TAUT - Through Fire - Finale

Hi everyone!:D

I'm so excited to make this post! It's the finale of TAUT - Through Fire! SO EXCITING!:D It's also sort of sad, but I'm excited to finish it as well, so I can focus on finishing Sadie's Hope.:)

Remember that?;D

Okay, now...for the finale...

Dmitri sprang out of her bed. Her ears were deaf with the sound of the sirens, and her burns ached, but she somehow ran down the hallway to the meeting room.

"What's going on, you guys?" Dmitri asked.

"Somebody broke out of the organization," Logan said.

"Who?" Dmitri glanced uneasily at the workers and guards running around.

"I don't know. It wasn't anybody that was supposed to be here though. They say that somebody broke in when we were gone on our mission and disarmed the alarms before anybody noticed," Chris replied.  

Dmitri's eyes widened. "How did they know our passwords? I didn't know anyone knew them!" Logan and Chris shared a confused look. 

"Get back inside your rooms!" Sara yelled, her voice booming. She pushed them back to their quarters. 

Chris managed to slip into Dmitri's room and shut the door softly behind her.

"Why are they putting us into our rooms?" Dmitri asked.

The lock snapped shut from the other side. The girls twisted to face the newly locked door. 

"They locked us in!" Chris shouted and pulled at the knob. "How dare they?"
Dmitri snatched a stray bobby pin and went to work at the lock. 

After a long moment,  Dmitri flung the bobby pin across the room.

"The stupid lock is too advanced for a bobby pin," Dmitri said and flopped onto her bed in exasperation.

Chris pursed her lips, her anger diminishing as she thought.

"Who do you think broke in?" she asked and sat on the bed.

"I have no idea," Dmitri muttered. She and Chris waited on the bed in silence, each pondering who it could have been. The lock clicked, and Sara walked in looking upset. 

"We were too late. We only saw a flash of her red hair, then she was gone," Sara said. 

Dmitri rolled off the bed.

"What-but... How?" she cried. 

"We don't know if she'll ever come back, but if she does... we'll be ready."

I'll just leave you with that...

TAUT - Through Fire - Part Three

Hi everyone!:)

I know that some of you are desperate to know what happened in the last part, and I can't wait to reveal what happened!:D

Fire.

Dmitri breathed in pure smoke and her eyes burst open wide as she coughed. Her eyes watering, she tried to gain her thoughts.

How long had I been about? she thought. She scanned the area, but all she saw were flames shooting up all around her, trapping her. Why had I fallen unconscious? 

"The spray!" Dmitri cried then realized too late that speaking wasn't a good idea. Her mouth went dry which made her cough harder. The spray must have made them fallen unconscious. It must have been toxic.

"Chris!!" she called. She could barely hear herself above the roar of the fire. "Logan!!!" Dmitri stood up and a wave of dizziness flooded over her. She pushed her fingers into her throbbing temples, telling herself to get it together.

Be the leader.

She grabbed her phone out of her backpack. There wasn't any signal. She pushed it back into her bag and looked around at the fire encasing her. As she looked up at the burning trees, she heard a sickly crack. Her gaze shot to a nearby tree, screaming as it came crashing toward her. 

Barely missing the fiery tree, she jumped to the side as the tree burst to life with sparks. Her legs burned with the heat of the fire and, once she snatched up the fallen spray and stuffed it into her backpack, she called out to Chris and Logan, wherever they were. She had to move. They weren't around here. Dmitri stumbled away, dodging flames that threatened to overwhelm her.

"Help!" a voice called out over the sound of the fire. 

"Chris!" Dmitri exclaimed and ran to a burning bush, which Chris was stuck in. She grabbed her arms and pulled her out.

"I'm so glad you're safe!" Chris said. 

"Where's Logan?" Dmitri questioned and dragged her away from the bush.

"I don't know," Chris coughed, shaking her head.

"We need to get out of here or else we'll burn to death!"

"But what happened? I fainted!" She cried.

"I can't be sure, but I think that spray we used somehow caused it."

"It could be poisonous," Chris added and Dmitri nodded.

"We need to leave. Now."

They tramped through the burning remains of a forest, desperately searching for a way out and to find Logan, whom they called to every now and then. Chris fell onto a slippery, wet rock, saying, "I need water."

Dmitri handed her a hot bottle of water, still looking at the fire around them. Soot lay on the floor like sand and smoke smothered the sky. Neither one of them could stop coughing for long.

After Chris drained most of the bottle, they picked up their trek through the forest, but their hopes diminished as the fire started to get too large around them, blocking paths.

"Wait!" Chris shouted and grabbed Dmitri's arm. "Sara said they'd be waiting for us!"

Dmitri gasped. She was right.

"Yes! If we can find that circle we began in, we could find them!" she exclaimed, her hopes flaring like the flames around them.

"It was this way!" Chris pointed to the left. They ran for what felt like hours, but they didn't find the circle.

Dmitri panted and breathed in heavy smoke as she brought herself to say the two words circling in her mind.

"We're lost."

Another cliffhanger? Ooh...I'm bad....;)

I hope you are enjoying the series!:D

Since these were all the pictures I took when I was at the park, the next part will take longer to get up, but I hope to have it up as soon as possible!:) Thanks for being patient.:)

TAUT - Through Fire - Part One

Oh my goodness! I'm actually starting the first part of the second season of TAUT! I can't believe it, I am so excited!:D

I do want to say that I made this story a while ago, probably around a year ago, so I am sorry if my writing quality isn't great. I have edited it recently, but that doesn't make up for everything that's wrong.;)

But anyway, presenting TAUT....Through Fire, Part One....

Dmitri chewed the inside of her cheek thoughtfully as she sat at the computer slowly typing in a combination of words and numbers, her friends sitting on the other side of the spacious living quarters.

For years TAUT had kept them there, in an organization and ever since Dmitri had been trying to get out, to break the password on the contact sites of the main computer. She had to just type a few words, to her mom, to tell her that she was okay and not to worry. 

Chris wheeled herself out of her room.

"Hey, Dmitri!" Chris said while she struggled to turn her wheels. "Guess what?" She looked up, her eyes alight with exciting news and an eager grin on her face. 

"What?" Dmitri replied with her usual even tone. Taking a deep breath, Chris prepared herself for the news.

"Natalie, TAUT's doctor, cleared me and said I can get out of this wheelchair tomorrow!" 

"How exciting!" Sara, TAUT's co-manager said, taking away any reply Dmitri could offer. 

"If you guys are going to Vernon State forest then you can't be wheeling around this old thing," Sara tapped the wheelchair lightly as she spoke. 

"Another forest? We were just in one on our last mission!" Hayden complained, looking up from her iPad. 

"Why do we need to go to another forest?" Dmitri questioned.

"There's an out-of-control fire that is spreading through the forest. Water won't quench it and, if allowed to spread farther, things will get hectic. Our scientists have been working on a formula that will stop the fire. Though it is untested, we have a strong belief it will work. We will fly you over the fire and drop you in so that you can spray the fire with it," Sara explained. 

"Uh, isn't that dangerous?" Logan asked, suspicious.

Sara hesitated but continued, "Very." 

"Don't worry, I can handle it," Dmitri stated. "Tomorrow we fly there and I'll bring Logan and Chris. Sorry, you two-" Dmitri glanced at Hayden and Daisy's frowns, "-but I don't think we'll need you for this mission." 

"You never need us! You should of just left us with our families!" Hayden sulked into her chair, her arms crossed as she refused to look at anything but the ground. Daisy seemed to be just as upset and obviously thought the same as her friend.

Dmitri sighed, then turned her attention back to Sara. "Okay, where is the spray?"

"We'll give it to you when we fly over the fire tomorrow. Today, you all will stay here and prepare."

I hope you liked it!:D I know this wasn't the most exciting part but it will get better. You'd be shocked at all of the editing I did as I made this post. Who knew I've grown so much over the year?:D
