Trapped~Sky (written by)

We stood on the side of the road, beside the stolen convertalbe that I had refused to ditch. Its red paint shimmering even against the dull gray sky. Rain was gushing out of the sky in sheets of falling tears. For once the water felt good against my nervous skin.

People walked past us in clusters, holding thier shopping bags alittle more tightly as they passed us. One man in a yellow rain coat stopped beside us and looked at Azul in a creepy way, curling up his lips in a smile. I was prepared to smack him without mercy if he took another step closer. Instead he pivited on his foot towards me. The smile remaining. I saw Zane reaching for the gun held in his pocket. Yet it wasn't needed because the man bent down on the ground and picked up a shining copper penny before my foot. I couldn't resist the urge to stomp on his hand. Instead of yelping he just stood up. Staring at me for a few minutes. "Good day,"he said in a sinister voice that sent a chill down my spine, and he walked away.

Zane had drapped his arm around me in a pertective way. I liked the feel of his limb against my back. Adraine and Dune stood in the corner, not touching but still fairly close. Behind us on the side of the street the twins were splashing in a puddle that had accumulated because of rain. They were laughing despite the danger that lurked ahead. I evied them as they splashed throught the piles of water, happy and somewhat clueless. Yet how could i not be happy for them? Zane turned his head towards me and whispered in his soft voice that it would be alright. I wasn't convinced, niether was he.

A huge building stood before us. It was gangly and its size made me shudder. The whole brick mass was tilted to the right like a huge tree about to fall. "Are you sure this is the right place?" I asked A-drain, she nodded her head calmly. None of us were sure what lurked inside this vast empty building but we had recieved notes demanding we meet someone in here. The threats to risky then the actaully thought of the person behind them. I wasn't sure but at the middle floor of the building I thought I saw a spark of light, almost as if the building was aflame. But of coarse that was crazy and my eyes were just playing tricks on me.

Adraine lead the way towards the structer. I gulped as she turned the knob opening the door. She slowly walked inside. Dune still close behind her. Zane let his arm fall but grabbed for my hand in exchange. Azul followed popping bubbles with her bubble gum and complaining about the dirt that caked parts of the walls. The twins just followed not saying to much about anything.

"This is sooooooooo lame," Azul said her voice annoyed. I looked back at her and rolled my eyes.

"Do you have a better idea?" Adraine snapped cursing under her breathe.

"Yup," Azul said letting a huge pink bubble pop and stick to her face in a sticky. mess. She couldn't say much else as she peeled the goo off her face.

The halls were empty and the front room looked to be an abondoned service desk. "Lets just leave," Sparrow said, her voice full of warning as if she could sense something we couldn't.

Thats when the explosion happened. Banging against the walls like a trillion guns shotting at the same time. Fire was started to smolder towards us as we began to sprint towards the exit. Yet the door we had entered in had been locked.

"SPIDER!!!" Azul screamed, jumping up and down trying to avoid it. If smoke wouldn't have been starting to enter the room I would have laughed. Azul had a tramatic fear of spiders due to an expirement that had happened to her. The scientists had used a trantala.

Zane tugged on my hand pulling me towards a window, there was nothing to break it with so I watched him use his spare elbow. The glass shattered into tiny fragments as he helped me out.

Sirens started to ring down the street as we could hear a fire department coming. By the time they approached the building we had all safely leapt into the stolen convertable and sped away from the scene...
