Chapter 1

One by one, four boys slowly exited different rooms into a dark and dingy stone hallway. First came a short navy haired boy dragging a bag as large as himself along the floor. He turned to see his neighbour exit from his room, too. Unlike the first boy, this boy was tall, blonde and well built. Throwing his own bag over his shoulder, he plucked the smaller boy's bag and moved it aside to allow the boy to close his door. A third boy exited from a room beside the blonde's. The grey haired boy flung his bag to the other side of the hallway before closing his door and leaning against the wall. Last to arrive was the red head. Calmly, he exited the room with a bag over his shoulder and glanced at the others.

"Done?" The others nodded. The boys silently walked down the hallway with the red head leading the way, when suddenly the red head stopped. The others looked around, to see what might be the matter. Spotting a open door, they frowned.

The grey haired boy narrowed his eyes at the door before grabbing the sleeve of the red head's jacket and walking, "Let's go, Tala." Tala didn't move.

"Bryan... we... can't just..."

"Yes we can. Let's go," said Bryan, tugging on Tala's sleeve.

"He's right. There's no point in it," said the blond.

"He won't come back, here, Spencer. And his stuff's still here. We could—"

"He's a rich ass. He won't mind losing a few little things," said the navy haired boy, rolling his eyes.

"How do you know, Ian?"

"He's a stuck-up, arrogant traitor. He wouldn't care about anything. Not some little trinkets, not this place for sure, not us," stated Bryan.

"Hn. That's for sure," agreed Spencer, "but if it's really that important to you, Tala..."

"Spencer! Who's side are you on?!" exclaimed Bryan.

"I'm with Spencer," said Ian.

"You too?" exclaimed Bryan.

"Not quite..."

"What are you talking about? You either are or aren't."

Ian smirked, before saying, "Let's raid the place." The others were taken aback, before Bryan and Spencer smirked. "Finders Keepers!" cried Ian before dashing inside the room. The others soon followed.

The room was small and dark. A single bed lay in the corner with dust and cobwebs covering the rough and dull sheets. In the opposite corner, lay a small simple dresser, furnished with a broken mirror. Ian, Spencer and Bryan soon got to work, spreading out into various parts of the room and searching for any hidden treasures. Tala stood in the doorway, watching them for a few moments before joining them. He didn't want to leave empty handed, and he might recover something important. Walking along the walls, he hoped to find something, but with no success.

"Darn it! There's nothing, here!" whined Ian as he came out from under the dusty bed.

"Nothing here, either," said Spencer replacing the mattress on the bed.

"Or here," said Bryan disappointed, as he closed the last drawer on the dresser.

"He's cleaned out everything."

While the others were squabbling, Tala slowly continued his way along the walls, when suddenly something shifted under his foot. Bending down, he removed the rock without much difficulty, revealing a hole lined with wood. He reached down and pulled something out of the hole. It was a notebook with a pencil clipped to it. Flipping through it, he saw the messy writing of a 7 year old and a few drawings. In the dark, he couldn't make sense of the writing. He slipped the notebook into his bag before reaching inside the hole and pulling more items out: a toy of some sort and something soft. Upon inspection, Tala was interrupted by Ian.

"Look! Tala's found something!" Quickly stuffing the items in his bag, he turned around.

"What'd you find?" asked Ian excitedly.

"N...nothing," replied Tala, "just a hole."

"Is there anything in it?" asked Spencer. Bryan made his way to the hole, shoved his hand in and felt around.

"Nothing, surprise, surprise. Wait. I feel something," pulling out his hand, he revealed a necklace in his hand.

"Haha... look, he's into jewellery!" smirked Bryan. The others chuckled.

"What's on it?" asked Spencer.

"Dunno... it's too hard to tell in the dark. Let's go. We've looked everywhere, already." The boys left the room. Tala stopped at the doorway and looked back into the room. Looking around, he sighed before closing the door.

"Kai..."

Should I continue?  Do you want to know what Tala's found?  Do you care?

Any sort of feedback welcome! Just push that little button down there... nope... that's not a button... that purple one that says "Go".  Yup!  There you go...
