Danny VS Dylan
You want to know something cool??? If you take Dylan...and change the L to a N then you have Danny just mixed up...I only thought of Dylan because I really like the name, but then I realized a little bit that its just like Danny on mixed up and instead of two N's just 1 N and 1 L. How cool is that? I didn't even plan that to actually happen...shows how smart I am. Anyway this chapter may be a little late, because this week I have WASL's (Washington Assessment of Student Learning) so I'll probably be tired and bored and saddened and stressed so, I'll post this A.S.A.P.!! Thanks!! ~Warriorgirl232
Chapter 7
BOOM! SIZZLE! CRACKLE! Dylan and I stopped dancing along with everyone else and looked just as the sound system exploded in a bunch of sparks and colors. Dylan grabbed my wrist and tugged me out of the way just as the lights blacked out and the gym and everyone inside was plunged into darkness.
"Dylan?" I whispered.
"I'm right here," Dylan said.
"We've got to get out of here," I whispered and I felt a light tug on my wrist and I just allowed myself to be led carefully through the gym. I was surprised that I didn't knock into anyone, either no one was in our path or Dylan could see in the dark. I didn't know which one to believe, but I know which one made me more nervous than the other...suddenly cold air whipped my face and I blinked as my eyes adjusted to a little less darkness and I looked to see that Dylan and I were standing outside the school, probably where the emergency exit doors were located.
"Are you okay?" Dylan asked his eyes searching mine anxiously.
"Yeah, but how'd...?" I trailed off and sent Dylan a puzzled look.
"Listen Cathy there's a lot that you may know about me, but there is a lot more that you don't know," Dylan whispered.
"Like?" I coaxed nervously.
"Like how much your friends were right about me, being alien and all, I wasn't controlling you," Dylan said shaking his head. I let my hands slip from his grasps and I took a step back and stared at him.
"Why are you waiting till now to tell me?" I asked.
"We didn't have any other time, but I promise you that no harm is going to come to you or any of your friends, but I do need your help," Dylan pleaded stepping closer to me his eyes large green pools of begging cuteness. Did I really just think that?
"No," I stated and he stared at me helplessly. "I won't help you at all, until you tell me the whole story and I want the truth," I said and Dylan looked around and then nodded.
"Not here though, your friends will notice we're gone and will coming looking for you," Dylan explained and led me around the school and out onto the soccer field and we both halted in the middle. Dylan pulled from his pocket a small square object with a couple of small buttons on the side and one on the top.
"Isn't that..." I looked up at Dylan who nodded and looked around before pushing one of the side buttons and then the large on on top. He dropped the square object on the ground and suddenly a small circle, a faint gray color appeared in front of us, with a soft mist rolling off from it.
"Come on," Dylan coaxed and jumped through the portal and I looked around carefully before following him. It was like free-falling and I was scared and was not paying attention, but I sure felt the hard ground as I landed awkwardly on my feet and swayed slightly, but Dylan was standing there and caught me.
"Where are we?" I asked and looked around. Dylan nodded behind me and I turned just seeing some of the lights of the city.
"We're on the outskirts of the city almost out of detection, but this is one of the old warehouses were transporting is available to aliens leaving and coming to Singletown. It was the only place that I could think off," Dylan explained. Out of the city led a long side road that led out to the grassy fields and nearly empty spaces, except for a few warehouses that dotted the scenery here and there, including the one behind Dylan.
"Okay, whatever I don't care where we are, but what I really need is that you explain to me what is really going on with you and my friends and everything," I demanded angrily. This wasn't the Dylan I thought I knew. The one that had helped me up and become one of my closest friends and someone I had put my trust in, now it was all shattering right before my eyes, but I didn't want it to shatter, I wanted answers.
"It's a kind of long story and it involves your friend Danny as well as me," Dylan said glancing around nervously.
"What does Danny have to do with any of this?" I asked and Dylan held up his hand.
"It's kind of difficult to just start in the middle so I'll have to start in the beginning," Dylan stated and then looked around. "Your friends were right in saying that I am alien and I have no doubt that you already sensed that I am not a human, because you are Rhapsodian. Anyway, on planet Dureous there has been this prophecy that states, 'For all to know far a wide the twin boys that shall bless this planet shall rule together as one, but they are sperated and must be put together again.' The prophecy states that two twin boys shall rule together which is where Danny comes in to the picture sort of," Dylan said nervously.
"How is that in anyway the beginning?" I asked puzzled.
"Okay. Long ago a woman named Serena gave birth to twin boys, but since twins nor boys were uncommon for Dureous they thought nothing of it. On Dureous like Rhapsodia, the people have developed powers, but everyone that lives on Dureous is required to have powers, but one of the boys showed no signs of any such powers. That has never not happened before so the government knew that he must be raised on a planet that does not usually common with powers and that so happens to be Earth." Dylan glanced around anxiously as if he expected something to pop out of the shadows instantly. "Serena was distressed at this news, because she loved both of her sons and wanted them to stay together, but the rules were basically set in stone and she was forced to give up one of her sons and he was taken to planet Earth. It was only then that everyone realized that these twin boys could be the ones spoken of in the prophecy. They needed the other son back, because they feared they might have been wrong about him not having powers, but when someone is sent to a planet like Earth there is no way of tracking them or finding them exactly without much research. Serena, her husband Berton and there other son were enforcing to find the other twin, but the government started to see the prophecy more as an omen of bad news." Dylan sighed and started pace nervously. He began muttering to himself and I just stood there processing all of this information.
"Did they ever find the other twin?" I asked. I had a feeling I knew where this was going, but jumping to conclusions only ended up making me more embarrassed then when I had started out, so I just kept to asking simple questions.
"Well..." Dylan looked up in alarm as there was a shout in the distance.
"Cathy!" Sam, Chris, and Danny. They must've tracked me down somehow...but Dylan's story, all of it didn't make sense.
"You have to finish your story," I said walking up to Dylan who was watching the others approaching fast. They would've started to shoot, but they knew they couldn't risk hitting me, I knew they knew or at least I hoped so.
"Not with them, they can't know, well at least not now," Dylan stuttered nervously.
"Why does everything have to be so difficult?" I groaned and Dylan gave me a weak smile.
"It'll just get worse, trust me," Dylan whispered and I sighed.
"That's not the problem right now," I said angrily. "Do you have another transporter device?" I asked and Dylan shook his head.
"I wasn't planning on our party being crashed," Dylan explained quickly his eyes watching in horrific fear as the others advanced, almost right on top of us.
"Then I'll have to teleport us," I stated.
"Can you even teleport?" Dylan asked skeptically. I glanced around at our surroundings and tried to remember what Grandpa had told me about close range teleportation. "Envision your place that you want to teleport too and focus as hard as you can. It'll take some time for it to actually happen, but you'll know when you're teleporting its just like what the earthlings call free falling." I pulled Dylan closer to the warehouse and I grabbed his hands in mind.
"I think I can, but I'll need some time," I said.
"You do realize they'll believe I'm controlling you if you go all Rhapsodian on me," Dylan replied and I shrugged.
"Well, right now its our only option and unless you want to get blasted at and perhaps battle Danny or Sam or Chris, then you'd better be able to buy me some sort of time," I snapped and Dylan sighed.
"Just start focusing already," Dylan whispered and stood protectively in front of me. I closed my eyes and let Grandpa's instructions run through my mind a couple of times before I had to think of a secret place, where could we go? The clubhouse was definitely out, not the house, the school wouldn't work there would probably be all sorts of people hanging around, the warehouse? Inside the warehouse would work, I just had to imagine what it might look like. I got the image a few seconds later just as threatening voices filled the air.
"Let her go!" ~Danny
"I'm not doing anything!" ~Dylan
Warehouse, Warehouse, Warehouse. Tall building with support beams and boxes and crates and a cement floor...focus, focus, focus.
"You're controlling her aren't you?" ~Chris
"We'll shoot you Dylan, we will." ~Sam
"I wouldn't if I were you." ~Dylan I felt something grab a tight hold of me and I almost lost my concentration.
"Watch it," I hissed to Dylan.
"Sorry," Dylan replied. "Maybe you're right, maybe I am controlling her, but remember you shoot me and I could have her act as my shield. You wouldn't shoot your friend would you?" Dylan was really convincing. If he hadn't been my friend, I would've thought for sure he was serious.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on her," Danny threatened. My heart fluttered lightly, Danny always having to be the hero in the situation.
"Danny," Sam said softly. I could tell she was taking Dylan serious. I opened my eyes, not really knowing what would happen, but I think they were glowing, because I could just barely see the light blue light glowing along the sides of my eyes.
"Is it working?" Dylan asked and I nodded. "We'd both just love to stick around, but we've got to go," Dylan said and with that I let the image take over the both of us. I grabbed onto Dylan letting that free-fall feeling wash over me like a huge wave would at what Sam had called an ocean. I closed my eyes once more and held on tightly to Dylan's arm until hard, firm ground met us both. Dylan grunted in pain, while I winced. I cautiously opened my eyes to find out that it had worked....I had teleported both Dylan and myself inside the warehouse. I could hear startled voices outside, which means we were inside the warehouse we had just been standing in front of just seconds before.
"Dylan," I said turning to him. He looked at me his gaze full of anxiety. "You've still got to explain a whole lot to me."
