My Gladiator Family

Chapter 34

~WINTER'S P.O.V.~

 While everyone else spent the night making out, we had to take our time to plan what to do if the B.W.W. caught up. If we get caught, it's certain death, and I can't stand the thought of my feathers being plucked off one by one. They forced us to watch a video of them murdering someone who tried to escape.. I can't even think about going back..

 "If only we knew where the gate was.." Jasper murmured to himself. "Jasper, we weren't in Hybridian long enough-" "I KNOW, Winter, I know!" he cut me off. "When everyone starts going back to school, which is in less than a month, is when we're supposed to be back.." Jasper continued talking. He stopped for a second.

 "ARRGHHH!!!" he screamed as he flipped the table over. "Jasper, calm down!!" I exclaimed as he banged on the wall. He turned around to face me to reveal his black eyes. "When did this happen..." I demanded to know, my voice breaking. "I don't know, sometime when you were gone.." he admitted. "The B.W.W. doesn't even know." he said. "At least you're improving on taking control.." I said, trying to lighten the subject. "It doesn't really matter when you can't control your heart anymore!" he said, annoyed. "But you have me, Ellen, people who care for you! We won't let him take over!" I fought. A tear fell down his face, onto his white shirt. I took a step closer to him. "Let's just get back to planning.." he said, stopping me before I could get any closer to him. He turned the table onto its legs again and fixed the world map on it again. He acted like nothing happened and he continued mumbling to himself, places to go, other stuff.

 "France, and then.." he mumbled. "France doesn't like us." I reminded him. "Oh. My. Gord. So what we stole from a croissant factory and broke the machines?!" he exclaimed. I shrugged and just let him continue. "Maybe, Mexico.." he mumbled. "Nope." I said, reminding him we can't go there either. "OH MY GORD, WINTER! I get it! The world hates us!" he exclaimed, annoyed. "Not the Spanish..?" I said, giving ideas. "Ya, but we hate them!" he reminded me. "They were just rude..." I said. He let out a huge sigh and continued studying the large map.

 Those tacos in Mexico were pretty good though..

 "Ok, where do you suggest we go?" Jasper asked me. "We want to go somewhere they wouldn't expect us, where would that be?" I asked. He thought for a second. "What if we hid while they came looking for us, and then returned here when they started looking everywhere else for us?" he said. "Wouldn't we have to go to school, then?" I asked. "Ya, I guess.." he answered. "We've never been to school before.." I reminded him. "We're un-edumacated!" he joked. "Ya, I can see why you would need school!" I said, laughing. "Hey, I had school for like, half a year more than you did!" he said. "And yet you still need school more than me!" I said. "What's 8+8?" he asked me so quickly, I didn't have time to think. "88!" I responded. "HA! IT'S 15!" he exclaimed. "Are you serious?!" I shouted. I pulled out my laptop, and typed in the search engine: 8+8

16

 "HA! HAHAHHA!" I laughed. "WHAT?!" he screamed. "At least my answer was reasonable!" I exclaimed, laughing. "My answer was ONE number off!" he shouted. "We'll hide when they come looking for us, and when they leave and start looking elsewhere, we'll go to school!" he said, to confirm our plan. We laid down and turned off the lights. "Goodnight!" I said. "Sweet dreams, sis." he said, as we both quickly fell asleep.
