Chapter 10

Blacking out comes my way, too often

   Even though I didn't know what it was I clung onto it for dear life. I didn't want to whack into railing. I then reached up my other hand and grabbed on. I then looked up and saw a rope, but a smooth one. And when you held onto it it had something in the smooth rope that helped you get a better grip. I then started brainstorming ideas, as I couldn't just let go as I was positioned right above the middle of the spiraling staircase, just to the outside of the railing. Wait, Wait!... If I was hanging onto a rope above me and I was to the outside of the railing, how could I be holding onto something above me. I looked up again. This rope, was just floating in mid air, but stuck in mid air. When I tried to yank on it and tug on it, it wouldn't budge.
    In mid air... In mid air I thought. How is this possible? I then listened to the sounds around me. The boys were almost 2 more spirals up. How did they not see me?... I thought. I looked around me, looking at my surroundings. There was a mirror, the staircase, obviously, the boys... The mirror! I adjusted my head, still holding onto the rope, and stared into the mirror. All of my surroundings were there, but I wasn't showing up in the mirror. I'm invisible! That was why the boys didn't see me. I was thinking that, probably, as long as I held onto the rope, I would be invisible, but when I let go, I would appear.
   Even though the rope helped my keep a grip with my hands, my arms were getting really tired. I need to find a way to get back onto the staircase. I looked up at my hand and pulled myself up, level with wrists. I looked at my watch. I was 35 minutes late to IM. People will probably come looking for me soon. I then thought of an idea and thought to myself, Duh!... I just start swaying and then let go when I was tilted into the staircase platform and let go from the rope. Easy. I might scrape my hands, but that is better than just hanging here... OK then. 1, 2, 3,... I was about to jump when suddenly, something clasped onto my hand, squeezing it so tightly, my hand started to turn purple. Trying not to cry, I looked up and saw a stone hand. What in the world? I thought. Then the stone hand started to crumble. I then did my original plan and landed on the staircase platform with a quiet thud. I then started running down a couple flights of stairs and then came to an elevator  I pressed the up button, stood to the side of it, to make sure no one would see me if there was someone in there... Ugh, Oh, I thought as two boys came out the elevators, the ones that were looking for me. I slid round the corner of the elevator box. I then remembered I still am wearing my back brace. How I didn't remember earlier, I'll never know.
      8 minutes passed, as the boys talked and talked. I then thought, why do I not want to be found? They could have just taken me to IM and I would not have been almost 45 minutes late to IM. Why did I run away from them the first time? Was it because I was mad that Dave wasn't my bodyguard anymore? Gloriana is going to kill me, no, wait. Gloriana doesn't get angry and is the sweetest, most understanding person you will ever meet. And it isn't safe for me to be out here alone if a spy is around and could just jump out and kill me. Now, that's the person who would kill me. 
      My thoughts were interrupted by a loud sound. A crashing, fighting, shouting noise. I peered round the corner to see what was happening. Two men in black were fighting Liam and Fred. I had to do something. I spun back round when Liam and Fred were facing my way and the men in black, the other way. I could sneak up on the spies and hit their pressure points as Kaka taught me, but by the time I did one, the other would be trying to kill me. I looked round the corner and Liam caught my eye. At that moment on of the men in black brought Liam down and started shouting at him. "Where is she? Where is the Snow Pegasus? Huh?" Liam didn't answer. The other man in black then got Fred and started questioning him. "Where is Snow Pegasus? You know, don't you?" Fred then caught my eye. His eye was full of bravery and courage. He wasn't going to tell a sole, that I was right behind them. I turned my focus to Liam. His eyes are full fright and mad. I knew I had to do something, but I couldn't. My back brace restrained me from doing advanced moves to even little beginner moves. I wanted to rip my back brace off, but I couldn't reach the 8 straps that attached it to my back. The doctor also said for two weeks I can't do any training, or fighting, or anything. I told myself, back in the hospital, I was going to actually do what he said, but I wasn't expecting this and I'm sure my doctor wasn't expecting this either. This is all my fault. If I had just gone to IM, this wouldn't have happened. I had to do something. These guys are in danger of dying because of me. At this thought I jumped out and said "Looking for me?" The men in black whirled around. The one closer to me shouted to the other and said "Hold on to these guys. I'll get her." He ran toward me about to punch me in the head, when I hit 2 of his pressure points, 3, 4, 5 pressure points and he fell to the ground. I turned to the other man. I realized that the men in black had been whipping my bodyguards. The man then shoved Liam and Fred to the side. He stared at me for a very long time and then ran. He must have realized I had a back brace and came at me from an angle I couldn't pressure point him. He was about to knock me to my feet when I thought, I am going to be dead if I don't do some real moves or fighting. 
       So, as he swung his leg at mine, I did a back flip. Sorry doctor, I never real follow the rules. I was expecting this to hurt my back a ton, but it didn't. I stood face to face with my opponent. He grabbed me by the arms and said "You're a clever one, aren't you?" As he said this he brought me down to the ground, on my knees. My back, now, to painful to do anything. His hand came fast toward my head, as I heard footsteps and shouts. The man though didn't hesitate punching, and his hand came whamming into my head. I knew I had a couple seconds until I would black out. I felt another punch, harder this time come colliding into my head again and again. I had two seconds left of light, when a figure came running up the stairs. He did a flip and knocked the man to the ground. It was Malcom. The guy he had knocked to the ground was unconscious. He then came rushing to me shouting my name, as Dave, Gloriana, Gloriana's bodyguards, the Importants, Light Chesna spies and fighters came toward me, as I blacked out.
