James

Chapter 21: James

I looked at my brother's eyes and knew there was no way to convince him to come over and change his ways, so I raised my sword in hopes that I wouldn't have to kill him, but let him live with no powers, abilities, or memories of the time when he was raised by Leon and when he was evil. Dakota raised his sword as well, but neither of us rushed or made a move on the other. Then an explosion ruptured the ceiling and an army of Leon's men rushed in through the doors and surrounded Dakota and I. 

"Well? Let the battle commence boys. Your father and I cannot wait to see the end of this battle." A woman's voice said from above. 

"Do you know this woman, brother?" Dakota yelled over the roar of the engines in the sky above. 

"If I'm correct, its our mother." I yelled back. 

"Good job, James, but talking is not what I came here for. Men, kill them." Our mother said. 

"Sons! Let's go!" George yelled from a gap in the group of soldiers. 

"Dakota! I know you don't like me, but if you don't come with me, we'll both die. Look at what her men are equipped with." I yelled. 

With that Blaze shot towards the door and Dakota and I flew towards the exit, where George was running towards a sleek black Renault Alpine A110-50 Concept 3, sorry I really like my cars. George jumped in through the driver's side open window and started the engine while Dakota, Sarah, and I all flew by and my mother's men trailed by quite a lot. Once the engine started George's car lit up and rocketed past all of us he told us to follow him and we sped up to keep pace with him which strained Blaze way too much, so Sarah called out Aurora and rode higher in the sky to keep up, remove Aurora's discomfort, for dragons hate flying close to the ground, and keep from blowing Dakota and I far from the path we were following. George's Renault began to lose speed and turn a sharp turn onto a gravel road that had appeared out of nowhere and Dakota and I had to fall back in order not to be driven up into the trees and not get hit by the rocks. Sarah was falling further behind because she couldn't find the Renault between the branches and the forest was huge. 

Sarah, I'm going to start giving you directions, just don't fall too far behind, ok? I said. 

Ok, I'll try. She said in return. 

So, as we were flying, I constantly gave Sarah directions and in no time she was flying above us again in the open blue sky. Then, a rock, more the size of a pebble, flew back and slammed into my left wing, a crack sounded out and I fell, scraping along the road for what seemed like forever, but was only a few minutes. I screamed out from the pain, but it was already fading. 

"James! Hey, George! Pull over!" Dakota yelled as Sarah landed and George stopped about a mile ahead and stepped out to see what was going on. 

"Guys, I'm fine, I've had worse and I only fell from my left wing shattering from that rock. Look all the scrapes and cuts have already closed and the wing is almost completely healed, I'll be fine." I said, all but a throb of pain, gone. 

The sky darkened, then, changing the world from bright happiness to dark madness in seconds and a woman's voice rang out from the heavens. 

"James, Dakota, the two of you can run but you can never hide, I have Casser and I think she has something she wants to say." The woman said. 

"Dakota, James, RUN! I'm not important, save yourselve-" Casser started, but was cut off. 

"If you ever want to see her again you must kill your brother." The woman said. 

"Dakota, who's Casser?" I asked. 

"My girlfriend, we've been together for a long time and I don't know what I'd do without her. We have to go save her. James, we have to!" Dakota said, frantic with emotion.
