(alyssum's POV)

The bell sings through the building and the large door opens and a man draped in white gowns voice booms

"why,have you disturbed our master" and alexander reply's confidently while my legs are jittering

"she needs to be registered to us" the man nods and takes my wrist and pulls me through the halls of the large building i turn to see the doors shut and alexander walking away then man then opens a large gold in crested door and a man stands behind a stainless steel desk

"Hello" he booms towards me

"oh..uh..hi"

"were did you come from"

"rueben's"

"uh. i always new he would go crazy"

"you know him?"

"of course i do he was my brother all twenty towns have a mayor and they are all my brothers and the ruler is my father"

"TWENTY"i gasp

"yes" he booms

"come here child"i step forward and he takes my hand and flips it around in his hands and glides his fingers across it

he yells "you,you were the child he was supposed to give me i can read it" he gets up and makes his way over to a large cupboard and opens it cold clouds of air come streaming out but shortly clears up and there a about ten needles filled with green fluid he slides his fingers across the lables and take one of them out it is about the size of a 30 cm ruler he comes towards me and i jump back

"no" he yells at me loudly "its this or find your power child i look at the needle

"no i'll find it myself" i get up and run through the building i push the large door open and run out looking for alexander but he isn't there i drop to the floor

"what have i done to myself"i cry to myself and i feel a warm hand rest on my shoulder i turn to see a boy around 14 with beautiful blonde hair and perfect blue eyes i shake it off

"oh hi i'm Thomas are you okay"

"no i'm from the other side and i don't know what to do with myself" he sits down next to me gently and looks at me and says

"it's going to be fine i came from three i'm going to guess your from one"i nod and he continues

"did you take the needle or are you going to find it"

i mumble softly to him "find it" then alexander comes out from the trees and says

"hey alyssum you ready to go" and ... jumps up and backs up from me and says to alexander

"oh sorry man i..i..i didn't know she was your girl" i turn back to alexander and back to Thomas and by the time i look back Thomas is gone i jump up and run over to alexander

"hey why did you leave"

"i had to go do something okay sorry i didn't think it would be that fast ,how long were you waiting"

"oh it's fine probably only like 5-10 minutes" he nods and we keep walking through some streets then i see a small boy run from a post to another in like half a mili second

"speed?" and he nods and we keep walking until we stop at an old shack with a small gravel path and two windows at the front and bushes and trees al around it alexander keeps walking and pushes the door open

"uhh home finally"
