Air Kingdom

Chapter 14- Sydney

The icing and cake landed on the guests closest to it. Their $1000 gowns and suits were ruined, but it was worth it to see Sophie and her minions having a mental breakdown. People were freaking out while the guards attempted to control the wild crowd. Everyone was too distracted to notice the green gas from the cake, seeping into the room.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Cried the same man who yelled at us to hurry up and cut the cake, but he soon crumpled to the ground. Screams of terror were being made as the gas began to surround the people in the room. Students, guards, and the rich were collapsing to the ground.

"Bye Emma, see you soon." Whispered Hudson as he also fell into a deep sleep. The gas came towards me and I couldn't see anything as the fumes closed in on me. I crumbled to the marble floor as well, but my mind was racing and wide awake.

When all the screaming and sounds of guests falling to the ground were gone, Seiro, Emily, Ellia and I stood up.

"That actually worked!" I squealed. We high-fived each other and started to leave.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" The four of us spun around to see Kameron still standing.

"Language...." I muttered.

"How are you still awake?" Asked Ellia.

"I always inject an antidote in my body every day," Kameron furiously explained. "Were the bombs used before mine?!"

Since Hudson and Seiro were sharing a dorm with Kameron, getting the syringes and bombs were simple. Kameron apparently kept all his weapons in the open. I don't know who would do that, but let one of the muscle men to figure that out.

Our original plan was to have Ellia or Emily sneak out of the party, and release the bombs in the events which would allow it to spread throughout the whole palace. When we told Ellia however, she started complaining about how dull and boring it was. "A good jokester always exits with a dramatic prank." Those were Ellia's exact words. We weren't planning to leave "dramatically" but she insisted.

We decided to change our plan and shock the guests when we left. Ellia was ecstatic when we accepted her little twist to our ideas. It involved the cake.

Seiro had gotten the highest score in baking class. The teachers were surprised by his grades, but in case of an emergency, all bodyguards must be trained and skilled in cooking. That had earned Seiro a chance to help create the food and cake for tonight's meals. I don't know how he snuck in the bomb, but it had worked.

"Maybe...." I said, answering Kameron's question. "Seiro, can you please take care of this riff-raff?"

Kameron looked incredibly insulted by my words, but his facial expression disappeared as Seiro hit the back of his head with Des, his twin blades. He now had a red bump on the back of his head.

"Is he going to be okay?"

"Don't worry Master Emma. He won't have a concussion. Just a massive headache." I nodded and headed towards my Father's limp body. I reached into his pockets to hold up a set of keys and a card.

Ellia was right beside me, holding a permanent marker with the lid off.

"You can't draw faces on the king!" I exclaimed.

"Fine fine fine.... I'll draw something on Headmistress Kiera." She said.

"Go ahead, if you get in trouble, it's your fault," I muttered.

Ellia hopped over to her unconscious form and started doodling. When she was done, I noticed something strange about her marker. "I've never seen that brand before." I pointed out.
