The Legends {On Hold}

Friends Or Foes

Cory's POV
---------

    I groan as my eyes open slowly. My head ached as if it had been hit by a bus! I rub my eyes and blink them a few times to get used to the light in the room. Wait a second... A room?

    I open my eyes, fully awake now. I sit up and take in my surroundings. All around me was a dark room with red on the walls.... Blood...? I inwardly puked at that.

    The room was definitely not mine nor the bedroom at the house. I rub my head trying to remember what happened last. I got angry and stormed out of that house. Who did I get mad with...? I think it was that obnoxious red haired female, but I'm unsure.

    After I had left, I sat outside trying to cool off. Then, suddenly, a gust of wind, definitely not a normal gust, happened and I saw Uni! Uni, Ashlie, Nick, Tommy, Jon, and Dawn! My buddies!

    But... My mind trails off. They had attacked me. I tried defending myself without hurting them. They were my friends after all! But they were relentless and seemed sad.

    The door in the strange room bursts open, fully taking me out of my thought of what happened. A man with brown hair, brown eyes, and a black shirt with an M on it comes in. He glowers at me and I stand up.

    However, the man's expression changes into something kind. I didn't know what to make of it, so I kept my defensive stand.

    "Relax. I won't harm you. I'm simply here to explain what you want to know," the man says. "I'm Nick by the way."

    "Um... Ok... I'm Cory... But where am I? And what happened?" I ask hesitantly.

I relaxed and sat back down on the bed. Nick sits next to me and nods.

"I figured those would be your first questions. You are at the Castle of Darkness. You are here because you belong on the dark side. And you simply got taken here by your friends as we knew they would have a better chance than the rest of us." Nick explains.

My eyes widen in shock. What...? Evil side? No! Never! I'm part of the good guy squad! ... Right...? I... Have to be... But my Legend... Me as a person... Maybe... Maybe I do deserve to be evil.

Nick must have found out what I was thinking as he started rubbing my back, comforting. I think as I was too deep in my thoughts. My reasoning was when I realized that I was still existing, tears were falling out of my eyes. Damn you tears.

I wipe away the stupid wet things sliding down my cheeks. How is this guy a villain? He's so nice to me!

"What is your Legend?" I ask him. As upset as I am about my stupid legend, I'm curious why he's a villain.

He smirks and chuckles a bit. "Legend of Hate!" He answers slyly.

And I've found out why. Hate... He doesn't seem like a hateful person, but we don't choose what our Legends are. I really want to find my friends who attacked me. Aka My Best Friends Ever.

"Where are my friends? The ones that you somehow grouped to the dark side," I elaborate.

"Somewhere. Want to see them?" Nick asks me.

I nod instead of verbally answering. Nick takes his hand back from my back and stands up. He exits the room.

I let out a sigh of some mixed emotions once he is out of the room. For some odd reason, I feel... scared. No, scared isn't the word. Anxious... That's better.

I don't understand why, they're my friends after all. However, after what they did earlier. I think I have good reason to be nervous.

My thoughts get interrupted when the door opens. My head snaps up. I hadn't even realized I was looking down.

Only three people walked in. Ashlie, Uni, and my best friend Nick, not the other one. They all looked... Well, none of them had the same emotion on their face.

Uni's expression conveyed happiness. He had his hands close to his chest. And he was bouncing on his feet. He looked like he wanted to hug someone, but was holding it back.

Ashlie seemed unbelievably angry. I was very confused by that, as I should be the angry one! I'm the one who got kidnapped! Her gaze softened when she noticed I was looking at her.

Finally, Nick seemed confused. He seemed to be thinking hard. I wonder what is going through his head.

There was a long silence until a purposeful cough broke the silence. We all turned to find other Nick standing by the doorway looking annoyed.

"Well? Is this how you are always like when talking? Just communicate already! It's strange watching this!" He complains.

"Hi Cory! How are you?! I hope we didn't hurt you too badly!" Uni says running up to me.

He hugs me tightly and nuzzles his face into my hair. Best friend Nick hesitantly comes closer to Uni and I and hugs us both.

Ashlie stands there awkwardly for a few minutes before other Nick pushes her toward us. She walks up to us and joins the hug. I hugged them all back as they were my best friends, but I was still a bit angry.

The hug lasts for a few minutes. Once I take my arms away, they do the same and back up so we all have some space.

"So... Why did you do it? And where is the rest?" I ask them.

"Cory... Please don't be upset! We had to save you from them! They're evil! They took you away from us!" Ashlie exclaims, answering my first question.

"Dawn is busy training with Ben and Ian. Thomas is helping our boss. And Jon... Well... Let's just say you won't be able to see him for a long while." Nick I met today says. I really need to give them code names so you all know who I'm talking about.

"I see... But guys. They aren't bad people. Sure they kidnapped me, but technically you did too." I tell them.

"But we know you! So it's different! Plus your Legend suits here better than it does there!" Ashlie rebuttals. She seemed to be getting angry.

Ok.. So Ashlie was incredibly right by that last statement. I hardly felt like apart of that group with my legend. Wait! They all have legends too?!

"Wait! What are your legends?!" I ask them.

"I'm the Legend Wind! Ashlie is the Legend Anger, Nick is the Legend Ice, Jon is the Legend Sorrow, Dawn is the Legend Colors, and Tommy is the Legend Lightning." Uni answers me.

Yay! My best friends have Legends and I need to get out! Good luck me!

Hey everyone! This was meant to be posted on Tuesday, but I was really busy with school! I'm so sorry! I'll try posting for the book I was supposed to post yesterday. Since this book was also supposed to be posted today so I won't post anything else for this day. Actually... I think the other book I need to post for is also a today's book. If you want to see the schedule it's in my bio and conversation wall! I hope you all have a fantabulous day! Please follow me! I need to get to 700 followers so I can win a bet!
