New Age

Chapter 29 ~ This Is It, The Plot Twist In The Story.

Mika’s POV

“YOU’RE WORKING WITH THEM? THE SAME THINGS YOU PLANNED TO DESTROY WITH ME ONCE WE’D RUN AWAY TOGETHER? TOGETHER?!” I yell at him, I’m standing in front of him waving my arms around to exaggerate my point. He just looks at me and I give up. I collapse onto my bed and put my head on my knees, my hands clasped on the back of my head. I feel the bed sink next to me and I know that Drey has sat next to me.

“You told me you loved me.” I whisper and I hear him sigh. I look up, resting my arms on my thighs. I look at him as he looks at the window/mirror.

“You loved me Drey, or was that just another lie?” I whisper again. He looks at me and I see in his eyes that I’m right; it was just another lie. Putting my head down on my hands I realise that I will never forgive him and I will do everything to make him pay for betraying not just me, but also the whole of humanity.  

“I want you to go.” I whisper.

“Meek.” He says.

“Just don’t Drey, don’t lie to me again, don’t call me Meek, you know what, don’t even talk to me.” I start to sob.

“Damn it woman! I wasn’t going to lie to you or anything! I was going to show you the reason you’re here! I have any other reason to be anywhere near you! I don’t want to be anywhere near you! So will you just shut up and come with me?” He stands up and walks to the door.

My sobbing abruptly stops. As much as his words hurt me, they also healed me. I needed to hear those words, now I can get it into my mind he’s not feeling bad for me and he hates me as much as I hate him. It tied up a loose end and concluded a story of deception. So I get up and walk to stand next to him as the door slowly opens.

“Thank you.” He says exasperated.

“I’m not coming for you, I want to know why I’m here.” And with that the door comes to a halt and Drey leads me out.

Lucas’s POV

Holy crap, he lives in The White House. Didn’t the Queen live there?

“She used to but she hasn’t been here in so many years, the whole thing was abandoned, save a few Robo guards, but I took care of them.” E answers the question that I didn’t know I said out loud.

I nod and look like I’m chill with the whole thing but actually, I’m freaking out! When I was younger my biggest role model was Barack Obama, I had no idea of all the complicated politics behind his job but I was just so impressed that he’d been President for so long! He was a symbol of hope and success for me and I just loved him. Also the fact that my father talked non-stop about him was a big factor. So now seeing The White House and knowing that I’m about to go in is crazy, I mean, I’m going to sleep in the same place Barack Obama did!

“Come on Lucas.” I snap out of my thoughts and look ahead and see Spencer looking at me while Magna and E walk towards The White House. Here I go.

Mika’s POV

Silence settles in the air like a bad smell between Drey and I, he leads me down multiple corridors and we finally reach a big fancy copper door. When I fancy I mean manor gate type, with the pattern carved into the door. Vines climb up the sides of the doors while a landscape fills the middle where four people looking figures stand upon a hill.  

“Who is it?” A gruff voice asks from behind the door. I look at Drey as he answers the voice.

“ReyDay and IkaMay.” The door opens and I look at Drey.

“Pig Latin? Really?” A tiny smile forms on his lips.

“They don’t know that.” I wonder what he means by that. Then the door finally opens and I’m looking down another corridor, at least it’s shorter then the others. Drey motions for me to go inside, so I do.

At the end of the hallway there is another, less fancy door with two Robo guards in front of it. But the thing about these Robo is that they’re different. Normal Robo’s are white and made of plastic. But these ones, these Robo are made of some sort of metal and they’re shiny and silver, like a mirror. Drey walks up to one of them and shows it a pass of some sort. The Robo takes a while before looking at the other and nodding, then the door starts to open and I know this is it, this is the reason I’m here, the twig in the way of the ant, the lock on the door, the plot twist in the story. The door’s opening and it’s about to be revealed.

Lucas’s POV

I try not to drool as the doors open and I see the inside of The White House. Because my dad was quite a big scientist he came to one of The White House parties but he never went again, I mean he was invited but he said they were a waste of time that could be spent working. When he said working he meant the device he was creating to call over a bunch of evil alien robots that will destroy and enslave us all. I wish he’d gone to those parties.

Mika’s POV

They’re all staring at me. I’ve never been more unnerved in my life. It’s not the actual staring; it’s the way they stare. It’s a mix of confusion, amazement and fear. Like I shouldn’t exist but I do, you know that feeling when a book character you thought was dead suddenly turns up alive and well, that’s how they’re staring at me.  

Drey stops in front of the big head table and I stop too. In front of me is a big desk with a big metal Robo standing next to it. But behind the desk is a woman’s back.

“Kneel.” Says the big metal Robo standing to the side of me. I look at him like ‘are you serious?’

“Sorry mate but I’m not kneeling to nobody.” I huff, and then I see Drey kneel. That is like, unreal. Drey doesn’t take kneeling any better then I do. He sees me looking at him weirdly and he looks at the floor.

“Just kneel Mika.” I, I’m speechless, so I’m about to kneel when the back talks.

“Don’t kneel. We should be face to face when we meet.” Okay, that’s not kind of creepy.

“I know; that was a bit creepy wasn’t it?” Umm, how did she know what I’m thinking?

“Because I’ve thought it.” Then she turns around. No. Freaking. Way.

“Hello Mika.” It’s me. She’s me.

“Who. Who are you?”

“I am the Queen”

Tell me what you’re thinking!
