Chapter twelve The Iopy
The air horn blows so loudly I bolt upward in a flash. Really Miles? I thought, feeling like punching him.
"Get up!" He says sternly, and I almost do what he tells me. "If you don't get up I will contact the king."
Everyone sits up, except me.
"Now." He says.
I don't answer.
"Last chance, Jackson get up!" He yells. I lie there for a few seconds then feel a excruciating pain enter my body causing me to writhe on the floor. I try to open my mouth to scream out in pain but I couldn't.
"Stop it!" I hear a distant voice call and it seemed to echo. Until my vision started to blur and darkness covered my vision.
I wake slowly, my eyes fluttering open and what I see surprises me. I'm alone. I thought. Did they actually just leave me? Is this a trick?
I sit up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Hunger starts gnawing at my stomach, begging for food. My throat is dry from lack of water. I wonder how long it's been since I'd had any water.
I stand up and slowly walk out of the cave. The cave was damp and cold, it smelled like eggs that were beginning to rot. Every movement felt like a knife digging into my flesh. It pained me to even take a step. My head felt heavy as I walked on.
"Water," I thought. "I need water..."
"Water," as I spoke it sounded as if my voice had turned into a low growl.
As I walked on I heard what may be the sound of flowing water. I walked and walked until I saw it. The most cruel thing ever. A sound machine.
"Why?" I said quietly until it turned into a painful scream. "Why do you have to be so cruel?"
I walked slowly until I made it to the cave. Rocks littered the ground. I hadn't noticed them before. I picked up a rock and threw it with as much strength as I had. It struck the wall with a large clang made a dent in the rock, and hit the ground. Rock after rock was thrown until something amazing happened. A drop of water fell from a crack in the wall caused by the rocks. I threw more and more rocks until water starts gushing from the hole in the rock I drank and drank until I was satisfied. As I drank I heard a squawk but not just a regular bird squawk. I noticed that sound and my life flashed before my eyes. Miles had saved me from one when we lived together. The Iopy which only killed the closest living thing. It is blind and deaf but uses its squawk as a use of echolocation. And is the most dangerous creature. Created by the king.
"Have a good time with the Iopy!" Said my worst enemy. The king. "Oh so now I'm your worst enemy, I thought it was Miles."
"Get out of my head!" I screamed.
"You really shouldn't have done that," he said.
"Shut up, everyone knows that the Iopy can't hear." I said.
"They couldn't, until now."
