Lisa blinked her eyes and tried to get up. She found that
her hands had been tied behind her back and there was a
gag in her mouth.
She blinked again and tried to remember what had happened.
These children had come and taken her and Chad away from
the city just after the citizens had left. When she woke
up they had dragged her along the road until they were at
some trucks. She had been hit in the head when they got
to the trucks and couldn't remember where Chad had been
taken.
Just then the truck she was in hit a bump. Lisa let out
a muffled cry as she hit a broom pole or something just
under her.
Someone in the front seat turned around and looked at her.
"So you're finally awake. I'm Elizabeth and this is Sam."
She said pointing to the kid beside her. Elizabeth reached
down and took out the gag. "Sorry about all that happened
back there. Sarg is alittle over dramatic, but he's the
King's second in command." She said, like it made
everything understandable.
Lisa looked at this girl perplexed. These people had
stormed into her city, attacked both Chad and herself,
and yet this girl was acting so friendly.
She thought for a moment then asked, "Where are we going?"
"Ha ha. Chicago! Of course! Ha ha." The girl giggled
at her as if the answer had been obvious.
"Oh. Why?" Lisa asked. She had the feeling it had
something to do with the King of Chicago.
"The King wanted you to come to Chicago. Sarg didn't
think it was a good idea. He had heard that you were
something of a barbarian."
Lisa pratically choked at this. Her, a barbarian?
"I didn't think that storming the place was such a hot
idea, so I told my brother as much, but he said we
shouldn't take any chances, then made me come along, to
make sure you stayed alive.
The girl turned and Lisa saw the huge bruise on her arm.
This was the girl she had hit with the pole.
"I'm sorry, but I don't really understand." Lisa said
shaking her head, she didn't trust this girl.
The girl sighed and started again. "I know you've been
through alot, and don't worry about not understanding,
I'm confused about alot concerning yourself and you're
friend."
"Oh, Chad, where is he? How is he? You didn't hurt him
did you? OH NO!!" Lisa couldn't help letting some of
her fear show.
"No, no, don't worry he's fine. I made sure Sarg didn't
hurt him, but I'm not sure what the guy he hit will do.
I made sure they'd be punished if they didn't listen to
me this time." She mumbled the last little bit, but Lisa
caught it.
At least he'll be okay, she thought to herself.
"Oh, I"m sorry about having to hit you like I did when
we got to the trucks. I couldn't risk you being able to
get away. You put up quite a struggle. So, I'm sorry.
Here!" Elizabeth said and handed her something that
seemed to be an ice pack.
"Uh....Thanks." Lisa said and put the package on her
aching head. Although she had her misgivings, she
couldn't explain why but she was beginning to trust
Elizabeth.
