Sparks of The End

Chapter 5 Part 2

Zoey P.O.V. (I'm Sorry)

   Zoey woke up after what seemed like a second of her eyes being closed. Lalna was shaking her gently, while Teep was by his side looking worried and anxious.

"Wha-What?" Zoey said, sitting up and almost falling over again, but Lalna caught her.

   "Hey, you okay?" Lalna said looking her in the eyes, "Why wouldn't I be?" Zoey narrowed her eyes at him, brushing a piece of hair behind her ear.

   "Can you stand?" He said holding her hand and standing up, avoiding the question. "Yeah, but why-?" She tried to say as she got up, her legs felt like jelly as they crumbled.

"Whoa!" Lalna mumbled, catching her again, how long am I going to be like this?

   "Why am I so dizzy?" Zoey growled losing temper with her brain. "Nausea 3:00 hours, It's powerful, not sure how the zombie boss got a hold of that stuff." Lalna replied quickly startling Zoey.

   Zoey struggled away from Lalna to lean on Teep, yawning Zoey asked, "Where's Rythian." Lalna's eyes got wider, or so Zoey thought she couldn't be sure, "That's what I wanted to wake you up." She mumbled quietly almost so quiet Zoey didn't hear him.

  "Why? What happened?" Zoey mumbled, confused, narrowing her eyes slightly. "How much do you remember?" Lalna asked her talking gently but a bit louder then before. Zoey put a hand to her temple, "Umm,"

  "I remember a hissy voice and one voice full of growls, and then I heard a glass bottle shatter and I blacked out." Zoey said, trying to recall everything that had happened. "And then I remember waking up and falling on something, I think it was purple?" Zoey shook her head trying to make sense of her jumbled thoughts.

  "That's new, you fell on something purple?" Lalna asked, tapping a finger on his chin as if he was writing down notes in his mind. "Yeah, I think so. So, where's Rythian?" She asked again, her vision getting clearer.

  "Xephos woke up first, he woke me and Honeydew up because he said he couldn't find Rythian. One by one we started waking everyone up, but we let you sleep longer because we weren't sure how to deal with this problem." Lalna explain, Zoey felt her heart race.

Rythian's gone.

  "Isn't obvious what we do? We have to go find him!" Zoey shouting in disgust, "We can't just leave him around here." Teep shifted at her side in agreement.

  "Zoey, that's Xeph's call. Besides, you know Rythian better then anyone, you know he's strong enough to hold on while we figure things out." Lalna answered, adjusting the goggles on his head.

  "Are you all crazy?" Zoey screamed at him a little to loud, automatically Lomadia popped up behind her and grabbed her arm. She glared at Lalna and lead Zoey a little ways away from the group.

   "Zoey you need to relax," Lomadia said looking into her eyes. "Is it really that simple? How would you feel if Xephos went missing and you had no idea where he was. And you wouldn't know if he was dead or alive." She said bitterly, returning Lomadia's glaze. "I would do everything in my power to find him." She answered coldly, "Then you understand why I need to find Rythian!" She struggled, but Lomadia held both her arms down.

  She sighed, "But is that the best plan? We need to restock and eat, we need to rest, locate where Rythian is. Then we need to determine whether or not we can attack that area, and whether or not to get him later." Lomadia rambled on, but her gaze changed suddenly, "Rythian taught you to fight, not to trust. Zoey, there's no way either of you are getting through this without trusting us."

  Lomadia let go out Zoey's arms and stood up. She lend a hand to Zoey.

  Zoey took a deep breath, "I trust you." She said taking Lomadia's hand and smiled. Lomadia smiled back.

And the moment you've all been waiting for...

Rythian P.O.V.

2 Hours earlier

    Rythian's eyes opened if on command, his interesting night vision made the dark room see-able. There we're a few crates of something that smelled foul to Rythian, He also noticed he was tied up on a wooden chair, same as Minty was.

  He felt a huge throb from his head as he remembered what had happened in the tower. He knew he was kidnapped, and he also knew his mask had been removed.

  He knew from the moment he woke up, because he could feel that air touch his mouth, it burned. He knew it only burned because it hadn't touched oxygen in forever.

  He moved his hands, they were tied fairly tight, and behind his back. He knew that he couldn't get out then easy. He needed something sharp to cut the rope.

  Rythian scanned the room again, nothing of use was there. He let out an angry sigh, his voice was clearing then usual. The mask was off, he'd need to find something to cover it again. That burning wasn't going to go away.

  Rythian looked at his belt, they'd confiscated most of his belongings. But he had one secret, one that only Zoey knew about. He used his elbow to knock against he right pocket, out came a small dark matter knife.

  Rythian smiled at his past selves cleverness, he scooted the knife closer to his hands until he could grab it. He pressed the blade in between palms, he pushed it against the rope. He felt the knife scratch his hands, the blood fall to the floor. But that wasn't the point.

  He felt the rope break under the pressure of the blade. He grabbed the knife in his less damaged hand and cut the rope at his feet. Allowing himself to stretch, now the potion was kicking in. Making him fairly dizzy.

  Rythian got to his feet, ignoring the pounding of his head. Rythian had almost forgot to look for a door, when he turned around and saw it. He knew he was in no condition to fight, but standing in one place wasn't going to get him anywhere. So he advance to the door.

  He opened it slowly, and walked inside another room. This one was lit, there was computers and two figures standing in front of them, arguing.

  Rythian took the opportunity to look around the room completely, he saw a little shelf with his stuff on it. Quietly he grabbed his stuff and put it in their proper places.

  Rythian turned to face the two creatures, he cleared his throat which made them turn.
