Z975 (ON HOLD)

Chapter 18

             There were many things I didn't expect. For example , being here in Terminal X as a fugitive away from my family. And honestly, I don't miss them that much. Well at least Gina. But what I didn't expect is falling off of the bed and landing on the floor from the sound of an air horn blaring into my ear. And I bet you can guess where the source of the " lovely" sound came from.

           " Morning sunshine!" Axle said mockingly. Yeah, let's see how sunshiney I am after my fist says good morning to his face.

           " What do you want?" I groaned and pulled my pillow off of the bed and onto my face.

           " Well, I came to see sleeping beauty ," he said" but obviously I'm in the wrong room,". I picked up the pillow , gave him an evil glare, and then threw the pillow back onto my face.

           " Seriously, why are you here?" I asked.

            " Well, if you must know," he replies throwing some clothes by me," and hurry up,". And with that , he leaves shutting the door behind him.

             I stand up and pick up the clothes he gave me. Its a pair of black yoga pants with a red "x" sewn onto the bottom right side  and a black tank top. I quickly slipped on the clothes and tied my hair up. I'm surprised. These clothes really fit me well unlike my other clothes that made me look all weird and dis-formed. Well, you can't really blame the clothes for my unique body type. But it is what it is.

             I almost scream when Spade came hurdling in here. It happened so fast I didn't have time to react as she grabs my arm and drags me through the building and outside. Once I was outside, she slammed the door and the sound of a click confirmed it's locked.

             What the freak just happened? I bang , kick, and pull on the door, but I give up since it looks like it's not budging. I don't understand what's happening? Did I do something wrong? Did Axle convinced them that I'm some sort of evil robot? I'm not sure , but I am sure that it is like movie silent. And I don't mean to be cliché , but it's quiet, too quiet. And I mean it no birds chirping , no animals rustling around, just creepy silence.

            It's been awhile now, three minutes, and I'm still standing out here like idiot. But then, I almost miss him , but to my right I see this guy, who mysteriously came out of nowhere, approaching. He has this look of determination on his face as he walks toward me.

            " Um, hello?" I ask. He doesn't reply and still has the same look on his face.  I shift uncomfortably. Something does not seem right?

            " Excuse me , do you know what's happening here?". I know it sounds lame but I don't know what to say.

            Now, he is three feet away from me and is still silent. I don't think I have seen him blink yet. It's like we are having a staring contest .  Well, it doesn't last long because the guy punches me in the face!

            I stumble backwards, not falling back but almost. He lets out a battle cry as he lunges for me. I 'm dazed but not enough to get out of the way. He notices and swings for me. He hits me again in the face. Okay that is enough! It is going down!

          I lunge for him and tackle him to the ground. I pin him down and get a few good punches to his face, with my iron hand. He starts to bleed . I stopped . This didn't seem right. Unfortunately , for me he used my moment of weakness and flipped us so I was pinned underneath his weight. No matter how hard I tried , I just wasn't strong enough.

         He wrapped his rough hands around my neck. He held it tightly and firmly. I tried prying his hands away but I couldn't get a grip. I could feel the  air draining from my body quickly , and I can see the sick pride on his face.
