I don't like how this chap came out...*sigh* oh well...
Chapter 11
Over the next two weeks everyone got to know each other. Well save for Delta, who kept to himself most of the time.
Invy and Echa at first stuck together as neither of them were in such close proximity with the males before. After a few days they relaxed as they got used to being so close to them. Shriek, understandably, stayed close to Spider but was starting interact with the others as well.
One day Hoth was watching Spider and Shriek. They were both laughing as they tickled each other and wrestled. He tell that they had a strong bond between each other and virtually nothing would drive them apart. He looked over at Delta, who was watching them as well. He could see the longing in his eyes.
Oh Delta… he thought, Why can’t you accept that its over and move on? She’s not the same person you…any of us for that matter, once knew.
His thoughts were interrupted when he saw Steinix approached their cell and call to Spider. Spider immediately got up, walked over to the front of the cell, and he and Steinix started talking in low voices.
What are they up to this time? Hoth wondered. He looked at the others and could tell they were wondering as well.
After a couple of minutes he saw Spider nod and Steinix open the door. Spider then turned toward the others and said:
“Come on guys and girls. Somethin’ new is waitin’ fer us.”
“Something new? Like what?” Kilk asked.
“Yer will have ter come and see.” Spider replied, that smug look back on his face, and he stepped through the door, Shriek following.
The others were hesitant, not sure what to think of this.
“Come on.” Hoth said reassuringly, “What ever it is…it can’t be bad now could it?” He then followed Spider’s lead and stepped out of the cell. Encouraged, the others followed, even Delta….
Steinix lead them down a long hallway lined with small windows. The windows were too high up for them to see out of though so they couldn’t see what was on the other side of the walls.
Finally Steinix stopped in front of a huge set of doors and started typing in a code on the keypad there. The doors opened and a rush of sunlight blinded them momentarily. When their eyes adjusted, they all (save for Spider and Shriek) gasped in shock.
“This…” Steinix said, “for the next few months is your new home.”
