Abduction

Chapter 15: Raven

"What do you mean you can't see me?" Raven asked, "I can see you perfectly fine."

"I know!" Caiden told her once again, "It's like when we were preparing to leave, the invisible can see the visible but the visible can't see the invisible!"

"Gods, I seriously wish we could see each other,"she said, "It's way too hard to work in a group like this."

Suddenly, Raven heard a extremely loud pop and Caiden started staring at her like she was on fire.

"What?!?" she snapped.

Raven looked down and she let out a loud yelp, she was wearing a strapless, sparkly, violet ball gown and sparkly, indigo, high heels. Then she snapped at Caiden.

"You know, it's not polite to stare people!"

"Sorry, but it looks kind of weird 'cause you'd probably never wear that."

Raven glared daggers at him and said, "God, I wish I was just wearing something good for fighting."

Raven heard a hiss and she was wearing combat boots, a light brown leather jacket, and ripped skinny jeans.

"That's better by so much."

"Let's go," Caiden said, "I seriously wish that we and everybody else that is out of their cell were in the same group."

Suddenly, everything seemed to blur and then Raven and Caiden found themselves in a hallway with Ivy, Isaac, Ethan, Justin, Liam, Terra, Mason, Lucy, Sarah, Liz, Grant, Mike, and Jessie.

"Well, this is a nice regrouping," Ethan said.

"Okay then. . . Now do you guys wanna travel in groups or all together?" Ivy asked.

"All together," Caiden told her, "But first let's talk about what happened while we were separated."

They each took turns telling each other what happened to them, like when Justin's group ran from a herd of ghostly oxen and when Ethan's team fought a fiery fake dragon.

"Listen guys," Caiden told them, "there's been stuff that's extremely weird going on on this ship. Like really, really, really weird."

"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.

"Well, one second I was invisible and the next I was visible but wearing a prom dress," Raven said, "Then I was wearing this, then we were transported here."

"I have to say that that is incredibly weird," Mason agreed.

"Umm. . ," Grant mumbled, "Can we have a head count?"

"There are fifteen of us now," Isaac told him, "By the way, where were you guys before Ivy's team found you?"

"Jessie, Sarah, Mason, Mike, Liz, Lucy, and I, for some reason, were each in our own cell. Then Ivy's group came and got us out."

"Why weren't there more of you?" Liam asked.

"I have no idea," Grant said

"We could talk to each other and we kept asking each other that," Mason told them.

"Did they feed you guys?" Terra asked.

"Yeah," Mike answered, "Why?"

"We'll talk about that later," Raven said, "This has been a nice time to catch up with each other and relax but we still need to keep moving."

"Yeah," Mike agreed, "We need to go."

They started running through the hallways. After about half an hour Lucy started complaining.

"How can you people run for so long?" She whined.

"How can you not run for this long?" Raven mimicked.

"Isaac, Caiden, Raven, and I were walking for ever on Tuesday and Wednesday," Ivy said, "But Kat was with us too," she added gloomily.

"Where is Kat anyway?" Liam asked

"She died in a simulation," Caiden explained, "And when you die in a simulation and don't get out you can never leave or you cease to exist."

Then, for some reason, they all stopped running at the same time. Looking at something behind them.

Their classmates.
