The Final Fight : the Haunted

Ch.10-Prisoners

Mia's POV

We all stopped dead in our tracks as we saw mercenaries from the empire in the town. We had already passed some shops on the way into the town. Grayson started walking back wards when all of a sudden he walked into someone. A guard. 'Oh no'

The guard looked up and at Grayson who was motionless. Drake immediately stepped in front of Grayson and pushed him towards me.

"Oh sorry about him. He means no harm. We are just passing through. My friend here is clumsy so don't mind him." Drake smiled trying to play it off. Grayson didn't face the guard and he looked at me. I saw fear in his eyes.

"What do we do?" He whispered. I put my arm around Grayson and stepped back with him. The guard didn't seem to notice.

"Keep your head down and don't make eye contact." I whispered back.
"Why! Why is the empire here?" Grayson looked slightly agitated. I shrugged not sure why.

"Well watch where your going next time." The guard was annoyed.
"We will. I'm terribly sorry." The guard stared at drake for a second.
"hmm. What the heck are you supposed to be? Never seen your kind before." The guard started to laugh to himself. "Freak" he mumbled. Drake glared at him and looked annoyed. His hand balled in a fist. He turned to me and I glared. He looked at his hand and relaxed it. We started walking away. "Well that was cold" Grayson looked at drake. "Some people are just rude. Don't listen to him ok Drake. They are just a bunch of idiots" "yea I guess" he looked away. Hurt.

We continued walking when all of a sudden we heard the voice of the guard behind us. "Wait hold on a second. You three get back here." The guard grabbed drake by the arm and then pinned him to the wall. We were in an ally to there was only one place to go. More guards blocked the only way out. We were trapped.

"I found the thief!" The guard yelled and glared at Grayson. "I knew your face was familiar." Drake was struggling against the guard who was clearly strong than he was.

"Get off of me!" He tried hitting him in the face.

"Grayson what do we do!" I began to panic. I couldn't go back the empire. More guards had came and taken is by the arms. A fist soon met my face and everything went dark.

Grayson's POV

The last thing I saw was the guards knocking Mia out before everything went dark. I woke up in what looked like a cell. 'No no no this can't be happening.'

"Get him in a  cell. The emperor might want to see this one." Two guard were walking in. One was dragging drake into a cell and the other walking away. Drake had stood up at this point and slammed his hand into one of bars. He clutched his hand and winced from the pain.

"That wasn't smart now was it drake." I heard Mia and she sounded annoyed. "Why! I don't want to be here! I refuse to be a trophy again!" She slid down the wall onto the ground.

"Hey you don't have to be so rude." Drake snapped at her.

"You two stop fighting!" I yelled. "Grayson!" Both of them said.

I could see drake and Mia through the windows the cells had in between each other. Drake looked at me. I could see something on his ankle that was black and enchanted and looked like metal. He glanced down at it and looked back at me.

"What is that?"

"It's something that people would use on a Mage when they needed to restrain them. It doesn't allow me to use mana. It sucks!" He looked annoyed.

Five guard walked in. "You three are in for a treat."  They came in our cells and put cuffs on us and brought us out into the thrown room. Mia be gain to struggle more  when she saw the emperor.

"Oh look who it is. Grayson I was hoping to see you again old friend, but not like this. You could have turned yourself In awhile ago and none of this would be happening. I see you have an interesting choice in friends. Mia, nice to see you. And you. Your a Mage. I haven't seen your kind before. Hybrid. That's new. I'll add that to my list of new weird things I have discovered." Drake had looked down a and Mia's face was turning red from anger. I had nothing to say but one thing, "you are not my friend. YOU KILLED MY INTIRE FAMILY. HE WAS ONLY A BABY!" I looked away in tears. I tried my best to stop them but the memories were to much.

"Oh my god. Grayson." Mia looked at me. Concerned.
