really his name, and Niki wasn't her's. They were technically Subjects B-28913 and B-62934, but that didn't sound right to them.

The siren hybrid embraced her, shortly, grinning as he did so.

"Hi." he mouthed.

"Hi, Wilbur." she whispered back. He made a gesture with his hands, his finger tapping his wrist gently. "We have thirty minutes before they check the beds again, I should probably leave in twenty-five." the brunet nodded in acknowledgement.

"Did anything happen today?" The boy gestured to his arm vaguely, and now that Niki looked she could see faint burn marks lacing it. Wilbur then pointed at her, "No, they left me alone today." She murmured.

They had met a couple months ago, Wilbur had been trying to get something to eat from some of the other kids. But they didn't understand, so he spoke. As soon as the sound left his mouth he had jerked in pain. His back arched as he spasmed on the ground. The cat hybrid had been enraged, she ran over to the teen, trying to help him. But there was nothing she could do. A guard had activated the device that was put on all of their wrists. It had several purposes, the main ones being: tracker, shocking the wearer, and activating alarms if they ever tried to run.

Niki was brought back to reality when Wilbur started to do another series of movements. The boy first tapped his wrist, the same motion from before, then walked his finger across his empty hand.

"We should do it soon." The siren held up three fingers, "Three days from now?" The boy nodded. "OK, be ready." They continued to "talk" for a couple more minutes, then they said their goodbyes. And Niki retraced her steps from prior, until she ended up back in "her" room. As always, no one was awake, and she was safe. At least for now. 

Hi guys! Hope you have/had a great day!!! Also fun fact, I spend about an hour writing the chapters, and then about 20 minutes on the author's notes, I just don't know what to say lol
