Chapter 5 is here! Please comment!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maria was getting more tense every second. The first, second, and third groups had gone and weren't back yet. Her's was the fifth group, the last, and she knew that the man wanted her tense and nervous just because he liked things that way: victims terrified, not knowing what's going on, and knowing that there was nothing they could do about it. The man himself liked it cool and comfortable while he watched others suffer. Maria loathed him. She looked up as te door opened again and the forth group was taken out. She wouldn't just lie back and let them do this. She'd fight. They's have to force her to do... what are they going to do anyway? She thought. She frowned. No one had said. It must be too horrible. She thought savagely. She looked up as the door opened again. It was now or never.
Deada and Devic began to lead the Phases-to-be out of the room. Just as she was herding them around a corner, however, Devic gave a gasp. Deada turned around just in time to see Maria punch him hard in the stomach. He doubled over and Maria pushed past him. Deada acted immediately. She launched herself at the girl, just as Devic sprang at her himself. They collided in midair, just over Maria and they fell onto her. Deada had no idea what was happening or who was on or under her. She was fighting and being fought both at the same time. Something heavy landed on her arm and she struggled to pull herself free. Eventually she managed to grab onto Maria's shirt and drag her up, just as Devic rolled off her. Deada stood up, pulling Maria up too. For once Devic wasn't smiling. His face was twisted with rage. "Do you mind" He spat, rolling up his sleeves "If I just kill her for that?" He gathered his legs underneath him, ready to pounce... But Deada said "I do mind, Devic. She's important. You're not to go losing your temper over such a small matter."
"Don't patronize me." Devic hissed. Deada just turned away from him. She was sick of him. She hated him. But, of course, Devic felt the same, and as she turned away, she heard him growling. It was a low, quiet sound, but Deada knew what was coming a split second before it did, which probably saved her life. She had just enough time to push Maria away and turn to defend herself before Devic pounced. Except it was a sleek, golden puma that pounced, not a seemingly young man with golden hair and a handsome face. Deada shrieked with rage, and began to phase...
Maria hurtled into a wall. She'd been so close... but wait. They were both completely distracted, if she could just sneak past them... but then she heard Deada's scream, and found herself running towards the sleek golden puma instead of the door. She remembered the way Deada had dived on top of the boy, and tried to copy the movement and positioning of the arms and legs. She pushed off the ground, aiming upwards, and came down on one side of the puma, knocking it off Deada who'd turned into the eagle again. She was vaguely aware of gasps and screams coming from her group, but she didn't really care. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. She saw the puma falling off the eagle, which was turning back into Deada again. With Deada's help, they managed to pin the puma down until it was calm enough to turn back into a man again. Maria turned her head to look at Deada. She was scratched, bruised, and still had feathers in some places, but she was smiling. No, grinning. Thought Maria. God, did she enjoy that?! There was now a rather sheepish looking man where the puma had been. Maria and Deada got off him and Deada turned to Maria. "Thanks." She said slightly breathlessly. "No problem." Answered Maria. A wall built between them had collapsed. They smiled at each other. "Can we just turn them, now?" Said a rather annoyed voice from the floor. "Sure we can, Devic. Maria, just follow me..." Maria went with Deada trustingly. Turning into an animal might not be so bad if it meant she could humiliate Devic...
