Chapter 9: Held Hostage.
When Shane woke up she was in the dungeons at Dragon's Gate Palace.
*Zane, Zane where are you?* she thought.
~Over here.~ Zane answered.
*Where?*
~Look up.~
Shane looks up and sees her sister is a cell hanging above the ground.
*What are you doing up there?*
~Trying to figure out how to get out. Any ideas?~
*Nope, not really.*
~That's just great. I'm stuck up here.~
*Look someone's coming.*
They look towards the door and someone walks in.
"It's about time Valandra. I thought you were never gonna wake up. Oh, my names Torsten. I hate my name, it's so boring, so Earth like." the person says.
"What do you wish to accomplish by keeping us here?" Shane asked.
"You don't get it do you? We want you dead. You and all your little Earth friends. Dragon's Gate's goal was to kill the royal family then go and take over Alderan. It was a perfect plan until you, your sister and cousin were sent to Earth. You met those boys. At first I knew you wouldn't become attached, but that did happen. I expected Novalee would get attached but that's normal for her. She's the one you can't count on. Always disobeying orders and arguing. Not like you. You do what you're told. Never getting too involved. That's what I like about you, Valandra." Torsten said.
"You don't get it either. You can count on Novalee. She's helped out plenty of situations. We're a team. And you're getting no where by keeping us here."
"Really, because I believe we've just caught some Earth boys."
All of D-tent except for Zigzag came in and were put into another cell. Torsten left and then Zane spoke up.
"Now how are we gonna get out of here?" she asked.
"Why do you think Zigzag's not with us?" X-Ray said.
"Oooh, I get it now."
They heard something going on outside then heard Torsten scream. Zigzag ran in an unlocked them all. They went to the window and started heading out with the guys first. Isabel and Hayden came running in.
"Hurry, they've got more guards coming." Isabel said.
Isabel climbed through the window and Zane followed her. Shane Zigzag and Hayden were left. The guards came running in and started shooting.
"Go, Shane, just go." Zigzag said.
She was standing on the window opening when she heard someone fall to the ground. She turned around and saw Zigzag.
"Valandra, go, he's gone, get out of here." Hayden said.
When Shane and Hayden got through the window and started to go, everyone asked where Zigzag was, Shane hung her head down and Hayden said, "He didn't make it out in time." Everyone was silent on the way back to Alderan. A few days went by and nothing happened. Everyone was upset about Zigzag.
