Kuki's POV
"Get off me!" Wally struggled,
Kuki hated seeing Wally in distress but what could she do?
One of Sandy's cousins grabbed the scruff of Wally's hoodie and pulled him up to his feet. The other two cousins started going through his pockets.
"Sandy, what do you think you're doing?" Kuki asked.
One of the cousins went into Wally's front pocket and pulled out the bracelet that Sandy had given Kuki.
She looked at the boy in disbelief.
"Wally?"
Wally looked as shocked as she did.
"This is HORSE SHIT!" He yelled. "One of them must have planted it Kooks!"
Kuki looked at Sandy.
"He couldn't have, he was with me the whole time."
"A well experienced criminal my dear." Sandy said putting his nose in the air. "All the usual clues, a boy traveling alone, third class, no clothes or anything with him. Kuki, do you think that the expensive bracelet I bought you just jumped into his pocket?"
Kuki looked back at Wally.
"But, his parents are rich; he has a swimming pool for crying out loud!"
Sandy scoffed and told them to take him away.
Kuki was hurt deeply when she heard Wally screaming her as he was dragged away.
"Don't listen to them Kuki! I wouldn't take it! Why would I take it? Kuki! You know me!"
Wally's POV
She didn't really believe them did she?
Why would he steal her bracelet?
He sat on the wooden chair that they had tied him on and glared at them.
One of Sandy's cousins came up to him and crouched down s that they were face to face.
"Sorry about the dirty play Buddy." He said in a mocking tone. "But if we didn't put that bracelet in your pocket, Sandy's dreams would have been broken."
Wally said nothing, just made no eye contact and stared at the floor.
"Look at me!" He heard him say.
He carried on looking at the floor.
"I said…LOOK AT ME!" Wally still said nothing, then, he felt the boy thump him in the jaw…
Kuki's POV
As Sandy pulled her away, she was wondering to herself.
Wally didn't really steal that did he?
Suddenly, she felt a giant thump, everyone on the train was thrown forward.
The driver came through the carriages, telling everyone to stay calm and not to panic.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm afraid I must inform you that we have crashed into a tree that has crashed into a tree. There is no danger and we will just be delayed."
Kuki looked back towards third class where Wally was, and noticed smoke.
"Wally" she whispered under her breath.
She managed to sneak away without Sandy noticing her.
Running down third class, she chocked on the smoke.
She saw the fire at the bottom of the train.
"Wally?" She yelled, beneath coughs.
She was almost about to loose hope, but then, through the window of the door next to her, she saw him.
"Wally!" She burst through the door. His head shot up.
"Kuki! What are you doing down here? You've gotta get out!" She gasped. His nose was all bloody, he had a giant cut on his lip and his one cheek was rosy red.
"I'm not leaving you!" She said as she came up to him.
"Ok, is there a knife or something on that shelf up there?"
She ran and stood on the seat. Fumbling around for something to cut the ropes with.
"There's nothing here!" She yelled to him.
"Kuki, just forget me! Get out and stay safe!"
She looked at him with fear and sorrow then, ran out of the room.
Wally's POV
Wally closed his eyes and took at deep breath.
Hoping, praying that she'd be ok. There she went, the love of his life and he'd never see her again.
Then she came running back in, somehow with an axe in her hand.
"Will this work?" She asked frantically.
She came back for him. In a way, he was so happy that she didn't leave him.
"Yeah, great job Kooks,"
She went behind him and he saw her shadow hold up the axe. He was suddenly struck with fear. Knowing that Kuki wasn't the most accurate of girls.
"Wait, Wait, Kooks, do a few practice ones on the table over there or something."
Kuki did so, she hit the side of the table once.
"Now try and hit then same spot Kooks, you can do it"
She tried again, totally missing the spot by at least 30 inches.
Realising that the fire in the hall was edging closer to them Wally decided that they had no more time.
"Ok, that's close enough Kooks," He said hastily.
She went behind him. He could tell that she was panicking.
"Kuki," He said, turning his head. "I trust you,"
This calmed Kuki down a little. As she held up the axe, he turned his head back, closed his eyes and silently said goodbye to his arms.
The axe came down; Wally felt no pain, just a little graze where the axe caught him. He stood up and hugged her, before dragging her out of the room.
They ran up to first class, where everyone had congregated. They met with Joe.
"They think that the fire was caused by somebody playing with matches." Joe informed him.
"Yeah, well the fires too strong, it'll be impossible to put it out before it gets to the engine" Wally was glad that he remembered numbuh 2's wisdom about fire and engines don't let them collide!
Then, they heard the driver calling them and all turned to look at him.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please listen to me, and do not panic. We must evacuate the train ASAP and in an orderly fashion. Females first please…"
