He dropped Mr. Not-So-Fantastic on top of his friends and started chasing after the two girls, as well as a very angry oven. "Why hasn't the pie been baked yet!? If we don't give it time to set, it won't be ready for judging!"
"I WAS TRYING TO DO AN..UM... CRAP WHAT'S THE WORD? YOU KNOW WITH LIKE, THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL STRIPS?" Shot back Natalia as she ran, Amber stumbling after her.
"RAARRRAGH!" Roared the oven, "MY ENEMIES WILL PERISH IN ETERNAL HELLFIRE!" the appliance mastering human speech with alarming efficiency as it bounced down the hallway with deafening crashes.
"Just what part of you did you put it in that thing?" Natalia asked Amber, skidding around a corner in time to see.Charlia wrote:Charlotte grinned. Why chase an oven when you can get in front of it? She used the counter to propel herself into a somersault over the top of the oven, landing on the other side and attempting to block it from going any farther. And she sticks the landing!
Whoa.
I just made an impromptu joke in a... okay, mostly serious situation.
I'm getting better every day!
"Ah, Red I wouldn't-"
*Cruuunch!
The oven seemed unperturbed by the sudden appearance in its path of a girl with wings. Which was fair, after all the oven was nearly a hundred kilograms of metal traveling with a good head of momentum, it would probably take half a dozen Charlottes standing in its path to slow it down. As it was the oven simply slammed into her with an unhealthy sounding crunch and kept on going. Laughing maniacally in a deep, gravelly voice.
Natalia winced as she ran and then brightened.
"A latice!" she shouted to no one in particular. "That's the word!"
Well, that didn't go so well.
That's an interesting ceiling pattern. I didn't notice it was covered with red blots before.
Oh, no, that's blood.
That's funny.
Why is there blood on the ceiling?
Oh, no, that's my blood.
How did my blood get on the ceiling?
No, it's in my eyes.
Well, I suppose there's one benefit to what they did--anyone else would probably have been killed, or at least have a lot of broken bones.
I'm just going to get a serious bruise.
And a few broken bones. Hope I didn't puncture a lung or anything.
Thank goodness for science, I guess. I think that's all that's keeping me alive right now.
She sat up and let out a quiet moan.
Note to self: never try to block a speeding oven.
That is not something I ever thought would go through my mind.
