Chapter 12 - The Girl With A Knife

Pov. Kendra

"What others?" I ask Lucas, but he is fast asleep. I stand up and turn around to see Josh standing there, having a small smile on his face.

You're stupid.

I see that one of Josh' eyebrows is going up.

"Why am I stupid? Because I didn't say there are more people?" He asks.

"Yeah. Something like that." I answer him.
It was easy to say something like 'there are more people here' or 'I am not the only person in this building', but no, mister didn't say anything.

"But now, what others was he talking about?" I say while turning back to Lucas, who is laying on the ground.

"It's not my story to tell Kendra. Meanwhile, lets get you two a room to sleep."

Good idea, I can defenitely use some sleep. How are we going to get Lucas into a room though. It's not like he's as light as feathers. The boy is more like the dead weight of a big bag filled with potatoes. The dude is heavy as shit.

"I'll call Brandon." Josh says, snapping me out of my bubble, "He is the strongest one, even though he looks like he wants to sleep all day."

Lucas grabs my hand and takes me through the door on the left.
While we are walking I look were I am now.

A big hall, painted in different shades of red and blue.

The left wall, painted in dark red, almost brown so dark is it. On top of that bloodred flowers, they look like roses and calla lilly flowers are visible.

The right wall, painted in icy blue, it's so good painted that it lookes like it is frozen water. Inbetween the stripes that make the wall look like ice there are tiny skulls, swords, skeletons and a lot more, but unfortunately I can't see it all.

When we walk for about five minutes Lucas stops so fast that I bump against his back.

"What was that necessary for?" I say while putting my free hand on my head.

"Well, here the others are." His answer is.

I step next to him so see a group of mostly girls and a few boys standing in front of us. Not like normal standing, no their clothes are black and it almost looks like their second skin. They have somekind of guns and knifes hanging on their clothes, like it's a total normal thing to have that and in their hands they also have armament. It differs from knife to gun to whip and a lot of other things, which I don't know what it is.
Their eyes filled with rage.

"Let her go!" A girl screams towards Lucas.

I look confused to girl and Lucas the whole time.

When I think nothing is going to happen the girl runs at Lucas, with her knife pointing at Lucas.
She isn't going to stab him is she.
When she comes closer I see that she doesn't lower her knife and wants to hit Lucas with it.
I step in front of Lucas while squeezing my eyes together, afraid of the pain that will come.
I hear a surprised shriek, just seconds before I feel a windgust going past me.

"Am I dead?" I whisper-ask while I open one eye a little and peak through.

"Nope. Your not." I hear a voice say.
I decide to open my eyes and see the group in front of me looking at me with big eyes.

"What?" I ask no one in special.
Josh, who was still standing behind us walks next to me.

"There was someone coming at Lucas with a knife and you just stepped in front of him. Why would you do something like that?" He answers my question.

I look at him, mentally shaking him to mak sure he can think straight. That doesn't work, unfortunately, so I decide to answer his question with a question.

"Why wouldn't I?"
Josh sighs.

"The most people would only look how someone would get killed, but not you, no, you decide just to stand in front of him." He says.

"Why I wouldn't do that? Let me explain it to you all.
I know Lucas for my whole life, and when something was wrong and no one saw it, he did see it.
He has helped me through many difficult times, I practically owe him my life." I pause for a moment, catching my breath. I step a little bit back and softly grab Lucas his hand.

"Those reasons are enough for me to jump in front of him when someone decides to come run at him with a knife in her hand. I wouldn't have to think twice about it."
The girl that attacked Lucas walkes towards me.

"I'm so sorry I tried to attack him. Could you forgive me?" She asks
"By the way, my name is Chaylene."

I think a moment about her name and try to speak it out loud.

"Your name is Che.. Chay.. Chayla.. Chaylene. I finally got it. Chay..lene. Why do you have such a difficult name?" I ask laughing.
She looks at me, thinking.

"Uhh, I really don't know. I think my parents just liked it. But serious, can you forgive me for attacking Lucas?"

I look at her, doing my best to look intimidating.
I see her starting to look afraid and think that it's really sad for her that I do this, so I smile a little bit.

"It's fine Chaylene, but why did you attack him?" I say as I remember that I found Lucas hanging against a wall.
"And why was Lucas hanging against a wall, with like two thousand chains around him?" I ask her being curious.

She sighs.
"I'll do my best to explain, but it's smart if you first know who everyone is and what they are. If you don't know them I can tell you the whole story twenty times, but you wouldn't understand." Chaylene laughs.

"Allright. Well then, who is who?" I say looking around to the people standing in front of me. They seem to have the age of 14 till 27. This can get fun.
