Queen of the elements (Book 4 of The Fire Within)

Part 104: Army

(Diego was right. With no traffic and him going way over the speed limit. They were able to get there in 5 minutes. They weren't prepared for what they found however. Outside the building was an army of people with makeshift weapons, all guarding the door.)

Five: What the hell?

Luther: Well that doesn't look good.

Y/n: An army?! These people have an army? 

(Allison taps Diego's shoulder and points to the adjoining alley.)

Allison: Quick, back down theater alley so we're out of sight. 

(Diego tried to put the car in reverse but it continued to go forward and everyone yelled.)

Allison: Diego!

Y/n: Wrong way!

Five: Back up, you idiot! 

(Despite everyone's protests, the car continued to move forward.)

Diego: I'm trying. 

Luther: What? 

(Diego continued to try and switch gears but it didn't work.)

Diego: Come on, you peice of shit. 

(He punched the dash but that made the radio come on and play Baby Shark loud enough that it got the attention of the people guarding the building as the car continued to excelerate towards them.)

Klaus: What are you doing?

Lila: Hit the brakes! 

(Diego slammed his foot against the break but it didn't work and the car continued to barrel towards the building.)

Diego: I'm trying! It's not working!

Klaus: Come one man! You're gonna get us killed! Now would be an excellent time for somebody to do something!

(Metal scraped on metal as the car scraped against a parked car on the side of the road as Y/n quickly pulled the emergency brake lever that was on the floor, causing the car to come to screeching halt and everyone to fling forward a little.)

Allison: Shit!

Klaus: God. 

(The engine sputtered then stopped and going dead. The group looked out the window to find themselves right in front of the giant crowd of people and the building. All those in the front of the crowd cocked their guns and pointed it at the family.)

Y/n: Well that's not good.
