(Sorry I've been inactive recently, to be honest I got bored but I'm back and I have way too much free time on my hands right now, so I hope you enjoy)
Chapter 21.
Katy
I groan and turn towards the floor to hide from the sun, but my arm shakes and it doesn't hold my weight for long.
I look up, squinting.
My head, Oh my head is pounding. I massage my scalp, hoping the pain will ease.
What just happened?
My wrist burns, I look at it and see a black band around it.
Oh fuck, I forgot about that.
You know what, the risk of keeping this bracelet on is greater than if I take it off.
I find my dagger that I keep strapped to my thigh at all times.
Oh fucking hell, my head. I'm nearly in tears and I just want to go home.
I hear footsteps running towards me. Up. Up, now Katy.
I can't be bothered to try and survive, I'll get myself killed.
"She should be here," Goldilocks sighs, just around the corner from me.
I run down the alley way on my toes.
I look back every five seconds. Because I'm not paying attention to where I'm going, I run into a gang of young guys.
I take a few steps back before I end up mugged or something.
No, they're coming down the alley.
I look back, shit what do I do?
I don't think I'm in an English speaking country, so I don't know if I can communicate with the boys but either way one of them notices I'm crying and looks behind me.
"Tatemono-nai de subayaku" he snaps, pulling me by the arm into an abandoned building behind them.
He pulls me up a flight of metal steps.
I'm out of breath quickly and my chest hurts. I trip up the step and he catches me.
He gives me the thumbs up and I copy him, and nod. Then we continue, the other six lads following.
At the top floor, he opens the window and I follow him when he climbs out.
I follow him to the very edge.
"There She is!" I hear a call.
I take a few steps back, but before I know it I'm being forced over the edge.
Not by the boy though, is this a telekinetic force?
My body lunges forwards and the floor disappears as the ground below moves closer.
I don't react quick enough.
Pain shoots up my ankles and I land on my shoulder. I see stars and my vision is blurred.
I'm pulled up.
So, that's how she was able to use the Loralite.
Blondie's a Guarde.
Back at the apartment, I collapse onto the floor.
"We warned you." Blondie sneers.
"Well What the fuck do you want with me?" I scream.
"I don't want you, if it were up to me I'd have you in bottom of the dumpster in that alley. But you've an uncommon legacy and can control it, so the Foundation want you. Next time I'm requesting like an eight year old or some shit."
"You're not going to do much if I can make it rain at times mate, become a meteorologist if you want to know what the weather's gonna be like."
"Hisaya has your dress, we have half an hour before we need to leave and my boss won't be happy if we're late."
"What do I need a dress for?"
"Just go."
My ankle hurts when I put weight on it but, ignoring that, I go to the room. Through the crack in the door, I hear Hisaya crying on the edge of the bed, her hands cover her face.
"Hisaya?" I whisper.
She looks up and jumps off the bed. "What do I want?" She scowls.
"Are you okay?" Of course she's not okay, she's scared.
She wipes her face.
"Here," I say, taking the sleeve of my blouse and moving my hand slowly towards her face. She flinches, so I pull back but when she comes closer, I wrap my arms around her.
"I want home to go to."
"I want to go home too. Where do you live?"
"In this city, but I can't go home. Not ever"
"Which city are we in Hisaya?"
"Tokyo."
Right, why do I need to be in Tokyo?
