Sprite and Lays

A test

(Hailey) I heard footsteps from down the hallway. "It's the ogre!!" I screamed. I desperately searched for a weapon...a self defence weapon. Nothing. Doors next door opening and slamming. Aaaah! Sprite wanted to scream. 🙀🙀🙀 Her door opened. "Aaaah!" Went Sprite. "Yelp!" Went Lays. "Lays!!" Sprite screamed. "I'm so glad to see you!"

The girls hugged, picked up weapons, then went to the first floor. They were easily caught, though. "Why, hello there." Joe said to them. "YOU KNOW WHAT!? STOP!!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!" Sprite roared. 😡😡😡 Her fists clenched and her hands seared red. They gained heat by the second. A fireball formed into her hands. Sprite didn't know what to do with the fireball. Then she threw it at Joe. He continued to dodge them until one bigger than the others struck him in his heart. He fell to the ground unconsciously.

"Tell me how you did that!!!" Joe roared when he recovered. "Leave her alone!" Lays screamed. She didn't know what would happen, but she pointed her finger at the sky. A natural disaster could happen! Lays thought. I could end the world- it-!

The sky had a heavy downpour of...brown and pink Teddybears. "Ha! You gonna save yourself with... Teddybears!!!!???? Bbwahahaha!" Joe chuckled. "I'm not done." Lays growled. Suddenly the Teddybears lit on fire! Yet they didn't harm Sprite and Lays.

Joe chased after them doing flips and tricks and everything he had. When they got outside Joe shouted: "That's enough!" He stopped the teddy bears. Then he pointed at the girls. "Spy trick 107!" He shouted. The girls slowly rose of the ground. 😨😨🗣🗣🗣🗣 Sprite shouted.

"We're floating!!! Towards Joe!" Lays cried. They tried to get themselves away and flapped there arms and kicked their legs. "No!" Joe screamed. "Don't do that! Come back! I'm not gonna hurt you!" Joe screamed. "As if!" Sprite cried.

Joe pulled on an imaginary rope and they started getting pulled towards him. "Hurry, Sprite! Kick! Fly! Flap! Ruuuuunnnn!!!" Lays cried. Then as if they broke out of a barrier they started floating upwards. Joe fell backwards and smiled. "Good luck trying to get down!" He called. "Spy punishments have a mind of their own! And when you do come down..." He bared teeth. "I'll be there!"

"Ok, Lays. Um, let's go down now." Sprite (blond) said nervously. "Joe said spy punishments have a mind of their own. We'll just have to wait and be patient." Lays (black hair) replied.

The next day they were still floating. Sprite clutched her stomach. "I'm so hungry! And thirsty! I need to bathe!" Lays agreed.

(Brittany) FINALLY BACK!! Miss me? ***
"Hi, girls." Joe walked outside. He smirked. "Still floating?" "We are hungry!!" Lays cried. Joe nodded. From behind his back Joe took out two stale, moldy pieces of bread. "Bon appetite!" He pierced them with sticks and threw the sticks up to them. Sprite eyed the bread carefully.
"I... Don't think... This is edible." Joe smirked. "The point exactly." "Thirsty." Lays rasped. Joe took out two sponges and dipped them in vinegar. "Here." He  speared them with two other sticks.
       He poked it at their mouths. "Puah! Yuck! Wahck !" They spat. "Take it away!" Lays said. "I'm sorry! We give in! We'll die up here anyway! Just...kill us." Sprite heaved. Joe smiled. "Music to my ears.
       He took out a long sword. He pointed it between Lays and Sprite. "Who to kill first...?" He said in deep thought. He raised the sword. He swung. The girls sang painful screams. "Aaaauuuuugh!" They dropped to the ground unharmed. Joe had cut the invisible ropes!
       Lays who usually never looked afraid look terrified. "S-stay away! You- you're crazy. You're messing with my head.. I-" she choked. The girls struggles to back away. They were so weak from lack of food and water. At last they gave up. "Do what you want! Please. Please, I'm begging you. Put us out of our misery." Sprite begged.
       "Girls. Come." Joe picked the two up. He brought them inside the house. In the kitchen were 52 cookies, 29 crackers, 18 pieces of cheese, 20 glasses of warm milk (white and chocolate) and 22 glasses of water.
       "I know how hungry you are but we must get the other children first." "O-it-t other.. Childre-en?" Sprite rasped. "Stand back" Joe instructed. At that the floor immediately opened. A large group of children were chained onto walls. They were dabbled with blood all over. Thorn marks and knife marks were all over their bodies.
       Joe pressed a button on a toaster and the chains opened dropping the kids to the ground. "I-is it time? It's food day?" One boy asked in a rough voice. "Yes," Joe replied. "It is." All of the kids roughly staggered up the stairs. Kids aged 9-12 emerged from the basement. They ran to the large table and sat down at attention.
       "We have 2 new recruits. Sprite and Lays." The kids weren't listening. They were to busy shoving food down their throats. Some were drinking milk and cookies. Others had crackers, cheese and water.  "Who would like to share the rules of power for our new recruits? Tomas?" He called in a boy with dirty black hair.
       "#1. Pain gives you power.
        #2. Hunger gives you power.
        #3. Beatings give you power.
        #4. Lack of sleep gives you power.
        #5. Cruelty gives you power!"
(Savannah) "Sprite, Lays, what you experienced out there is nothing. These kids around you, 1-3 years straight they only eat once a month, get tortured every day, never bathe, never brush their hair." Sprite gasped. "Today is your last meal for one month! Prepare ladies! Prepare!!!

11:30 P.M.
Sprite's POV
After dinner we all bathed and brushed our teeth. I wondered how long it would take until one of us died. Joe led us into the cave. "Torturing starts tomorrow." With that he firmly locked the door. We got into groups and lie down on the gravel floor. I was going to sit with Lays but she was sitting with other kids. At that time I made 5 new friends. Nissa, Deneisha, Eli, Luther, and Jess.
       "Hey, new girl." Luther cooed. "It will start to grow cold. -30• Celcius (-22•F) Then, Joe releases the termites and the ants, and then... The walls become soundproof. No one will hear our screams of pain." I shivered.
       The door got thrown open. One girl and a boy were thrown in. "Tess!! Logan!!" Everyone cried. "I thought you were dead!! You survived the torture if the doom room!?" Logan quieted them down.
        He took out a lighter and lit it.
