Book #1 Covenant

Chapter 6: Captive

The four of them sat there, waiting for their sentence to whatever punishment the Leaders would give them. They had explained what happened in the fight, how the three bullies attacked them first, and that they had only been defending themselves. The Leaders, after being told what happened by the four of them told them to wait as they talked together in the next room together. Ten minutes had passed and no word had been given to them. The three bullies were now hospitalized and being taken care of, they were beaten and defiantly would not forget what Sam and his friends had done to them. A Leader walked out of the room adjacent to the one they were in, came to the table and stood there, head bowed. Lifting his head he looked at the four of them.

"Come with me." He said. The four of them stood as the Leader turned on his heal and faced the door leading to the next room. He walked forward followed closely by Sam and his friends. They walked into the next room, three other leaders sat there with translucent screens in front of them. The man who they were following gestured to four seats in front of the table, Samuel took the seat in the middle with Josef on his right, Mike on his left and Justin beside Josef. The Leader who they were following took his seat on the other end of the table next to the other three.

"So, we've gone over and pondered what you said about what took place between you and these so called bullies, by what we can tell by looking at the tape you boys told the truth." The four of them exchanged relived looks then back at the Leaders. "We understand that you acted out of self defense. That being said, you hospitalized those three boys." The Leader had a stern look on his face, his eyes showed no mercy but suddenly changed into a happy sort of look. "Our decision has been made! There will be no punishment for you four, the three bullies we think have suffered enough and will soon join us back at Battle school. Now, if this ever happens again please let us know first thing."

With that, the Leader rose to his feet and shook their hands. "You are dismissed!" He said while raising his voice happily.

They had taken him down to the lower floors of the building, passing several rooms each one different than the first. The doors for each room were labeled in the Galkara language, a language that no one understood except the Galkara. "Hmm, a pity we haven't tried to learn it." Aiden thought to himself. The Galkara led him down a long hallway, with each step he took anxiety filled him with what would happen to him, what they were planning on doing. His plan to escape had failed. His hand ls were bound with tight chord behind him and two Galkara guards held his arms on either side. Two more guards were located in front and behind him making it impossible, stupid even to try escaping.

They stopped in front of a large bolted down and locked door. The guard in front of him walked over to the key pad on the door and punched in a combination. A hissing sound was made as the door was unlocked, a white smoke like substance flew out and evaporated causing Aiden to cough as it traveled down his throat.

The Galkarian guard, as he now called them, roughly shoved him forward into the room. Two large circular containers stood in the middle of the room, tubes were connected too each, colors differentiated from each tube. The smaller of the two containers opened revealing metal clamps that were connected to the sides of the container by chains. There were four of them, one for each hand and one for each leg.

"Wonder what kind of lovely device they have come up with! Just can't wait to see!" He thought sarcastically.

Aiden was forced inside the container. Guards strapped his arms and legs into the metal clamps, securing them. His heart pounded, his head began to spin. Desperately he tried to free himself from the grasp of his chains, but the more he tried the tighter they got. The door started to close, he could hear the mental gears screeching as they started to move. The guards walked over to a command desk and waited for the door to shut completely. Aiden pulled as hard as he could on the chains, his nerves thundered. The door shut, locking him inside. A speaker inside the container clicked on. "tell is what we want to know and we will release you." Said the Galkarian. The voice was cruel and Dark. Aiden raised his head to look at the speaker. "Whatever you do can't make me talk."
