Tension flight chapter 9:
Carmen came crashing through the front door of the house. A gang of people was armed behind her. "We are here for the boy and possibly the girl!" she shouted. Zanna went to her. "What are you talking about?" she asked. Carmen smirked.
"Zanna, I know they are in your household. You were just lucky your brother adopted the girl," she sniggered. David came around the corner to find the shocking discovery. He was suddenly pushed over and Chari appeared. "In the name of god!" he muttered. Carmen was standing there smiling hands on her hips. "Silly boy," she said.
"Ca-Carmen," he said. Zanna snapped her head at Charli.
"You little bastard told them we were here!" she shouted. Charli stepped backwards to get away from Zanna's rising anger. "No, I found out where you were ages ago Zanna," Carmen said.
"Come on Charli!" Carmen said putting her hand out. He looked at Carmen's good looks and innocent face and Zanna who was full of shock. Zanna only wants to use Charli but Charli knows nothing about Carmen's motives. He did get a message saying allies and further away than expected so does that mean Carmen and her gang is his allies? He should take the chance. He walked over to Carmen and took her hand. She smiled. "See, no conflict," she said. She looked around. "Where is that girl?" she asked.
Dilka laid in bed scared about the racket going down stairs. It was mainly muffled chatter. She finally drew up the courage to go down the stairs to see what was going on. She ran down the stairs and around the corner to see Charli take that blonde girl's hand from earlier. Zanna looked shocked but angry at the same time as well as David. The blonde girl looked up. She had to admit she was a good-looking woman. I bet Charli just fell for a trap. The lady looked up and waved at Dilka. "Hey!" she cheered out. Zanna shot a menacing stare at Dilka, which made her feel uncomfortable. Charli looked over his shoulder to see Dilka there. Dilka could imagine his thoughts. I have been caught! Or something like that.
"What's happening?" Dilka asked looking around the room. The atmosphere was making her tremble. It didn't feel right at all. "We came for you," Carmen said. She looked at Zanna. "I found them first!" Zanna yelled. Carmen shrugged and looked down at Charli. "She told you right?" she asked. Charli looked up at her. "About finding Dilka?" he asked. Carmen nodded.
"Finding me?" Dilka asked. Carmen smiled and pushed the topic aside. Charli looked at Dilka. "Zanna wants me to find this person to do something evil and wants to get into the world Leo is to get him to capture the daughter of fairies," Charli said. Dilka stood there staring at him. "I thought I was the one who spoke gibberish," she said.
"They exist though!" Charli said. Dilka laughed.
"Where is the proof," Dilka asked. Charli thought for a while. How will he prove his point? Carmen smirked and pulled out a device. "if you want proof I shall tell you," she said.
"Carmen don't!" David called out but it was too late Carmen started explaining.
"Charli is the son of the phoenix," she said. Charli looked up at her in disbelief. David sighed happily and Zanna grew angry. "That was top secret!" she shouted. Carmen shrugged and Charli backed away from everyone. "So you are saying I am not from here?" he asked. Carmen nodded. At least someone was completely honest with him. "We only came here to get Charli and Dilka so we can get Leo and Annie back to earth and help the world of Aria regain balance," Carmen said. She looked over to Zanna. "Them on the other hand want to take this special person known as the Older Dilka to you guys and destroy aria," Carmen said. Dilka looked over at Zanna. Zanna was pale and speechless.
Carmen had spoken about it so calmly and did so confidently, as if she had rehearsed it. Dilka looked back to Carmen and Charli and started to walk forwards until someone grabbed her around the neck. They held her tight enough to limit her oxygen supply and started to choke. "Give them back for I kill her," Zanna hissed. Charli started to run towards Dilka but Carmen Caught him by the arm and pulled him back. "You stupid idiot," she muttered. She shoved him out the door to one of the men. "make sure he doesn't do anything rash," she said.
