The Lord of Middleton:

The Twin Towers

Chapter 3: I'm Fine Until Now

Ron was relieved by Wally for watch duty. And Ron joined Kim in his tent and snuggled with her in the sleeping bag. Wally began to take notice of the blossoming love between the two, happy to see it happening for them.

Wally's thoughts drifted away from that, then he started to think of the so called Ruby of Middleton. His thoughts could not get off of the matter. A voice was heard by him."Wally, Prince Wally. the necklace belongs to you." Wally was confused by the new voice, looking around the colorful room, he heard it again. "Its yours for the taking Wally." he again shrugged off the voice and resumed his guard duties.

"Wally." a hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned around, he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Daddy?" he asked in a daze, as he saw his father looking right at him.

"Wally, our kingdom, it needs that necklace!" the king beckoned at him, with a sort of evil tone to his voice.

"But dad, why?" Wally asked confused.

"Why destroy it? When we can have the ultimate power? Our kingdom will become a new world power! Think of the possibilities Wally!"

Wally thought for a moment, indeed the necklace was powerful, and he did want to control the most powerful nation. "Think about it Wally, think long and hard." The King said as we walked away, out the door. Wally was seriously confused. He looked into Kim and Ron's tent and saw the necklace. "There it is" he thought to himself "Its all mine". Ron suddenly shifted around and started to wake up so Wally went back out to guard.

Ron came out of the tent and stretched. "What's up Wally? See anything?"

"No, not really Ron." Wally said, doing his best not to sound suspicious. In about fifteen minutes, everyone was up and moving once again. Kim put on her necklace as they reached a dead end, and a flight of stairs appeared. Wally eyed the necklace as she put it on, obsessed with it.wanting it.

After walking up the stairs, which seemed like forever. (they actually had walked up at least 30 stories) They suddenly met about 6 henchmen on that floor where the staircase ended. They fought, disposing of them easily, but through the whole fight, Wally's mind was on the necklace.

As soon as the fight ended, Kim's necklace snapped, as the broken necklace fell to the floor, Wally jumped for it, he caught it right before it hit the ground.

"It's mine! IT'S ALL MINE!!!!!" he yelled as he held it up.

"Calm down Wally!" Ron said as he tried to take it from him, but failed as Wally pushed him away. The King again emerged from the shadows.

"Daddy! I've got it! Now we can rule forever!" The King smiled and laughed.

"YOU FOOL!!!" he yelled as the fellowship stepped back away from him, "THANK YOU FOR DELIVERING THE RING TO US!!!!" he yelled as the costume on the figure melted away.
