The Other World

Chapter 18: Stark? No!

I woke up the next day in my comfortable bed. Waits at thing I remember, I was in Robby's room.
I sat up on my bed and saw a letter on the dresser. I reached for it and read.

~Good morning Mickey. I'm sorry, I had to go out and I didn't want to leave you alone in my room so I carried you to yours. Love you so much. Robby~

I smiled. I got up and got dressed.
I didn't know what to do so I decided to go to the library and search more information about The Great Book. I was going to ask Gomin to come with me but I didn't want him to suffer any more, so I headed there by myself.

I found Robby on my way and said hi.

"So what you up too?" he asked.

"Just on my way to the library." I replied.

He rolled his eyes. "Such a nerd."

I stuck my tongue out.

"So , I never got to ask, how was the meeting?"

"It was boring at first but....." I trailed off.

"But what?"

"I found out about the Orb." I said, not telling him that the red was increasing.

"Oh."

"Yup. And that it was Starks father that betrayed us." I whispered, looking down.

"So that doesn't mean anything!" Robby exclaimed, suddenly looking angry.

"I know that. I'm just telling you what I found out." I defended.

"Well Mickey, I'm just saying it doesn't mean anything. No one else will betray us." he said, looking determined.

"Ya."

"I won't allow it to happen."
*****
Four hours later I came up empty. I left once to get a snack but otherwise spent four hours in the library. At last I gave up and went downstairs.

Kate was sitting on the couch, texting.

"Hey, Kate."

"Oh hi Mickey. What's up? Where were you this whole time?" she asked.

"Oh. Just reading." I said, not really lying.

"Oh you and your reading." she replied, rolling her eyes.

I chuckled. "Where are the boys?" I asked.

"Training."

"Ok. I'm going to go and say hi."

"Later."

I went up to the training room and found the boys there. Along with Kent. Kent, Sinayas protector, was also the trainer. Tall with his green eyes and blond hair, he was handsome and a very good fighter.

"Hi guys." I said, walking towards them.

Gomin turned towards me, wiping away sweat from his forehead. "Hi Mickey." he said, breathlessly.

Kameron, not as tired as Gomin ,
waved and Robby winked at me.

"How are ya, little sis?" Robby asked.

"Good."

"Came to see me train these useless boys." Kent said, laughing.

"Oh please, I never lose at any game." Gomin said. I rolled my eyes. He always says that.

"Mickey, I would have loved to show you how I could take all three of them while I am blindfolded but, alas, I have to leave." Kent said with a smirk.
