Dusk

Chapter 4

"Hey. Wake up we're here." I hear Brea say to me. I open my eyes and I look straight into her eyes. There so beautiful. I just stare for a moment, unable to look away. "What are you staring at?" She says like she doesn't know. "You." I whisper. She leans in and I kiss her forehead. "Now stop flirting with me and come on." She says with smile. She grabs my hand and pulls me up. She pulls me a little close and I still just stare at her. I want to kiss her but before I can she turns away and walks to the exit. We step out and it's a beautiful tropical island. There's a giant wall around it on the boarder. In the middle skyscrapers. It's like a resort but better. I can't believe all of this. It's incredible!

"Come on let me show you around." my sister says as she comes out of the ship. There's a jeep parked right outside the wall. We all get in and my sister drives. "This is our main base. This is where all the other ones are connected to." She says. I didn't realize that there were more of these headquarters. We drive towards a gate and we wait outside it for a minute and then they open up showing an even bigger area than I expected. It's beautiful! "Wait till you see your rooms." My sister says. We finally arrive at the tallest building in the middle. "I want you to meet our leader." She says, "I thought you were the leader?" I say, "I'm only the leader of that one base. I'm like 2nd in command, if something happens to our leader I'm in charge." She says. All I can say is "Oh."

We park in this giant building with other vehicles in it. We get out and walk to an elevator. We go up to the very top. It's freakishly high. When we get up there we walk through some doors and then there's a man behind a desk.

"This is Carter." My sister says. The man gets up and walks over to us. "It's nice to finally meet you Parker. I've heard a lot about you. And you Neon as well or should I say Nick." He finishes. Neon's eyes get big like he's shocked. "How did you know my real name?" "We've been watching you both since you both were young." He says, "And why is that?" I ask, "You'll find out soon enough." The man says in a soft voice. I'm not if I trust him. Anyone that calm seems like there hiding something. I stare at him trying to study him, trying to tell if he's lying about anything. I don't think he is but I know there something he's not telling me. "And who is this." he says looking at Brea. "She's with me." I say a little defensive.

"Well you must be dying to see the rest of the facility. Kota go show them around." He say then turns back and sits back down in his chair.

"Come on let's go." She says. We all follow.
