East (Book 3)

Breakout

I went and told South the same stuff that I told West and she gave almost the same reaction. "Does North know?" She asked. I nodded. "This is insane." She added. "How would Malden know all of this? I mean technology hasn't even improved to give him the ability to travel into our minds unless he chipped us when we were babies. I mean that could be the case, but what about Sierra?" I shrugged. "I'm not sure. Maybe she took a nap one day and he chipped her then? I don't wanna think about it. Listen. We have another training session before dinner. We have to really work hard. After Malden thinks we've gone to sleep, I'll have Gamandar fly us to Sierra. We can go to America and try and fix everything, I don't know, I guess I'm just focused on the  breaking out part. It's almost time for lunch, I'm gonna go back to my room. See you later!" I said and dashed to my room before she could even reply. I laid on my bed for a while until Malden called us down. "Girls!! Lunch!!" We all raced down to the kitchen to eat. Laid down on the table were mini sandwiches and subs. Tomato soup with goldfish and grilled cheese. Caesar salad and ahhhh it all looked amazing! I ate at least three bites of everything and slurped down the tomato soup along with my other three sisters. After we finished, Malden told us to put our suits on and digest. We would have training in three hours, which went by really quickly. I threw on my suit and went to the training room where my sisters and Malden were waiting for me. We did the usual training stuff. Warmups first, lessons next, cool off last. By the time we had finished, he let us take showers and get ready for dinner. The table set in front of them had turkey and dressing and mashed potatoes and gravy and peas with big yellow squares of butter melting in them. There were also cranberries and sweet potatoes topped with gooey browned marshmallows and a big salad with croutons and olives and carrots and-
"Whoa." West said in awe. Malden shrugged. "Just a little something my chef's whipped up for you." "A little?!" North cried. "This could fill me for weeks!!" Believe me, dinner tasted as good as it sounded. I was so full. I had to lay down, which I did. I was ready for tonight. I really was.

I woke up and checked the time. It was almost midnight! I went to the secret room, which was where we said we would meet. "Ready?" West asked. We all nodded. We headed for the nearest window and South opened it. We snuck out and closed it. It was almost too easy. We began walking. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw Gaston standing there. "I got the message." He said. Message? I looked at West. Everyone looked at West. "Just incase we needed backup." She said. "That can help." South said. "Gaston, take us to Sierra." Gaston nodded and turned into Gamandar the dragon and we hopped on his back. He began to fly. "Here we come Sierra." I whispered.
