The Horrible Truth

Chapter 3: Vase Confessions

Nova's pink eyes fluttered open. She looked around trying to get her bearings. The walls were an ugly green in colour with formless goo running down them. Nova knew exactly where she was: The Citadel of Bone.

Looking closer Nova realised there were no cell walls surrounding were she sat, she was uncontained. She got up and walked towards the door. When she was close enough to touch it the wall changed. It screwed up and a new pattern painted itself onto it. Jumping in surprise Nova fell on a piece of bone. She lay on the floor looking at the ceiling.

The door was looking down at her, from the ceiling? That's it! The door changes its location if I get to close! Nova looked around for any mean of an escape plan.

"Hey guys anyone seen Nova?" said Sparx walking into the main room.

"Not since the fight" said Otto busy working on something.

"Why were you looking for her?" said Antauri opening one of his eyes to look at Sparx.

"Well I really wanted to say thanks and sorry about the arguemen…." Sparx trailed of remembering the rest of the team didn't know about their tiff.

"Sparx, fighting with your team members is not wise, it can lead to problems" Antauri said in a wise-old-man style.

"Yeah I know…."said Sparx hanging his head.

"Good news team…." Gibson was walking into the main room.

"Sparx you know the vase you threw…." Antauri was cut off.

"Hey! That wasn't me! It was Nova!...but how did you know she threw the vase?" Antauri's Emerald green eyes shifted o the floor where several pieces of china lay.

"Now who else would throw things?" Antauri gave a small smile.

"As I was saying team…..why is there pieces of china on the floor?" Gibson said getting distracted.

"Dunno, but it wasn't me and Nova and it isn't your favourite vase!" Sparx said putting on an innocent face.

"And they call me a dumb monkey." Said Otto smirking.

Gibson glared at Sparx; if stares could kill Sparx would be in trouble.

"Sparx would you care to repeat that sentence." Gibson said slowly

"It wasn't me and Nova and it isn't your vase…..oh" he said realizing he'd said too much.

"SPARX-77 get back here!" Gibson yelled as Sparx made a mad sprint for the exit out of the robot.

He would continue his search for Nova outside for now.
