"Astrid your sister was taken by the King's League." I wasn't the best at sugar coding situations. Tears fell off of her eyes and spilled onto her hands like tiny little nukes.
"How the hell do you know that? Did you trace her with a Transer?" She started biting her fingernails.
I huffed loudly. "Her Transer isn't working. They probably crushed it."
Her hands started fidgeting and she looked askance. "You aren't trying hard enough!"
"Woah. Calm down!" I've never seen this side of her.
She flew up from her chair and hurled herself at me. I had no choice but to block with all my might. I was the Knight Leader and she was the Fools Leader- I was surely going to win whatever fight was about to commence.
Astrid threw her bony fist at my face and I ducked. I then kicked her legs out from under her and she hit her head onto the polished wooden floor.
She groaned and I picked her back up, hauling her to the Hospital Wing.

Zhala knocked harshly on my bedroom door. "Apollo! It's Isaac."
I know what he wants me for. I put down my mobile smartscreen aped up out of my bed.
I trudged over to the door where Isaac is standing firmly with his arms crossed."Conference room."
I nodded and he turned on his heel, leaving me to follow in his wake.
I sat down in my usual gray chair and looked around the room. Isaac to my right and Rex to my left. I glanced at the end of the table. There was a girl sitting slumped in a chair.
"Ryn?" I questioned.
She waved, and I realized that we haven't met. "I'm Apollo Vassen-"
Isaac grumbled and I rolled my eyes. He then started speaking. "The King has sent us a letter saying that he has Ria alive and we need to hand Ryn over to get her back."
"So it's a matter of which girl is more important?" Rex asked.
Isaac solemnly nodded and I took a deep breath.
"We then got a letter from Terrin that was addressed to Ryn. It said that he'd like to fight us. He also said to bring Ryn along or else he'll blow up the football stadium." Isaac tapped his fingers on the table.
Ryn look unimpressed and just stared at her cut up hands.
"Well, how are we going to keep her safe from the King's League? They might try to snatch her, Considering she's like what- the most wanted rebel in London." I asked.
Isaac glared at me. "I'm having her bring her friend."
"That Jeremy kid?" Rex asked. Isaac gave a tiny nod.
Suddenly Ryn got up and left the room, Isaac trailing after her.
