A Descendant of Water

Chapter 06 - Rage

Lin was near the pool as usual. But for Alex her sight was not pleasant as it used to be.

"Hey Alex whats up?"

Alex didnt say a word but came straight to her. Lin was puzzled and she got up from her seat. Alex got a hold of her shoulder and pinned her to the wall. She hit her shoulder muscle hard on the wall. She winced and groaned in pain. She was shocked, scared and angry. She has never seen Alex so angry before. His eyes were getting red. His grip was tightening by the second. His face was red and sweating. She could see his muscles were stretching and flexing.

"Alex wh.." Thats all came from her mouth . She was trembling .

"I trusted you with my deepest secret and you go telling it around!!!!! " Alex shouted to her face.

"Alex I didn.." He wouldnt let her finish.

"Enough I dont want another word from you. Thanks to you Caleb knows my plan and where to see. You ruined all!!!! Stay away from this Lin!!!!"

Tears formed in her eyes but she had a strong soul. She wouldnt let it fall. She freed herself from his grip.

"I didnt tell your secret to anyone. Who do you think you are to hurt me like this?"

"Enough of your lies. Did you take me as a joke because no ordinary kid could have such power?"

"Alex listen to me " but Alex was too stubborn. He marched back without another word leaving Lin confused and trembling. Lin sat on the floor and sobbed to let her pressure out. Rachel and Caleb was watching this scene in secret.

Lin got up to leave. She was frustrated and furious.

"Now Rachel we must make a move" Caleb ordered. Rachel obeyed him and took out a jab with tranquilizer liquid while Caleb got the ropes ready. Rachel went from behind but Lin turned. Lin opened her mouth to speak but Rachel worked faster. She held a chloroform cloth over Lins face. Lin tried to scream and she struggled. Caleb got a hold of her hands and grip was so tight on her hands ,it was very painful.She felt dizzy and everything went blur and brink of darkness took over. Rachel lied her down and jabbed her the tranquilizer.Caleb bought the ropes and tied her hands behind and legs and carried her away.

"You go and hang around with your friends, otherwise they will suspect " Caleb ordered Rachel.

"okay but take care of her. You would keep her alive right? " Rachel was concerned. She had to follow her orders but she never meant any harm for her friend.

"Stop Worrying. Even if she wakes up you wouldnt be her friend anymore"

Rachel felt very sad and she felt her heart broke into pieces. She left them. But they both didnt see Lins books and phone has been dropped nearby after all the struggle.She found Nick in the yard and joined him. She learned that Alex has gone home early.
