Grayson's POV:

Armen?! What was HE doing here...IN MY HEAD!? It must be a telepathy link...But they're here? Who...does he mean the-

"Do you think they followed us? Or that they were aware that we were there?"

I looked at Mia and blinked...

"I'll go check."

I patted Drake on the shoulder, and left the room. I looked up...hmmmm...it's raining a lot...and the fog will make it hard to see a thing. I hear a snap of a twig and flipped around, my sword raised in a defensive arc...but noting was there. Until I say a flash of purple...

"Luke...I know your there..."

He stepped forward...

"You need to run...they're coming"

He looked alarmed but determined...Wait a minute...WHY WAS HE HELPING ME?...(Awww...Luke cares)

"Luke...Why-"

He shushed me...

"Because of that potion...and the Base..."

I nodded, and turned to run back inside, and the last thing I saw before coming in was his shadow, as he left the court yard.

"Their Here! Their Here!"

I shouted and shut the door.

"Then get back inside!...Ughhh...there's literally no where to hide in this place!"

She looked very scared...I could see why...about 2,00 of them vs. 3 of us. I turned around and opened the secret door, as I heard Drake say:

"Ohh, trust me there is."

"But...no there-...Oh my gosh"

Mia looked at the door and flew through.

"Enter! NOW!"

I shouted. I looked at Drake as he walked through the door. He wasn't sure if he should...To be honest, I can't blame him. He shook his head...I won't let him do this...I NEED to protect him

"Go Drake!"

The last thing I saw before closing the door, were his two eyes. A purple enderman one and the white eye of a demon.

Turning around I pulled my sword out, and I knew what to do, I had to burn the place down. I was going to pull my Flint n' Steel out when I heard the door open.

"Alright, Alright, lets get this over with."

I turned around to see Drake walk out with a talisman. The warning just met my lips, when I heard a zip and saw a arrow hit Drake in the arm.

"Agggghhhhhhhhhh!"

He cried out. Blood trickled down his arm as he pulled the arrow out. Anger surged through me. How dare they! They can come after me but NOT my friends.

"DRAKE! IN NOW!"

I swung open the secret door and closed the front doors. And then, I started to push him in the secret room. He just stepped aside and grabbed his fallen talisman, and reopened the front doors.

"Hold on"

He started to mumble something, and the talisman started to glow. I knew what he was doing...

"GO! DRAKE!...Trust me."

I was yelling at him now. I just hoped he would listen...but unfortunately we have the same goals...to protect each other.

"I HAVE to do this Grayson! I Have-"

"I have to burn the place to the ground..."

"But I can stop them!" (Drake...Don't you get No?)

"NO! I have to burn the place to the ground!"

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Mia peek her head out in disbelief.

"What?"

She looked alarmed, but I didn't care. My mind was made up.

"GET OUT"

I was furious now. I mean damn it Drake! Why in the name of Notch does he have to be so stubborn?

"You CAN'T just waste such a valuable resource! This place is a base."

Drake said yelling at me. He looked determined, and for a moment I thought...maybe...No I have to...I can't take that risk. I needed to make him see that.

"There 3 of us and a entire country of them! They can't get anywhere here, or else."

"They'll discover the secret door!"

Ughhhh... My God! Why is he so stubborn!

"Oh My God, their right outside!"

I looked at Mia and saw the fear in her eyes...

"Exactly, which is why I need to burn it down. GO!"

"Arghhh...Fine! Arghhh"

Drake said. I sighed in relief as he slumped his shoulder and went in to the secret room. After seeing Mia go in, I shut the door, and grabbed the pole I used to pick at the ash's in a fire. I then heard a cannon, and knew I had to be quick. This old place wouldn't stand up for long. Giving it one big twist, I jammed it into the door, so the mercenaries couldn't get in. I walked over two my bed, and pulled of any thing that was flammable, and set it all on fire. Soon a thick smell of burned wood, acid and smoke filled my nose, and started to clog my airways. I wrinkled my nose in disgust. That smell reminded me of when my house was burned down...and then my family...gah...I can't think of that now. I pulled open a secret chest that contained 2 fire pits...Perfect. That would cause so much smoke, they won't be able to find the secret door. As I lit one, I heard a smash, and flipped around to see a mercenary. I flipped back and kicked him in the chest. I heard a gasp as he fell back, but I didn't except for him to grab his bow and shoot me.

"Arggghhhh!"

I yelled out as it hit my neck. I side kicked him, and tried to run into the secret room, but he caught my leg. Grunting, I turned around and stabbed him in the chest. He sputtered, but wouldn't let go...hmm...what a persistent S.O.B. I struggled to keep my balance, as his blood and weight made it hard to stand up. I turned around and again gave him a stab in the chest, and slowly as I watched his life drain, his grip loosened on me. When he let go, I ran into the secret room and slammed the door shut. I set down the other fire pit, leaned on the bookshelf and pulled out the arrow. My head was spinning...not good...keep it together. My fingers went gingerly to the wound...good...it wasn't fatal. I heard Mia and Drake talking, and bent down, and lit the pit. I hear Drake come up the ladder, and slowly stood up.

"Grayson?! Please tell me that's you?...OH MY GOD! GRAYSON!...Are you okay?"

I turned around and saw his worried face...and soon I found my voice.

"Go."

I told him in a choked voice. That smoke was making it hard to talk and breath...this was bad. He turned around and followed me to the ladder. I went down first and looked up at him.

"Arghhh...I can't see a thing!"

He said roughly. I stepped aside as he stepped down and I closed the hatch. I looked around, breathing a breath of fresh air. I walked towards the table and set my sword down. I then went up the stairs and looked around, think what I needed.

"There too much smoke coming from up there."

I looked back at Drake. Judging the amount of smoke coming through...we probably had 15 minutes. Perfect...all we needed.

"Alright! If the don't find us...I need you to go through the passage way so I can get the egg."

I looked at both Mia and Drake. We can do this, well...at least I hope we can. I saw Drake nod:

"Alright, got it."

He seemed less worried now...good. We all needed calm heads.

"Umm...shouldn't we grab whatever, we think is valuable? Cause I see a lot of magical artifact that I really...really want."

I looked at Mia and gave her a tight smile.

"Well, there are a couple things I need to grab...first I need to put down the map. I need to put it down."

I jumped down the stairs, and set the map down. Soon it started to connect with the other one...Perfect. I turned around and grabbed the Final Key. I set my backpack down, shoved the key in and turned back to the table.

"Grayson. You need to grab all your items..."

I gave him a sharp look. (Really Drake. You sound like Mia...lol)

"Ok..well not EVERYTHING...but the most valuable ones."

I thought about it for a moment...we could use them.

"Smoke is starting to com through the hatch."

I looked at Mia...we're running out of time. Ugh...this is NOT good. Then something caught my eye. The map was "loading" in.

"Look! Look!"

I yelped. Both Drake and Mia ran over to me.

"Did you find it?"

I looked at Drake. I've never seen him so happy. I know that feeling. I looked back down at the map.

"Its..."

I tried to remember were that place was. Unfortunately no success.

"Ohh my Goodness..."

I turned and looked at Mia. She looked amazed...I can see why...this will be HUGE for her. I was about to reply when we hard another BOOM. Two more cannon shots and the place goes down...we need to be fast!

"Ok...Grab the maps and lets GO!"

Mia was just as worried as I was. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Drake nod.

"We need to be quick."

"Right. Grayson? Is there anything you want us to grab?"

I blinked and thought for a moment. My mind stalled as I tried to think of what we needed. I decided to screw it...after all everything in here is useful.

"Grab anything."

Mia looked at me...

"What?"

Ughhh...did I need to repeat this...we were running out of time.

"Grab anything."

I saw her nod and pick up a spell book. Good, we'll need that. Beside me, I heard Drake let out a frustrated sigh...

"My God, Grayson! How do you look at these things?!"

I chuckled...With Drake being able to teleport you'd think he could read a map...but...we all have our quirks. I walked back to the table and picked the maps up.

"Ok...I have the maps, my money and now...I need the Egg."

Drake looked in amazement.

"You haven't even told me were it is."

I guess he really wanted to see it.

"What about all this weaponry?"

I turned around and looked back at Drake as he was pointing to the spear...Hmmmmm...Nah leave it...it won't be useful.

"I grabbed this really important looking bow."

I smiled at Mia...Good, that would be useful.

"You can keep it, just go now.

I looked on as my friends went through another secret door. And as I picked up the egg I thought to myself:

"There was once a young boy...His name was Grayson...He was orphaned at 13 and struggled to survive. And after coming to this "new world" or the distant future...he found new love. Had a child, and lived a life that he never could have...what did he forget? That HE was always waiting for REVENGE."
