The Final Fight : the Haunted

Ch.39- fallen

Grayson pov

Thoughts flooded my mind. Luke. He was my best friend but he betrayed me. He turned me in when I took the egg. But if he really was leading a rebellion then perhaps he has changed. I decided to accept the offer. I wasn't sure what drove me to do it. Everyone seemed skeptical about this since we were trying to avoid the empire.

Time skip few days

We had gotten to the empire and there was in fact a rebellion. Part of the empire was destroyed. Buildings destroyed by fighting. It was silent and we have been here for a day and I haven't seen Luke.

I heard a knock on the door. Some own had brought us to some building.  I looked up and he walked in. Like looked the same from when I last saw him. He was silent and looked at me with regret in his eyes. I stood up and just hugged him before he could say anything.

Luke's POV

I was nervous to face Grayson after what I had done all those years ago. When I saw him I tried to find words but I couldn't. He stood up and I thought he was going to do something but he  just hugged me. I was surprised. I was relieved.

"Grayson in so sorry for what I did. I didn't know he would go that far....I-I-"
I stuttered.

"Luke. Listen. I'm sorry too. I know you did it because of the money involved in it. I know your family was struggling. Look right now I've been through a lot and I quit holding onto the past and learned to forgive once I found out why." He said, stopping  my rambling. It was nice to have an old friend back.

"So you are head of the rebellion?" He asked.

"Yep. I helped start it too. We are going to strike the palace soon. End this once and for all. Reshape the empire. The government. Everything." I focused on the task ahead of us now.

"Ok so there are a few things I might need to catch you up on. I also want you to meet some people." He smiled and took me somewhere. It must of been the house he was staying at since he got here. I heard he had a group of friends with him.

"Guys I'm back and I have someone with me!"

"In here Grayson!" A female voice echoes from the other room. I could hear some laughing from what sounded like a girl and a boy. We walked into a room. Three people where in there. A girl and two boys. She had a backpack in her lap like she was hiding something in it.

"This is Luke. Luke that's Mia, Drake, and Armen." He smiled. They all have small waves. I remember see wanted posters for the the three of them. I had some basic information about who they were. It probably wasn't all true so I guess I'll get the full story later.

"Ok it was nice meeting you. I have to go. I'll be back later. Grayson I'll fill you in on everything then ok?" He nodded.  The girl who I presumed to be Mia smiled.
Just as I was about to walk out I heard a muffled snort. I turned around and saw Mia igh ten her grip on the backpack as it moved slightly. Grayson grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room. "What was that." I questioned. "Nothing don't worry about it. Maybe you'll find out later." He gave a nervous smile. Thud. "Grayson" he obviously wasn't going tell me so I let it drop and left.

Mia's POV

Grayson introduced us to his friend luke. Syrith was in the backpack so he wouldn't see him. Just as he was about to leave he got fidgety and almost gave himself away but Grayson pulled Luke out at the last minute. Armen just sat there laughing at my efforts to hold the dragon as it kept wanting to go to Grayson. Drake laughed a little too. I glared at the two of them for not helping. Grayson came back in and took the dragon. This was going to be interesting.
