Ch. 4: Captured

Brooklyn woke up to the sound of the falling rain hitting the closed window. He groaned and looked at the clock beside the bed. 6:30. Too early for him. He fell back on the bed, and tried to get back to sleep. That was discarded as Tala rolled over and elbowed him in the face.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" Tala asked shocked out of his sleep

"I'll live. God, you had to hit the nose!" Brooklyn replied

Tala just chuckled and hopped out of the bed. He looked at the calender.

"Yes! It's saterday!"

"And we're up at 6:30."

"It's what time?" Tala exlaimed

"6:30." Brooklyn replied

"Wow. I've never woken up that early."

"Neither have I."

Tala smiled, "Lazy oaf."

"Hey!"

"I didn't mean it. Can't you take a joke?"

"When you've been teased and ridiculed all your life it's kinda hard to tell who's joking."

"You were teased all your life? By who?" Tala asked

"Everyone." Brooklyn replied

Tala frowned, but quickly replaced it with a smile. He ruffled up Brooklyn's hair playfully.

"I'll try not to tease you much, okay?"

"Okay."

He smiled his million dollar smile.

"Hey? You want to have some fun?" Tala asked

"Sure" Brooklyn replied

Tala turned on his stero and popped in a CD. He pluged in a microphone and began to yell as load as he could into it.

"Kareoki time at room 77! Anyone who want's to try is welcomed!"

Many shut up's and cheers could be heard from all around the school. Soon almost all the boys were piled into the room. First one up was the raven haired kid Brooklyn had met on his first day of school. His name, he learned later, was Ray. He was singing to the song 'The Ex' by Billy Talent. All the boys in the room were up dancing. Brooklyn was having the most fun he had had in a long time.

"Well, Tala sure knows how to get a party started!"

"That's for sure!"

"Ray's pretty good at singing too."

"Hey! That's the first time you haven't told us to shut up!"

"It's a miricle!"

Brooklyn just rolled his eyes and continued to dance. He wasn't gonna let those two jerks ruin his fun. Ray's song ended, and he handed the mike back to Tala.

"Alright! Who's next?" He called

All the boys tried grabbing the mike away from Tala, but he chose to give it to a guy called Brien. He sang to the song called 'American Roullett'. (Don't remember who sings it. XD. I'm pathetic.)

Suddenly all the music stopped. Mr.Dickonson had just come in.

"What is the meaning of this?" He screeched "You know you're not suppose to be partying... at least you could have invited me!"

The music started up again. It seems Mr. Dickonson had a wild side to him. Brien finished up and the mike was again passed to Tala.

"Okay, would anyone better like to try?" Tala joked

All the boys again tried to grab the mike, but they all stopped and parted as Hiro began to push his way through. Tala's face lost its smile as he handed the mike to him and quickly stepped down from the stage. He pushed his way over to Brooklyn.

"I think we should get out of here. Things can get a little hectic when Hiro shows up."

"Tell us something we don't know."

"Shhhh..."

Brooklyn just nodded and followed Tala out of the room. Neither of them noticed Hiro's goons in the hallway, until they had grabbed them and were holding them down.

"Argh! Let us go!" Tala hissed

Both of the two boys faught against their hold until Tala got whacked on the back and fell limp.

"If you don't stop squirming we'll do the same to you!" threatened the bald one

Brooklyn glared up at all of them venomously, but stopped trying to break free.

"You know, he's kinda cute when he's angry." Mused the blonde

The green haired boy held Brooklyn's chin and forced him to look up at him. Brooklyn's glare harddened when he smiled.

"I have to agree with you on that, Mystel."

"I know we're suppose to save him for Hiro, but could we have some fun with him too, Garland?"

"Alright Crusher, if you're not afraid of Hiro killing you, go ahead." Said Garland

Crusher flipped Brooklyn on to his back and began to kiss down his neck. Brooklyn gasped and began to try and push him off.

"Great! Another guy who likes us!"

"When will this nightmare end?"

Suddenly Crusher was pulled off of him and thrown over the railing.Hiro had come back and was not too pleased about what had happened.

"I thought I told you to keep your hands off!" He yelled down at Crusher

"but...but I...I can explain!" Crusher begged

"I don't want to hear any of your lies! Now get, before I come down there and beat you to a pulp!"

Crusher took off running to his room. Hiro then turned and began to take his anger out on the others.

"And why didn't any of you stop him?" His question was more or less directed at Garland

"We knew you would handle it better than us." Mystel lied

"Right... just bring him to the room. Leave his friend in one of the closets."

It was easy to tell Hiro didn't believe him, but he let it slip. Brooklyn started to struggle again as he was dragged around a corner, out of view from anyone who could help him.
