The Caravan of Hope

Chapter 29: It can't be

It's so weird. Twelve people have read the chapter about Amber Fistian, but some of them haven't raff the rest of the chapters. I'll guess that they're confused.

Also, I did realize that some things at the end of the last chapter didn't make sense, so I fixed it.

Carrying on!

Inside the room was dark. When the Caravan came to crossroads, they couldn't decide where to go next.

"Left! It's brighter!" George said.

"No, right! Light means there are people there." Hearthfell growled at George as they turned to look at Daiko, since she was the leader.

She thought about it for a second. "Left. It works better for me."

Hearthfell gave George a look as George stuck out his tongue, teasing him.

And they went left. It wasn't long before they met another caravan.

Alex stared at Daiko. "Did you choose this route because you were bored?"

She grinned. "Maybe."

He face palmed himself. Then he decided they might as well as fight. He took out his guns.

There were eleven people.

Bella knocked two out by using the blunt end of her knife and with the help of Jarred's magic.

Alex shot at two with his guns.

George knocked out two by banging their heads together.

Hearthfell made a hammer and knocked another one out.

Daiko took out three by using wind to throw them against the wall, eventually knocking them out.

Mary, scared, made a hole in which the last one of them fell into.

They carefully stepped around the hole and went on their way.

They made it out. Outside was a grassy meadow plain with open sky. The king was there. Bella noticed this and hid again.

The king nodded, not noticing that the girl hiding was Bella. "Good, you pass. And you're the first one here, Caravan of Hope."

"Yes!" Daiko pumped her first in the air. "I knew it!"

They watched the other groups come. Daiko pointed out who was who

"The Caravan of Dogs." Five men, including Sekiso, came in howling.

"The Caravan of Rummikub." A group of eight came in.

"The Caravan of Commandments." A group of ten came in.

"The Caravan of Nanatai." Seven armored people came in.

"The Caravan of Dicheu." Thirteen people came in.

"And the Caravan of Birhin." Six people came in.

The king nodded. "Good. That's seven caravans. Now on to the next-"

But he was interrupted by a loud, inhuman wail coming from above them."

A huge, blue circle appeared, and three objects larger than three houses combined came through it. They were all flying; one was black, the second white, and the middle red.

Everyone went into a clamor. George looked confused. "What are those things?"

"Dragons," Jarred said. "But they're extinct!"

Daiko's eyes widened. "Mi Dios. It can't be."

There was a person standing on top of the red dragon. He held something up to his mouth. Everyone could hear a loud voice say, "Greetings! We come from the planet Aqua. We are here to -"

But he was interrupted by a loud scream that said,  "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone turned to see who it was from.

It was from Daiko.

She was on her knees, barely crying. Her hands were up to her ears, and her eyes were wide open. She was trembling a lot.

"I-I-It can't be! Después todos de los años... They found me? No! I came here to escape. I THOUGHT I WAS FINALLY SAFE AND HAPPY!"

The figure on top of the red dragon looked at Daiko and said, "Oh, there you are, fugitive."
