I would like to dedicate this chapter to Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart) who sadly died on the 25th of February.
"It's gonna be wicked tonight"
Cathy was in her dorm room busy getting ready, her friend Marcy lay on her bed.
"Can't wait to see Sanjay" Cathy continued.
Marcy was looking up at the ceiling and hadn't noticed that Cathy was talking to her, but then Marcy didn't notice anything unless it was male and breathing on her.
"Marcy you listening to me" Cathy asked.
"What" Marcy said sounding really bored.
"I said it's gonna be wicked tonight, and that I can't wait to see Sanjay" Cathy repeated.
"Yeah what ever" Marcy replied without looking at Cathy.
"Sanjay said he's going to bring his mates Luke josh and Danny along tonight," Cathy added.
That got Marcy's attention.
"Really" she said as she shot up.
Cathy began to grin any mention of boys and Marcy was there.
"Yeah there going to meet us at the union" Cathy answered trying not to laugh.
"Can't wait" Marcy continued.
This made Cathy roll her eyes.
"You don't say" Cathy added.
Meanwhile Sanjay was waiting outside the dorm building for Luke josh and Danny. Luke was the first to arrive
"On time as always" Sanjay said as Luke walked up to him.
"Super alien brain remember" Luke replied tapping his head.
This made Sanjay smile he had missed Luke not being around over the holidays and was glad he was back at oxford, but Sanjay could see Luke wasn't himself.
"Everything ok" he asked.
"I'm not sure I had another nightmare, but I think it was more than just a nightmare," Luke explained.
"What do you mean more that just a nightmare?"
"There was this girl in my nightmare, she said she had come to warn me of what was to come"
"What did she tell you?"
"She didn't tell me anything, that dark figure appeared and she told me I had to leave"
"And that when you woke up"
Luke nodded.
"Strange thing is in the nightmare the girl pushed me onto the floor, and when I woke up I was on the floor almost as if I'd been physically pushed on the floor by her" Luke continued.
"And that's why you think it was more than just a nightmare" Sanjay replied.
Luke nodded.
"I think she really is trying to warn me about something, what are we going to do?" Luke asked.
Sanjay put his hand on Luke's shoulder.
"Don't worry luke we'll work this out together," Sanjay answered.
"Sort what out"
Luke and Sanjay turned to see josh and Danny walking towards them.
"Oh nothing, Luke's just been having nightmares about eldritch that's all" Sanjay quickly explained.
"I'm not surprised, that guy was just creepy" josh continued.
"Anyway" Sanjay said trying to change the subject.
"We best get going, don't want to keep Cathy waiting" Sanjay added.
Sanjay and the others left unaware that the two men were watching them.
"Finally there leaving" one man said.
"Well lets find the dog before they get back" the other man replied.
"Just one question"
The two men turned to see mark Hawkins leaning against a wall.
"Why are two unit soldiers skulking about a university?" he casually asked.
"Hawkins, what are you doing here" one of the soldiers demanded.
"Now that would be telling wouldn't it" mark replied.
Mark started to walk towards the soldiers.
"Now why don't you to scuttle back to your mistress, and tell her to do her own dirty work" he continued.
One of soldiers pulled out a pistol.
"Hold it right there" he told mark.
"You think that peashooter's scary, it isn't even a proper gun" mark replied.
Mark then quickly pulled out his twin laser blasters.
"Now these are proper guns," he continued.
Mark's guns began to whistle as they powered up.
"So here's the choice, either you two can go back to Anna in one piece, or we can have a nice shoot out" mark added.
The unit soldier lowered his gun.
"This isn't over Hawkins," he said as he left with the other soldier.
"They never just leave, they always have to say something" mark said to himself.
Mark put his guns away and headed in the direction Luke and the others had gone.
Luke and the others had now arrived at the union and met up with Cathy.
"Cathy" Sanjay greeted
"Hey Sanjay, hello again Luke" Cathy replied.
"Hi Cathy" Luke answered.
"Cathy this is josh and Danny" Sanjay introduced.
"How's it going" Cathy replied.
"So where's the rest of the gang" Sanjay asked.
"Oh Marcy's around somewhere problem looking for another conquest, Georgina and Sarah are getting drinks and Ash Callum Rob and Frosty are busy getting ready back stage" Cathy answered.
"I didn't know they were playing tonight," Sanjay continued.
"Yeah Ash's cousin TK has come over and he's playing with them" Cathy explained.
Cathy's friends Georgiana and Sarah joined Luke and the others and once everyone had been introduced to each other the lights in the union went down.
Everyone began to cheer as a teenage boy with long hair and a guitar in his hand appeared with another teen boy holding a bass guitar.
"Are you ready to rock" the boy with long hair shouted.
The crowd replied with a loud yes as another teen boy with spiked hair walked over to a keyboard and another wearing glasses sat at a drum kit.
"Then lets get this party started" the boy continued.
The teen on bass started to play and was soon followed by the boy on drums.
"Let me see your hands" the boy added as he began to clap with the music.
The crowd clapped with him as the teen on keyboard also began to play and soon the boy on guitar begin to sing.
The paranoia is in bloom
The P.R transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs, keep us dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
So come on
Another promise another scene, another
Packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed with all
The green belts wrapped around our minds an endless
Red tape to keep the truth confined.
So come on
"The one singing is rob that's Callum on drums Ash on keyboard and Frosty on bass" Sanjay told Luke.
They will not force us
And they will degrading us
And they will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on
"Tonight we have a special treat please welcome TK Lee" Rob announced.
TK came on to stage playing a guitar and began to sing.
Interchanging mind control
Come let revolution take is toll
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
"Sing it Rob" TK Shouted.
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know it's coming too an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
"There pretty good aren't they" Sanjay continued.
Luke nodded in agreement, this was the first time he had seen a band live and he was loving every minute. Everyone started to jump up and down as Rob and TK began to sing together.
They will not force us
And they will degrading us
And they will not control us
We will be victorious
"HEY" the crowd began to chant in time with the music as Rob and TK played a guitar solo between them.
"This is awesome" josh shouted over the music.
Everyone carried on jumping around apart from Luke as something had made him stop. In the corner of the room by the door stood a girl in a red dress, Luke couldn't believe his eye's it was the girl from his nightmare.
"It can't be" Luke said to himself.
The band began to play another song and Sanjay noticed Luke wasn't dancing around with everyone else.
"What's wrong mate?" he asked.
"It's the girl from my nightmare" Luke said as he pointed.
But the girl was no longer there.
"I don't see anyone," Sanjay continued.
"She must have gone outside" Luke added.
And with that Luke bolted towards the door.
"Luke wait" Sanjay shouted.
Sanjay tried to follow him but the crowd swelled between them and he lost sight of Luke.
Luke was soon outside and could see the girl waiting for him at the end of an alley.
"Who are you" Luke asked for what seemed Luke the hundredth time.
"Who I am is unimportant, what I have to tell you is" the girl replied.
The girl walked closer to Luke.
"You have to leave this place Luke smith before they come for you" she told him.
"Before who comes for me?" Luke asked.
"The servants of the dark one" she replied.
But before Luke could say anymore there was an inhuman scream,
A winged creature flew down from the sky and the girl looked really scared.
"Oh no they've found us already" she said.
The girl turned to Luke and grabbed him.
"You have to leave Luke smith you must leave now," she demanded.
"Hey I'm not going anywhere," Luke told her.
Without any warning the creature swooped down and flew towards them.
"Get down" Luke yelled as he pulled the girl to the ground.
The creature flew over them clipping Luke's shoulder with it's claws,
luke let out a cry of pain as the creature flew back into the sky and circled.
"You have to get out of here," the girl pleaded.
"I'm not leaving you" Luke replied.
The creature flew back towards them and Luke quickly picked up a rock.
luke threw it at the winged monsters head and the rock hit his target.
"Got it" Luke yelled as the creature crashed to the ground.
But Luke's victory was short lived as the creature jumped up and charged at luke knocking him to the ground,
The creature screamed again as it went in for the kill.
"I'm sorry mum," Luke said as he closed his eyes.
To be continued.
Oh yes yet another cliffhanger. Sorry this chapters taken longer than normal will try to get the next chapter uploaded sooner.
And if anyone wants to know what the song the band play is it's called uprising by muse and yes the TK in the story is me lol.
