The Tower

Sebastian

"So, what's ya name?" she stared at him a gap tooth smile spread across her face, "Go on I'm not gonna report ya!"She laughed.

"Um... I'm looking for a girl."

"Ooooh a girl! Is she pretty?"

"No not like that, she's... My, my... Sister! That's it, yeah my sister, she was taken away and I really need to find her... I'm scared." He looked up from his gaze at his feet, she was sat staring at him, "Well that's a funny name! " she giggled smiling again, at him "I'm just joking friend, now did you see where she was taken? I'm Cris by the way, Cristine in full."

"I see, I'm Sebastian. No, I um, I didn't see, she was dragged off into the darkness, in the ally opposite your house, and I ran all the way here, but she, she was already gone..."

She studied his expression for a minute whilst rubbing her chin. "I've got it!"

Running to the other side of the bedroom, she dropped to her knees, pulling a large roll of paper out from underneath her desk. He stumbled after her and switched on the desk light. Unfurling the roll Cris weighed it down with two stuffed toys at each end. "This here is a map of the city, each and every turn,"

"How did you get this?"

"My Father works for the President," he jumped back scared, "Don't worry, I don't like her either, she gives me the creeps." Cris shuddered, turning back to the paper, "Anyways, if you say your sister disappeared into the darkness there's only one explanation, either she's mad, or she got caught!"

That's two... Never mind, now's not the time... Wait, caught?! "By who?!"

"The Metallics'!" Her eyes widened as she said it. "That's not good friend! We need to go get her!"

Cris started walking back across the room, grabbing a bag from a wardrobe twice the size of the girl, she kneelt down and started stuffing objects into it. "Go get her?! Are you mad?"

"Slightly."

"We'll be killed! What are you putting in there?"

"Weapons." He stared at the girl, mouth wide open, arms hanging down, "Well do you want to be killed? We gotta protect ourselves somehow!"

"This is mad." Sebastian started pacing. What are we going to do? If we don't get Mykie she'll die and then probably the rest of us too! I should have stayed with C4530, nothing bad would of happened...

"Are you ready partner?" Cris was stood in front of him in her grey hoodie and jeans, converse on, and the bag full of stuff slung over her shoulder. "I guess..."

"Good!" she ran towards the window, jumping and sliding, down the bed sheets, "Common! It's not that bad! Are you commin'?"

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath...

I guess...
