TYRALIUM

Chapter 11

"Desmond killed him." Nick said and we all gasped "In combat."

"That's impossible." I doubted "Desmond knows nothing about fighting."

"Well, I guess there's something you don't know about him." Nick said "Actually, there's a lot you don't know about him."

"No, no, no!" Ramson yelled "You're lying. You're all lying. Desmond isn't a murderer."

"I swear. I saw him thrust the sword through Akalo's heart." Nathaniel assured "I'm gonna kill that kid."

We all sat in the room, thinking with frustrated looks.

Why had Desmond joined Limuel? What did Limuel tell him to change his mind? Or, maybe what did Limuel do, to change his mind? What if Nick is lying, and this so called agency are rather the bad guys in this case? In any case, what do I do? Men! This is a drag!

Right then, we heard gun shots from outside.

"Aww, not again!" I exclaimed "I'm tired of this!"

"Take cover!" Nick yelled sliding himself down to the wall.

We all hid behind the wall. Immediately, bullets flew into the house through the windows, destroying everything.

"What do we do?" Philip yelled removing his gun.

"Entanglement." Shiyah said.

They all gasped, except for Ramson and I. We were still confused about what they were talking about.

"I've the scanner." Drake said.

"And I've the particle." Nick said.

Drake and Nick threw two small balls unto the ground. The two balls transformed into two chambers. One was labeled particle chamber on top, and the other was labeled scanner.

"Get into the scanner!" Nick yelled.

Immediately, we all started running for it, but unfortunately, a bomb flew into the room, and the house blew up.

"Where are we?" I asked opening my eye.

My arms were tied with a chain to a wall, and I hang in the air. Ramson and Shiyah were beside me. They were already awake.

"Where are they?" A voice asked "The Tyralium kids."

"I said we don't know." Shiyah yelled.

"Just wait, until Limuel shows up." The voice said again, and showed up.

It was a teenage girl, with a yellow coloured hair, and a brown skin. She had a mark across her face.

"My family is worried, don't you love anyone?!" Ramson yelled.

"Love?" The girl said, with a chuckle "What's that?"

"D . . . Don't you have friends?" Ramson asked, but softly, this time.

"Friends?" The girl asked again.

"Ramson." I whispered "Let's do it. It's gonna be like those moments in movies where the bad guy is taught about love and friendship."

"Yeah. This will change her." Ramson said.

"What?" Shiyah interrupted "You can't be serious. This is real life."

We ignored her, though.

"Yeah." Ramson said to the girl "Take me for example. My best friends are Nathaniel, Jraidson, and - and . . ." It was hard to mention the name, but he overcame it "Desmond."

"We've been in a lot together." I continued.

"Together?" She asked again.

"Yeah, like the time we lied to Vanessa that Desmond kissed Tasha." I said.
