Blocks in the Sky (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 7 - Betrayal

I have old lady vision and I'm only 13 and a half. I'M GONNA BE BLIND BY THE TIME I'M 16 AAAAH D: I really hope not...

Anyway, just to clear things up so it's not as confusing:

Warriors = people of Waria

Craftians = people of Craftia

Warians = those teamed up to stop the war

Chapter 7:

The Warians stood around a table, looking over a map of Waria so they'd all be familiar with the island.

Mitch was in the middle of showing some of the most important locations on the map. "So on the north side of Waria, there's--" He stopped himself when the lights suddenly flickered, and then shut off completely.

"Why'd the power go off?" Lizzy asked, inching closer to Jimmy.

"Okay, everyone just stay calm and grab a weapon or find a way to defend yourself just in case," Kylie whispered almost too quietly for anyone around her to hear. There was the sound of swords and other weapons shuffling as they all grabbed one. Then, it was silent except for breathing and beating hearts.

They heard light footsteps, but none of their own. Next were the thumps of bodies hitting the floor, possibly dead. Those still standing couldn't move due to the cold fear overcoming them.

"That was fun," a voice said as the lights flickered back on. In one corner, the Warriors were huddled together with weapons drawn in front of them. Around the room lay the bodies of the Craftians. Then sitting on the table, smirking and laughing, were the two attackers, each with a sword and a mask and their unmistakable brightly-colored hair.

"You owe me twenty bucks," Reese said to Xander, hopping off the table. She looked over to the Craftians. "And by the way, they're not dead...yet."

"Reese, what the fuck?!" Sparky exclaimed, stepping forward as the others did too.

"I'd like to ask you all the same thing," Reese said, motioning to the Craftians, then the map still on the table. "What the fuck are you guys doing here?!"

"We're trying to stop this war that YOUR dad started!" Mitch said, coming closer to her than any of the others dared.

She clenched her fists. "Are you fucking kidding me?! You're practically betraying your own people! Don't make me kill you idiots too!"

Mitch glanced back at the others and nodded slightly. In an instant, Kylie and Sparky grabbed Xander, and Jerome and Dakota grabbed Reese.

Reese raised her eyebrows and gave them an are-you-fucking-serious look. "Really?"

"We're just trying to make peace," Mitch told her. "And we're not just gonna stop because of you."

She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do then? If you kill me or Xander, you'll have my dad and a bunch of Warriors out to get you. What else is there for you to do?"

Brandon stepped closer and finally decided to speak. "Then we could just get you on our side. Even if we have to force you."

Reese laughed again, this time with Xander joining in. "What makes you think you can get us to join you fuckers? Just because we're friends doesn't mean I'm gonna side with you all against my dad."

She was so busy talking that she hadn't noticed she and Xander had been tied to chairs. "How cliche. What's next? You're gonna torture us?"

"Maybe," Sparky said.

Reese rolled her eyes. "Cute. Now how about you untie us, let us kill those Craftians, and we all go back to Waria to prepare for the war?"

Silence filled the room for about five seconds. Then Kylie simply said, "Nope."

Reese took a deep breath and exchanged looks with Xander. "Okay. Then what do you plan on doing with us?" she said as calmly as she could.

Mitch looked to the others, then back at her and smirked.

"What the fuck happened?" Tyler asked, rubbing his head as he stood up. He looked to his right, where the girl who tried to kill him and another Warrior stood behind iron bars. He took two steps back. "...And why are they here?"

"Long story," said Jerome. "The important thing is there's no way they can hurt anyone from in there."

"You can never be too sure," Xander said with a smirk.

As the rest of the Craftians awoke, the Warriors caught them up on what had just happened. After that, they resumed looking over the map of Waria.

"At the Waria Mansion, there's a secret entrance on the east side of the--"

"West side, dumbass," Reese cut in. "Under the rose bushes."

They all looked up at her. "What did you say, Reese?" Martin asked her.

"I didn't say anything," she answered, looking at the ground in front of her.

"Uh huh, sure," he said.

Reese sighed and leaned up against the wall, while everyone else continued their planning.
