Chapter 22 is here. about 3 more chapters left! Contains: yelling, Fighting, if there's anything else let me know please! Chapter 22. Cornered (Wonder) “I’m glad you made it just in time!” Mr. Morningstar said, raising his arms. “Let them go!” Eclipse shouted. “But why would I do that?” Mr. Morningstar said, smiling at Eclipse. I tried moving towards Eclipse but the employees pointed the staff closer to my face. I put my hands up. “What do you want from us?!” Eclipse yelled, “we just want to leave this stupid place!” “Oh you guys can leave.” Liz started. “Wait what?” Eclipse asked. “Yeah! I said you can leave! But,” Liz pointed over to me, “she has to stay.” Liz smirked. “What? No! Never! We aren’t leaving without Wonder!” Eclipse said. “It’s the only way to not endanger your friends,” Liz said in a sing-song tone. The employees stepped closer to us. I looked over to Cooki and winked. I stared at the staff that one of the employees was holding, it suddenly came to my hands then I stabbed the employee in front of me. They screamed then collapsed to the ground. Liz turned around and gasped. “GET HER!” Liz yelled. The employees came to me but I managed to stab some of them. I grabbed a few of the staff’s and tossed them to my friends. Cooki started to swing hers like a baseball bat. Hitting everyone in her path. I started to smack and stab the employees that were in my way. I grabbed an extra staff and looked over to Eclipse. “Heads up!” I yelled, and I threw it at her. She grabbed it and started to attack some employees. I was having a blast until a burning feeling came to my neck. I screamed and collapsed to the ground. Flashbacks started to form in my head again. I grunted as I hit the floor. I tried to get back up but someone’s foot held me down on the ground. I heard my friends grunting as well. “Let me go!” I yelled. “Oh Wonder, do you really think it's that simple?” Liz said, pulling me up. An employee was holding my arms together. “Did you really think you could fight your way out of this?” She put her hand on my chin. I wanted to bite it off. “Leave me and my friends alone Liz.” I said, gritting my teeth. “I just want you back.” She said, innocently. “Shut up, Shut up, SHUT UP!” I yelled and I kicked her away and the employee who held my arms together. I ran over to my friends and set them free. Suddenly, a bunch of employees came out of nowhere. Me and my friends and we formed a circle next to each other. “What do we do? There’s too many!” Cooki said, her fists raised. “I know! HIMNARIO!” Eclipse yelled. I looked at her, confused. Suddenly, that other monster came and stared at us. “Yes! Help us please Jaxtyn! Ignore him, just fight how you want, except my friends.” She said, The creature started to go insane and started to attack the employees. The staff’s flew at us. I grabbed one and started to fight as well. “Jeez Eclipse you be-friended another one of these?” I said, while stabbing an employee. “Hey they are nice!” She said, smiling. “I guess. But Trevor bit my hand off!” I said, raising my arm without my hand. “Hey he apologized.” Eclipse said. We managed to fight off all of the employees. I saw the exit to the main area of Omega mart. “Hurry guys over here!” I yelled, and we started running towards it. “Come on Jaxtyn!” Eclipse yelled. “Get back here!” Mr. Morningstar yelled. We exited out the room and I closed the door behind me, “Hurry! Someone find something to block this door!” I said. Zion came and put a chair on the handle. I walked slowly away from the door. It made the door stay in place. I sighed. “Is everyone ok?” I said, breathing hard. Everyone nodded. “I don’t think that chair will hold long, we should find somewhere to hide.” Ash said. “You’re right, let's go look somewhere.” Eclipse said. We started to look around for somewhere to hide for a bit. We saw this mini store. Nothing was inside of it but just empty selves. “Lets just hide here.” I said, pointing at it. We walked in and I looked around. I saw a gate that we could push down to close off the entrance. I jumped up and pushed it down. It made the store a bit dark but there was still a bit of light shining from the main area through the door. I sighed then walked over to Zion to sit next to him. My mind started to race on how we could escape this place. The main door won’t open, so how do we leave? I put my hand up on the spot they burned on my neck. “You ok?” Zion asked, his voice low. I forced a smile, “Just trying to survive.” “I don’t think we are safe here for long. We need a plan.” Cooki said, looking at the gate. “Yeah, we are running out of options.” Xander said, “Mr. Morningstar and Liz aren’t going to stop. We’ve seen his ability to track us.” I nodded. “Our number one goal is to get out of here. But how?” I said.
Zion looked around and found a large piece of rolled up paper. He placed it on the ground and rolled it out. It was a map of Omega mart. “It looks like there’s another exit in the very back of the building.” He said, pointing at it, “we somehow have to get there. But we can’t right now because Mr. Morningstar and Liz are guarding our only way to it.” “We could find another way.” Eclipse said. Suddenly, there was a bang from the gate. They knew we were here. I panicked. “They are trying to get in!” I said. “We need to leave, now!” Zion said, picking up the map. I looked around the small empty store for anything that could help us escape.There had to be something. The selves were useless, and there weren't any vents that we could use. Then I saw a backdoor leading somewhere by the staff counter. “There!” I pointed. Without hesitation, we all ran out the door and into a hallway. We looked around. The hallway looked like it went on for hours. Suddenly I heard someone running down the hall. I looked down the hallway, and I saw employees. “Guys, let's split up! Three of us go down there and three of us go up here!” I said, pointing down the hall and a door in front of us. I went up with Eclipse and Zion while Cooki went with Ash and Xander. We ran down the door and it led to stairs. We started to climb up them when it led to another door. “Come on another one?” Eclipse said, pushing the door open. It leads out to the second floor of Omega mart! It was just a balcony thing that had a gap so that we could see the 1st floor of Omega mart. I walked over to the gate and peered over down to the 1st floor to see what was happening. I saw Mr. Morningstar, Liz, and their employees. I could hear them talking. I started to listen. “How many times do they have to escape us Morningstar!” Liz said. “I know, I’ll get your little pet. We have a deal, you know!” He said. “What about her friends as well? What are you going to do with them?” Liz asked. “Well first of all, I want my daughter back of course,” He said, looking at the ground. “I thought you hated her.” “Shut up! Secondly, I’ll probably kill her friends, they’ve seen too much!” “Good idea. You don’t want to go out of business.” “Oh you're the one to talk.” “Oh shut up. It wasn’t even my fault.” “It kind of was, you let your little experiment out and she wrecked the whole place!” “I did not!” They suddenly started to argue. I was trying so hard not to laugh. Zion and Eclipse walked over. “What's going on?” Zion asked quietly. “They’re arguing about us. I find it pretty hilarious.” I whispered. Suddenly I heard someone yell behind us. “SIR, THREE OF OUR SUSPECTS ARE ON THE SECOND FLOOR!” One of the employees yelled. I spun around and gasped. An employee was ratting us out! “Shut up!” I said, and I ran over and punched them to the ground. More employees started to come up and corner us. “Oh no, we’re cornered.” Eclipse said. I looked around frantically, trying to find somewhere we could run.
