The Jewels; Mother of Pearl (#ABA2017)

Chapter Eight

Lola went straight past the elevator and went straight to the stairs, ignoring any odd looks she was getting from any of the autopsy doctors that were in the halls.

She grabbed the doorknob to the stairwell and opened it almost angrily and started running up the stairs, always looking behind her to make sure nobody was chasing her, and constantly looking up to make sure nothing was going to drop down to her.

As she ran she stumbled several times, almost slamming her head against the stairs, each time images of the woman turning into an Angel haunted her. She ran through the first door she found, she looked around and saw other Dark Guards and her heart leaped through the roof as she ran through the hallways and eventually came to a lobby.

She nearly fell over when she managed to get into the lobby, she must've looked like a deranged crazy person, and almost everybody in the room looked at her like that. Even the girl handcuffed to the chair looked at Lola with amused disbelief.

Lola looked around for the door and she almost forgot where the door was, she saw it below the sign that said exit. But just as she was about to run to it, someone grabbed her from behind and the muffled voice of one of the guards yelled, "We have an escapee!" he yelled. Nearly all the guards jumped to their feet and braced themselves as if she were still loose.

Lola screamed in reply and lashed out at the guard who held her, everybody was shocked by a little girl beating up a guard and succeeding in making him fall over. When another guard came at her she kicked him in the gut and he groaned as he held his stomach and kneeled over. Lola tried to run again, she turned, a guard was running from behind and when she looked forwards there was someone coming at her from the front.

Lola yelped in fear as she ducked, covering her head, and the guards tripped over Lola and slammed into each other.

Lola went wide eyed as she looked at the guards falling over beside her.

The people cuffed to the chairs either rooted her on or was laughing. Lola was trying to simply breathe as she crawled to the door, her arms nearly collapsing beneath her because of how much they shook. Someone suddenly grabbed the back of her shirt and picked her up; when she struggled in their grip they ended up giving her a giant hug. Her arms forced to her side and her legs flailing uselessly.

"No please! Let me go, let me go!" Lola screeched.

The girl in the cuffs watched as Lola was shoved into a closet for the time being because of all the struggling. She watched as Lola got up and slammed against the door just as it closed. The guard leaned against the door as some other guards talked to him.

The girl was officially amused, she continued to chew her gum in silence, when the guy next to him continued to mutter to himself and pull against the cuffs. Beside him was the cooler looking man who looked like he might attack at any point. A smile slipped on her lips as she continued to chew, "hey buddy," she said, he looked at her, "what you in for?" she asked.

"What's it to you, sweet cheeks?" he asked.

She smiled, "I bet my reason is better than yours," she informed.

He smiled, "yeah, I doubt that," he replied amused.

She smiled again as she spat at him, her gum sticking to the side of his head, he gasped in disbelief. He tried to get the gum off his head, but his hands were restricted from the hand cuffs. He cursed at the girl who started mocking him with faces, "what are you gonna do about it?" she urged as she made another face.

He growled as he stood up, taking the chair with him and went to attack, but hit the guy in between them with the chair. The girl's chair was forced to fall over, breaking the arm where her cuffs were tied around. The fidgety guy growled and snarled like a dog, the other guy growled as he looked at the girl who was still lying on the floor.
