Chapter 51

"Oh Princeton, Princeten! What's the difference?" Jade asked.

"Oh but there is a huge difference." Leigh-Anne said suddenly noticing that Jesy wasn't moving or speaking. "Babe? You alright? Come sit next to me."

Jesy grunted something then slowly got to her knees. She knee-walked over to Leigh-Anne then tumbled over so that her face and arms were propped in Leigh's lap.

"We don't have time to explain that!" Roc Royal whisper cried. "We can talk on the train to Alaska. Come on let's go!" He motioned to the sitting children to get up.

"Yeah guys it's just a matter of time until he gets up and realizes that we're outside." Prodigy said starting to walk off.

"So you're really gonna leave Ray Ray in there?" Jade asked them getting to her feet.

Prodigy paused and swung the bat he was carrying in her direction. "If you wanna go back for him then you can but me and Roc are getting the hell outta here. Ray Ray would have told us to run if he were awake."

"But he's alive we can't just leave him." Jade mumbled. "And come on I think I can take Princeton."

"You can take PrinceTON but you can't take PrinceTEN!" Prod and Roc said together.

"Besides since when do you even like Ray? I thought you would be the first to suggest that we leave him to die." Prodigy asked beginning to scope out how long it'll take for him and Roc to climb the wall/gate around the mansion.

Jade punched him at the back of the head. "Who said that I liked him . . . I just thought since he's the one who practically raised you bozos you'd at least try to help him."

"Jade . . . I think we should leave." Perrie urged. "We're out of time. Let's go."

"What is she talking about?" Prodigy asked squinting at Perrie. "How does she know how much time we have? Did Princeten wake up or something?"

Jade took one look at the look on Perrie's face in the near darkness and gulped. The moon suddenly emerged from behind a cloud draping them all in a silver glow. "Alright we do need to leave." Jade grabbed hold of Perrie's arm and started walking, passing Prodigy and Roc Royal.

"Wait for us." Leigh-Anne said struggling to get Jesy to her feet. "Please."

Jade paused for them looking back impatiently. "Hurry up." She hissed.

Leigh-Anne continued to struggle. Jesy didn't seem to want to move. "Leigh . . ." She mumbled falling over when Leigh-Anne got her to her feet.

"Oh for the love of . . ." Prodigy moved back and hefted Jesy to her feet. She wasn't heavy in the slightest but she was a bit taller than him. "Roc come help me."

Together they half dragged her. "By the way the both of you reek of barf." Roc Royal grumbled.

"Oh don't mention it. I'm no good with bad smells." Jade grumbled.

"Maybe we should have moved to the gate. It would be easier to climb than this." Prodigy mumbled when they finally met the wall. It was tall and made of bricks. There was no way he could climb it. Heck he and Roc couldn't climb the gate either. He cringed at the memory of Roc Royal falling from it and breaking his arm.

"No. The gate would be obvious. This way we'll get out on the side and no one will see." Jade said taking a few steps back.

"What are you . . ." Roc Royal trailed off when Jade took a running start at the wall, put one foot to it to give herself a boost then started climbing the rest of the way like a lizard.
