Keys of Fate

Chapter 5

Griffin opened the door and walked in. "That was loud! Are you okay?" He walked to me and put his hand on my shoulder. I shocked him on accident. "ow. Little staticky there aren't we?" I walked out of the room and everyone was around the doorway. "Hey what Key did you get?" Liam said. "Uhh this." I said holding out the key. "Ooh that looks so cool!" Liam said. J.J. Walked up to me. "That was really loud. What powers did you get?" "Uh.. lighting I think." "Okay." She walked away. "Congratulations Nadia!" Blaze said to me as he patted my back. "Yea congratulations!" Gailen said. "Hey do you wanna play with us?" Blaze said. "Sure!" We all walked over to the couch. "I've never really played video games..." I said scratching the back of my neck. "That's fine I'll teach you!" Liam said as he sat beside me. He handed me a controller. While holding his own. "You hold it like this. And you press A to attack the enimies. Then once you attack enough you can use a special power by pressing X." I looked confused but did it anyway. "How do I move?" "You move the left joystick around." I moved it and my character on the screen moved. "Wow!" "I've never seen anyone be so excited about video games." "Well my parents never let me play them because they thought it would rot my brain." He blinked a few times in confusion. "Naw, it doesn't do that." "Oh okay." He continued to teach me how to play the game. After a couple hours an alarm went off. "Aah! What the heck is that?!" I stood up and looked around. There were red lights flashing. "Stay here Nadia!" Griffin yelled as he ran out with Liam and J.J. I sat back down. "It's okay Nadia." Blaze sat next to me. "I'll be here." I looked at him and he looked worried. "Is there something going on?" "What no..." Kori ran out of a room in the corner and sped out of the door. "Heh... she likes running." He smiled at me as if he expected me to believe him. I gave him the look of 'so you think I'm stupid'. He sighed. "That alarm is because people are getting infected by the hacks. When they are infected they are known as the hacked. And they are attempting to break in" "What!...can the rain hack into devices?" I asked. He shook his head. "We sat there for about 10 minutes. "They aren't back yet..." "I know" he said standing up and leaving. "Don't move from that spot!" He yelled closeting the door. I sat there waiting. Suddenly one of the door burst open. People came out, and there eyes were all black with weird purple ooze leaching out of them. There were about 4. They saw me and ran twords me. "Aah!" I ran away from them trying to get away. One of them tackled me. They held me down on the ground. My heart was racing. I was so scared. Their eyes leaked and the sludge landed on my back. They flipped me over. "You.... must.. look into... the sludge..." the one on top of me got right over me. *POW* a rock was thrown at the one on top of me. It was knocked off. But I was still being held down by the others. I looked back and saw Liam. He reached out of the pocket and pulled out a key. "Earth!" He said loudly. He put both hands on the key and separated it leaving a gold trail. He formed fists and a weapon appeared from the gold glow. He had two short blades. He grabbed them from the air and the people that held me down ran at him. I took this chance and ran under the kitchen table and curled up. He knocked them all out without hurting them. The rest of the group rushed back in. Liam rushed over to me. "Hey are you okay?!" I nod. "C'mon it's safe now." I crawl from under the table. "Thank you." "Your welcome." He said with a smile. He was walking around me. "What are you doing?" I said confused. "Making sure they-" he gasps and wiped something off my back. "Take off your sweater." "Why?" "Just do it." I took off my sweater.he took it and pointed to the purple stain on the back. "Oh..." I said. "Yea. You don't wanna have that on your clothes." He walked away with my sweater. "I'm going to wash it." Liam said. Blaze walked up to me. "I'm so sorry for leaving you alone!" He said, taking my hands. "It's okay." "Ahem..." Griffin made a noise. Blaze put his hands up in the air releasing my own. He walked over to Griffin. "Sorry..." Blaze said hugging him. "It's okay babe." Griffin said, hugging him back. "Huh?" I was confused. "Oh. We are in a relationship." Griffin said. "Oh." I said in response.
