Chapter 22: When In Doubt, Harry It Out

Hey everyone! I told you I'd put another chapter up by next week to make up my lack of uploads. I meant what I said. So enjoy another chapter of my story :P

 

It took me a while to regain consciousness. But when I did, I couldn't move. When I tried to sit up, a hand pushed me back down.

"You shouldn't sit up," he told me.

"Why?" I protested.

"Well for one you just woke up from a sugar coma. And two, I need you to listen to me," he replied. I crossed my arms and sighed.

"I'm listening," I grumbled.

"While you were knocked out, I was wondering around and found a small passage near the back. I don't know where it leads to, but I have a feeling it's a way out," Harry explained. I raised my eyebrows. A secret passage eh? I didn't know much about secret passages, but what I do know is that they always lead out to somewhere. I sat up. My head instantly started pounding, but I acted like it didn't bother me.

"Well what are we waiting for?" I asked him, trying to stand up. "We both have a competition tomorrow." I stumbled towards the door when Harry blocked my path.

"What the freak Styles?" I growled. "I need to get back to the house ASAP."

"Not in that condition," he said cautiously.

"Harry, do you have the time?" I questioned. He looked at his watch.

"3:30 am.," he replied.

"Exactly. The competition is in about 18 hours. Practice starts at 8. We need to get back to the house!" I exasperated. 

"Fine. Let's go," Harry sighed.

**********************************************************************

"So this is where you saw the secret passageway?" I asked him. We were near the bathrooms and the auto isle. I always knew Wal-Mart had a lot of secrets. I just never expected them to have a secret passage.

"Yep," Harry agreed. He walked over to a tire and knocked on it three times. I heard rumbling and next thing I knew, a doorway appeared three inches from me.

"Woah," I breathed. This was beyond cool! I was about to step down there when Harry caught me. "What now Harry?" All I wanted was to get out of this store.

"Hold on. Do you have your flashlight?" he asked me. I clicked my flashlight on and flashed it in his eyes. "I only needed a yes Thaila. Just making sure you have one." I clicked it off and put it back into my pocket.

"Can I go now?" I asked excitingly. He nodded. I rushed down the passage as fast as I could. I was finally getting out of the hell hole called Wal-Mart!

"Thaila! Wait up!" I heard Harry call. That caused me to sprint faster. I could almost see light when I tripped over something. It took a minute for my brain to process what had just happened. I howled in pain. Harry appeared a few seconds later, panting. "What happened now?"

"I fell," I whined, showing him my scraped up hands like a five year old. He helped me up and examined my cuts.

"You'll be fine," Harry confirmed. "Just some minor cuts and scrapes. Nothing too serious."

"Nothing too serious?" I repeated. He nodded. I looked down at my hands. "Well in that case... See ya on the other side!" I ran away as fast as I could.

"Thaila! Get back here!" Harry snapped, running after me. I didn't care that he was a bit older than me, I didn't take orders from people. That much anyway. "Turn your flashlight on. That way we can see." For once, I actually listened to him. I quickly clicked my flashlight on. Good thing I did too. I stopped abruptly. Harry caught up with me.

"What's up- woah." His eyes grew big. In front of us was a gap about a foot across and who knows how deep. 

"How are we going to get across?" I groaned. Just as I said that, Harry leaped over the gap. It looked pretty funny seeing Harry leap. 

"Coming over?" he asked as I doubled over, laughing.

"Y-yeah," I giggled. I stepped back a few feet. I took a deep breath and started to run. When I got to the gap, I jumped as far as I could. I closed my eyes, waiting for death. It never came. I opened my eyes and let out a sigh of relieve. I made it over.

"Let's get going," Harry told me. I nodded. We ran for about ten more minutes when we came to a door.

"I think this is the way out," I said.

"Let's find out," he said, pushing away the door. Moonlight filled the room. We stepped out of the damp passage into the cold March night. Harry turned to me. "Ready to go home?"

"Let's do it," I replied.
