Well everyone, here come chapter 7, with some small corrections. :)


Chapter 7 – The warehouse

Centrum –Haven City –Year 2106

There were people everywhere. Fairies fought against fairies, something like that, had never happened before. Of course there'd been some conflicts and smaller fights through the history, but never decidedly a war, like this.

Holly and her group had to move as unseen as possible – this, you see, can be a little hard, when you're together with a human, who is taller than everybody else; Artemis had grown pretty much. But they made it anyway without being seen, only moving through narrow, deserted alleys. However, their hiding-tactics didn't make it possible for them to see much of the fight, so it came as a surprise, when Foaly gave Holly the last news from the battle in her helmet's microphone.

"Holly, can you hear me?"

"Yes Foaly, I hear you very clearly. What's up?"

"I've just got the latest report, from one of the officers. Captain Ace I think. He says that the attackers seem to be mesmerized. That can mean three tings…"

"Yeah," Holly interrupted him. "One: That Richter is getting help from one or even worse: several fairies, two: That Richter himself is able to do the mesmer, or three: That Richter has discovered some new way to mesmerize people."

"Exactly."

"Do you have more?"

"No, not right now. I'll contact you, as soon as I know more. Where are you?"

"We're almost at the warehouse now. I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah. Good luck Commander."

"Thanks."

Holly told the others what Foaly had said.

"So the fairies don't fight by their own free will?" Artemis said.

"No, and that is probably the most comforting thought, we can find right now," Holly answered him. "Are you all ready to go inside?" The others nodded.

The old warehouse, with the worn sign, saying: T. Imekiller's best, was right in front of them now. It looked very scary, with the damaged paint, that might have been red once, and the broken windows.

"I remember this place," Holly whispered. "The factory and the warehouse were closed down a year ago, because of the nature damaging way of production. The firm that owned it made videogames, I think."

No one said anything. They just looked at the building, and they knew that they were going in there in a moment.

"Good luck," Captain Short said.

Major Kelp nodded. "Yeah, we're all gonna need it. Let's hope that we'll have enough of it, to get out here again afterwards. Together."

And Commander Short added: "All of us."

"Alive," Artemis said.

They looked at each other. "Let's go," Holly said and drew her gun. The others did the same, and then they entered the warehouse.


T. Imekiller's best's old warehouse –Haven City –Year 2106

Everything was quiet in there. There were no humans, no fairies, no alarms and no security cameras.

Holly got suspicious. This was very suspicious. If Richter had been here, there had to be something. But there was nothing. Only dust and old boxes. But then she saw it.

"I don't know if he's still here," she told the others in her helmet microphone. "But there has been someone. Look at the floor."

They all knew what she was talking about. The floor was clean. There was no dust at all. Someone had cleaned it, and it couldn't have been long time ago.

'Oh no', Holly thought. 'What if…?' She didn't even get to finish the thought, before they were surrounded by evidently mesmerized fairies. About twenty guns were pointed at them.

"Move close together, and stand in a circle. Shoulder by shoulder," Holly whispered into the microphone, even though she knew the enemies couldn't hear her, when she was wearing the soundproof LEP-helmet. They all did what she said; after a moment, they were standing in a circle, with their faces and guns pointed at the enemies around them.

Suddenly, Dominic Richter entered the warehouse.

"Aha," he said. "Commander Short has come to see me. And she has brought some friends. How… pleasant."

Holly stared at him. Her brown eyes were full of anger and hatred. She turned on the helmet's loudspeakers: "You'll never get away with this Richter. My officers won't give up!" She hissed.

Richter just ignored her, and kept talking. "It surprises me to see, that you have a human with you, but what surprises me even more is, that there're two of some of you. How…?"

No one said anything.

"Hm, it doesn't matter anyway." Richter looked directly into Holly's round, brown eyes. "I'm sorry, but I have to leave you now. My guards will take care of you." He turned his eyes to his mesmerized slaves. "Kill them," he said, and left.

The first laser beam flew directly over Holly's head. She could feel it graze the top of her helmet.

"Split up!" She screamed. And then everything turned into chaos.


Wooow, exiting.. :) Just feel free to keep on reading.. And please review, that makes me so happy.. :)

And as earlier mentioned, I'm a perfectionist, so if you fine some particular spelling or grammar mistakes, please let me know, and I'll be glad to take care of it.. :)

I think my grammar and spelling have improved a lot, though.. :)

Oh, and I'm sorry that his chapter is so short, but I had to stop it here to make a cliff-hanger.. XD
