Tension flight chapter 6:

FIre that burns through the night is the goal. What does it mean? Dilka thought. She looked frantically around the room. David wasn't awake yet! She ran outside to find a bicycle. She hopped on and rode it down. Where would he be? He would of gone to the mall but someone could of taken him somewhere! The interest Aunt Zanna and that mysterious person had in him could mean other people could be looking for him! "If i remember rightly in London people took people to downtown london to deal with them," Dilka said under her breath. Downtown london would take ages for her to ride to and Charli could already be in BIG TROUBLE! She had to hurry!

Charli looked around the alley way. It had a bad feeling to it. "Just this way," the man said leading him down it. Charli couldn't see anything beyond the alley way. WHat if it was a dead end and all of this was for nothing? It suddenly got darker. A lot of people were in this part of the alley way. It had Charli feel uneasy. "OI! Big Boy," One hooted out. The man waved. "Brung another?" another yelled out. He nodded. A girl with red hair stepped out of the shadows that were hiding every one. She looked Charli up and down. "You sure it's him?" she questioned. The man shrugged. "I found him by himself. Wasn't the rumor he would be by himself or with a wacko girl?" He asked. The girl nodded and walked up to CHarli. "Would you tell us your name, young lad?" she asked. Charli was unsure but just to be polite he answered. "My name is Charli." He suddenly felt eyes burn into his back. Was something wrong with his name. He heard whispering around the alleyway and arms wrapped around his body. This wasn't good! This wasn't good at all! "Let GO!" he screeched. sniggers filled the alleyway. Why did he trust this guy?

Another Girl showed her face. She had blonde shoulder length hair red and gold singlet, pink gloves, denim blue shorts and a pink ribbon tied around her neck. She smiled at Charli. "We were glad you came here instead of us going over there," she started.

"What do you mean come to us?" he asked staring at the flick knife in her hand.

"You saved us the trouble of going to what? Australia and hunting you and your brother down," She smirked and walked closer to him.

"I heard your brother isn't with you. Where is he?" she hissed.

"I-I don't know," Charli stuttered. She placed the blade on his neck.

"You must be bluffing! Do you know how long I have been looking for you two?" She asked with a hint of insanity in her voice. What was she going on about? The man but his hand on her shoulder. "Carmen, calm down. You are mentally unstable still," he said concerned.

"Yer Boss! You don't want to kill him!," They called out.

"You're the boss?" Charli asked. She drew her knife away and nodded.

"Yes, surprising isn't it? A princess like me being a boss of a rebel gang!" she sniggered to herself. Charli looked her up and down. She was a very pretty lady. Sadly her mental unstableness failed her. She clicked her fingers and the arms around him dragged him away. Charli tried to struggle free but it was no use. The people restraining him were too strong. He was suddenly blind folded.

When the blind fold came off he found himself in a dim room. It smelt old and dusty. Where was Dilka? SHe probably would of noticed by now and came riding down. Carmen was standing in the room. No one else was around. "I'm sorry about before. Let instincts take over," she said annoyed. SHe looked up. "Let's say i have two personalities,"She said. She looked friendlier now. She sat on the ground. "I am usually in this place to reflect on my bad actions," she continued. she smiled slightly. "I am not really their boss either. I just have the information the higher ups need. Insane me though. Well that's a whole different story," she said. Charli nodded. He felt a bit sorry for her. It must of be hard for her to deal with two personalities. "Hey. an you tell me more about your brother?" she asked. Charli thought for a bit. What happens if this is all an act.

"I'm sorry. I'd rather not say," He replied. She nodded and got up.

"I guess you wouldn't," she sighed and walked out of the room. Charli laid down on the hard cold floor. He might rest and hopefully when he wakes up everything will be fine.

Dilka rode her bike down until she got tired. SHe stopped a bus stop not far away and rode that extra distance. SHe looked in her pocket. She had a few coins! she counted them. 10 euro. She smiled and waited for the bus. "Down town london," she bus driver received her money and she sat down on the bus. Was Charli alright? Only if she knew what he was going through! She was never good at noticing other people's feelings, only hers. The person behind her picked up his phone. She eavesdropped on their conversation. She only got bits of it though but it was all she needed. "What is it?" he asked. a muffled voice went through the phone. "You found him? GREAT! be there soon!" the person said and hung up the phone. Charli was by himself and didn't know london very well. He would of accepted any help! This person may help Dilka find him! She followed the person off the bus to a old, tattered building. He knocked on the door 4 times in a pattern and the door stood their for a bit then tried the same pattern. The door swung open and she snuck in. Hopefully people didn't recognize she wasn't apart of what looked like a group. A pretty blonde girl trotted down the stairs. "he is asleep upstairs. One of you guys can look after him," SHe said. Dilka put her hand up.

"Okay, you can guard him," She said and walked over to a table. There was a lot of people here so she wouldn't remember who was new or apart of the group! Dilka ran up stairs to find herself in a little room. A door was on the left and she opened it. Charli was sleeping on the floor. Should she wake him up? No! he might get angry. She sat down on the floor and stared at him. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. As if he was floating in the ocean. She waited a few hours when suddenly CHarli groaned. HE MUST BE AWAKE! She jumped up and lent over him. "HELLO!" she cheered. He jumped surprised. All colour had drained from his face. "What are you doing here?" he stuttered. She shrugged.

"I just followed a guy here and they let me guard you," she said.

CHarli nodded. "Did you think of a way out?" he asked. Dilka's expression changed. This was a bad sign for both of them. "You mean you sat here doing nothing?" he asked pissed. Dilka frantically looked around the room. There was a rope in the room but was it safe to use? "Wait.. since you said all that stuff when we first met. Don't you have the talent of flying or something?" Charli teased. Dilka tensed. "I thought you were different then the others," she mumbled. She turned her head to him. This comment had obviously got to her. "Oh, can't you fly? Aren't you super human? why don't you go invisible and disappear from my sight? Can't you save the world from 'evil'?" she hissed. She looked out the window and jumped out of it. whilst saying. "I guess not," Charli ran to the window and yelled out. "I WAS JOKING!". He saw dilka fall out and land on the path way in perfect tack. They were on the second floor! She ran away tears filling her eyes.

Damn, Charli! You just messed up!

He sat back down on the cold floor. She might of ran off to find something to get him out. But she looked really hurt at his joke. It was only a joke...

You idiot. You don't know what she has gone through. A voice said in his head. He put his head in his hands. He sucked. He went into the corner and thought through his actions.

Dilka was running through the street's of Downtown London. ears filled her eyes. Why do things hurt her so easily? He said he was joking! but i jumped out of a window and ran away. I am such a jerk. She thought. She suddenly got tired and went into a slow walk. " I should go back. Tell david," she said. She pulled over a taxi.

"I dont have any money! but can you drive me home? i got lost. My uncle will pay," Dilka said to the indian man driving the cab. He nodded. "Sure thing miss," he said and drove off to the destination. DIlka jumped out of the cab when it finally reached her uncles. She ran into the house. "Uncle david! I found Charli but I couldn't get him out! you have to help me!" She called out into the house. David Came running down the stairs putting on his jacket. "Show me then." he huffed and followed Dilka out of the door.

They hopped into the cab and they drove back to the site Dilka was picked up at. David gave the driver the money and ran after Dilka as fast as he could. Thy reached the building. "Second floor in that window," Dilka puffed whilst pointing at the window. David nodded. "That shouldn't be a problem," he said. He pulled out a rope with a hook atone end. He threw it in the air until it caught the window sill. It made a clank sound and Charli's head popped out of the window. "Use the rope as a fire man pole," David called out. He looked at David. " What if it breaks or I fall?" He asked. David looked at Dilka. then back up at Charli. "Dilly, will catch you!" he said.

They both stared at him in disbelief. He winked. Charli sighed and climbed over the window sill and started to slide down the rope when the suddenly panicked and lost his grip. Dilka jolts below him but he managed to stay on with his feet wrapped around the rope until he hit his head on the ground. David un hooked the rope and put Charli on his back since the impact o the ground and his head left him unconscious. 'How could david carry him on his back and run faster than me?' Dilka thought.
