It's been a while since I updated the story. Also, the next is probably the last chapter.
Chapter 13 – Found Love In a Hopeless Place
The explosion proved to be a mighty earthquake that shattered the whole cafeteria. Miles immediately ducked down to the ground and covered his head with his hands, madly wishing not to get hurt. Pieces of the ceiling crushed violently into the floor, shards of indistinctive objects flew all over the place and a fire began to scorch its way through everything malleable. However, Miles remained basically undamaged. He could not tell what kept him from harm's way until he peeked through his hands.
The black swarm that constituted the Walrider stood beside him, perseveringly tossing the flying debris away and occasionally checking on Miles' status. When the suffocating smoke polluting the air reached their position, the Walrider gently pushed him out of the zone of danger, to the pile of wreckage that was once the exit of the cafeteria, since Miles was standing in stupor. Then the buzzing black cloud - Or is it rather a person? It has certainly shifted into a form of a man, Miles wondered – returned to the ash-stricken ruins of the cafeteria, melting into the generally dark background. Miles concluded that he was free to go – he craved to leave the area and he still had to come to Waylon's rescue. But what made the Walrider his ally?
Outside the cafeteria he heard (as he could not see through the thick smoke) people roaming the hallway, shouting for help. He hurdled over the heavily obstructed threshold of the cafeteria. Now he just had to look for a quiet place to figure out what to do next…
"YOU! YOU RUINED THE WEDDING CAKE!" Gluskin's sudden appearance startled Miles and had him dart for an exit. The robust gentleman hardly moved a muscle in his direction, though, when the Walrider stepped out of the cafeteria, holding the fatigued body of Wernicke in his arms. It assessed the situation instantly and placed the old man on the ground to throw itself right on Gluskin, knocking him to the wall. Gluskin let out a surprised gasp and they engaged in a mad battle. Miles could not help but turn back watch the fight. He has not seen such a ferocious brawl before, and he has been to a lot of weddings.
Unfortunately, he let his guard down for a second, but he was reminded of it when a blow sent him to the edge of a table. He could not tell who the perpetrator was. His pained groan alarmed the Walrider, who spun around and sailed to him, affectionately chirping something. Gluskin also chirped something affectionately, except that he was shouting and it was not affectionate. "Come here you…", but his chin dropped when he recognised the one who attacked Miles. Wernicke seemed to be utterly flabbergasted by something completely different and grovelled nearer to the turmoil, only looking at Miles and the Walrider crouching by the videographer.
Then, Gluskin and Wernicke started to speak at the same moment.
"Oh my god, you have become the Walrider's…" "Darling?! What are you doing?"
