Chapter 22
We walk past a sign, You are now leaving the town of Brackley.
"Finally! We've been walking for hours!" I say.
"It was more like twenty minutes Alexa." Clark says.
"True. True." I say.
"Let's rest. By that tree." Clark says, gesturing to a tree. A big tree.
"Alright." I say.
I sit down by the big tree, and so does Clark. But when I sit down, and lean my head against the tree, a feel a big stump. I turn around and look at it. It looks like, a camera.
"Hey." I shout at it.
"Who are you yelling at?" Clark asks.
"That camera. Someone has to be watching. Let's get their attention." I say.
"Hey you. If your listening, give us a sign." Clark says.
"Wait Clark. It might be Adam." I say.
Then the ground open ups, a manhole? Maybe, with stairs.
"Come on Alexa." Clark says.
"I'm coming, you don't have to ask me twice." I say.
Me and Clark climb down the hole. There's a hallway. We walk down that too. And there's a door. We open it. It's filled with people, teens in fact. About the same age as me.
"Hello?" I ask.
Everyone in the room turns around and stares at me, they're all pregnant, some have big bellies, some small. They're victims of Adam and Lee's torture. And none of them hang huge pupils, we can trust them, hopefully.
"We're here for shelter, from Adam Tock." I say.
"Then welcome!" One of the girls say.
"Let me see them." Another girl says.
She walks out of the cluster of people, she has long, wavy, brown hair and blue eyes.
"My names Loki." She says.
"Hello Loki." I say.
"Your seeking shelter from Adam Tock. Am I right?" Loki asks.
"Yes." Clark says.
"Come with me." Loki says.
We walk past the cluster of people and go down a small hallway. Into a room, a computer room, and sit in some chairs.
That's when I notice how big Loki's stomach is, and how old she is. She looks about 19, but I'm pretty sure that she's at least 8 months pregnant.
"Loki?" I ask.
"Yes?" Loki says.
"Where are we? What is this place?" I ask.
"This is a secret hideout, and don't worry, Adam doesn't know about. Nor does Lee, Will, or even his sister Elle. We do occasionally plot little, pranks, on Adam. Meanwhile we are plotting a master plan to put the, in jail, we already have a way to stop their hypnosis." Loki says.
"Wow." Clark says.
"I know". Loki says.
"Would you like an ultrasound?" Loki asks.
"I never actually thought about it. But no thanks, I don't really want cream smothered all over my belly and then a scanner put on it." I say.
"Oh don't worry. We have a different way of doing it. Come here." Loki says.
So, I do as I'm told and walk over to Loki, she is holding a scanner. It kind of looks like that divergent detecter in Insurgent. She points it up to me. And I stand still, waiting to see how many babies I'll have, and possibly they're genders. Then finally the hing starts talking in a robotic voice, just like Siri on Apple products.
"You are having twins, they are both boys. Your due date is September 7th." The thing says.
"Oh my gosh! Twins! I'm having twins." I yell.
Yeah, you are." Loki says.
She points the scanner up to Clark.
"You are having one baby, it will be a girl. Your due date is August 31." It says.
"At least I'm not having twins!" Clark says.
"Oh shut up Clark." I say.
"Whatever Alexa." Clark says.
I wonder what I should name the twins? Give me some suggestions, and if I like them, I will give you credit later in the book.
