My Note: Here's the next chapter.
Safe and SoundChaud burst through the front doors. "Linh, where are you!" Chaud yelled out. Just then, Linh ran from out of nowhere towards him. She got behind him and was seem to be hiding. She was looking straight ahead.
"Linh, what's wrong?" Chaud asked.
"That," Linh said, sounding very scared. She was pointing at something ahead. Chaud's eyes followed to where Linh was pointing. Someone or something was coming out from the dark. Before Chaud could say a word, Dark Protoman appeared.
"Oh, hello Chaud. It's nice of you to stop by in," Dark Protoman grinned evilly.
"Stay back," Chaud said to Linh. He was raising his right arm to protect and keep her back. Linh looked at Chaud from behind. He's being so nice, she thought silently.
"Look Chaud, you may try to protect your little girlfriend, but I must warn you that once you dropped in, no one leaves but me!" Dark Protoman exclaimed. He raised his sword and was heading toward Chaud.
"Linh, run and hide. I'll distract him," Chaud said quietly, enough for only he and Linh could hear.
"But--," Linh began to protest.
"Just go!" Chaud said strongly.
Linh looked into Chaud's eyes. She felt the intense growing. Linh took off, not looking back. She ran and ran, not knowing where to go. She knew she can't get out of the building, but at least she can run around and hide somewhere in the building from Dark Protoman.
"Come on, Dark Protoman. Now it's between you and me," Chaud said.
Dark Protoman wasn't interested. "I'll save you for last," he said in disgust. He had seen where Linh had ran and was going to follow her. He walked briskly, following Linh's trace.
"Oh, no!" Chaud cried.
Linh was running out of control. She could hear Dark Protoman's footsteps getting closer and closer.
"I need help!" Linh exclaimed.
Chaud heard Linh. "You got it," he said, as he pushed some buttons.
Fog began to form behind Linh as she ran. She was getting very tired. I have to stop. I need to have a minute to get some air, Linh thought. She was running slower and slower. Finally, she found a door and barged in. She shut the door and locked it.
Chaud was getting worried. "I've got to save her," he said, clenching his fists. But how?
Linh sat down in the corner. She was breathing heavy. When she heard Dark Protoman got closer to the door, she started to breathe more quietly. Standing up slowly, Linh accidently knocked down a heavy box. Dark Protoman's footsteps stopped.
"I think I found you, my little victim," Dark Protoman's head turned to face the door.
Linh was shivering all over. Suddenly, someone grabbed her by the waist with one arm and had clasped a hand over her mouth and pulled her in a hidden door.
Dark Protoman knocked down the door and looked inside. Nothing. "You may escaped this time but I assure you that you won't the next we meet," he said angrily. He logged out.
Linh was in the dark. Whoever that pulled her in was still here. Linh was about to panick, when she heard the dimensional area breaking away. The sunlight began to shine in from the window. Linh realized that she was taken to the next room. She turned her head and found Chaud letting her go.
"Oh my gosh! Chaud, you saved me!" Linh squealed.
Chaud blushed. "It was no problem at all," he said nervously.
Linh giggled. "For a moment there, I thought someone kidnapped me," she said.
"Uh…yeah…," Chaud said uneasily.
"So do you mind walking me home?" Linh asked, still giggling.
"Uh, sure," Chaud answered, kind of laughing too. "I can take you home in a limo, if you want."
"Ok, whatever you say," Linh said sweetly. She felt herself blushing, but did a good job hiding it. Chaud, on the other hand, was not doing a very good job for hiding his blushing.
"Let's get out of here," Linh said, standing up. She gave Chaud a hand and he took it. After he'd got up, Linh pulled her hand back quickly. "Um, I get shy easily," she said in a jiffy.
Chaud smiled understandingly.Wow she's being very nice now, he thought. "So let's go now," he said.
"I'm right behind you," Linh replied.
So do you like it? Well, school's almost starting so I won't be able to update more chapters quickly, but don't worry! I'll be still writing so keep checking whenever you have time.
