Lars??
Leif guided Reggie and Lars through the temple. Luckily, they weren't detected. But after an hour-it seemed too weird.
"This seems fishy..." Mumbled Reggie as she kept her back to the cold, stonewall.
"I don't smell anything." Pointed out Twister.
Reggie shook her head. "I mean, this seems weird. You'd think we'd at least see someone by now."
Leif looked around in concern. "You're right. Just keep your eyes peeled."
"Why are we listening to a five year old again?" Asked Twister who had just seemed to realize that they had been following Leif. Reggie smiled.
"Because he seems to know where he's going."
"Ohhh yea."
Suddenly, they heard voices. All three froze, their hearts pounding. But then they realized that the voices weren't coming closer.
"Lets go check it out." Reggie whispered before she crawled toward the voices. Leif gulped. He didn't like where this was going. But before he knew it, he was following Reggie and Twister. Soon they came to a small dining room. There they saw a man in armor talking to another man.
"What are they saying?" Hissed Twister.
"I don't know, I'm not close enough." Mumbled Reggie.
Leif looked around worriedly. He seemed very uncomfortable.
"Come on, let's just go before we get caught!"
"But we haven't found my brother..."
"I mean lets leave this spot."
Reggie leaned forward. "Hold on-I can almost make out...Woa!!"
Without a warning, Reggie fell over into the room. Leif's eyes widened in horror as Twister gulped.
"Uh oh..." Gulped Reggie as the two men looked down at her. They frowned.
"How'd a pretty thing like you get in here?" The man in armor asked.
Reggie blushed. "I...I...I have no idea."
Leif smacked his forehead. "She's starting to sound like you." He told Twister. Twister looked at him.
"Yea! Wait...hey!"
Leif grinned before he turned serious. "Ok Twister, we have to get your friend out of there and split before..."
"Hey! What are you two doing?" Came a deep voice.
Leif sighed. "We get caught..."
Twister waved. "Hi!"
The man picked both Twister and Leif up by their collars. Then he stomped into the room where Reggie had fallen.
"Hey John, look what I found eavesdropping at your door." The man snapped as he threw Twister and Leif down onto the cold floor. Reggie saw the two and crawled over to them. Twister and Leif gripped her shirt, hoping she'd protect them. The man called John sneered.
"More guests, huh?"
The other man snickered. "We could use some targets for our master's training!"
The three gulped.
"That wouldn't happen to mean food testers would it?" Asked Twister hopefully.
Reggie shook her head. "I doubt that's what they mean Twist. I don't think that's what they mean at all..."
John looked down at Reggie suspiciously before he looked at Twister.
"You, in the hat."
Twister looked around before he pointed to himself. "Me?"
"Yes you! What's your name?"
"Uh Twister?"
"What kind of a name is that?!"
"It's a nickname..."
"Then what is your real name, you fool!!"
"Maurice?"
John eyed him for a moment before he looked at Leif. When his gaze landed on Leif his eyes widened.
"And what is YOUR name, shorty?"
"Hey! I'm not short! And my name is Leif to you."
"You look a lot like him...and so do you..." He mumbled as he looked from Leif to Twister. Reggie gasped. But Leif and Twister seemed dumbfounded.
"Who do they look like?!" Demanded Reggie as she stood up.
John glared at Reggie. "And what are you? His girlfriend?"
"What?" Asked Reggie, very confused.
"Well if you are, then no longer is he."
"What are you talking about???!" Snapped Reggie who was about to lose her mind. But John just walked up to her.
"I know why you three are here."
The three shared a look before they all frowned.
"You're here to save your friend aren't you?"
Reggie raised an eyebrow. "Who Lars? He isn't our friend! We just came to get him!"
The man once again eyed her. Then he smirked. "He is no longer known as Lars Rodriquez."
Reggie felt her heart begin to pound in fear. Her hands began to shake. Where was Lars? What did they do to him? WHY did she CARE? Suddenly she felt a hand slip into hers. She looked down in shock. Leif was looking up at her in fear. She gripped his hand in reassurance.
"You know-" Came John's voice, breaking her out of her musings. "I think I'll let you see him one last time before you die."
The three looked up at John. They were all so confused.
"Harry, take them to the ball room."
"Yes sir." Came Harry's rough voice. With that he grabbed Reggie and Twister's collars while he carried Leif under his arm.
"PUT ME DOWN!" Shouted Reggie as she tried to struggle out of Harry's grip.
"Yea---my shoe's untied!" Whined Twister.
"Be quiet fools. We are almost to your destination."
"I take that as a bad thing." Mumbled Twister as he tried to reach his shoe so he could tie it. Before they knew it, Harry threw them all down onto a wooden floor. He laughed menacingly.
"Enjoy!" He laughed loudly before he slammed the door shut.
Leif looked around worriedly before he hugged Twister. "I'm scared..."
"Me too...I forget how to tie!"
Reggie gripped Twister's hand, helping him up. Then she looked around, afraid of what she would find. Suddenly the back door swung open, letting in a draft of cold wind. Twister and Reggie looked over, ready to see their fate. But what they saw caused their jaws to drop in shock. There, a few feet from them, was a boy with brown hair and coal-black eyes.
"LARS?!" Cried Twister in shock.
Reggie began to feel her heart ache as she saw the evil looking boy. Before he had looked menacing-but always in a cute, teasing way. Now...he looked so evil...so hating. Without warning, Reggie felt tears stinging the back of her eyes-the back of her heart.
"What did you do to him?!!!" She shouted, her voice choking to block the fact that she was heartbroken.
"Nothing," Came John's menacing voice from nowhere. "He's all there."
The doors swung shut behind Lars. He looked up and smirked.
"Prepare to die..."
Leif guided Reggie and Lars through the temple. Luckily, they weren't detected. But after an hour-it seemed too weird.
"This seems fishy..." Mumbled Reggie as she kept her back to the cold, stonewall.
