Chapter 3
About time Mr Baron sir
RNR OR PM please and thankyou
Hello there, i am here again with another chapter, so here it is and im glad i dont need to waste time thinking of a witty comment for a disclaimer
Instead by the thoughts of my friends i should say just a random, witty comment here is my first since i have put a stop to all my stories, i am focusing on this one its coming here it is:
Today i told my car it's ok for it to tell me it a transformer. It didn't answer. I figure it's just waiting for the right moment. That's it :)
Btw no i wont write Jak's experience through the 2 years, because i dont like writing brutal things like the thoughts i have in my head that i think probably happened, i just have to make it a little funny and i think that would be really bad so that is why i stray away from writing that stuff, but you will see him and hear him later... but dont worry i will keep to the story line once i have established where Tenile, Teigan, Aylar and April stand in this.
Oh and sorry for the insult Teigan :)
Recap
"Okay everyone back to your cells" Called a Krimson guard as they swarmed out and collected the prisoners
I was collected by the same three guards, they led me though the same rooms and to my cell and i jumped onto my bed and went to sleep as soon as i hit the pillow, knowing that i had at least one ally with me that i can talk to.
Little did i know that when i woke up i would have a new much unexpected roommate...
Tenile's POV
I awoke to the sound of not my phone but of someone moving in my cell, i immediately sat up, getting a head rush as i did it, i looked all over my cell and saw the intruder
I smiled, i didn't expect this but i also didn't mind it
"Now what are you doing here?" I said getting down off my bed, slightly feeling dizzy, not really looking for an answer
The person in my cell walked up to me smiling, i was happy to see that they were safe and unharmed, yet. (A/N oh I'm cruel am i not?)
"Nothing much, i just got moved here actually" Aylar said
"Cool, so what do you want to do?" I asked as she sat down
"I want to ask questions, you can too if you want" Aylar said, she got comfortable on the cold, silver, metal floor
"Ok shoot" i said as i did the same
"Where were you born?" Aylar asked smiling
I didn't see the harm in telling her the truth; i can always say im not from around here so i said "Sydney"
"I've never heard of that city before" Aylar said giggling
"Yeah not surprised it's pretty far away from here, near an ocean in fact" i said giggling myself
"Nice, are there Medalheads there?" She asked tilting her head slightly
"No, none actually, honest" i said as she pulled a face of not believing "That i have seen anyway" I added
"Ok this is quite a personal one so if it hurts to tell me its ok" Aylar said sincerely "Why are your ears like that?" She asked carefully
"Oh that" I said chuckling "This is just a genetic mutation" I lied i have been doing alot of that lately and it was difficult
"Oh ok thats good, i thought that they were chopped off or something" She said but i sensed alot of its ok if you dont want to tell me i wont poke around in what she said obviously she didn't believe me, i wouldn't believe me either "Is there anything else?" i asked
"No not really is there anything you want to ask me?" Aylar asked me kindly
"Yeah there is, tell me about your family and your old life before this" I gestured to the prison we were in
"Ok" Aylar said smiling
"Well i was born in March the 25th, i have 10 brothers and sisters most being half, their names are Lisa she is my half sister, Abbey she is also my half sister, Kyle he is my full blood brother and so is Ben, Tess is my full blood sister, then there is Amanra she is my half sister and then Samuel he is my half brother, Hanara she is my half sister, then Ipolo he is my half brother and then little Fred he is also my half brother" She took a breath before continuing.
" i lived with them all and my dad Greg in a small apartment block room 76 floor 2, Lisa is 20 and has a fiancé he's nice and his name is Leo, Abbey is 18 she also has a boyfriend i dont like him but he is ok i guess his name is Tobin, then Ben who is 17 he has a boyfriend too i love him he's so nice his name is Troy, then Kyle he is 15 he has a girlfriend named Melinda she's nice too, Me im 14 i am single, Amanra 12 she is single too, Samuel 8 he is single, Hanara 6 she is single obviously all my little siblings are single so yeah, Ipolo is 6 years old and is a pain, then little Fred 2 years old and is adorable and thats about it really" She finished
"Well now i feel like i know alot more about you and you have a gay brother?" I asked
"Yeah but we dont care there nothing wrong with that i just wish we had enough money to not have to live in a small apartment i mean Lisa, Abbey, Ben, Kyle and i all have 2 jobs each or i used to have 2 jobs, but i dont care i just want to be back home even if it is squashy" She sighed i felt sorry for her she seemed like a nice girl
"Ok if the Baron wants me for something important and he needs me or something like that then i will put as one of my rules that you are to be released ok?" I said smiling
Aylar nearly fainted at the news i gave her "You would do that for me?" She asked nearly crying
"Yeah well im feeling soft, but im not always so nice" My stubborn side said trying to protect my pride i rolled my eyes at myself when suddenly i was on the ground because Aylar had tackled me because she now loved me for my kindness "Ok ok please get off me i hate being touched" I said slightly whining at her as she got up and said sorry
"Its ok i dont mind, well i do but yeah you know" i said trying to make sense as my phone rang and i answered it
"Hi Megan, what's the time?" I asked already knowing who was calling me
"Hey Tenile how are you and the time? Ok it's-" there was a pause as she looked at the clock "10am" She said proudly
"Megan stop calling me while you're at school what if you get into trouble?" I asked as Aylar was obviously getting curious
"Oh who cares, so how's your new school?"
I froze, i forgot about that "err its nice, lots of silver" I said as i looked around my cell trying to think of more to say "um do you want to talk to Aylar?" I asked as i looked at Aylar pleadingly
"Ok" came the reply
"Great" i exclaimed into my phone, then i covered the speaker "Ok just speak into this here" I pointed to the phone "And tell Megan about your school that you go to, dont mention Medalheads or Zoomers ok" I said as i handed her the phone
"Hello?" Aylar said as she looked at me worriedly
"Hi there my names Megan what's yours?"
"Um Aylar"
"Hmm nice name, so how's your school?"
"Ok, how is yours?"
"Shalvey, Sucks as usual since Tenile is gone"
Megan was playing the guilt card on me, i just knew it, i took the phone off of Aylar "Yeah well we have to go to class now, bye" I said as i hung up so she couldn't make me feel worse then i already did, next time i get sucked into a game im taking her with me.
"Who was that?" Aylar asked as she got up
"My friend Megan from Sydney" I said as i checked the time, it was now 11am, we spent 1 hour talking to Megan? Well time just seems to slip away here doesn't it?
"So do you know when we get food?" I ask as i tried to remember the last time i ate
"Well i dont know, i think we only get feed once a day" she answered sadly because if this is true then we will have to wait a LONG time before we could eat again and i could see that we were both VERY hungry considering that we wasted our last eating time fight and wasting energy.
"WHAT? You can't be serious i am a growing girl i NEED and WANT food right NOW!" I groaned and complained for a little bit more since i already sounded like a spoiled child might as well make a HUGE noise while im at it.
"Maybe if i scream again they will give me food" i pondered then it hit me "Wait i didn't eat my school lunch" I ran towards my bag and pulled everything out of it, by the end i had made a huge mess in the cell "Now it looks like my room" i laughed at my lame joke "And here it is, of course it was at the very bottom of my bag, the very last place i looked" i opened the bag in it was
I pulled out my sandwich with vegemite on it, yum, my tiny teddies, also yum, my apple, triple yum and my extra special banana muffin "MY MUFFIN!" I exclaimed holding it up as if it were a price-less statue made of materials more fragile than glass
"What's a muffin?" Aylar asked as she examined MY muffin closer,
I froze "Could it be that this poor girl had never ever had the delicious experience of a beautifully made, cooked just right Australian banana muffin with sprinkles added by my mum on top, put in a sweet smelling mini box that was decorated with a nice white ribbon? Could this world be so horrible as to have NEVER invented such a master piece? EVER!" i pondered out loud, i could see that Aylar had no idea what i just said since it was so fast i nearly stuffed it up
Aylar was looking at me strangely; she was speechless "Err what i meant was I personally haven't heard of a muffin" she smiled weakly
"Oh well in that case" i broke my muffin in half and handed one half to her "That means you haven't tried one yet too"
Aylar looked at her half and slowly ate it, her eyes sparkled slightly "this is really nice" she said smiling
"Well be grateful, it is the only one I've got" i frowned, why couldn't mum and Mrs Masters come into the game with me, oh and Mrs Masters shop too that would be nice, i smiled at my thought
"So what are we going to do? When will the baron come and your fate decided?" Aylar pondered
I sighed "I dont know but hopefully soon, i haven't used the can, i mean toilet for 4 days or something like that" I said as i eyed the silver slab they called a toilet
"But the toilet is just over there" Aylar pointed to the slab
I nearly collapsed "You really expect me to use THAT!" i pointed insanely at the slab "Now with all these strangers! No way in my life will my butt EVER touch that silver slab" i said my eyes nearly falling out of their sockets
Aylar laughed at what an idiot i was being "Your funny" she said struggling to breath, she stopped when the door that lead to the next room opened, Torn and Erol came walking in towards our cell
"Oh no i dont like how their walking, their walking like two men on a mission" i said as i quickly put EVERYTHING in my bag, that includes trying to push Aylar inside it, much to her dismay, i knew that they were coming for me and i didn't want to leave anything behind that i might need later
"Tenile stop it please, i am NOT going to fit in this bag of yours" Aylar protested and tried to get her head out of my bag
"Turn into a contortionist and you will" i said grunting to push her in when she kicked me, ME!
"I said stop, i can't go you know that, stop being a fool" Aylar said getting up and looking at me caringly as Torn and Erol opened the cell door and told me i was going with them.
I started walking very slowly when a hand grabbed my shoulder, it was Aylar "Be careful" She said as Erol grabbed me and lead me through the door in which they emerged from.
Torn and Erol lead me to the room i went through before, and the door after that and turned left i shuddered as i remembered the VERY-steep-and-ridiculously-close-to-the-door steps that i nearly fell down yesterday, Erol and Torn tightened their grip, while i was just about to piggy back one of them i REALLY didn't trust my feet at the moment.
When i safely got down the steps we entered the same hallway as before, i silently admired the hallway again it was beautiful, but this time i didn't go through the door that led to the courtyard, this time i was led left, this hallway had one difference every once in awhile you saw a picture of guess who the baron himself, i just HAD to ask
"Excuse me but does the baron go through this corridor, often?" I asked silently snickering and my joke
Torn answered and obviously he did not get the joke "Yes why?" he added a small glare at me, obviously he was waiting for the answer he had asked a few days ago
I smiled "No reason... And maybe later" I answered the demand that had to have been on his mind for a long time.
I looked at Erol for a second he was confused i smiled again i love inside 'jokes'
They suddenly jerked me towards the left and up one flight of stairs, then another and another and another and another-
(2 hours later)
And another and another till FINALLY they stopped at a door that could only be opened via key card or small bomb whichever one you feel most comfortable with.
Erol pulled out a blue card and swiped it, the door opened and we walked inside to find ourselves in another hallway but the difference with this one was there were MILLIONS of portraits all featuring baron Praxis and there was only one way to go, forward to a golden door, jeez the designer sure did like gold didn't he.
"Go in there" Erol said sternly as he opened the door
I walked in and he closed it behind me, i was all alone
I looked around my surroundings, the carpet was a greenish colour it was fairly old as some areas were worn out and ripped, in the centre there was a desk, and I smiled when I saw the very thing that all business people seem to have on their desk
I ran up to it and pulled one of the five metal balls on it and it swung inward hitting the other, in turn that one hit the next and so on, i giggled softly, i love these things
I turned when i heard the door open, it was the baron, the baron walked past me and sat at his desk as if i wasn't there, and he then motioned for me to sit in one of the seats that I didn't see when i first came in because i over looked them.
When i sat down i got nervous, like when i was at Mr Cullen's office with Megan, but this time i was scared because back then i knew why i was there, but i didn't know why i was here.
"Now is your name Tennile?" The baron asked looking at me
There were a few problems with this picture, one of them was he said my name wrong he said it like 'the Nile' without the 'h', the second was he thought he knew my name, how did he know my name the only person who knew it in this building as far as i knew was Aylar and she wouldn't have said anything to the baron so i lied again
"No" i said looking as truthful as i could get myself to "I am her sister Teigan" I felt sick like i was going to throw up, why did he want me, why am i so important to him, my hands were shaking, my skin was becoming more paler then usual "why?" i asked curiously
"Well" the baron was trying to hide something, "Do you know where you are at the moment?" he asked, it seemed to be a test of some sort i didn't get what he meant when it hit me, maybe he is trying to see if i am who i am, it seemed that he knew i was not of this world so i played as Teigan is, dumb
"No, i have no idea and i want answers" I demanded, if i was going to be Teigan i better start acting like it
"Well" The baron seemed glad that i seemed to be Teigan "you are in Haven city, my name is Baron Praxis and i need your sisters" he paused "help to make this city better"
It all made sense, he wanted my knowledge of the game which meant he knew that he was a program and is thinking that Teigan knows nothing about the game "you need Tenile?" i pulled the best face i could before bursting into laughter, it all hit me in one go
I am in a game where everyone is bigger and half of them weaker then i, they all have awesome ears, have flying cars, eco, gods that actually exist and here i am having an intelligent conversation with a computer program that thinks i wouldn't be able to see through his innocent claims about wanting to make the city better with my knowledge of it, that is the story of my twisted life right there
I covered up the laughter by saying "you need a kid like my annoying sister to make this place better, it looks fine to me" the last bit about the city seeming fine was the biggest lie i have told today
The baron cleared his throat to tell me to shut up "Do you know where your sister is?"
"Mr Baron Praxis-"i started but he interrupted
"Baron"
"Baron, if i knew where my sister was i would be there with her"
The baron nodded "right well would you like to help us find your sister?" he asked
"Please!" i exclaimed, i wonder why he wants Teigans help to find me maybe when he does he will use me as a hostage, i silently snorted at my thought, me a hostage never.
"Good your training will start in a few days" the baron sat back in his chair
"Wait" i said standing up and leaning on the desk "i want a few things done before i help you" i paused so i could think up how i would word this because im not meant to know much about this world "first i want the girl named Aylar to be set free, second i want to pilot, third when you find my sister and my cousin i want to be the first to talk to them, and finally i want a good room not a crap one, got it?" i said demandingly looking at the baron
"Done, training can start in a few days, of course and i will need a description, floor 1 room 3 on the right" the baron seemed to be serious about the situation, good this should be easy but i spoke too soon.
"But i have some rules too, first you will be polite, second, you must choose a team, third you must learn the phonetic alphabet, fourth you may have to share the room with another guard if we get anymore and finally you will wear the right uniform from now on"
"Fine" i said but then i remembered another thing "can i have this?" i asked as i grabbed the object i played with earlier
"Go ahead take it" the baron turned around so he could look out the window that looked down on the good part of the city
When i left the room i retraced my steps and found a sign that said:
Floor 20
Barons' office.
"Ok so he said floor 1 room 3 on the right didn't he, so nineteen floors lower" i mumbled as i jumped down the stairs with such power that i skipped all the stairs, i sighed "I love this planets gravity"
After jumping nineteen times in whole i saw another sign that read:
Floor 1
Gym
Girls' quarters
Garden
"Cool they have a garden on this floor and a gym" i looked at all the doors the doors to my left were numbered differently to home, they had those symbols that you saw sometimes in the game and of course i can read symbol "great" i muttered slightly turning my head to the right "now i need to learn how to spell words like they do, i can barely spell in English" i said about to give up when i noticed something, i could understand the writing, i pulled my head up and then i couldn't understand it when i realised
"The writing looks like English words when i tilt my head because its English letters written on their side, thats awesome" i tilted my head again and saw two number 3 doors facing one another, i opened the door marked 3 in the right of me and found a nice room, there were 2 beds, a mirror, piano though what a piano was doing there i didn't know, bookshelf, 3 cupboards, 2 desks and window.
"This room isn't half bad" i said as i put my bag on the bed next to the window, the ball thingy on the desk closes to my bed and closes to the piano "Now to show my talents as a pianist" i sad dramatically.
I played 'I gotta feeling' and 'Prelude' i liked those two songs on piano, and it helped that i knew 'I gotta feeling' off by heart and i was learning 'Prelude'
When i had enough with the piano i looked at the window, it was dark already "Jeez i lost time again" i muttered as i climbed into my bed it was very comfy and warm the result was me sleeping like a baby the whole night.
I awoke to my light turning on; it was my mum "Tenile get up its time for school"
"What? But i was at the palace and, what this can't be happening i did not just dream that up, did i?" I climbed out of my bed sadly, my dream was so real that i was sure it was real; i looked at my Play station
"You sent me into Jak2 right?" i asked not really expecting an answer from the electronic device
When i finished getting dressed i walked out of the house skipping breakfast, i had to think about my dream, sure it was just a dream but it was so real and exciting; i wanted to be back there to all the interesting stuff and the unknown, not here where i can guess what's going to happen
I sighed loudly as i reached school, it looked like a prison, gray stone walls; tiny windows most had tiny bars on them, and to top it off the school had a huge fence around it to add to the prison image
The day went the same as it always did, except every now and then someone would bug me by asking "What's wrong Tenile?" and i would put a fake smile on my face; look up and reply "Nothing" with my sweetest voice, and even my friends thought i was telling the truth, well so i thought
"Tenile Bryce stop right now you twit" it was Megan the only person that could get an inkling about what i was feeling
"Yes?" i asked planting the smile on my face again
"Nu-Poohnu!" Megan cried to me angrily
"What? Why did you say that!" i said slightly insulted, i was the only friend she could trust then she says she hates me! No way, i have stuck by her so many times
"Tenile how am I suppose to help you for a change if you lie to me and hide your feelings?" She said
"You're not, i can handle things by myself" I said as i turned on my heel and left "Sorry Megan but i will get over it in my own time" I called as she just stood outside the gates and watched me run off
When i got home i put everything away and went to my desk, pulled out paper and a pencil, then i started drawing; nothing in particular
When i agreed with myself that the drawing could not be up-graded any further i looked at my window, it was dark so i went outside to the lounge room it was 9pm i should be in bed i thought as i changed without having dinner, and lay in my bed
I thought about my dream and how really it was but my thoughts were swept away when i was taken by sleep.
Dream time ends!
I was awoken by movement in my room, i didn't show that i was awake i just listened the person came closer to my bed and i did the only thing a girl in my position would do, i punched them right in the face knocking them out, then i turned on the light to see who the intruder was.
How was it? I had fun writing most of it though i admit it did go a little slow in the middle, and im sorry i tried i really did but i just HAD to leave i tiny cliffhanger, the chapter went i little longer then expected because i added the last paragraph after the dream because i wasn't sure if you all would know that there is another chapter after this one so yeah, PM me or RNR please your advice is always taken into account.
