Confessions

"And you shall know, Levin. You are going to be held in custody, officially by the Dark Realm. That means you'll be under me."

That was the first thing I heard after regaining my consciousness. I was on laying on the floor, my hands and legs tied with chains. I guess they were pretty overprotective.

I glanced around and saw my pals in the same condition. They were playing dead, I assumed. The voice belonged to the blue haired boy who must've brought us here.

Weird. He just called Jayden by his real name, is he the leader of Dark Realm or something?

"Oh, so you're awake."

Whoops, he caught me staring at him. Behind him, I could see Jayden tied to the ground so tightly that he couldn't even move an inch.

Woah, that must mean he's pretty dangerous, even for the Dark Realm.

I glanced around and found that we weren't in Jayden's room anymore.

"Ahem, ladies. I think we can stop the act now." He said. Myura and the other glared at him. "Oh, where are my manners? You may call me Dwayne."

"Liar! That's not your name." I yelled, "I know that word is from your language, and it means 'Dark'. You're using it as a code!"

He sighed in defeat, "Uh-oh. Looks like we've got a smart one here."

The room we were in seemed pretty deserted. It looked like a room for prisoners, there were so many chains in there.

Just then, Jackie's eyes fluttered open as she weakly tried to stand up, but of course the chains prevented her to do so.

"A-Aren't you the. . . Spy?" She stammered. Suddenly it all came to me.

He seemed like a high rank guy from the Government of Dark Realm. Now that I think about it, he does look like that guy who was stalking us at the cafe. Jackie must be wondering the same thing.

But what was he talking to Jayden about? Something about a custody, correct? He definitely was from the Government. Are they taking Jayden in because he escaped and betrayed them? Does Jayden really seek revenge?

"Hey, you." He pointed at me, "I'm interested in you. I mean, all the ladies here are quite the fascinating type, but you. . . You know him quite well, don't you?" He questioned, pointing towards Jayden.

I frowned. That flattery wasn't gonna work on me. "I don't give out information that easily. Neither do I sell put my comrades." I glanced towards my friends once again. They were all amazing, always supporting me. Jackie and Myura, although they both fought a lot, both of them were reliable and trustworthy. I had spent all of my life with these guys.

"Hey, if you want then you can betray us. It's like we're forcing you or anything." Maiko teased. She was the most bizarre one. She would make the most awkward comments at the most awkward situations. I smiled at my teammates.

We were all thinking the same thing.

Absorb as much information as possible.

I was looking towards Jayden, uncertain of what was going kn. That's when the Dwayne said, "I am a senior ranking member. And yes, I belong to the Dark Realm and everybody calls me from my code name, Dwayne." He started walking in circles. I tried to break my chain, but it was useless. The chain was formed of strange particles. . . Perhaps some weird metal from the Dark Realm. But all hope was not lost.

"Hey, Dwayne. Tell us, why are we here? Are you gonna kill us?" I said hopefully, expecting my question to be answered.

"Hmm, let's see." He stopped walking and reached up to Jayden. He pulled him up so we could see him clearly.
