chapter 12: The Great Escape

Miracle went up the elevator and it came up to the lab. "It's so pink!" she exclaimed, seeming shocked. This was part of her plan to distract Frank.

"Pink?" Frank raised an eyebrow, turning to Miracle. "What are you going on about, girl?"

Miracle gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry, vas I being rude?" she asked him, tilting her head. "And it matches your gloves!" 

"Yes...." Frank raised an eyebrow and walked toward the girl as he took off his leather jacket and put it around his arm. "You've been acting very strange lately, are you neglecting your duties?"

"No... Oh, my, I love your jacket!" she exclaimed, plucking it from his arm before 'realizing' what she had just done. She eeped, ducked a grab and then headed for the hole in the wall, the jacket still in her hold. "Oh, my, your wall has a hole in it!" 

"Miracle..." Frank growled, then tried an eerily kind voice as he held out his hand. "Bring back my jacket now..." Frank stepped forward to her with a creepy, sadistic grin he always wore. "Get out of that hole and BRING ME MY JACKET, PLEASE!?" his face grew beet red under his pale makeup. 

Miracle pretended to think. "You want it? Come and get it!" She said, heading to the door of the room that had an entrance to the lab. 

"MIRACLE!!!" Frank growled as vicious as a bloodthirsty carnivore of the wild and proceeded to chase her. 

Miracle gave a shriek before giggling madly. She made sure to keep away from the stairs, for now at least.

Magenta frowned in worry but went and waited for LP so she could help sneak her out. She tapped her foot, wanting to make sure they all got LP out safe first and hoping Miracle would be alright.

"Miracle's distracting Frank," Riff told his sister as he watched. "He looks very angry with her..."

Magenta looked into the room. "LP, Rocky shift it!" she called, knowing now was the time to leave. 

Riff shook his fists as it looked like Frank was going to hurt Miracle, but he tried his best to remain calm. 

Rocky hefted the bag over his shoulder and held out his arm for LP to take so he could lift her so they could go fast. 

LP clung onto Rocky's arm. "Coming, Aunt Magenta!" LP cried, obediently to Magenta's calling earlier.

Magenta took Riff's hand. She then led Rocky, who was holding LP, and Riff Raff to the stairs, making sure they wouldn't be caught. Rocky was lifting LP up and following Magenta and Riff Raff quickly.

"Uncle Riff!" LP called out.

Riff turned his head to her as they ran.

"I never felt more alive in all my life!" 

Riff smiled at her, then focused back on running for dear life.

Rocky followed, actually pretty quiet as they ran. He was actually enjoying the chance to run.

Magenta led them down the stairs. She wanted to make sure that LP was out as Miracle was putting herself in danger for that, and she was proud to have such a brave daughter. "Riff, is the door open?" she asked, quietly.

Riff nodded and showed the door was accessible to get out while they're all still alive. LP then sniffled her nose and felt a twinge inside her body. She then let out quiet wheezes and sneezed so loud it echoed around the castle.

"What was that?" Frank turned his head in suspicion. He knew his daughter's noises almost anywhere, like many Transylvanians did with their young.

Miracle looked at him. "LP is in her room, Duh! Now, is the badges vorth much?" she asked. She stopped a short second to keep him on her trail while looking like she may pull a few off.
