Sorry for the wait guys anyway here's the next chap.


Landon - Nathaniel

"For the record this is your fault Owen!" Sean yelled

"How can this be my fault?" Owen yelled back, "Your the leader that told us to go there in the first place!"

"You didn't have to blab Crawley!" Sean said standing up

"Yes I did! He knows you lied about the survivors so that's why we're in here!" Owen said standing up

"Why don't we find out whose fault it is right here right now!" Sean said drawing a concealed knife from his sleeve.

"Alright then tough guy!" Owen shot back drawing two concealed knives from his sleeves.

Then the two friends charged at each other knives drawn.

"Those two never get along in here. It's like this place has bad vibes." Landon thought.

The guards were so used to Owen and Sean trying to killing each other, and failing at it, they stopped trying to break them up. This was how they relieved stress. The guards in this certain precinct were used to the six of them. They didn't bother checking for weapons anymore so usually their fights would've been a bit noisier. This time though Ms. Jones from Public Affairs had supervised their "arrest" so they Sean and Owen could only have at it with concealed weaponry. To be fair though Owen was way better at hiding his knives then all of them so Landon wouldn't be surprised if he had 10 knives in his sleeves alone. So Owen had a better chance to win this fight.

The girls were in another area of the precinct where the girls were being held. He didn't know what its was like, but he bet the girls' cells were way better than the guy cells.

He wondered if Chelsea and Elise were fighting about now. Those two were a lot like Owen and Sean that way. It was no wonder since Elise and Sean were cousins while Chelsea and Owen were twin siblings. Although they were twins the two of them were opposites in terms of personality. Owen usually calm, Chelsea was hot-headed. Owen was a bit of an idiot while Chelsea was a smart-aleck.

"It's not fair you have too many knives! If my other weapons were hear I could beat you easily!" Sean complained while he was flat on the ground

"Even if you had a cannon you couldn't beat me!" Owen said dancing around, celebrating his short victory.

Landon groaned. The last night had been incredibly eventful. First a demon told him he was a magician in his past. Then crazy immortal demon creatures came. After that the Resistance had abandoned them. He even lost his eye-patch, at the moment he was covering his grotesque scar with some bandages. The demon had slashed his already blind eye so now he needed to patch it up again. Then the moment the government demons appeared they started running away. Then that girl, Jones, she knew his name in his past life, Nathaniel. He wasn't even sure how he remembered that what his old name.

That girl, how did she know? Perhaps she was connected to his past. Someone he knew. Slowly but surely Landon West fell into a deep sleep.

He was inside a great room. The walls appeared to be made of glass the area was well furnished and had a bright aura to it. Landon recognized this place, but he couldn't determine where.

"Where am I?" Landon said aloud

"You should remember." A sinister voice said from the shadows "This is the place of your birth"

"My birth? How can I remember that?" Landon asked angrily

"Not the birth of your past. The birth of your persona, the birth of Landon West."

"The birth of Landon West?" Landon thought back to the earliest memories he had. The moment he first woke up. Then he realized the answer. "This is the Glass Palace before it fell!"

"Thats right!" The voice shouted "This is where I died and where you were born!"

"Who are you?"

Then a figure stepped from the shadows clothed in a suit and dark cape. His skin was pail and his hair was slicked back. He carried an aura of darkness about him. He had blood-shot eyes and he looked exactly like Landon.

"Nathaniel"

Landon shot up, panting heavily. He was sweating from all over and his heart was racing with shock. He always had dreams about his past. Once he was being chased by little demons while he was a child. Another was a great towering monster striking him. A few times he was attacked by human beings. This was the first time he saw himself. Was he slowly gaining his memories back? Was the Nathaniel inside him slowly awakening?


Kitty

"You want to interrogate my prisoners?" Thomas Crawley asked

"To be fair it was my department that arrested them." Kitty said "We're letting you keep them because they seem to be more comfortable talking in your precinct."

"Yeah, what she said" Bartimaeus said

"Bart I'm bringing you along, because you said you would be quiet." Kitty snapped

"I'm sorry." The djinn pouted "I'm just so bored!"

"Do something to entertain yourself besides bother me."

"Ehem" Crawley coughed "I'm fine with you interrogating them, but remember those six aren't people you should underestimate."

Kitty nodded and observed the inmates on the monitor. She gasped when she looked at the screens monitoring the two cells. The men's are had slashes and burn marks all over. The women's had slashes on ceiling and floor as well, but fortunately no burns. There were even knives cluttered on the floor of both sides. In one the men's room the tall blonde one was cheering happily while collecting the knives as the long-haired man was skulking. Landon West was simply staring at the ceiling. In the women's room the girl with glasses was reading a book while the other two were having a shouting match.

"Tom, what's with these cells?" Kitty asked

"Those kids are awfully good at concealing weaponry so we don't bother stopping them bring their weapons in."

"But they might escape!"

"They can't the bars can withstand even an angry marid blasting of detonations."

"They might kill each other!"

"They haven't succeeded killing each other with spears and swords so a few knives can hardly do much damage."

"You have some odd suspects."

"I thought they were your suspects and I was simply holding them for you?" Thomas laughed

"I'll interrogate West first." Kitty said


"Hello again Ms. Jones" Landon said calmly

"You told me before you had nothing to do with the attacks." Kitty remarked

"Well I didn't then, but now I do." The man said calmly

"Why were you there? In the base of a Resistance group?"

"I was just engaging in some light conversation with some old friends. It was going fine until the Government's hounds attacked us."

"Well my apologies for disrupting your evening." Kitty said sarcastically "Those were not from us I can assure you! Those creatures are in no way affiliated to the Government."

"Really I assumed that's how the government does things."

"We are not like the old Government. We do not kill people."

"Why not? Isn't that what you do to traitors?" Landon spat the last word out. "Or to anyone that crosses you? Do you know about the orphanage beside your offices? Your government wants to tear it for a new office and use the kids as new magicians. Now I and my friends are supposed to pay extra tax in order to keep the orphanage alive!"

"How could I know about that? That's not my department. Now Mr. West –" Kitty paused. The conversation echoed the very night that haunted her dreams. She couldn't hear Landon's, no Nathaniel's words, but deep down she knew exactly what he was saying. She finally understood. This was Nathaniel not Landon West and he was confronting her as if she was the magician that robbed what was right in the world. She finally understood the pain John Mandrake, not Nathaniel, had to endure, the pain that John took in place of the kind-hearted Nathaniel. The pain of being a monster.


Nathaniel

"That makes it okay then? Not your department? None of that has anything to do with you –"

He saw a girl shouting at him. Angry, searching for justice and not finding it. Then he heard a sound echo. It came from his lips. It was cold and impersonal, yet it was his. "That's not my department", was what the voice said.

Then with that Landon collapsed to the floor.


Kitty

"Landon!" Kitty said shouted as the man fell to the floor. She quickly moved to him to check his condition. He was breathing heavily and was sweating rapidly. He looked her in the eyes. The eye she saw was not Landon West's, but someone else's.

"Landon?"

Then the man did something Landon West wouldn't do. He took her cheek in his right bandaged hand. He looked at her and said "Hi Kitty". Then he pulled her close to his face and kissed her. Then time time slowed down. Kitty couldn't think of anything, but the man that held her now. Suddenly he pulled away and began coughing out large amount of blood. He looked at her one last time and slipped into unconsciousness.
