TYRALIUM

Chapter 10

We reappeared in front of a huge building.

"That was so cool!" Ramson yelled "We just teleported!"

"Quiet." Shiyah whispered "We've to avoid detection."

"What else can you do?" Ramson asked again.

"Shh!" Shiyah shushed silencing Ramson.

She inserted her index finder, into her ear, "Yeah . . . We're here . . . What? We're on our way." Then she turned to us "We need to go."

"Where? What's going on?" I asked.

"It seems, your friend, Desmond or whatever, has joined Limuel." Shiyah said.

"Like he would ever." Ramson doubted.

"Yeah. Not funny, Shiyah" I said.

"Follow me, and see for yourself!" She said.

She teleported us to the top of a building not far away from the house we stood in front of earlier.

"Can you warn us, before you do that?" I said, adjusting my eyes.

"Yeah. It feels kinda dizzy." Ramson said.

"But I thought you two said you were ready." She sighed "Just . . . look down. You'll see."

I looked down through the window, and saw Nick, Akalo, and Nathaniel standing in front of Limuel, and Desmond, with a lot of guards behind them.

Shiyah removed a small ball-like structure from her ear.

"Listen, and watch." She said.

"I . . . I don't understand." A voice came out of the tiny ball.

"Nathaniel's voice." Ramson and I realised.

"We don't expect you to?" Desmond's voice said "Neither do we need you to."

"Got your answer. You satisfied?" Limuel said.

"Desmond. Leave that fool alone!" Nathaniel pleaded.

There was silence for sometime, but then Desmond broke the silence.

"They're on top of that building." He said, pointing at us.

Immediately, a woman appeared above us, swinging a sword for our necks.

"We're safe for now." Shiyah said "But I don't know how long, now that they've Desmond on their side."

We were in a deserted slum. For some reason, nobody was there.

"How? Why would Desmond join that guy?" Ramson thought "It just doesn't make sense."

I was just silent. Well, speechless is the better word.

We entered one of the houses, and made ourselves home, even though it wasn't our home.

"We're gonna stay here for the night." Shiyah told us.

At night Ramson slept, but Shiyah and I stayed awake, just chatting and staring at the stars of the sky.

"Who new? I wonder what they'll look like." Shiyah said.

"Horrible, obviously." I said, and she burst into laughter. "What? That's how aliens in movies look like."

"Well, they were strong, if they were able to capture Titans." Shiyah said.

Shiyah had a long black, and special green eyes. She was almost my height, and most importantly, she was well shaped. Well, not most importantly, but you get guys of these days.
