In the past chapter:

The best have failed.
The most beautiful have become ugly.
The peaceful forest has turned into a battlefield.
There is a group that can stop the endless battle.
They are called the Protectors.
Every Protector can only get his or her full power when he or she joins the group.
Till you join the Protectors you are a so called Wanderer.
You can't protect everyone, but you can protect the world from fading to black, becoming bad.
Find the Protectors, don't wait, because soon the battle will begin.
Fight my precious daughter.
Fight and you will win.
I know you can do this.
I and my team failed to safe the world.
Now it's the task of you and the other Protectors to safe the world.
Good luck. You will need it.

I try to open my eyes, but it feels like they are glued together with the best glue that exists. Next I try to move my arms and legs, I notice though that non of them are moving.

What did the needle contain? It sure was something that prevents me from running away, but I don't get why the person said that he finally has me. It's so weird. Why would anyone want to have me? And what was that voice I heard when I blacked out?

I have the feeling that I'm 'bout to be really fucked up. Getting away isn't easy this time, but I have to find a way to escape. I don't know what those people want to do with me and I can assure you that I already don't like it. Well, would you like it if this happened to you? Nah. Probably not.
I guess you would freak ou-

"I know you're awake. Open your eyes."

What? How? I can't move anything.

The person sighs.
"Use your powers and you can open your eyes and do everything you want."

My powers? Sucker. I don't have any powers yet.

"You have them. Just use it, okay?"
He says while being more and more annoyed.
"Then I'll tell you everything."

Fuck you.

He laughs.
"Seriously? The only thing that you think when an annoyed, maybe dangerous person says that you have to do something is fuck you? So many things you can say and than... this? It's hilarious."

I get mad and want to slam him in his face and then all of the sudden, my eyes filled with anger, open up.
My body starts moving towards him and before I know it I have slapped him in his face. Hard.
His cheek is getting a red and blue color. Oops. But the strange thing is, that he doesn't seem to mind.

"Who are you?" I ask him.

"I'll tell you that, but first you need to come with me."

He walks away, towards a door that I haven't seen. I stay right at the place I am and when he notices that I'm not walking with him he turns around.

"May I guess that you want to see your friend?" He asks with one eyebrow pulled up.

Does he mean... Lucas?

"Yes I mean Lucas. Are you coming with me now?"

I don't say anything and walk towards him.

"Shall we go?" I ask him.

"Yes ma'am." He says and walks away with a smile on his face.
What's so funny?

I walk behind him, but when I look around me, my attention is no longer at him. I see that I'm in somekind of an old castle. It has many rooms and they are very, very big.
It has high walls, painted in the most beautiful colors ones, but now faded to more grey-like colors.
It can even be that we're in a monastory. The roof is dome, surrounded by 6 a bit higher castle-like towers.
It is like someone has put an castle and a monastory together and it became a beautiful piece of art.
I don't know how old it could be. At some places it lookes like the whole building can be a ruin in a few years, at other places it looks like it is new and very modern.

I suddenly crash into something.
When I look up I see that the something is the boy who's name I still don't know.

"My name's Joshua, but I prefer Josh."

"Why did you say that?"
He nervously laughs.

"Well uhh.. I can read your mind? Well everyones mind actually, but I heard everything you thought the whole time."

Yeah, sure. And I'm a gummybear. Don't ya dare to react on that.

"Couldn't you tell me earlier?-No wait why can you do that?"

He looks at me with a face that says somthing like: "I wanna tell it, but I can't. What do I have to do now?"

"I .. uhh... I think... that uhh Lucas has.. to tell you?" Josh says. Well, it's more asking.

"Then tell me where Lucas is."
He points at the door right in front of us.

"Yeah.. why would it even surprise me. I'm really dumb somethimes..."
I say with a laugh.

"Haha. Your not the only one. The king of being dumb is standing right here." Josh laughs, which causes me to laugh too.

I hate to admit it, but it feels comfortable here. It's like I've known this place for a long while, but it's the first time I am here.

I get out of my thoughts when Josh opens the door. It looks like a heavy wooden door, that stands here for a long time.

When the door is fully open I see Lucas hanging. Yes you hear it good HANGING. I turn around and look pissed off at Josh.

"WHY THE FUCK IS HE HANGING AT THE WALL?!" I scream at Joshua.
His face is filled with fear and confusion in his eyes.

"I don't know." He answers slowly.
"One of the others must have done it, because when I was here the last time, he was still laying in his bed."

I sigh.

"Whatever just tell me how to get him down." I say frustrated.
Josh walks towards Lucas and touches the metal with his hands. Right at the moment he does that the metal disappears and Lucas is freed from it.
I run towards him and catch him right before he lands on the ground.

"Kendra?" I hear Lucas softly mumble.

"Yes Lucas? Are you alright?" I ask him worried.

"Except for the huge amount sleeping pills I have gotten, I am totally fine. I couldn't sleep when you were unconscious, you know."

"But do you know what's happening here?" I ask him.

He sighs.

"Yes I know and I will explain it to you." He says while closing his eyes. "Is it good if I sleep off those sleeping pills for a bit? 'Cause I'm super tired. You'll meet the others too."

"Ofcourse. Take the rest you need, but tell me what's going on right when you wake up. Okay?"

He mumbles something which vaguely sounds like sure, but I don't know. I can only hope nothing bad is going on.

Wait. Did he just say that I'll meet the others too? There are more people?
