Tension flight chapter 10
Zanna who had her arms tightly wrapped around Dilka's neck restrained her. She was shaking at the fact she could be so close to death for a silly reason. Charli on the other hand was being restrained by one of Carmen's hunks to not get into harm's way. He looked shocked and ashamed at the same time. Carmen slowly walked over to Zanna in a well-mannered way. Something about her had changed. "You know killing her will ruin everything," she mentioned. Zanna shook her head. "My information says not," Zanna hissed. Carmen pulled out a flick knife.
"Synchronize," she said. The blade grew bigger and sturdier. She pointed it at David. "Kill her and he goes with her," she said placing the glinting silver blade at his neck. He looked up at Zanna with scared eyes. Zanna smirked.
"If you kill him now no harm will be done," she said. Carmen shot a concerned glance at Zanna. "You mean he has already made a teleporter to the other side?" she asked. Zanna nodded as well as David. Carmen smiled in lifted up her blade and struck one big blow across David's neck. Blood spurted out and he fell to the ground dead. Dilka screamed in distress, taking breaks to gain limited air.
Zanna looked at David's dead body in horror. She didn't move though. Carmen pointed the blade at Zanna's forehead. Zanna tightened her grip around Dilka's neck and Dilka's hands shot up to try and loosen her grip. "Let the poor girl go Zanna," Carmen said. Zanna shook her head and let one arm off Dilka and pulled out a knife out of her pocket. "You're not the only one with that skill," she hissed.
"Synchronize," she said. The blade grew bigger similar to Carmen's but it looked more delicate. She pointed it at Dilka. Carmen slipped her blade underneath Zanna's and flung it upwards hitting it away from Dilka. Zanna was still gripping it though. Zanna brought it forward towards Carmen but she dodged it with ease. Carmen twisted gracefully and pointed the sword at Zanna's chest.
"One more time. Let the girl go," she hissed. Zanna swished her sword at Carmen getting her in the cheek. Carmen's cheek skin flopped and she winced. Carmen looked back up and swung her sword at Zanna. Zanna threw Dilka to the wall and blocked Carmen's attack. Dilka hit the wall and fell to the ground unable to move. Carmen and Zanna's swords kept hitting each other when suddenly Carmen ducked low and swung her sword at Zanna's leg. Zanna yelped in pain as her left leg started to bleed badly. The cut was pretty deep and became a disadvantage to Zanna. They clashed swords a couple more times before Zanna retreated to the stunned Dilka and lifted up her sword. She swung down but the sword stopped in mid air. Dilka was curled up in a ball. Hands tearing into her sculp. "Stop! Stop! Stop it!" she called repeatedly.
As Zanna's sword stopped, she was blown backwards into the wall on the other side of the room. Dilka was still lying there saying the same thing over and over. "Desynchronize," Carmen said. Her sword minimized into the flick knife it use to be and walked over to Dilka. She stopped a meter away from her and knelt down putting her hand out. "It's okay, Dilka," she said with a smooth calming voice. Dilka looked up with big black eyes. Charli thought he saw them flash purple before they faded into their normal dark chocolate brown colour.
Dilka looked at Carmen with a confused, unsure face. She stretched out her hand and placed it gingerly into Carmen's hand before fainting. Carmen picked Dilka up and carried her out the door. "We should go," Carmen said as she ran to a white truck that was parked outside the household. The men went to drive the truck when the rest of them went into the back of the truck with Carmen, Charli and Dilka. Carmen laid Dilka onto the floor of the truck and let her be.
The world was red. Red trees, red sky, red lakes, red grass and she was red too. She looked around the place in fear. The smell of dried and fresh blood filled her nostrils. She gaged and fell to the floor. It was so overpowering. She looked at her shaking hands as the red crusted into a darker red until her whole body crusted and she smashed into the ground and broke like delicate but elegant glass.
She was standing on a silent beach. The waves lapped onto shore, mini and repetitive. The sky was pitch black with tiny little dots covering the domed, night sky twinkling. A big round circle shone brightly in the sky. The stars and the moon. She dipped her toe into the water. She jumped back. The water was freezing! Suddenly a body shimmered into her view. It was a tall man. He was also staring out into the never-ending, calm ocean ahead. "It's nice isn't it?" he asked. She was surprised by his voice. He was rather muscular and well toned but his voice was calm, soft and surprisingly beautiful. "Y-Yes," she let it stumble out clumsily. He chuckled. "I have watched you. Your whole life in fact. Every failure to every success," he said. She walked up next to the man. His black slick hair covering his eyes. "You have always been weak without some help," he said. She looked at the man with a small childish confused face. "You don't know yet, soon you will," he said before fading into the darkness. "One more thing," his voice echoed around in the darkness. "Don't be afraid. The power lives inside of you, Dilka" he said.
She sat down on the wet sand and dipped her feet into the water again. It was warm now and she wriggled her toes around in delight. Suddenly she heard the sound of rushing water and looked up. A massive wave was coming her way. She tried to get up and run away but she couldn't move. Not even a scream would come out. She could only watch, as the wave would take her into the never-ending dream.
They arrived at a different warehouse. Carmen picked up Dilka who was still asleep. They walked in to a little room. It was wooden and it had two beds. A bookshelf was on the other side of the room as well as two desks. Carmen placed Dilka down onto the bed. Carmen turned around to Charli. "You watch her. Any sudden movements or screaming and come get us," she said and disappeared. Charli looked around. The room was very dark since it was still night. He stumbled over to the vacant bed and flopped down onto it sadly hitting his head on the other side of the bed. He groaned and shifted himself so his head was on the pillow. He felt his head. It didn't feel that bad. He would just have to see what he would feel like in the morning. He closed his eyes and drifted off.
He kept waking up. He couldn't sleep. Everything was bothering him. The fact his made up world was real and the fact he was apart of the legendary royals and to make things worse the son of the phoenix! The one who had the closest bond to Hydra being the only thing in that time that could understand what Hydra was going through, but it didn't explain why he was wanted by Zanna to get the 'older Dilka'. He was woken up for the 5th time to here someone gaging. He looked over to see Dilka holding her throat and gagging. He shot up out of the bed and ran over to her. He took her hands off her throat and held them in his hands. She was still gaging. Suddenly she fell quiet and didn't make another sound.
Charli wasn't sure whether to take his hands away and go back to bed or stay. Was it the comfort of his hands? He couldn't tell. Carmen walked through the door and looked at Charli. "She was strangling herself," he said suddenly. She nodded and pushed Charli aside. She placed her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. She stayed put for a few minutes before her eyes shot open and she removed her hand quickly. Her face was calm and peaceful.
"She's fine," she said before taking Charli's hand and dragging him out of the room. She seated him on a seat outside of the room. "Now I bet you have been wondering why I want you," she said. Charli nodded slowly. She smiled.
"Well they aren't like Zanna's. I want to save aria. It's a creative world of peace. It would be horrible if humans destroyed it," she said.
Charli looked at her then at the floor. "What do you mean by save it?" he asked. Carmen bent down to look into his eyes. "It's decaying. An unbalance has occurred. We don't know what caused it but we believe Dilka has something to do with it. You are both 13 aren't you?" she asked. Charli nodded his head. "Yes, well, the unbalance started 13 years ago. It was very slow back then but it is starting to quicken in pace," she said. Charli blinked a couple of times before sitting up straight. "What are you going to do about it?" he asked.
"I need to get Dilka and you to aria. I need to now how Leo got there with that girl," she mentioned Leo in a harsh tone.
"What do you have against Leo?" he asked. Carmen looked up sharply.
"Nothing, it's just I heard something about his bloodline," she said. Charli nodded. So he was apart of the royals as well. "Anyway how did he teleport?" she pressed. "He just teleported," Charli said. She sighed.
"What actually happened?" she asked annoyed.
"Leo was going to get beaten up by this girl with a dagger and then suddenly teleported into mid air," he said. Carmen placed her hand on her head.
"So it was out of fear. Then why didn't Dilka teleport," she asked herself. They heard a loud thump as something fell onto the floor. Carmen and Charli shot up and opened the door wide enough that the hinges nearly detached itself from the door. Dilka was sprawled on the floor next to the bed. Carmen ran over and touched her forehead again. This time for a brief time then shot up and ran out of the room calling out "romia!"
She came back into the room with a tall man with long blonde hair. He looked a bit like a hippie. As he entered the room he looked at Charli then at Dilka. He placed a hand on her forehead then looked at Carmen. "We need to get someone in there," he said. Get someone in there? He looked at Charli and smiled.
"Not the way you're thinking of," he said. He pulled out a little machine.
" We can't send Charli because he isn't trained. Carmen you must go in," he said. She nodded and sat down on the floor. Legs crossed. She placed her right index finger into the machine and closed her eyes.
Carmen watched as Dilka sat down on the wet sand staring at her feet. Not knowing that the waves were growing bigger and forming into one huge wave. If she got hit they could possibly loose her! Dilka looked up in fright as she saw the wave. She tried getting up but she didn't move. She made no sound out of the open mouth. The wave was coming closer she has to do something! Carmen placed her hands in front of her. " Sei Sui Kixyohi(nymph water reject)" She chanted. Dilka watched as the wave stopped suddenly. Carmen took this chance to sprint towards Dilka. Carmen wrapped herself around Dilka and chanted. "Han toumei no mizu,(translucent water)." Her body turned into water and Dilka was absorbed in. The wave suddenly came crashing down on them.
When the water had receded back into the sea. Dilka flopped out of Carmen and she turned back into her normal form. Carmen had a wide smile on her face whilst Dilka looked around confused. "Time to go back Dilka," she said before hitting Dilka over the head with a ray of water and they vanished from the world together.
