Today has been terrible. The last few days have been terrible. I'm not even sure how long it's been, but it's been terrible. Sure, we found the princess, but we also got captured like three times, BY THE SAME PEOPLE! Now I'm tied to the middle of a room and nobody is taking it well.
"If you hadn't dropped the ladder..." Lana starts again.
Lily starts to make a comeback but I interrupt her, "Not now! We're in extreme peril and you want to argue! Because it went so well last time," I can hear Lana scowl.
"So what's your plan?" she asks me.
"My plan is to escape," I say coolly.
"How?"
"How do you think?"
"I don't know!"
"That's the point! Nobody knows!" I yell.
"My sisters are still fine," Holly points out.
"They're not coming, Holly. Be realistic," Ally says sadly.
When Holly mentions her sisters I start to think.
"Leila never took away our...family talents," I point out.
"What could we do? Summon a torna—" Lily asks before rethinking what she was saying.
"Nari. Can you summon a tornado?" I ask. Since the Callas control the weather I figure she can do it.
"I'll try," she promises. She moves her hands a little—being tied up limits your ability to move—and a tornado forms. Below us.
"It's not gonna destroy the city, right?" I yell over the wind.
"It will," Nari says, realizing how stupid the idea was. She moves her hands again and the tornado disappears.
Tweet a random bird says in the silence.
"Tweet!" Lily says.
"Lily, you're not a bird," Jade says dryly, with a little bit of laughter mixed in.
"I'm talking to one."
"We can't understand what birds say, Lily."
"I can."
"Jade, Lily's job is helping animals, and she can talk to them, remember?" Ally reminds her.
"Oh. right."
"Tweet tweet tweet?" Lily says to the bird in birdese or whatever the fuck bird language is called.
"Tweet."
"Tweet tweetity tweet tweet."
"Tweets," the bird says before the two stop tweeting.
Lily turns to us and smiles.
"She's going to cut our ropes!" she whispers so the Savvys don't hear.
We do some quiet cheering and Lily tweets to the bird how to cut. A minute or so later, we're standing on the ground, looking up at the window.
"Out the window again?" I ask.
"Anyone got a family power or something that can help us?" Jade asks curiously, interested in seeing more magic.
"Out the window, I think," Nari says.
"Okay. Same plan as last time," I say as Nari and Jade run over to the window.
Nari picks up Holly while Jade picks me up and we're thrown out the window and onto cloud.
We stand up and I whisper yell, "Ready!" Lily and Lana fall out the window a few seconds later followed by Ally and Jade.
