The Tower

Cristine

Sebastian slid down the rope of her bed sheets and landed with a thud on the sodden pavement. "Told ya it wouldn't be bad!" he smiled nervously at her as she pulled the rope down and hid it behind the electrics box. "This way." Turning around Cris paced down the street keeping to the shadows in between each street lamp, she could see the tower on the horizon and knew that if Sebastian's sister was anywhere she would be there. "Excuse me?" A shy voice from behind her interrupted her train of thought "Yes?" she stopped smiling at him.

"Where exactly are we headed?"

"Why to the tower! Obviously, I mean if your sister was captured by them metallics then that's the place she'd be. You haven't got any other ideas have ya?"

"Oh no, no. I was just, I was just wondering." He shifted nervously, Chris's smile drooped, "Aw jeez Seb... why ya so twitchy? There's no need to be nervous, I'm here to help, an as long as we're together I won't let anything happen!" he didn't look encouraged, she turned and kept walking, he rushed to catch up. "Why don't we play a game?" Sebastian smiled, "Okay so I'll ask a question to you and you'll answer then, you ask me a question and I'll answer!" He nodded smiling more. "Good, okay, umm, ooo I know! What does your sister look like?" Cris turned,

"Well, she's quite tall, has medium brown skin and freckles, oh and one side of her face is robotic. She has blue eyes and curly hair that stops at her shoulders, she has a black beanie and is wearing the same clothes as you and me." Sebastian looked up at Cris who was staring eyes wide. "I may be lyin' but it sounds to me as if ya just described Mykie Waller!" Sebastian's face dropped how did she know???? "You did! Mykie Waller's your sister? But I thought she only had one sibling, Alex?!" Sebastian stuttered trying to make up a believable lie to cover up his mistake...

"Wait, how do you know her?"

"Everyone does, she's been wanted for suspicious activity since she turned sixteen!" Cris stared at him, an excited look on her face, "You lied, she's not you're sister, but you have to protect her...". Sebastian opened his mouth to talk but no words came out, only silence. He didn't know how to fix this.

"I've run away with her. We ran from Clarisa4530, yes I know- I know that's shocking." He paused for breath, "Mykie said that she and Clarisa were planning an attack of sorts on the tower, they wanted to stop Madame President and free the radicals. But Mykie said C's plan would take months and-and she wanted to do it tonight." Cris' mouth dropped wide open.

"But that's near impossible, there are so many metallics about you'd never get in..."

"They have Mykie now Cris, I was hesitant but now I need to get there. We need to get there, she's in trouble, and we need to help." Sebastian stared at her a worried look on his face.

"Then I guess we better get moving." Cris smiled and they ran into the darkness.
