Part 10
The Crystal Room...
"I
am NOT going to do that," Mel said, glaring at
Flinch.
"Awww...come on," he said with an evil sneer,
"We'll let you go if you co-operate."
Mel spat in his
face.
"ERGH! Yuck! What do you think you're DOING?" Flinch yelled in a shrill voice and turned around, making his way back to Malco.
"Silly brat. She won't help us," Flinch muttered, "But she's our only chance of not getting fried!"
Malco grunted.
"Yes, maybe you're right, Malco," Flinch mused thoughtfully, "Maybe if we scare her into breaking the barrier, she'll do it!"
Malco
gave a long ignorant grunt.
"That's it! I'm a genius!"
Flinch cried out and turned towards Mel whose head was drooping
slightly. She looked up.
"What do you want?" she said under her breath.
"Heh
heh. Heh heh. HEHEHEHEH!" Flinch laughed ridiculously, "Let's
see what you can do NOW." He brought up a couple of digata
stones to her face.
Mel cringed and turned her head away.
"I
am NOT going to help you get the crystal," she blurted out
bluntly.
Flinch flicked the stones at her. "Psyclone!"

The Ball
"We're back," Adam said with Seth, making their ways through the crowds of people with STILL dancing. It was amazing to believe they still had the energy, especially since it was nearing midnight.
"You're back!" Kara jumped up from the white seat she was sitting on. Her face was pale with worry and its usual brightness seemed to be sucked out.
"Kara,
Erik!" Seth rushed up to them, "Where's Mel?"
Erik
looked at him with an eyebrow raised and put his hands on Kara's
trembling shoulders.
"YOU went to look for her, remember?"
Seth
was speechless. He looked at Adam with an angry glare.
"Adam,
do you-" he started, but was cut off by a scream. Everyone
looked up. The music stopped, people paused from their dancing and
even the people who were eating dropped their food.
"It's the Crystal!!! Someones trying to STEAL it!!!"
