Lexi sequel 10

Lexi's POV
I slowly came back into consciousness. There was a nasty taste in my mouth that made my nose itch. Then I felt that I was lying next to something furry. At first I had no idea what it was, but then I realized that it was Star. I looked around to my side and saw the back of Zak's head, the orange part of his shirt, and his back going up and down as he breathed. I also had a type of bandage wrapped around my middle.

It took me a second to realize what had happened and then alarm ran through me and I realized that I didn't see KD. He wasn't anywhere.

"KD?" I asked first in a whisper.

"KD!" I yelled with no answers.

Star leaped up and landed in an alarmed attack position. She started barking so I turned into a wolf to hear her.

"What? Lexi are you ok?" She nearly shouted. Through all of that I'm not sure how Zak was still asleep.

"Where's KD?" I demanded.

"Well… Um was it the other kid you were with?"

"Yes! Where is he?"

"Well, I hate to tell you but when we got there, we fought for all of you and we were able to get you out but they took KD. The other you and other him held us back while the girl with the jetpack got away with um… KD…."

"WHAT?! ZAK GET UP! WE HAVE TO FIND KD!"

"I don't think going to look for him is such a good idea, this Argost dude has old fashion Wanted posters up everywhere for you. He wants you so bad, and I can't read but Argost wants, I think, to torture you or maybe even kill you."

"I don't care! We need KD!"

Somewhere very distant and desolate…

Jake sat in a chair. He was laid back and seemed to be relaxing. His hair was somewhat flattened and wet like he had just gotten out of a pool. He leaned forward. Then his mentor entered the room.

"Are you Okay, Jake?"

"I just saw something," he said quietly to Dylexa. She was the mentor of the elements. She controlled ice, and force fields. She was an expert in defense and could be very understanding. She was also very smart. She had frizzy dark brown hair and had dark brown eyes that when you looked into them seemed to have a white blue glint.

"What did you see?" She asked calmly.

"KD, I got into his mind. He is in a castle thing, he was unconscious so I couldn't get much information but I heard Lexi's voice and Zak's voice. Then I heard that creepo Argost's voice. They were talking to each other planning something. I sent Bailey back out. She's really mad, actually I didn't tell her to go, she got so mad and went herself. I think it's better that she is going to vent her anger on the traitors than me."

"Very well. We'll wait and see what is going on."

Back with Lexi and Zak and the wolves…

Zak and I trailed behind Star, both in human form. We were taking a back route through a forest. We had to somehow go through one town without being caught by anyone. Then our small crowd of three would grab a ride on a boat that would take Zak and I to a port near the Saturdays' home. Star would stay behind and go back to her pack, and then they would go back to traveling. It was a simple easy plan as long as no one recognized us.

"Thank you so much Star for helping us," I said before entering to town. We were on a hill with lots of foliage.

"No problem, you're my friend and friends are supposed to help other friends."

"Yeah, um thanks Star, we appreciate your help."

"You're welcome, Zak, now let's tackle mission survive a walk across town."

We all clambered down the hill and came to a halt at the entrance. Ii stared at the old town. Everything was so old fashioned. I mean at least the exterior was. There were small sideways buildings and windows with flower boxes. There were horse carriages instead of cars that lined the streets. Paint was peeling off some of the buildings, and through some windows you could see old TVs, most of them on the show Weird world.

"Whoa, this is an… old town," Zak commented.

"Except look at that!"

I pointed to a Weird World flyer, and read it out loud. Now I was in the lead and Zak and Star followed me.

"It says, 'Greetings and Bienvenue Weird World fans and noble friends. As you have tried to follow my spectacular TV show, Weird World, you have failed in doing so because it has not been on air. Sadly this is because I have been done much wrong. The two children you see above have brought me much pain and I wish to show them how I feel. I want them, dead or alive. Alive is preferred, so I may tell them everything they don't want to hear. If they are asleep, but alive that is preferred so they can't fight back.

Fondly your fantastical TV host V. V. Argost."

"I hate him," Zak said flatly.

"Don't we all?" I replied with a question. Then I heard Star whimper. I turned around and stared wide eyed at what had come. A big round man had muzzled Star and thrown her into the back of a carriage like jail. The sign on the car said in big blood red letters 'ROSS BROTHER'S BUTCHER AND BLACKSMITH SHOP. It was the first thing in English I had seen. My jaw dropped and I ran forward.

"STAR!"

Just then Zak yelled out behind me and another taller round man with lots of muscles had put one of those Argost collars around his neck and then I felt one clamp around my own. Then I felt it tighten around my neck, so I almost couldn't breathe. I fell on my knees and then felt myself lifted by my ankles so I was upside down and I was carried to the jail carriage where I was tossed in and collapsed. They did the same thing with Zak and before I could try to escape Zak landed on top of me knocking the wind out of my lungs and then the rusty door slammed shut.
