Me: Hey guys Im so sorry for not posting, I've been super busy. So this is a short chapter.
Solace: Yeah, I bet you're sorry.
Brooke: Really she is. And she would like to thank all her supporters including DerpyJam who reviewed forever ago.
Dean: Again, we are truly sorry! :D
Solace: Well Im not.
D'Anna: Course you aren't.
Chapter 14: Change of plans
I stared at the wall, running my nails against the stubborn wooden chair. My eyes darkened as I dug my ankles into the sides of the legs. I growled at the silence I had now grown accustomed to hate. Something I hated most, was being in this kind of position. A position where I had to choose. And that choice would mean life or death. The Mesmer was planning something. I had overheard him speaking with another man. They were planning to move me whether I chose them or not, far far away. And they were planning to do it today.
I had to warn my friends. And if there was any chance of escaping, it would have to e now. I closed my eyes as my mind travelled however many miles I was away from society, and back to Havenfield, under the bed of a particular fourteen year old. What I found was not my brother, but a slip of paper that read:
Hey Brooke, if you're reading this, I thought you might come looking for me. Obviously I'm not here, I am safe from reach. I'd try contacting Solace if you want a word with me. We're coming soon, don't worry. Love, Kalyn
I was surprised I could even see the paper, but I didn't have time to ponder on how i saw it. Smart kid, I thought as my mind travelled to Mysterium, and in to Solaces house. I spotted Solace, D'Anna, and Solaces little sister Lite before I collided mentally with Kalyn.
"Brooke," he cried "Is there something wrong?"
"Bad news guys," I said to them "They're going to move me. Today. You guys have to come now, or I will be long gone, and you'll never find me."
"Ok," D'Anna said "Thanks for the heads up."
"We're going to come an get you as soon as we can," Solace added "And then we will kick some Mesmer butt."
"Looking forward to it." I said then locked onto Kalyn's thoughts, blocking everyone out for just the moment.
"Is it time yet?" I transmitted "Should I tell mom and dad?"
"No," He replied "Not yet. Not until I'm sure that they will understand."
"Ok."
I opened the conversation back up "I have to go now."
"Ok, Brooke, bye."
"We'll be there sooner than you know it."
"Just follow my thoughts," I suggested "I can figure out from the Mesmer exactly where we are and the complexity of the security."
"Ok."
I came out of their minds and was whisked back to my cold prison. The rescue was happening today. I had to warn Dean. And my parents. I came into Deans mind first.
"Dean?"
"What?"
"Our friends are coming to rescue us today."
"What? Really?"
"Yes. Be ready."
"Ok."
My parents were a bit harder to explain to.
"Mom? Dad?"
"Brooke, are you ok?!"
"Yes, I am. I just wanted to tell you that my friends are coming to rescue us. You have to be ready."
"What?" My dad thought "Absolutely not."
"They are coming." I said
"I will not allow this. They are not strong enough. There are too many guards. They will die."
"What your father is trying to say is that it's not safe. We'll be fine. They could get hurt."
"I don't care what you think." I said firmly "They said they were coming. And if you don't want to get rescued, then that's fine by me."
"They cannot come!"
"You think you can tell me what to do?"
"We are your parents."
"No you're not!" I finally without thinking "You are part of The Black Swan! You're evil!"
My parents were silent "How did you know about that?"
I bit my lip. How was I going to explain how I knew? I couldn't tell them about Kalyn. He said not yet.
So instead I said "How long did you expect to hide it from me? I could have taken it! I could have taken the truth!"
"We were sworn to secrecy! We took an oath!"
"Why did you join them? Why did you join that evil organization? You have to tell me. I think it's about time I knew something."
"They're not evil. The Black Swan is bigger than you could ever know."
"Try me."
"Ok, the people who captured us? They are the bad guys. We have no idea what they are called yet, but only that they want power and they are going to try and take over the world. The Black Swan is working as sort of an anti- force. We are protecting the world."
"Why did you join them?" I repeated
"Because we wanted change. We were threatened."
"By this evil group?"
"Yes."
"What did they want?"
"...we can't tell you."
"No- it's about time she knows."
"Knows what?" I asked
"Well, you... had a brother. A twin actually. We were considered a bad match. Bad people. And our children were supposed to be impulsive, and naughty. But in some rare matches, it made the children more powerful. You were one of those rare children. Your brother especially. He was taken to the Descryer, and we were told that indeed we would be very powerful, but would be targeted by an evil organization. And they would try and recruit him. So we had to hide him. Let him go to a normal school, unnoticed. So he could never be found. And we erased all the memories of him from you, to protect you if they came with questions."
"But how did you find them?"
"We were kidnapped. By them. After we sent him off. They asked us why we sent him away. Of course we thought they were evil. We said that we were protecting him from Them. Then they explained how they were protecting the world and there was a much bigger force to worry about. They said that if we joined them, they would watch over our son, and do everything in their power to protect him. So we agreed."
I didn't know what to say. But my parents got me.
"You...don't seem surprised to know you ha a brother."
"No, not really." I agreed.
I couldn't tell them that I knew about Kalyn, but I could hide the fact that I wasn't surprised either.
"Why not?"
"Becuase after I knew you were with the Black Swan, I had no idea what else you were hiding."
"You saw the letter and you knew didn't you?" my dad thought "You can read cipher runes."
"Actually I can't." I said "But the big black swan on the back of it wasn't exactly sutle. I did some researching."
"You snooped in our stuff."
I sighed "You can't drone everything from me. I am old enough now that you need to trust me. And you have to trust me on this. We're getting rescued. Today."
"Ok, Brooke."
As I retracted out of their minds, I became uncertain. Would Kalyn and my friends be able to rescue me? Or will the Mesmer see it coming a mile away...?
Me: K, guys that's a for now. Stay tuned!
Brooke: Bye! Plez review!
