There was a rumble. The delicate remains of what was holding together in the facility began to fall. A shining light pierced our vision. It wasn’t the Chaos Emeralds this time. The gateway roared to life, a swirling golden vortex that shook the earth. Commander Stone snapped a lever and pressed a button. I lashed … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 29

It all happened so fast. I had no time to react. The pistol fired, but there was impact. There was a sudden rush of wind. I opened my eyes. Sonic was there, standing in front of me. He whobbled, then fell backwards into my arms.  “Sonic!?” I exclaimed. As I examined him, blood began streaming … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 28

Two days had gone by since Jaden helped me escape. He would come in and out every day, presumably to sneak into the cafeteria to get snacks. Particularly on the second day, I was sitting in the quiet when Jaden suddenly popped into existence. I jumped. “Geez, J!” I exclaimed. “Sorry,” Jaden responded, “I’m not … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 23

I wasn’t sure how long I’d been here. I was losing track of time. Whether it was because we were underground, or I was simply not given the freedom to see the sun rise and fall. I was slowly growing weary. I longed for the fresh breeze against my face, I longed for the miles … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 22

I heard rattling at the door. I sat up. Three guards came into the room. “Come with us” the leader ordered firmly. I eyed them suspiciously. I was even more hesitant to follow them, since last time I got sticked. Needless to say, it was very painful. Then, the leader forcefully grabbed my arm and … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 21
