Chapter 9

"Why would a siren come here to kill me" I asked them lifting the woman onto a chair and tying her arms, legs, and taping her mouth. 

"Sirens and Dragons have been enemies for centuries, so I think that it was sent here to kill you, or the dragon queen" Draco said 

"But why go through the trouble in killing me when the dragons haven't been in war for centuries" I asked "and why send one here when she would just be killed anyways" 

"Why do you call it a she" Wolfclaw asked "it was just sent here to kill you" 

"Because even if this woman is a soldier of my enemy" I said "I still will respect them because they were people before they were claimed by the siren's spirit, so I call her a woman because she is a woman" 

"Okay fine, but how are they supposed to talk with the tape around it's mouth" Wolfclaw asked and Draco looked at him like he was crazy before remembering that he was raised here his whole life. 

"You have a-lot to learn" he said "but siren's can talk telepathically because their voice was destroyed when their vocal cords developed specifically so that they could scream a sound so horrible and high pitched that it would send fear into the hearts of men, and break their minds" 

"Then don't take off that tape" he said and then sheepishly looked at the floor in embarrassment. 

"It's not your fault that you were born in captivity" I said 

"No it is my fault" he said "I have a stronger collar because I tried to run away too, but couldn't run from the only place that I knew, so they recaptured me and put a better and stronger collar on me so that it wouldn't happen again. They didn't bother wiping my memory or sending me to the lighthouse because I was caught willingly, but now I look back to that decision and I see how clear and easy it would've been to just escape into the outside world. Though then I might not have found you unless I smelled you nearby and went to you because I knew that you were a shifter like me" and we were all sad looking at the floor and then the siren started to rock and fight it's bonds. 

You she hissed in my head why won't you die

"I am known for not dying, but next time actually know who you are attacking before you go to kill the person" I said and it hissed "why else are you here, and how did you get into this place" 

The guards outside are dead and the door to the outside world was left wide open she hissed again but I have been sent to kill you, and if that came too difficult then capture him and use him as bait she pointed to Draco. 

"What-what is it saying" Wolfclaw asked "and why is it pointing to Draco" 

"She is saying that if she couldn't kill me then she would capture him, bring him back to wherever they lived, and use him as bait to lure me into a trap while they tortured him slowly to death" I said "and yes I am giving you the actual details, but you better not say that it is because she is a monster because I have done it to many others while they slowly died by my hands" they both stepped away from us both a little, and then Wolf claw stepped forward 

"How did she get in" he asked "and to this room" 

"The door was open, so she just walked in and killed the guards before getting to this room" I said "but I think that a couple of people got unlucky if she chose the wrong room a couple of times...which is very likely considering this place is a giant maze" 

"If the halls and the building are clear then why don't we just kill it-er-her and leave" Draco said going to the door

"Because that is exactly what they want us to do" I said "and right when we step through those doors a whole encampment of them are going to be waiting to ambush us and finish the job, but yes I do agree that we have to kill it but I want more answers" 

Why go after him when you could've taken both I said and why attack in the daytime instead of night

There are other monsters that would come out to kill you at night here, and that would make our job messier she said and I wanted to pleasure of killing you three myself and bringing your remains to the others to let them tear you apart 

You guys are nasty I said grossed out a little cannables

Yes, but killing and eating the dragon queen and a werewolf will give generations of power to us and our tribe she said and then her facial expression went dark before growing dim the Wyverns are here, and they want your blood, and so do we making this a big messy fight for prey 

I am not prey I said grabbing her throat and choking her silently but if you want death then I'll give it to you for free I opened a portal and grabbed a silver knife before slitting her throat and turning away to the two that were looking at her frozen with fear. 

"We have to get out of here" I said 

"Wait what" Wolfclaw asked "I thought that we weren't going to leave" 

"Well I don't want to be torn to pieces by some very hungry Wyvern's" I said and Draco paled as Wolfclaw looked at him for an explanation

"I'll tell you later, but we need to get out of here and fast" he said grabbing a blanket "pack your things for the road because we need to leave in three minutes" and then a roar shook the halls and I looked at Draco in a little fear because the only other time I fought a Wyvern was when I was assassinating a Rider and I accidentally wandered into it's stables. 

"Make that a minute" he said and started to pack faster than I've ever seen him move. I started to pack something too by fashioning a blanket into a carrying bag that i could stuff things into, and then I put other blankets, towels, and a pillow in it. Then we all went out the door, but they wanted to go left to the exit, but I stopped them. 

"No we go outside in plain sight then we either get eaten by Wyvern's, Sirens, or captured by surviving guards" I said and then went straight to the kitchen which had food and a hidden pass that lead away from the place and went to the sewers that we could take out of the city. 

"Where are we going then" Wolfclaw asked

"We are first going to get food that is easy to pack, and will take a while to go bad on us, and then the rest is a surprise" I said smiling devilishly at them and then going straight through the hall in-front of us. We got to the kitchen only to find the two that kidnapped me getting ready to leave too. 

"What are you two doing here" I asked making a portal and grabbing a second knife, and unsheathing the knife from my waist and pointing them at the two. 

"Wait are they the two that abducted you" Wolfclaw asked and I nodded making him go into defensive mode looking at the two very angry for some reason. 

"We are here to escape same as you if you are here" Rebecca said and they grabbed a bag that looked stuffed with everything that they would need like us. 

"Okay lets not get in the I'm going to kill you mood because we all need to escape and that is what we are going to do" Alex said turning to the nearest exit place

"I wouldn't go there" I said 

"Why not" he snapped 

"Because unless you want to get ripped apart by the Wyverns or the Sirens that are standing on the other side of that door and surrounding this place, then I suggest you actually do what I say if you want to stay alive" I said "and don't even think about peeking because if they so much as see a crack in that door then they are going to come through and eat you while others storm the place searching for me" 

"Fine" he huffed and then a roar sounded throughout the halls again heading this way "what was that" 

"That my friend was a Wyvern" Draco said and Alex and Rebecca paled

"We have to get out of here before it follows our scent and traps us here" Wolfclaw said and then turned to me as he put the last of what we needed in the bags, and then he gave us ours "where is this passage that you know about" 

"Here I said and then hit the counter and dropped into a hole sliding down its winding twisting pipe to the tunnels, and a couple seconds later the others came through one at a time and I heard a bang as the trapdoor shut. 

"How'd you know about this" Alex asked looking back at the tunnel in confusion. 

"I was in the kitchen one day making a sandwich when I hit the switch on the counter accidentally and found the tunnel" I said truthfully "I was hoping that it was their garbage chute so that we could cover our scent in case they can somehow get down it, but now that I see that it was just a forgotten thing I am actually quite annoyed" then I went down the path smelling and feeling water on the other end of the tunnel that I chose. After three hours of walking the smell got stronger and a faint scent of sewage got to my nose, but I was used to worse so it wouldn't both me as much as it would the others even with enhanced smell. 

"Are we there yet" Rebecca asked "I haven't walked like this since training" this made me and the others stop and look at them 

"Rebecca remember what we were told" Alex scolded "never mention our training to anyone" 

"Oops" was all that she said "but since they know I think that they should know what we are and why we are here" 

"No are you crazy" he said again and then saw her face and sighed "fine tell them, but no one here is to tell anyone else okay" he was directing it to us three. 

"We won't" I said before the others could say something, and after a second of silence I spoke up again "well" 

"Okay so we are Black Class Angels sent here to find and protect our queen, but we can't find them until we see their wings" Alex said 

"You see every angel has different wings like mine are blue with a little black mixed in them, and his are red and black fire patterns, but all angel wings are birdlike with feathers and light builds that can fold up against the back when not in use" Rebecca said excitedly "and the queens wings are supposedly softer than any angel's feathers, and sharp enough to cut a diamond, but we can't find them and we were stuck in that place for a while, so after we get out of this mess we are going to continue our journey to try and find her, but for now we will stick with you guys" 

"Okay then, but why was that so classified" I asked 

"It was so classified because if people found out that the highest class of angels are on earth searching for their long lost queen then we would be targets for attacks and others would be searching for the queen as well" Alex said and we stood there for a second before starting to move again. 

"It is going to start to smell horrible a couple of feet before we get to the sewers" I warned them "but it gets worse in the tunnels, but you'll get used to it. Just don't open your mouth by any holes in the wall" I heard them agree before we stepped into the area of the smell. As we went on they were gagging, but when we actually got in to sewers Alex threw up from the smell and everyone else turned a little green at the smell, but regained their composure. 

"Do you want to get rid of these in that tunnel or in here" I asked the others and they all immediately went to the tunnel that we came from and waited for me. I went over there and remembered about the trackers. I touched the side of the walls and saw all of the directions that we could go and where we could go without being met by waiting monsters, but one of them we would have to fight through to get to other angels waiting in here for some reason. Then I made a very thick wall in the middle of the tunnel that we were in and then I freed them from their metal with magnetism powers and making it detach itself from both of our necks then I tossed them in the sewer water and electrocuted them making them spark and then blow up. I then charged my body with enough electricity to knock out a city and then I told every one to hold hands. 

"What" Alex said "no I am not holding hands with them" 

"Do you want the tracker to keep on tracking us or do you want it out" I asked him and he reluctantly grabbed Draco's hand with Wolfclaw holding Rebecca's hand. I went over to them and got them ready for what I was about to do. 

"This is going to hurt guys" I said "actually it will hurt all of us...a-lot" and they nodded and I quickly grabbed Wolfclaw and Draco's hands sending my electricity through us all and frying the chips in our skin. I also located them through electrification as the electricity went through our bodies. I made them slowly climb out of our bodies making sure that they didn't damage anything that wouldn't heal and then after like ten minutes of constant screaming. Six pill-shaped trackers were dropped into the water. 

"Now's the fun part" I said smiling 

"I don't like it when you smile" Draco said "it means you are going to do something bad and dangerous for all of us" 

"Yes I am" I said and then I made a metal covering from the sewer and lit a finger on fire "this is really risky, dangerous, and it is going to be very hot in here for a while" I then pointed my finger at the small hole that I made in the silver wall and sent a small fire ball through it. Then the entire place exploded into a flash fire and I quickly made a section between the angel group with a pipe-like section going through the middle so that the amount of force from the fire wouldn't blast the wall apart, but it and the fire would go through the pipe to the other side and keep the angels safe. 

"Alex, Rebecca come here I want to show, and ask you something" I said and the two came over while the hole hissed as the fire filtered through it making a blowtorch should we need it for anything in the next ten minutes. I put a hand on the wall as the two came over and then I looked at them both. 

"None of us will hurt you while I am showing you this, but that is likely to never happen with them trying to find stuff to burn with the make-shift blow torch" I said "but I need you to trust me" 

"I trust you" Rebecca said and Alex shrugged 

"What could happen" he said and I told them to put their hands on my shoulders, and when they did I heard them gasp in a little as they saw the tunnels on fire. Then I went to different places on the way to the other angels a days walk away. 

"How is this possible" Alex said flabbergasted 

"I can control all of the elements and along with the fire I am putting static electricity in the places where the fire hasn't been yet, and that is how I can see the people and the different tunnels and where they go, and I am using the earth in a way, but not that much as the other two" I came to the picture of the group of men and I could sense the dread that was coming off of Alex and Rebecca "do you guys know them" I tried to illuminate their faces as much as I could but stopped after a good amount of detail was being shown without them knowing that I was looking at them. 

"I didn't think that they would actually follow us here" Alex said "how long have they been in these tunnels, three months" 

"Well who are they, what do they want, and what do I do with them"  I asked 

"I don't know, but I guess that you should tie them up until we get to them so that I can kill that asshole myself" Alex said 

"And I have some business to attend to with the female, but as far as I am concerned the others but those two can die" Rebecca said and so I made the walls wrap around the two that they wanted to kill themselves, and I felt them let go of my shoulder severing the connection. I worked faster wrapping the male on one side of the tunnel and the other on the side directly across from him. Then I formed heat resistant, sound and light proof metal around them trapping them against the wall and then I sealed the room fully and there was a big blast as the pressure of the fire increased tenfold and blast apart the metal creating a sound and shock-wave that went throughout the entire tunnel. I felt another hand come off from my side and I let the men die from the fire with out me watching them. I saw that Alex had put a hand on me with out me knowing it and he was looking at the wall in horror. 

"How do you know that it won't do that to us and shatter all of our bones, killing those two, injuring Draco severely, and causing us a-lot of pain as we healed" he asked 

"Because that hole balances the pressure of in here and out there as the fire burns through it" I said "but we may need more oxygen soon" I debated the amount of time that we should have left of the fire "we still have five more minutes until we can actually go through it" I sighed and lent back against the wall of the tunnel, and after three minutes the fire died down and the two tried to get me to open the doors so that we could move. I said no and then circulated cold wind through out the place cooling us down and recycling the oxygen in here. Pretty soon we all fell asleep and the place was silent for the night. I woke up to a loud metallic clanging sound and barking on the other end of this tunnel. I got up and checked the state of the wall, and I saw that they were freezing parts of the wall and then taking an axe to that part before it unfreezes and they can't break it. I sealed up the wall and made it hot enough to melt iron immediately, and then smiled as the either cursed and sat of the wall tired or threw their tool at the wall in frustration making the tool disappear into the wall of molten metal and making it instantly melt and only add to the wall, and some did both after throwing a little fit. I slept some more, and when I woke up I smelled a sleeping gas. I vacuumed all of the air out of the room into the farthest tunnel and then sealed this section of the hole and made another section just to be safe, and then I let the air come back into the section, but the others woke up and were gasping for the oxygen that wasn't there. I opened a hole in the wall again and everyone breathed in deeply before looking at me in annoyance. 

"What" I exclaimed "unless you wanted to be captured again by being put to sleep by a sleeping gas grenade then I suggest you don't be mad because that was the only way to get it out of your system, wake you up for good, and clear the gas from the room" 

"Fine" Wolfclaw snarled "but where'd you put it at"

"I made a colony of surviving rats sleep with it and only a little of it is left" I said "they are going to be out for a couple of days" 

"Oh" he said and then pointed to the wall to the sewer "can we go now" 

"Sure, but I want to do something first" I said and took away the wall before I ran to the wall on the other end of the tunnel, and then I quickly undid five grenades and put them in a pipe that I made go through the wall before sealing the wall up again. Then I shadow-traveled to the others and stepped out of the tunnel just as it exploded sending a shock-wave and making my ears ring for a couple seconds. 

"Ow" Alex yelled at me while the others were bent over covering their ears "what was that" 

"Oh I don't know" I said "just five grenades in a pipe" 

"WHAT" he yelled looking at me for a second before looking at the floor again checking his ear for blood "your crazy" he went over to Rebecca while I went to Wolfclaw and then Draco to check on them. Draco was recovering, but Wolfclaw was unconscious on the now water-less and clean floor. I heard people enter the place behind us, and I motioned for the others to hide while I stood there with two knives out. 

"Did you see how big that fire was" they were teenagers and I smelled a woman of what sixteen and two boys of fifteen, and they smelled like each-other in a way. 

"Yeah-yeah brothers we know what happened in the streets, but we can't let our parents know that we are down here" the girl said "they are probably still in the car waiting" she sounded sad, but the brothers didn't know what happened to their parents. I looked at the others and they nodded before leaving and going down a path that I marked on the walls in a color that only we could see. I stayed behind and opened a portal in-front of me and another behind me, and then I punched the wall making a metallic clang going through out the tunnel. Then I jumped in the portal and appeared in my second one with all of my armor and weapons on. I heard a gun cock, and I shifted and climbed onto the top of the wall, but instead of my regular form I went for a darker, sleeker, and faster type and I found myself as a Dark-Green Garden Dragon. I then waited for them to pass, and I hissed silently when I saw the gun. 

A gun won't do anything to me I said in her head 

"Where are you" she said pointing the gun in random places, and the two boys looked at her like she was crazy. 

"Sheesh sis why are you so tight" one of the boys said looking at their sister with the gun in her hand "why are we really down here, are our parents okay" 

Tell them I hissed in her head and she looked down at the two and sighed trying to get the courage to tell them the truth. 

"I am sorry, but when we crashed daddy and mommy were hit by a tree and they didn't make it, but they made sure that we made it by sacrificing themselves for us" she said and they both burst into tears. I made my way down the wall until I was standing in-front of them looking at her, and when she looked at me she was but wasn't surprised. 

Good job I said don't lie or keep something from anyone because it might hurt them, ever and if you want to live a good rest of your life go to the academy for the special. Trust me they will help you in ways that you couldn't imagine I started to walk away after I said the last fact a little sadly. 

"Wait" she said "how do you know that we'll fit in there, and did you" 

No I didn't fit in there, but that was because of reasons that you couldn't understand I looked at her I know that they will accept you and your brothers, but do me a favor and take care of each other because if you lose anyone else you won't feel like living anymore 

"How do you live with your losses" she asked 

I don't, but I have to accept them and who I am I said good luck and don't try to follow me I ran through the tunnels leaving three silver scales behind for them to keep as a reminder of me and what family means and should mean. I shifted as I ran and I caught up to the others in no time, but they noticed that I wasn't like myself. 

"I had a confrontation that I didn't think I would have" I said and that was all they needed before they turned around and we all ran following the path that I made for us to follow. We got to the two boxes and I made an illusion that this path was sealed off by a bunch of rocks, and I made a Silver soundproof wall behind the illusion and did the same thing for the other side of this tunnel, so that the two's screams couldn't be heard by anyone in these tunnels. I turned to the two angels and pointed them to the ones that they wanted to 'talk' to. 

"Why do you want to do this again" I asked 

"They tortured us before sending us to that place that we were stuck in for months" Alex said and then I nodded in understanding and freed them from their metal confinements. They were stuck there gasping for air as they hung on the walls because of the straps holding them there. I made another section with two doors that they could come through when they were done with what they wanted to do with them, and then I made a metal separator between the two so that they couldn't see what the other was doing. Then I got Wolfclaw and Draco to go into other room, and after them so did I closing the doors as the first scream echoes through out the whole place. After ten minutes Alex came through and I looked at him like 'what happened' 

"After a-lot of torturing and many cuts he begged for death, so I gave it to him" he said "but it will take a second for all of the blood to leave his system, or flood his lungs" and then Rebecca came in with the room smelling a little bloodier than Alex's. 

"What did you do" I asked and she looked at me evilly

"Let's just say that she isn't going to be dying for the next three hours" she said, and I set the place to light up and cause a flash fire burning everything in the area an hour from now. Then we all went out the doors and I made two small holes in the walls to level out the pressure of the inside and the outside of the chambers. Then we stepped out into the tunnels again and I took down the wall in the back of the tunnel before we all stepped through and I put it back up again for an hour. Then I hiss sounded through the tunnels and we all froze for a second, and there was something heading our way. I drew my silver swords and Wolfclaw turned into a beautiful Black and white wolf that was at least six feet tall at the shoulders. We all started to walk backwards slowly until a couple screams echoed through out the entire system, and we turned and ran away from the sounds. If we weren't running from Wyverns I would've thought that Wolfclaw struggling to turn around in the tunnels was funny, but I was being hunted and I hated being hunted with me being a hunter. I grew a rock in my hand and then threw it down one of the tunnel branches in-front of us while we took the one farthest from it and tried to be as quiet as we could. A couple of seconds after we stopped three Wyverns came barreling through the tunnel and going down the farthest tunnel from us that I threw the rock in. Then we all turned around and started to slowly tip-toe away from the entrance of the cave, and when we were at least halfway through we all turned around and started to run to the ladder on the other side that lead to somewhere in the city. 

"So where are we going to go after we get out of this mess" Alex asked 

"I don't know" I said "I still have to figure out how to get this off, and you have to find your angel queen" I looked back at him while we ran to the other end. 

Thanks for reading, and I know that this one was a little longer than the rest, but hey :-) if you gotta write until you finish then it can be as long as it needs to be. Right :-I 1-23-18, 5113 words.
