The Awakening

Chapter 8 -Delana

     Exactly an hour later, one, as I see it, guard, came to take me to my meeting. The guard is the one I had previously beaten up. I met his glare with a smirk.

"So are you going to tell me your name or are we going to continue on with this akward silence?" I looked at him expectantly and he looked at me wearily. He stopped abruptly and held out his hand towards me. "My name is Ryan. Ryan Lagly. And yours?" I shook his hand. "The name's Delana. Delana Hail. Good to know your name. Now it's not akward." I gave him one of my winning smiles.

     Ryan is a cool guy. We carried on a normal conversation under abnormal conditions. I learned that his favorite color is green, he loves dogs, eats nachos with movies, never popcorn, and has a good sense of humor.

     When we came to the end of the hallway, there was a single steel door in front of us. "I'm sorry Delana, this is where I leave you." And he did look truly sorry. Odd. "Alright. Nice meeting you Ryan." He took my hand and kissed it, and I was shocked. I also may have goggled a bit."Goodbye Delana. I hope to see you soon." He backed down the hall a little then turned around and walked away.

     I had to take a couple minutes to collect myself and my thoughts. When I opened the door, the scene was not as I expected. First, there was my brother next to another guard who looked very displeased with him. What did he do now? And there were several other men and women dressed in suits. At the end of the table sat a man. He was dressed in all black with a red robe.

"I'm going to take a lucky guess and say that you-" I pointed at the man "-are the Boss?" There was a collective gasp and the man grinned evily at me. "That I am, deary!"
