Separated

Chapter 29

It's so dark.

I can't see.

"Hello? Mel? Is this a prank?" I nervously laugh, but it doesn't seem right.

None of this seems right.

Where am I?

As if reading my mind, a blood-stopping voice softly whispers into my ear.

"Hello there little one"

MEL POV

I race through the town, desperate. I need to find them.

Where have they gone?

I ask Basilah for Jett, and she looks at me with confusion. "I sent him where you were going, didn't you see him?" I look at her for seconds, and a terrified look crosses over me.

"Oh no..."

"Thanks Bas!" I race through, no time to explain.

Jett had been sent where I was. I was captured by Shabina and Hunter. Therefore, could he...?

I shake my head, not ready. This can't be true, no way. Perhaps Fiona knows? I run to the place where the orphans stay, asking for Fiona.

"She went out a while back, looking for you" "What?"

I thank her, and turn, before turning back. "If she comes by, tell her I am fine" The monkey agrees, and I thank her again before running off.

I can feel my muscles straining from the constant running, not to mention on how I kept on trying to escape from the net before, but venture on anyway.

FIONA POV

I lash out with a burning rage, as the satisfying shriek of my opponent echos throughout the landscape.

"B****! How dare you!" She cries, as she struggles to peel me off. I glue onto her, and bite and scratch whatever comes in my range. Shabina howls with pain and annoyance.

The wolf gasps, and gets a late reaction, as he looks unsure what to do. Than, without a second more of wasting time, he smashes into me and I fly into a tree.

"Huh" I hear an unknown voice say, and I realize it was the creature I spotted earlier with them. Before I can try to identify him/her, the black mysterious shadow disappears from view and leaps from tree to tree.

"Deal with her"

MEL POV

"What is taking me so long to find him? Surely no one could have escaped so easily and quickly..." I murmur slightly, and fling myself into a quick hiding space as I see more bad animals part of that human's cult.

I breeze through them, draining the life out of each quickly. After all, a slow death should only be saved for some, and these creatures seemed to just have been brainwashed into thinking that what they are doing is good.

I race off, and find a clearing. "Wait a second...JETT?!" I scream out, realizing that he is hidden behind a large rock. "Oh no...please no..."

I tremble, and slowly stalk forward, and when realization hits, I feel much lighter.

No blood, no wounds. Just sleeping away in a tight little ball. I rush over to take him in my arms and shake him awake, but leap back with a yelp as a quick shadow flings in front of me.

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

I smell a weird scent in the air, and suddenly feel light-headed. I feel myself drop. My eyes droop, as my brain yells "NO YOU IDIOT" and I see him.

That a**hole.

"Nighty-night foxy, don't worry, I'll take very good care of him...Till next time" He clings close to Jett, as he gets a murderous gleam in his eye. I feel my conciseness slip, and then black.

Just a void of black, like a black hole.

Sucking away everything I know.

FIONA POV

I lunge forward, ready to kill. I see red everywhere.

Surely it's not mine. I look down, and see some wounds.

They don't give pain.

I look at my opponents. I smile.

"My decorated designs look great on you" I grin, and Shabina roars.

She pounces, I dodge. We continue on.

I suddenly realize what a big fool I am.

I see a huge furred animal, realizing my mistake.

With a look of sadness and pity, the huge wolf chucks me across.

My scream echos, as the last thing I see is the peak tip of the cliff.

The last thing I hear is the rush of each layer of the mountain passing by me.

The last thing I feel is utter failure.

And the last thing I think of is them.
