It's just a little snippet of my writing. The fun fact is, I just basically made this up as I went along.... xD This is just a little practice, but I already ship 29 X 30. I don't know why this song is playing, but I guess I just like it. You can turn it off if you want. xD I hope you enjoy! (It's short... xP) Here it is! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Author's Practice: The rattle of chains and the clanking of old metal echoed through the hollow walls. The air was cold, as if natural that way and smelled of sulfur. I shifted my weight carefully within each of my steps. Cool lifelessness seeped from the floor into my battered bare feet. "CLANG!" I swished my head towards the noise as I heard its wave bouncing. It's 30! My smile faded when I heard heavy inhuman footsteps coming towards my direction. I held my breath. I'm a caught kitten. My head shivered and my backbone stiffened. I closed my eyes in anticipation and then- "T-Twenty-nine? Is it you?" A weak voice stumbled. I turned around the chrome corner and saw 30. I shot my eyes down to his legs. "What happened to your legs?!" I added, "I thought they were gone, both of them! Now I'll never know if you're one of them or not!" "I couldn't run.... so I replaced them with what I can find..." He looked down, and I can tell he wasn't boasting. He was ashamed. I suddenly felt sorry for my reaction and started, "Um... hey-" 30 looked around wide-eyed like something was coming. I jerked his hand back behind the corner where I was and pointed to the hall. He understood. "CLANG!" The heavy chain that was on his arms hit the floor and the corner. "Dangit!" 30 wisper-shouted and realized his mistake. A chorus of beeps and robotic gargles sounded from the right. "UGH!" I expressed being annoyed. I grabbed his arm harshly and we started running down the hollow hallway. "Oh come on we know we're faster than those buckets of bolts!" He whispered. I didn't answer. "Well it's just like you females to get so angry with us too quickly..." He stated breathlessly. I told 30 to shut up by kindly squeezing my nails against his skin. "OW!" He pulled away his hand as we still ran down the long silver hallway. He looked at it and put up his palm. "There's blood!" His voice cracked. I smiled amusingly and was satisfied that he learned his lesson. We neared the bend and climbed over a rough rock to a misty room. I took deep breaths of the sweet palmy air. "We made it to the outside room..." I panted. The room was wet and refreshing and I felt the cool moss between my toes. It smelled like a fountain. "Those not-so-water-proof robots wouldn't dare follow us." 30 looked back at the towering rock we climbed over in front of the doorway. I ripped some fresh dew-crested leaves from the ground and slapped it on his injured hand. "There, ya big baby." I tried not to smile and walked farther into the misty room. Yep that's it. xP Note: They are actually humans... the 'caught kitten' is just an expression XP Go home.
