Flames of Chaos

6.

I couldn't believe I actually followed the villains to their kingdom.

This could be a trap, this probably was a trap if I was honest.

But I always was a sucker for danger.

I think? Couldn't really remember it.

I looked at the kingdom, Atarah. It was absolutely beautiful.

Stormi and Chaos were walking next to me as we walked through the streets. They were greeted as heros.

But they weren't.

Every single person was wearing armor, or some sort of weapon. They were definitely preparing for war.

And it looked as if they were ready to start it soon.

"So you live in a castle too?" I asked as I looked at the castle in front of us. More like a palace.

While Velora's castle looked dark and scary, this one looked surprisingly.. nice?

"Are we comparing castles now?" Chaos looked at me with a smile.

"He's the leader of Atarah so obviously he lives here" Stormi interrupted him, already walking inside.

She was definitely a character. Remind me not to pick a fight with her.

Chaos and I followed her to wherever she was going.

"Oh great" she mumbled as she walked in to what seemed to be a kitchen.

"Oh hello Auri" a guy was sitting on the kitchen counter, kicking his legs back and forth.

"Do I know you?" I frowned.

I couldn't remember him at all, but then again, I remembered no one.

He was wearing a leather jacket, black pants, black shirt. His hair shorter on the sides and he had a cut going from his eyebrow to his eye.

"I am quite hurt that you don't remember me" he put his hand on his chest. "We shared such an amazing kiss"

Stormi rolled her eyes, all annoyed. "Shut up Riven"

"You can always make me shut up" he now turned to Stormi, with his eyebrow raised.

"I would rather die"

"One day, I'm gonna make this snowflake melt" Riven let out a chuckle as he pointed at Stormi.

What was going on here? This was not how I expected it to be.

Not that I really knew what to expect. Did I think they were gonna make evil villain plans at their kitchen table?

Maybe yeah.

"So what am I doing here? Why did you take me to a egg making guy?" I pointed at Riven, who tilted his head all offended. "You loved my eggs"

Did I?

Stormi chuckled. "I am starting to like her"

"No, you're here because I want to show you how powerful you are" Chaos said. "Because Phoenix never will"

"How?"

"I will clear the gardens out, make sure no one is around, meet me there" he said, already walking out.

How was I supposed to know where the gardens were?

"I wanna see this" Stormi said as she walked after him. "Oh me too" Riven jumped off the counter, turning the stove off.

"Awesome" Stormi mumbled.

"Before you ask" Riven turned to me. "Yes she's always that grumpy"

"Are you guys dating or something?" I asked.

And why did we kiss? Was I in love with Riven or something?

"Unfortunately not" he fake sighed, put his eggs on two plates and gave one plate to me. "But she's warming up to me"

"I can see that" I chuckled, looking down at the plate. "Is this for me?"

"Yes obviously" he handed me a fork and leaned against the counter. "Maybe it will bring back those memories"

So I definitely already ate his eggs. Which didn't add up with what Rio told me.

If they kidnapped me, why would I be eating eggs with what seemed to be Chaos' best friend.

"Are you Chaos' friend?" I asked, taking a bite from the eggs.

He nodded, doing the same. "His best friend, but he prefers to be called Jamie though"

"His name is Jamie?"

"Yeah" he nodded, taking another bite.

"It sounds so.." I paused. "Friendly?"

He chuckled. "Guess his mother didn't get the memo that he would turn out to be a villain"

"So he is the villain?"

He sighed, putting his plate away. "To Velora yes, to Phoenix too, but not for us, to us, he's just Jamie"

"But you're his friend, your vision might be a bit blurred"

"Might be" he shrugged. "Why don't you go figure that out for yourself?"

I nodded, put the plate away. "Thanks for the eggs, they were actually decent"

"Decent?" He frowned.

"Pretty good" I chuckled.

"That's more like it" He nodded with a smile. "Now let's go look at your powers" he gestured to follow him.

My powers?
