Chapter Fourteen
"Who is this guy?" Dark asked the girls. "And why did you bring him here?"
"Well," Taranee said, "he seems to be a friend."
"I know what he 'seems' to be now," he said in an annoyed voice, "but who was he?"
"His name is Phobos," Hay Lin said, "He was once the evil ruler of Metamoor."
Phobos began to regain consciousness. "Where am I?" he asked groggily. He looked around. "Who are you?" He pointed at Dark, East and North.
North cleared her throat. "I'm North Side," she said slowly, "This is my daughter, East Side." She pointed at the girl who was peering down at him with big, curious eyes.
"Hi," East said shyly. Phobos smiled and waved his hand at her.
"So," he said, clearing his throat, "that explains you two. But then who's the big guy?" He pointed at Dark again.
"I'm Dark Flyer," He responded.
"Hello, Scales," Phobos said, giving her a weak smile, "I'm sorry about your husband."
"That's okay," Scales said, winking at Dark, "We've got a way to resolve that problem."
Dark took off his jacket. "And we're gonna do it right now..." he said, his voice trailing off.His wristwatch started beeping. First it was slow...Beep. Beep. Beep. Then it started to speed up.
Beep!Beep! Beep!Beep! Beep!Beep!
Then it became even faster.
Beep!Beep!Beep!Beep!Beep!Beep!Beep!Beep!
Finally the beeping became so fast that the beeps began to overlap!
BEEEEEPBEEEEEPBEEBEEEBEEP!
Then the beeping stopped.
Dark smiled. He actually smiled. A small, black light outlined his body. Energy visibly was pulsing through him. He raised his hands, and they became covered entirely by the energy!
"Everyone!" he shouted. "You will now see what your minds are capable of!" He closed his eyes. "Say hello to Cedric!"
Suddenly there was a flash. Dark feel to the ground with a powerful thud! Everyone was silent. No one dared to speak, to move, even to breathe. There in front of Dark, stood a tall, handsome young man, with red eyes and long, blonde hair. Finally Scales broke the silence, saying only one word...
"Cedric!"
