The Diamond Spy

Ch. 29 Lethal Hysteria

Lethal Hysteria

My nails cut through the glass caging in my squad like butter. My nails also squidge their way through the metal chokers holding the beasts to the wall, while a single strand of my hair helps to slice the chain at the back of each choker. Raven, Strawberry and Blue have not moved as I told them to stay by the wall to test their obedience.

They act accordingly and perfectly.

Now, my beasts are free and we all exit through the large hole in the glass that I've cut and kicked right through.

I am still wearing my velvety purple heels and leotard but I feel comfortable, weirdly enough. My beasts spread out, a little nervous and head-scratching on what we must do next.

My girls aren't registering their presence, they are simply behaving like literal robots. They seemed to only react when spoken to.

"We need to be careful," Serge growls, sitting on the metal table near me, I see the fear in his eyes and the slight pale colour to his cheeks.

Dale is pacing while Ace and Jose stand on opposite ends of the door, just waiting for an order to break the lock open so we can run for it.

We were delayed, however, because Dale and Serge were both convinced this was a trap.

"We can't stay in here forever," I growl back, "We need to act."

Dale stops pacing and gives me a dramatically irritated look, his eyes furious.

"Doll – we have three casualties waiting to happen," Dale snarls, nodding towards the girls he didn't want coming with us.

"They're dead here anyway," I hiss, "They're like slaves; they deserve a chance at freedom. Plus, they listen to me..." I turn around and as I meet their gazes, all three meet mine, a little more confident this time, "Step forward," I ask and right on time, Raven, Strawberry and Blue step forward in complete sync.

"That's just creepy," Ace mutters from the side of the door and I glare at him in protection of them.

"Don't be mean –" I'm about to lose my cool, when everyone simultaneously hears foot falls just outside the door and a loud robust laugh as the door knob twitches.

"Let's see these caged beasts and that dumb whore –!" No freaking way, of course he came to gloat!

The door abruptly swings open, all eyes on the fat oaf – Prof. Hedgy standing outside the door with Lumen. Prof. Hedgy nearly slips right off an imaginary banana peel when he sees a room full of unrestrained human weapons.

"It's a breach!" Lumen yells out, pulling Prof. Hedgy backwards by the collar he screams at him to move, "Run! You fat lump of root, fat and water retention! Run! I'm calling backup!"

We all watch, even the girls watch, as Prof. Hedgy stomps away to the right and Lumen sprints to the left.

"Too fucking easy," Serge growls under his breath, "Move out –"

"Move out," Dale snarls a second later than Serge, then Dale turns back to his member who has stepped out of line. I duck as Dale cuffs him on the back off the head, "What have I been doing differently, huh? Move your lit ass!"

"Just nerves, boss," Serge shrugs, smiling guiltily as he then stalks past and then Dale's fury is on me. I raise an eyebrow and he just shakes his head in exasperation

"Apparently, I'm not making myself clear," he threatens me with a tilt to his head and I make the mistake of hesitating too long, "That means you too, kitten... move it... now," the tone he uses is something not to be messed with. I nod quickly and I jump forward, almost running past my own squad.
