The Diary Of My Imminent Doom

Chapter 15

A/N

Sup guys! It's been a while, huh? I think half of you have given up reading this, cause I'm getting way less reviews. Maybe y'all are just lazy. Anyway, I'm going away tomorrow, so there won't be any updates on any of my stories for at least a week, so try and cope until then, okay? Okay. Great.

On with the story.

Enjoy!

Dear Diary,

The next morning, I woke up and tried to open my eyes. Except they didn't open. Oh, god, maybe that wasn't a dream-

Uh, Kace, can you wake up? I can't open my...your...I can't see anything and it's dark and I'm kinda a little afraid of-

Huh?

Thank god you're awake. So, you mind opening your bloody eyes?

Thanks for asking so nicely. Well that wasn't very nice. She did open her eyes though.

Still in the van.

I'm getting kinda sick of vans.

You're not the only one. I watched the grey wall in front of me-us, you know, this si getting really confusing.

Did Jinx say when this would wear off?

She didn't know. It could be minutes, weeks, years-

I hope not. That was supposed to be in my head, Diary. But, y'know, when you're sharing a head with someone, privacy isn't exactly your top priority.

Well, thanks

Hey, you don't wanna be stuck with me either! She shut up after that. Which actually made it quite lonely. I was about to say something, when the door cracked open. That was probably a good thing, because I had no idea what I would've said. Kaci's eyes snapped toward the door, and there stood:

A, Max and the flock coming to save us (yeah, right)

B, Ted and Bria ready to torture us in slow and painful ways

C, All of the above

D, Ted's long lost brother, Toxic Gas

To all you suckers who guessed B and think you are right and that I'm going to reward you with virtual cookies or whatever, then let me be the first to tell you (I mean, in case Kaci can suddenly read my thoughts and wants to butt in first) that it is not B. It is, in fact...yes, C. Well, the flock weren't coming to save us, because Ted and Bria had trapped them obviously, and now they were here. And...oh dear.

Is that...Gazzy II?

It is indeed

What, is it stalking me now?

It's posing as you. Everyone thinks it's only me in here

Ah. Right. Max was looking furious (when doesn't she?), and glaring at Bria, who was pinning her arms behind her back.

"What the hell are you trying to achieve here?" She bit out, her scowl deepening. Oh no. She was going into scary mode. Bria smirked, and squeezed Max's wrists tighter.

"Wouldn't you like to know? Too bad you won't be around to see it." The rest of the flock (who I didn't really notice before, to be honest) froze.

"What's that meant to mean?" Iggy asked, drumming his fingers together, even though his hands were tied. Weirdo.

"You won't be alive when we take control," Ted replied. Bria shot him a dirty look. "Sorry. I mean that we'll have used you as an example to...implement our leadership."

"Ted, shut it. Well, now you know our lovely plan thanks to my chatty friend here," Bria said pointedly.

"Wait, no we don't. Could you explain it a bit more, Ted?" Max asked sweetly. He looked like he was about to open his mouth, but Bria intervened before he could give anything away.

"Dude, if you don't shut up, I will personally castrate you alive," she threatened. That got him to be quiet.

"Well, call if you need anything, and we'll do our best," Bria smiled cruelly, before shoving the others in and slamming the door. Funnily enough, none of Kaci's flock were there.

"I really hate that guy," Max muttered.

"Hear, hear," Iggy replied under his breath. Kaci decided to speak, and on instinct, I tried closing my mouth. It didn't actually do anything, really, but she did stumble before saying her next sentence.

"So, where's my flock?" The question hung in the air, and no one answered for a while. Guess who broke the silence?

"We don't know. They disappeared a little after you guys," Fang answered quietly. Yep, that's right, Fang answered first. All on his own, like a grown man. Proud of you, Fang.

"What the heck?" Everyone turned to stare at Kaci.

Crap.

"Um, you okay, Kaci?" Nudge (who had been weirdly quiet) spoke up. I felt Kaci's head nod, and her face heat up.

"Oh, uh, yeah. Fine."

What the heck did you just think? About Fang? That was really, really weird

Crud. You heard that?

Well done, Sherlock. Gold star

You weren't supposed to be able to hear that-

Oh shoot. What if we start being able to hear...all of each other's thoughts

Oh no, I'm not ready for that kind of friendship yet

Oh god. Frick. Why the hell couldn't it have been...I dunno, David-

Oh, no freaking way in hell!

What d'you have against him, anyway?

Nothing...why has my clone not said anything? It's being un-me-like

Un-me-like. Wow, Gaz-

"Hey, Kaci, you okay?" I saw Nudge's hand in my line of vision.

"Um, fine. Why?"

"You just blacked out for a bit. I think," Gazzy II piped up. Oh, so now he speaks when Kaci blacks out. What the heck, other me? Start acting more...me like.

So you're saying you wouldn't care if I passed out. Thank you so much

You're no-you know what? Never mind

"Really? That's weird," Kaci replied.

"Have you seen Angel? We haven't found her yet, and Gazzy says nothing happened with the deal he had with Bria," Max asked worriedly. I stared at Gazzy II. He was slouching against the wall, and looked real casual. Why the heck did he look so relaxed?

Cause that's what you normally look like?

Really?

Yeah. You're real chilled out

Huh.

You learn something new every day. No one said anything for ages, and just leaned against the side of the van, wondering how we were gonna get out of this one. I spent a few minutes pondering the likelihood of me blowing up the van and us staying alive when it hit me.

What?

Hold on a minute, okay? Close your eyes and don't talk to me. I think I've got an idea

I'll leave you to it, then. I concentrated, and tried to remember how I'd thought up Gazzy II. I mentally closed my eyes (cause I mean, I can't exactly do it in real life, because Kaci's in control of her eyes and...yeah), and thought hard. I conjured up a picture of me, and waited. Something snapped at the back of my mind, and I opened my eyes. I stumbled back a bit when I saw Kaci lying on the ground a few feet away from where I was standing. Gazzy II was still slumped behind me. The rest of the flock was staring at me with wide eyes. So what the heck just happened? Kaci broke the shock.

"Well, I think you solved my problem. But I'm pretty sure your one just got bigger." But Jinx took my body home with her, right? God, that sentence sounded weird. But that meant I wasn't in my own body. So…

"Holy crap, I did it! Guys, meet Gazzy III," I announced. As you can imagine, they were all really weirded out, so me and Kaci had to explain the whole situation to them. After about an hour (explaining stuff to us without us interrupting and asking heaps of random questions isn't possible, so it took forever), they were all up to date.

"Well, are you just gonna stand there like an i***t, or get these ropes off us?" Iggy asked impatiently. Oh, right.

"Oh, um, yeah," I replied smartly. I started with Max's, because she's really good at untying knots. I dunno why, it's just this thing she's always been good at. Maybe untangling her earphones after listening to High School Musical in secret. Hmmm.

"So you're stuck in the body...of your clone," Fang clarified once Max had untied him (of course she'd freed him first. Least surprising fact of the year over here, people). I nodded.

"Yep. Just amazing."

"What do we do when they come get us?" Iggy asked eagerly, but everyone already knew Max's answer.

"Kick some bad guy butt." Our plan was to wait until they came to feed us, but if you were an evil villain wanting to 'dispose of' your captives, would you bother feeding them? No, I didn't think so. So we were waiting and wallowing (big word there, aye Diary?) in our boredom when Nudge snapped.

"Why are we waiting? They should be here by now! This van's so dark. There should be a thing as car lighting-is that a thing?-and they should get it because this van is horrid and damp and dull and dark and-"

"Nudge, please. I'm trying to think," Max said. Nudge wisely shut her mouth.

"Maybe...if we yell, they'll come down? I dunno," Max shrugged. "What can you do in this situation?" I thought about that, then grinned. I could embarrass Max, and hopefully get out of this dumb van at the same time! What could go wrong?

"We do something so weird that they can't not come down," I began, tapping my finger-tips together like some evil villain dude. "Max, do you happen to have your iPod?" Her mom had bought us all phones, and Max had become pretty addicted to hers. She hesitated, before reluctantly handing it over.

"There's no signal, so you can't call anyone," she said sulkily. I grinned widely at her.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not planning on calling anybody." I opened her playlist, and scrolled through the options 'til I found an interesting song. "Let me just remind you that this is on Max's playlist. I advise that you sing along, so they wonder what's up and come down here. Capiche?" Everyone nodded, wondering what the heck I was doing. Max's face was a mix between a scowl and horror. I felt my smile widen, and pressed play.

"Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy…" I turned up the volume as loud as it could go, which was pretty loud.

"OMG Max, you like Kesha?" Nudge exclaimed, her hands waving around her face. She started singing after that, and let's just say that if Bria and Ted did come, it would be to shut her up, not out of curiosity. I blocked my ears, and everyone else did the same. A few minutes later, there was a banging noise just outside the door. We all froze, except for Nudge, who couldn't hear over her singing. An annoyed face poked through the gap. He looked kinda like Ted, but not exactly.

He stared us down. "What the heck do you think you're doing?" Nudge closed her mouth, and flashed a sheepish smile.

"Singing. Care to join in?" You can imagine how that went down.

So there it is. As always, if anyone has ideas, I need them, cause I'm just making this whole plot up on the spot.

One thing; do you guys have any favourite pairings in MR? Because I might be ableto put them in. If you have any at all. This is totally not me just wanting a plot. Really.
