Sea and Sky

Chapter Twelve

When harry finally woke up, he was back in a small glass box. He looked around groggily before the reality of his situation struck him. His hands shot to his stomach.

No bandage, and he still had a large baby bump.

Harry choked back a sob in relief, harry wrapped his arms around his bump, hugging it tightly, leaning down to the best of his ability. When he regains himself, he begins to check the rest of his body for anything the people may have done.

Nothing apart from a few scale's missing and a tiny cut in his tail near his hip.

This confuses harry, why would they knock him out just to move him? He shakes his head and turns over, squirming his way carefully around in the tight space, almost not managing it until he's facing the small window just as a brown-something goes by it. Harry pushed himself up onto an elbow, squinting his eyes. Then he hears a loud bang and jumps slightly, his eyes going wide in fear at the violent sound.

After a few minutes of nothing, the little bit of hope harry had gained dissipated and he lowered himself down off his elbow and put an arm under his head, which was pressed to the side of the tank, as to avoid hurting his neck any more then it already was. Harry winced as a pain shot through his tail, it was curled in a very uncomfortable position, almost bend double, pushed past his flexibility. Harry wanted to go home, harry wanted Louis to hold him, to tell him everything was going to be all right. A tear escaped his eye, and dissolved into the water around harry without him realizing it and he shuts his eyes tight, clutching his belly as a pain would its way around his spine and the taut skin of his lower belly. Harry let out a shaky breath and rubbed his belly gently, whispering

"Okay Babies, this is not the time okay?" he says, carefully rolling back the other way to see if that would elliviate any of the pain and discomfort he was in.

and when he opens his eyes, he's not prepared for what he see's before him.

Its almost an hour before Louis comes up with a plan. He isn't proud of this plan, but if anyone asked he would put utmost confidence in it. Even though it only consisted of diving back into the skylight and searching the building again. He would need a diversion though. That distraction would, of course come in the form of Ayla.

"Ayla, i need you help" Louis says, landing silently in the grass behind them, making all three girls jump in fright and turn to look at him.

"Of course you do" She says rolling her eyes and crossing her arms with a smirk.

"I need a diversion, big enough to draw all the guards out of the compound" he asks "You think you can do that?"

"I can do that, as long as I'm not the one who needs rescuing afterwards" Louis nods and smiles

"I think i can make that happen, but what are we going to do about the guns?" He asks and she shrugs.

"I think i can handle those" she says and Louis nods

"Okay, do you want me to lift you over the wall or do you think jumping over would be the best?" He asks her and she shrugs

"I think jumping over would cause more of a diversion, theres guards all along the wall" she says and louis nods

"Sounds good, give me to the count of ten to get into position before you jump the wall, then do your best to draw as many guards as you can get outside. Just don't get caught, if you feel like your in real trouble, bail okay?" He tells her and she nods

"Of course, don't worry about me, get harry out of there" she assures him, and then gets out of the reeds, rubbing the mud off of her tail. She turns back to Lauren, and hands her Fern. She takes the harpy child, but reluctantly.
