Wings

Chapter 7

It's been five days since I've been in the box. The same thing's been happening every day, and I have a clear output of what it's like.That means that I can break out of this place today. It's going to be fun. Yesterday I gave them a fright with the chair, I purposely unbolted them from the wall and had someone on the outside replace the ropes and chain with battered ones. So then I can break out of them easily. When they came in and pinned me to the chair Dash asked me the same question until I got bored. Then I told him "Will you stop. I'm not going to tell you anything. Also I'm tired of being left all tied up on this chair." Then I took them by surprise, through taking of the tampered ropes and chains like they were nothing. Also stood from my chair pulling it with me from the wall. The face that Dash gave me was flawless. I just couldn't stop there. Right after that I screamed so loud I think Dash's ears are probably still ringing.

"You can't stop me here. I will always get out of here whenever I want. You out of all people cannot stop me." With that they all left the room with the most ridiculous faces they could give me.

Then I hear dash state to the guard outside "We'll come back tomorrow with ten people in suits. I want you to pin her down and destroy her morale until she doesn't hit back. She is a feisty one. This will go down at one o'clock, when she doesn't expect it." Yay so I can have my show ready for tomorrow.

I get ready by creating a break in the rocks behind me. Then connected a wire that will do the damage throughout the wall for me. Then in all the commotion I will escape from air vents. Ooh, I'm actually excited for this. Then I stand in my position waiting for the trump card.

Finally when the visitors jolly inside I give them a show by punching the wall. Then letting the wire do its work by crumbling the wall in front of me. While there is a gray sheet of dust from the rubble I quickly enter the air vent waiting for Dash to come in. Once Dahs enters I see the face that I have been waiting for. His face shows anger, and I think steam is starting to form from his ears. Anyways I saw what I wanted and so I left leaving everyone behind, at the box. I get out on the roof and start to run all around the city. Maybe I should go see Michael. It's been a while. I wonder if the sickness has taken him yet. I run through the people looking for a way to get to Michael.

As I run through the people I hear the sirens of police cars. I know they're not coming from me it's impossible. While I'm running I hear the police sirens take over my hearing as if they're getting closer the more I go. Then I finally see them and they have actually built a barricade between both sides of the city. By this point in time I can't run up the edge of the building or they'll see me. Neither is there any allies I can walk into. So I try to blend with the crowd walking at their pace. As I get to the barricade I have to go through this scanner for wanted posters. Although it doesn't matter because they don't know who I am.I should be able to walk through without any problems. When I walk through I breathe carefully to build confidence. Then the colors around me go from blue to red. Everything starts beeping around me like I can't hear anything.

I can hear the police gathering around me "Everyone clear the area. Guns at the ready. Come out with your hands above your head snake bandit." Shiz! What's going on here?! When in the hell did they get a picture of me? That's ridiculous this is all a dream. When I walk out I'm going to wake up. Yeah that's what it is. I look through the cracks of the scanner to only see detective Peterson in front of me. Why out of all the people, he's here? It's almost like they were waiting for me to come, but it's impossible. Anyways might as well come out and give them a show. I walk out to find a building next to me full of edges and there are no helicopters today. So I can get away easily. As they come to attack me I let them take me. I am pinned to the wall.

Instead of cuffing me right away they check who I am first. One of the police officers comes over to me and then rips my sleeve off. There are four people on top of me and if I break free from them then there are five other officers getting ready. The man approaching me is going to find out who I am if I can't get out of this mess. I try to struggle through the men behind me but it's impossible. These people way like a ton each on my back, not like the people we have at base. Oh no! This is getting really bad really fast. As his hand gets closer I try to fidget even more. All I'm focusing on now is the hand. It's taken over my sight of vision. I can't get out but I can't let him see my tattoo.

He grabs my shirt he rips it off seeing the tattoo and shouts across the road to the detective, "The info from Skull Raiders was correct we have our snake bandit." Wait, when and where did they ever see me. It must've been when I was at the dumpster. Looking for something to cover my tattoo. No way that's impossible. Now they know who I am. They have seen my face and they have the proof. I got so mad that I break free momentarily. I kick away from the wall giving space between the wall and me. Then I run up the wall and because they're still holding on I jump off creating a 360 roll. They finally let go and I then jump off of them to the buildings window and climb up.

Then the raining of shots begin. They all missed until one hit my shoulder. I couldn't have gotten through until the last second. I finally came over the top, but one bullet skinned my calf. Well that was great. They know who I am and they've shot me in the two places I rely on the most. Thank god the sun is going down and I can hide in the shadows. I struggled walking around the rooftops. With pain enveloping my body I really don't know what to do. I'm crumbling away slowly. I have to go somewhere. I can't go back to HQ and I don't have anyone who lives outside of HQ either. Wait there's Michael, he can help me. I hope he does.

As I stumble to the hospital I see an increase of police everywhere. There's helicopters squadrons entering the roof tops of the city. This is a wonderful day already. My week just gets better and better. Through this problem I enter the back allies hiding away from the light. This takes me a while due to the stumbling and clumsiness. Also I'm starting to get dizzy due to the loss of blood. I have to get there as fast as I can.

This is helpless I think I should sit down and rest. I sit down and the raise of my breath and heart rate are keeping me on the edge of my life. Is this the end of everything? But it can't be. I still have a life to live. I still need to find someone I can fall in love with. But wait haven't I already found someone I like. Yeah, Janette at least thinks so. Well Michael I will live through this just to see you. With all the strength I have mustered in me I finally get to the hospital. Although the police were already there. This astonishes me because I don't remember telling anyone. Not even Skull Raiders should know. The only other person that knows other than Matt and Michael is Dash. But no way would he tell.

I actually found a way through the sewer appearing behind the hospital. Trying to scale it with all my might. Although I ended up falling into a room with an open window. Luckily there was no one there. As I sneak around avoiding cameras and doctors, especially bull lady from the front, I end up right there in front of his room. I barge in and see Matt there sitting right by Michael. I smile and start to cry at him.

"Stella It's been quite a while. OH MY GOD! Why are you bleeding, quickly get over to the other bed. Matt go get some first aid equipment from outside." As he's fumbling off the bed and rushing Matt out the door I see confusion in both of their eyes. Also I can see the sickness is started taking a toll on Michael's body. His legs are skinny and the hospital clothes look humongous on him. Looks like the sickness is starting to eat him from the inside. He looks like he hasn't eaten in days. He looks terrible. Then at that very moment I see everything around me going haywire. Oh no, I'm losing consciousness. As I start to fall I feel Michael come and break my fall. He carries me to the other bed and puts me down.

"Stella it's all going to be ok. Just look at me and breathe. Matt and me, were going to patch you up. Don't you worry you'll be as good as new" As he's saying this I can't see anything but I can hear him crying and the tears falling on my face. Throughout the night I fall into and out of conciseness and I can see him working vigorously on me. The pain wakes me up every time. Finally the sun comes up again and I can see that they're almost done and the painkillers are working perfectly. I fall into a deep sleep, close my eyes to the beauty of life in front of me. Well that was one long night. I wonder what the rest of the day will bring for us.

"We're almost done Stella. Just keep on fighting through." I fall asleep listening to his voice that echoes throughout my mind.
