Chapter Nine Love makes People Go Crazy
The man's breath breathed warm against her neck. "Finally someone to replace Aelita." The raspy voice said again. Kayla squeaked into the dirty hand.
"Honestly Franz she's thirteen you know we need someone older who can stand the pressure of the new world." A feminine voice came from the shadows.
"Aelita did just fine" The man known as Franz spat back.
"The same Aelita who disappeared after fourteen years?" The woman said again coming out of the shadows. Dark pink hair barely reached her shoulders. Green eyes glared at Franz.
"She was our daughter don't talk about her like that" Franz said hurt. Kayla's eyes darted around hastily. She bit into Franz's hand then ran spitting the horrid taste out of her mouth. "KANKROLOTS!" Franz shouted. Several kankrolats scuttled after Kayla shooting lasers but missing.
Megan pointed to the skateboards. "She didn't take a skateboard or a scooter. She's probably still in the sewers." Megan paused. The sound of lasers pierced the air.
"HHEEEELLLPPP MEEEEEEEE" Kayla's voice drifted into the room. Megan snatched a baton off her back.
"I told her it'd be useful someday." Megan ran towards the sound.
Kayla screamed and a second later Megan ran past her and sunk the baton into the 1st kankrolat. Then she tossed a plastic fork with the middle prongs missing to Kayla. "Told you they'd be useful someday!" Megan grinned. After they destroyed the kankrolats Megan turned and…
Hit Kayla on the head repetitively saying between hits. "WHY-DID-YOU-DO-THAT-I-WAS-SO-WORRIED!" Kayla grabbed the baton with her left hand and rubbed her head with the right.
"You got your point through." She said.
The two girls laughed and embraced each other in a friendly hug. When they sat back up Megan whapped Kayla again with the baton. "Don't EVER do that again!" Kayla wrinkled her nose while rubbing her head.
Megan explained what happened to Kayla who looked happy despite the prospect that she was almost kidnapped. "Odd loves-"
"Yes Odd loves you" Megan rapped Kayla's head with her knuckles. "Of course he does! He only asked me because he thought I was you! I only said yes because I didn't have anyone to go with and I couldn't get in if I didn't have a date!" Kayla blushed a bit.
"I'm sorry" She said quietly.
"Well you better get your ass back to Odd and say that to him he's been depressed ever since you said that?"
"It's only been an hour!"
"Love makes people go crazy" Megan said playfully pinching Kayla's cheek.
