Inheritance

Chapter 12

I am paralysed. Maybe if I don't move the wall won't either. Suddenly I feel an arm go around my waist and a hand covering my mouth. "What the hell," I say, well try to say, all that comes out is muffled mumbling. "Listen Katei," a male voice whispers above my head, once again sounding familiar. What's going on with all the familiar voices??? "We need to get out of here without making a sound. I don't know why you could hear them or see me, but obviously something unexpected happened. I need you to promise me you'll keep quiet and follow my orders, okay?" I slightly nod my head and when he lets go of my mouth I can finally look up at the walls face.

Its the older guy from the thrift shop. Nope, not keeping my promise weird dude. I make a run for it in the one direction that doesn't spell a definite encounter with an intruder. A "Really" is followed by heavy footsteps trailing after me. This guy thinks he's exasperated? His house isn't the one that's been broken into on HIS BIRTHDAY! What puppy did I run over to deserve this?

I find my way back to the living room. Great. I am stuck. Both ways out of here lead back to at least one intruder. I look around the room searching for something that will (hopefully) be more effective than a lamp to fight off intruders. Wall-dude comes running into the room, nearly plundering over me. Its definitely that guy, Rex was the older one, right? I think so. His pastel-green eyes give me a once-over, as if to make sure I am all right. "Why'd you do that Katei?" He asks shaking his head. Maybe because I don't want to stick with someone who broke into my house? Especially someone I've only now seen for the first time!

This way, I heard her! I hear a girl shout from the kitchens side. The next moment a big burly dude that looks kind of like Mudak fills the doorway. "Guys. Call in for back up. Rex is here."

He doesn't wait for a response as he lunges at Rex. A woman a bit younger than Rex runs through the door, heading straight for him and after her... well at least now I know why the girls voice sounded familiar. Livore Flippen Suzka. She slowly turns into the room, a smug smile playing at her lips as she starts to run at me. I hold on tighter to the nearly-forgotten lamp in my hand, getting ready to try and defend myself, but before she gets to me, a sandy haired blur tackles her from behind. "Chris!" both Rex and I yell at the same time. What?

Rex is fighting off big-burly and the woman as his eyes nearly peal out of his head as he looks at Chris. Rex ducks just in time, knocking over a lamp, to miss a forceful looking swipe of one of Big-burleys massive hands, which then smashes into the woman, forcing her back a few steps and earning a withering look from her as she staggers towards Rex. "How ya doing sir?" Chris asks from his spot on the floor next to an unconscious Livore. This is getting stupid crazy, their are way too many people in our living room, seriously.

Chris jumps to his feet and takes on the woman, pinning her against the back of a couch. All the while I am standing hear, frozen in shock, clutching a damn lamp. Suddenly a rush of cold energy floods my senses as someone appears in the room. Just appears. Like, POOF, there's a dude. And guess what? I know this one too. Its that Trystan dude. This better be one messed up dream. Livore dazedly looks up, apparently no longer unconscious. She guns for Trystan, grabbing for something at her waist as she almost flies into him. She nearly knocks him over. Her black hair is tied up into a high ponytail. From her waist she whips out... a pen? What the hell is she doing with a pen?

Just then my shock seems to wear off as feeling returns to my fingers. I hear Ami yelling from the front door, of course she's here. Chris is here. I groan at the thought. She can't come in! This place is a madhouse. Chris seems to have the same thought as he punches the Ack-look-alike one last time and runs for the front door. Trystan grabs my arm out of the blue and my head starts to feel like it got stuck in the tumble dryer as a yelp escapes me.

Next thing I know it feels like I got dunked in an ice-bath and I am standing on gravel, barefoot, in a stinkin' abandoned underground parking lot. "What the hell! Who are you? Who were they? What's going on? Is Chris and Ami all right? Why were everyone at my house? Why were YOU at my house? How did you get into my house? You know what? Don't answer, I fell asleep daydreaming and that this is all just some messed up, weird as heck nightmare!" His eyes seem to glow bright green as he looks me in the eye.

"Sorry princess, but this ain't any type of dream."

Hey guys, sorry for the short chapter at least I am up to date now... Yayy!!
