Reo: Greetings friends…
Kim: …and those of you who aren't quite friends!
Reo: Welcome to Chapter 4!
(Eliza enters the room)
Reo: Lizie! What a pleasant surprise! What are you doing here?
Eliza: I told you not to call me Lizie!
Kim: Lizie Bess Kinchington! Lizie Bess Kinchington!
Eliza: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
Reo: Quiet Kim. Listen Lizie… I don't think there's enough room for all of us…
Eliza: So? Just toss someone out!
(Reo looks over at Jason and Daniel who are both playing 'Need for Speed' on her Xbox)
Reo: Well… I can't toss them out. They're my creations! They have nowhere else to go!
Eliza: Fine… I nominate Kimmy…
Kim: What?
Eliza: No offence Kim… but you're not really necessary. For starters, you don't even know what this show's about…
Kim: Yes I do! I've heard Reo discuss it on several occasions!
Eliza: Fine. Name one character.
Kim: Um… well… there's the rabbit… and the red haired kid…
Eliza: I rest my case.
Reo: Fine. Kim… I think you'll have to leave for this one…
Kim: NO!
Eliza: Come on Kim! You're hogging all the room!
Kim: Yeah? Well… you're hogging all the ugly!
Reo: Just go Kim…
(Kim leaves the room. The door slams.)
Reo: I wish Kimmy didn't have to leave… if Daniel had somewhere else to go I'd kick him onto the streets…
Daniel: (Calls out) What was that?
Reo: Nothing…
Well thanks for reviewing peoples! I enjoy reading them so much! You don't know how depressing it was to find that over five people have the same title as me… Ohh well! You've all made my day!
Chapter 4- An Escape
(Daisuke's POV)
I didn't stop running. I wanted to get out of here. The hallway seemed endless, but I wanted it to end. Krad was intimidating normally, but now he was no longer in Satoshi's body. It was if the two of them had separated. Perhaps the same thing had happened to me and Dark. Maybe that's why he hadn't responded…
The hallway finally came to an end. It opened into a large hall filled with long tables which filled the room. As I entered I stopped, only to look back and see that both Satoshi and Krad were chasing after me. The last thing I needed was for Krad to catch me.
I viewed the room. There were only two possible exits out of the hall. They were hallways on the left and right sides of the hall. But going down another hallway wouldn't take me out of this place. I would have to find another way…
The windows. It was the only other option. Straight ahead lay a row of large glass windows. All of them were closed, but I had to take a chance. As I heard footsteps grow louder from the hallway behind me I decided to make a move again. I ran straight ahead, almost forgetting that there were about three long tables ahead of me. I jumped over each one like they were hurdles, but I accidentally caught my foot on a chair lying under the last table. I fell to the ground, but got up quickly. There was no time to waste.
I turned around to see that Satoshi and Krad had almost made it to the end of the hallway. I moved to the closest window, eyeing the edge to see if there was a way to open it. I ran my fingers along the edges too, just to make sure…There was none. If I was to escape I couldn't do it by opening a window. But, unfortunately the window seemed to be my only option now. The two parallel hallways were blocked by men and the one in front had Krad and Satoshi blocking it.
"What on earth are you doing!" Krad demanded. I went back to the window, trying to push against the glass, hoping that by some miracle it would break.
"He's trying to jump!" screamed one of the men. "Someone stop him!" I wish I could have jumped, but the stupid window wouldn't open. They didn't understand. I didn't want to commit suicide. I just wanted to escape. As I gave the glass another shove I saw Krad jump over the first table.
"Hurry up!" I muttered, banging a fist against it. "Just break!"
It was as if the glass obeyed my word. The second I had uttered the words the glass shook and shattered, leaving an opening for me to climb out. As I looked out I saw a ledge right underneath the window frame. I looked back and noticed Krad had just finished jumping over the final table, and was advancing towards me.
"Come here!" he said in a tone that was nowhere near pleasant. He's hand was moving forward, and he attempted to grab me. I quickly moved my right leg over the frame onto the ledge outside. As I did Krad's arm caught the sleeve of my golden robe.
"Let go!" I screamed. I don't know why I did, since it was clear Krad wouldn't be letting me go. I tried to lift my other leg over the window and onto the ledge, with Krad still trying to pull me back. As I looked over Krad's shoulder I saw a blank eyed Satoshi staring at me. He didn't look like he wanted to hurt me, but I got the impression he knew what was going on. Why I was here, in this weird… castle. Wearing weird clothes and waking up in a weird room. I wanted to trust him, but with Krad haling me back in I was worried. I pulled myself further away from him and my sleeve tore. Then I lost my balance.
There was a horrible sensation of falling backwards. My feet left the ledge and suddenly I felt weightless. The falling sensation only lasted a few seconds… then everything went black…
(Satoshi's POV)
I watched in horror as the sleeve tore and he disappeared from view. I ran to the window ledge, over the tables, and looked through the empty frame. A small flicker of gold caught my eye and landed on the ground stories below. I continued to stare, not believing what I had just seen. Even as the other men rushed to the window, pushing their way past, I continued to stare in silence. After they had seen what had just happened, they too just stared wordlessly.
"You killed him…" I muttered.
"Quiet down. It was an accident, I didn't-"
"Yes you did!" I shouted. I turned around and pushed my way though the men who were all clambering to the window. I ran down the hallway which seemed like an eternity. Even as I went down the stairs the question had gone through my head…
What on earth was he trying to do?
I ran passed the people at the bottom of the stairs, all looking up, looking concerned. I heard one of them ask what was going on, but I had no time to respond.
"Out of my way!" I shouted, and they moved aside to leave room. As I went outside there was a small group bunched. All were looking down. "No…" I walked up and they moved apart slowly, leaving me to look. I knelt down next to him and noticed there was no blood. The only sign of red was from his tattered hair. I placed my ear onto his chest I listened. Unbelievable… I could hear a heart beat…
"He's alive," I told the crowd calmly.
Eliza: You tried to kill him off didn't you?
Reo: No I didn't… you always take stuff literally.
Eliza: I'm sure when Daniel and Jase come back they'll agree with me. I know you always try to kill characters off.
Reo: Whatever you say…
(Kit enters the room.)
Reo: What are you doing in here?
Kit: Kim told me there was a convention on in here.
Eliza: Kim?
Reo: Where is she?
Kit: She's outside. She told me there was an annual git convention, or something along those lines…
Eliza: She must be pretty pissed…
Reo: Is she alright?
Kit: Well… she's busking for money at the moment.
Reo and Eliza: Busking?
Kit: Yeah… it's not working to well though… she's been doing Irish dancing-
Reo: OH GOD! NO!
Kit: Yeah… well… obviously she's starving at the moment isn't she…
(Reo runs out of the room.)
Eliza: What? Don't leave me in here with him! Wait for me!
(Eliza runs out of the room.)
Kit: Those two can be too cruel sometimes…
Thanks for reading! I know my story may seem a bit confusing at the moment, but I think you'll understand it a bit better later on. (It will all make sense in time.) CYA LATER!
