Me, Hatter, and Jax sat around the table in silence. A few minutes later Cheshire, Faye, and Astra showed up. Cheshire asked, "What's with the silence?"
I said, "There's not a lot to talk about right now."
"Yes, there is. We have to figure out a plan to stop the Red Queen, Diamond, and the people helping them from killing you guys and others," Astra replied.
Jax said, "Yeah but no one's come up with anything yet so until then we sit here and think about it."
Cheshire said, "Fine." A few minutes passed and suddenly the lights started flashing.
Faye turned to Hatter and asked, "What's going on with the lights?"
He said, "I don't know. I've never seen them do this before."
"It's probably just a short or something it'll probably stop soon," Jax responded. We sat there for a couple seconds and then the lights turned off and didn't come back on.
I said, "There shi be a back up system or something for light."
Hatter said, "There is but I've never needed to use it." He got up and we followed him. He took us to where it was. Jax tried turning it on but it didn't work. We carefully walked back into the living room.
Faye said, "I guess we just wait for the lights to come back on then and hopefully they will." We stood there for a few minutes in silence. The silence was soon broken by a door opening and closing and then followed by a loud crash.
Jax said, "Stop." After that everything went silent again and the lights came back on.
I said, "So someone came in here and messed up the living room."
"Yeah, seems that way. Jax is also not in the room," Hatter replied. Cheshire disappeared and then came back about four minutes later.
He said, "He's not in the house, the backyard, or the front yard."
Faye said, "So someone took him."
"Looks that way," Asta responded.
Hatter said, "If he doesn't come back soon we'll go look for him." About an hour passed and no one really spoke.
I stood up and said, "Ok, he's not back yet it's been like an hour let's go look for him." Just then Jax walked into the living room. I turned around and asked, "Where were you?"
He said, "Diamond sent some people to come get me."
Hatter asked, "Why?"
"Because they want me to kill Sapphire. I told them I'd do it," He ran up to me and tried to hit me but I ducked and his fist hit the wall.
I asked, "Why? What did they do to you?"
He said, "It doesn't matter." He went to kick me in the side and I didn't move fast enough so he hit my ribs and I fell to the ground. He walked towards me and I put my foot behind his ankle and the other one in front of his foot Tripping him. He hit the floor and slowly got up a few seconds later. I stood up and glanced at Hatter.
While I was looking away Jax ran up to me and twisted my right arm behind my back. He slowly started to twist it and push it up so that it would break. I said, "You don't want to do this."
Cheshire said, "She's right Jax. You don't want to do this. They're inside your head. They took you and injected you with something that makes you more open to there ideas. They got inside your head and they're telling you to do things that you really don't want to do."
Faye said, "No one can snap you out off this only you can. You have to fight it, fight them." He stopped for a second and then pushed my arm up further.
I winced out of pain and said, "Don't do this." He stopped for a second and then slowly started to release my arm. When he let go I backed up and looked at him.
He said, "Sorry Sapphire."
I said, "It's all good. No harm done."
"Ok," Jax replied. A couple days passed and we didn't hear anything from Diamond, her mother, or the people that work for them.
Cheshire said, "They could be planning something big because they haven't done anything to us or attempted to do anything to us for a while."
Fays said, "Yeah, but they could be laying low for a few days because the thing with Jax back fired on them."
"Well, let's just come up with a plan while they're not trying anything right now," Astra replied.
Hatter said, "Yeah, let's do that, but we should all hey some sleep first." We all agreed then went to different bedrooms and went to sleep. A few hours later we we're all woken up by a loud crash. Hatter came into my room and whispered , " We're all meeting in my room, everyone else is already in there let's go." I followed him into his room.
When we got there I asked, "What's going on?"
Jax said, "Some people are here for you and me."
Astra said, "We need to hide you guys somewhere for a little bit."
"What about those tunnels under the kitchen," I suggested.
Faye said, "That could work we just need to sneak you guys down there."
Cheshire said, "I can just transport them there."
Jax said, "Ok." He grabbed me and Jax and we appeared in the tunnels .
Cheshire said, "Stay here, stay quiet, me or someone else from our group that you know will come get you when it's safe." We both nodded and with that he disappeared. A few minutes passed in silence and then we heard a bunch of crashes coming from above us and from different places throughout the house.
