‘Okay Ready GO!!!!’ Gabriel said.
Without waiting for Damon I jumped up and grabbed a bar. I pulled myself onto a ledge and started running across it. I didn’t slow down I just kept on running at the edge I jumped and grabbed a rope. I started to climb up. Down below I could see Damon taking the easy route and the most dumbest route. At the top of the rope I went onto the beam of the ceiling. It was very narrow so I had to be very careful, this was the part I usually get hurt on. I stopped and made a map of where I would go. The tricky part up here is that there are loose bolts so any of these could fall under my feet. I started to make my way. I was halfway through when the beam under me gave away. I wasn’t surprised so I had to act fast. I caught a bar and swung there with one hand. I felt a stinging on my stomach. I looked down to see that one of the bolts cut me while I was falling. A stream of blood was coming out but I wouldn’t let a little thing like that stop me.
‘Sage are you okay?’ Damon yelled up to me.
‘Yea.’ I pulled myself back onto the beam and kept on going. When I got to another rope I stopped. I had an idea. I sat down onto a beam and grabbed it with both hands. Then I slid off the beam so my hands were the only things preventing me from falling into the water. I started to swing my legs back and forth. The rope was a couple feet in front of me. When I had the appropriate speed I let go and I flipped toward the rope I caught it with one hand. I grabbed it with my other hand and I soon started to swing on it but then something happened. I felt that the rope was starting to get weaker and that it wouldn’t support me. I looked up and saw that the support was coming out. I had to think fast. I started to climb up. I was hoping that I would be a fat enough climber to reach a beam before the rope gave away. I was only one foot from there when the rope gave away. I jumped and tried to grab the beam but I was a couple inches short. I started to fall. this has never happened so I don’t know what to do. Then I saw why the rope don’t give away, there’s and island right below them. I had to think fast. But I wasn’t fast enough cause next thing I knew I was hitting the island hard. I felt pain in my ankle. I sat up to see that it was sprained. I got up even though my body was protesting. I stretched. Even though it hurt I stretched.
‘Sage are you okay?’ Damon yelled to me.
I nodded I started limping to the edge of the island. Damon saw.
‘Sage you’re limping.’ Damon said
‘I know.’
I got to the edge and I saw a ladder above me. I jumped up and grabbed a bar. I kept climbing with my hands but as soon as I could get my feet onto the bars I did. I didn’t put to much pressure onto my sprained ankle. I got to the beams again.
‘Sage come on let’s just call this a tie, you have to take care of your ankle.’ Damon said.
‘I train for this, I can handle it now let’s keep going.’ I said and started making my way among the beams. I felt my stomach and felt that the blood had dried up. I was starting to sway back and forth so I stopped and regained my balance but I couldn’t. then I noticed that it was the beam. Something was wrong. The beams never swayed. I knew that I was gonna fall again.
‘Damon, tie, now.’ I yelled then I fell. Beneath me was another island. I couldn’t do anything. I let myself fall. I finally hit the island. I cried out in pain. My body was all tingly.
‘SAGE!! SAGE!!’ I heard Damon yell nearby.
I sat up with some difficulty. Damon got to my island. He climbed onto it. He came over to me.
‘Sage are you okay.’
‘Get me back to the house.’
‘How? We’re in the middle of it’
‘On the side of every island there is a handle. Pull the handle. I’ve used it all the time.’
Damon searched the sides of the island and finally found the handle. He pulled it and nothing happened.
‘Nothing’s happening.’ he told me when he came back to me. Someone sabotaged my training place.
‘Okay Damon stay here while I make it across to the end.’
‘What are you talking about? You can’t, well you can’t like in the state you in.’
‘I have to I’m the only one who knows the way there. I have to get there to get the lifeboat. It’s the only way to make it of the island.’
‘What are you gonna do?’ he asked.
‘make it across. I already told you. Stay here and don’t go after me. Something’s not right here and I gotta get to the bottom of things.’
‘wait what do you mean?’
‘Stay here Damon until I come back. Don’t touch the handle again, and don’t do anything stupid, you don’t know this place like I do and you can get seriously hurt just by going into the water. Stay!’ I yelled before I dived into the water. I surfaced back up about 10 ft away and started swimming to the other side. I was halfway there when my sprained ankle caught onto something. I yelled in pain and I went under. I saw that a rope was wrapped around my ankle. I surfaced took a deep breath and went under to untied my foot. I surfaced and kept on swimming. I reached the other side. I hauled myself onto the floor. I laid there breathing deeply then got up and went to the lifeboat. I climbed in and started it.
I got in and started making my way back to Damon. When I got there he jumped in. I spun the boat around the island and started to make my way to Gabriel and that one guy.
We were about to get there when the boat shut down. This wasn’t sabotage it was training.
‘Damon get off the boat now while we still have a chance.’ Damon jumped off and landed next to Gabriel. I jumped off as soon as the boat started sinking. I landed next to that one guy. I grabbed my clothes and hurridly put them on. I got my pocketknife out of my pocket. I went over to a brick and slid in the tip of the pocketknife. I heard the water draining. I pushed the guys out. Outside I pushed bricks and locked the door.
‘Sage what the hell is going on?’ Damon asked.
‘Someone sabotaged it, I had to get everyone out before anybody else got hurt. The only way I knew it was sabotaged was when the rope fell, nothing happened when Damon pulled the handle, and when my ankle got caught in rope.’
‘But who sabotaged it?’
‘Oh I know who. It’s the only person I told about it.’
‘Who?’ Gabriel asked.
‘Don’t worry. When I find him I’m gonna beat him senseless.’
‘Who?’ Gabriel demanded.
‘Someone I should have beat a long time ago.’ I said then limped into the kitchen.
I grabbed my cell phone and called Anthony. Anthony is an ex-boyfriend. Nobody knew I dated him. We had a secret relationship. I broke up with him because he always seemed to get mad with me. Last time he saw me he got mad that I broke up with him.
‘Hey baby.’ he answered.
‘I am going to break your skull.’ I yelled into the phone not caring that they could hear me.
‘What’s the matter?’
‘You sabotaged my training area, is that your way of getting back at me.’
‘Hell yea, you are gonna regret breaking up with me.’
‘Listen to me carefully, do anything else and I will go over to your house and put you in the hospital.’
‘You could never do that to me.’
‘Try me.’ I said.
‘You wouldn’t want your secret to be out, you know the drawings.’
‘I don’t fuckin care about the drawings, hell I don’t even care if you tell my parents and they put me on medication, what I care about is you messing up my life.’
‘Sage calm down.’ Damon told me.
‘Who’s that?’ Anthony asked angrily.
‘My brother you bozo.’
‘Who else is there?’
‘some of his friends and that’s not the point. The point is you have got to stop all this revenge you got on me.’
‘What you’re with other guys!!!’ he yelled.
‘So what if I am what has that to do with you.’
‘I’m your boyfriend.’
‘No you’re not you’re my ex-boyfriend.’
I saw the shock on Damon’s face.
‘So what? I still love you.’
‘Well I don’t so stop it and leave me the hell alone.’ I yelled into the phone and hung up.
‘Ex-boyfriend? Since when have you had a boyfriend’ asked Damon.
‘Since I’ve been in middle school. I’ve only had four since then because they all turned out the same.’
‘Who the hell told you that you can date?’
‘Wait so it’s all right for you to have a girlfriend but not me to have a boyfriend.’ I yelled.
‘Yea.’
‘I am so sick of guys right now. Don’t even think about calling a doctor I know what to do about sprained ankles.’
I limped up to my room and slammed my bedroom door shut. I went to my closet and got my medical supplies. I wrapped up my ankle and laid down onto my bed. I turned to my side and tears rolled down my cheeks. My life was so ruined. I sobbed quietly. I stopped about an hour and a half later. I didn’t know how long until someone came in. they came over and sat on my bed.
‘Hey are you okay?’ Gabriel asked
‘My life is ruined.’ I said.
‘Why do you say that?’
‘Cause it is. Everything is falling apart around me. I even know who’s to blame for all this, me. I did this to myself.’
‘You can’t go around and blame yourself for everything.’
‘Yes I can cause it was my choices that got me into this bed with a sprained ankle.’
Gabriel climbed over me so I could see him.
‘I won’t let you make bad choices ever again.’ he said.
I smiled and sat up.
‘So what does that mean?’
‘It means that we are together and I won’t let anything bad happen to you. But we can’t tell anyone cause of how your brother reacted when he found out that you had previous boyfriends.’
‘Yea.’ I said then Gabriel left.
When he went out the door I smiled and got up out of bed. I limped over to my dresser and got out my journal. I don’t know why but I always scribble in my journal. I scribble nonsense and I can’t understand it. It’s just a bunch of curly lines to me.
I drew more curly lines and then put my journal away.
I went out of my bedroom and made my way downstairs. The guys were in the black building so I was by myself. My cell phone rang. I answered it.
‘Hello?’ I asked.
‘Is this Sage Night?’
‘Yes.’
‘Sage Night how nice it is to hear your voice’ Anthony said then hung up.
I got scared
