-Ty's POV-
What Anthony had pulled was much too far, and I couldn't stand to see him go free. The curse I dropped on him, he has no clue, but he knows me well enough to know not to test me. His schizophrenia has not gone away, so he's still technically crazy. I can already see it flaring back up. He's gotten more paranoid again in the last week, which contributes to the schizophrenia.
He's also become more reckless, and angry with nothing. In other words, he's becoming much more hostile. Not just toward me, but he tried to kill Seto yesterday. Seto had been coloring on the floor, and Anthony had just... Seto was fine, but it started badly. Seto's magic was quick enough that he was able to block the lethal blow Anthony threw at him. Anthony had flown back into the wall, but I unfortunately was a forcefield on all Enders, and I got pressed back into the wall I was leaning on.
When Seto let go, that's when I dragged Anthony outside and that's exactly when Sky and Mitch showed up. It's now... 6am? And I haven't been able to sleep yet. I'd crashed, yes, but that didn't mean I was asleep. I've been up since 9pm yesterday. I'm tired, but I'm so high strung and angry that I can't sleep.
Anthony had crossed a thin line, and that curse will keep him from recrossing it. Finally, exhausted and burnt out, I fell asleep.

-Seto's POV-
Well, that was new. I'd gotten over the shock of it, but was still pretty confused until the argument. But now, I realize how prominent the issue is. I could immediately pick out the schizophrenic actions. The time is now 8am, and I'm up super early for no reason.
I'd slipped away from Brice without waking him, and headed outside. But my paranoia grew quickly when I heard armor, and a lot of heavy footsteps. I slipped inside and bolted for Sky's room. I shoved him off the bed, and he smacked the floor. He leaped to his feet and I pointed desperately to the door.
His face filled with concern, and ran with me to the front door. He quietly stepped outside, and turned to me through the open door. He whispers, "How long have you been out here, and how long have you been hearing this?" "Just a few minutes, and it started as I came out. They may have been here before I came out. I don't know." Sky exhales forcefully, and frowns. "Should we get Josh, Sky?" "Yeah. Come on. We gotta be quiet."
We walk to Josh and Grace's room. Then we remember. Sky whisper screams, "Damn it! They work today! Seto, do you have enough energy to help me deter them?" I sadly shake my head. "My Ender field took too much out of me, and Brice took his energy to help that. Neither of us have energy to spare."
Sky starts to pace, and without his glasses, he looks creepy, but determined. Then the yelling starts. Sky runs for the door, and throws the lock. This wakes Jerome and Mitch, and they come stumbling in, confused and tired. Mitch wakes up faster, and starts leaping about, scared and upset. Jerome finally picks it up when he hears the yelling, and he dances about as well. Sky is still pacing, and his hair is still in disarray.
He runs his hands through his hair, and it falls back to chin length. The tie is on his wrist, but he hasn't bothered in a week to put it back up. The yelling gets louder as the guards get closer to the house. Mitch and Jerome spook, and run to their room. I go to check on Brice. He's still asleep, so I leave him sleeping.
But that doesn't last long. Sky rushes to our room, puts me inside, accidentally wakes Brice, leaves, and locks the door on us. I sit there in shock, when I hear a guard at the door. A brutal and loud knocking comes directly after a man yells something through the door. Oh no.
If he's any louder, he'll wake Ty and Anthony. If he wakes Ty and Anthony, then everyone will be in the danger zone. Sky is panicking in the hallway, and I hear him jumping around, trying to calm his nerves. His breath is shallow, and shaky. He's panicking in hardcore mode.
The brutal knocking starts again. I can faintly hear what the man is yelling. "Open the door now or we will use force." When Sky remained in the hallway, I pounded on my door, and yelled at Sky. "Get the door! He'll break it down. He's gonna wake the twins!!! GO!!"
I hear Sky bolt down the hallway. He screams as he runs. "Dammit!" I hear the door open, and footsteps floss the living room. The twins are still asleep as far as I'm concerned, but I know they officially aren't free. Brice and I are sitting in the back corner of our room when the door gets kicked in. Four guards enter, and two grab each of us.
Brice and I kick and scream, but these men have steel grips. The men holding my arms force me to the floor, and I'm cuffed and blindfolded. I hear Sky, Brice, Mitch, and Jerome. But the younger boys are nowhere to be heard or found. Then, I can hear Preston's scream, and Rob yelling and crying.
Vikk is next to be heard, and Lachlan is last. The twins are still asleep, and I can hear their chains clatter together when they shift. I can tell that Ty is dangerously close to waking, but Anthony is still deep in his sleep. I can't see, but I know where the men are via sound. They're heavy footsteps give them away.

-Lachlan's POV-
I was woken up by men in our room. They shook me out of bed and dragged me, half asleep, to the living room. They put something black on my face, so I can't see. There is mostly silence, except for the footsteps. Vikk is next to me, and I know because his hand is in mine. His hand is trembling, but of course, so is mine- so, it's not like it's just him.
Then, one of the guys picks me up, and puts me on my feet. Vikk's hand slips out of mine, and I'm shoved forward. I don't know where to go, so I stumble to a stop. I try to get my bearings, but I can't see, and it's hard. I hear Vikk cry out, and suddenly, he's on top of me, and I steady us both. We stand still.
One guy puts something cold and small against my head. It scares me, so I move, just as Vikk's hand finds mine again. I yank him with me, and another guy calls sharply, "They are not to get hurt. Remember? Put the gun down." The guy behind me makes a growling sound. Vikk is desperately clinging to me, and I put my hand around his shoulder.
I try to ask, "What do you want?" One of the guys in front of me answers. "How cute. We want all of you. You are all from a fantasy pocket, and all of you have been caught in the city. Especially you two." I rub my hand across Vikk's shoulder, and he presses himself into my side. I'm only 5 for gosh sakes.
"How was all the stuff you stole? Was it good? I hope so, because you'll never get it again. Roll out!" Someone pulls Vikk away from me, and he starts to cry. Someone else picks me up, cuffs my hands, and something is put on my handcuffs, like, a connector chain or something. The chain is pulled, and I'm forced to walk, or be dragged. I can hear Vikk crying and screaming behind me.
In front of me, I hear Sky yelling bad words, and just yelling in general. I can hear horses, and they're walking with us. I go along, half being pulled, half walking. Vikk is still making a ruckus, and they haven't figured out how to stop him properly. To stop him properly is to let him hang on me.
Sky tries to solve the issue. "Give him to the other boy! Give Vikk to the blonde boy, Lachlan. It'll stop him from crying." A command is relayed, and everyone stops. I feel Vikk reattach himself to me, and I lift him onto my shoulders. He's younger and much much smaller, so I can do that. I can lift him like a feather.
We keep walking for another... hour or so. They stop us, and my blindfold is torn from my face. The light blinds me for a second, and I first look down to find the ground was gravel. I could still feel Vikk on my shoulders, and I can see and feel his feet, because I'm holding them. In front of me, I can see Mitch, Jerome, Preston, Rob, and Sky.
Jerome and Preston look different though. Jerome has a fluffy bear hat on and fluffy brown fingerless gloves, and he isn't a bacca. He looks like another Mitch, but in a suit. Preston has a yellow and orange bandana around his face, and his hair is reddish orange. His eyes shine a bright neon yellow, and they glow. Preston still has his suit, but his white shirt changed to yellow and orange, like lava.
Preston is wearing lava themed fingerless gloves, and his bandana has the same permanent frowny face Preston had in the pocket. He was a... whatsitcalled... a lava creeper! That's it. Preston looks down at himself, and I can see him nearly scream. Jerome sees himself, and frowns, groaning and throwing his head back.
Sky looks really upset and angry, and he's pulling at his handcuffs. I watch him, and I see he's slipped one hand out. The other hand comes out, and he's free. But instead of running and saving himself, he spins on his heel and brings his fist to one of the guards' faces. The guard hits the ground, unconscious.
Vikk's gaze flicks to me, and back to Sky. He's on my shoulders, so I have to look up to see his face. He's kinda holding my hair, so I can't move my head much. But as soon as the guard goes down, Sky is under another one. The guard tackled him, and held his hands behind him, but Sky was magical. He disappeared, and reappeared next to me.
I jumped, which scared Vikk, and he gripped my hair tighter. Sky bounced on his toes, and smiled deviously. The guards look confused, and chase him down. Those of us that are still chained are again forced to the ground, and I have to put Vikk down. He sits next to me, holding my hand, trembling.
Sky is finally taken out, and he's carried inside, pretty much unconscious. The guards take us to a large red and gold decorated room, and I stop the guards to let Vikk back on my shoulders. He's not the strongest, and he has little endurance. He can't walk very far in his own. So I carry him quite a lot.
In the middle of the red and gold room, is a big chair. In the big chair, is a woman. Next to her, in another big chair, is nothing but a little blue box.
The woman snaps, "Robert. Come." Rob lowers his head and walks up to the woman. He's shaking, so I know he's scared, but I don't know why. The woman stands from her chair, and I see that she's tall. She grabs Rob's wrist, and smacks him.
Rob shrinks away. "You will never do that again, Robert. Do you hear me? Do I make myself clear?" Rob's voice is small and quiet. "Yes Mommy." Sky starts to regain consciousness, and the woman scowls. "You."
"Huh? Oh... Um... Hello, Flower Queen..." The woman scoffs, "I gave you a chance. And you broke my trust. Your chance was over the second you took Robert off the property. You will perish in the dungeon, along with your little thieving friends. Enjoy the cells."
At the 'thieving friends' part, Sky cocked his head, and looks lost. "What do you mean thieving? We don't steal." "Oh, but your little two over there do." And she pointed at me and Vikk. Uh oh.

-(A/N)-
I'm kinda slowing down because school starts back up on the 18th, and I'm being dragged around to go school shopping. As much as I hate school, I have to go.
The cliffhanger I left is nice though, right? Do you like it? I hope so. I left just for those of you who hate cliffhangers! ; ) Love you guys!
