12.
The hand on my shoulder turned me around and I looked in his clear blue eyes. He had short black hair and he was wearing a grey jeans with a black top which showed off his muscles. He looked very big and tough, a bit scary to be honest.
I swallowed and felt how fear was starting to control my heartbeat. And it scared me even more how he was just staring at me with narrowed eyes. Looking at me like "You have to be fucking kidding me"
The silence was unbearable and I didn't know what to do or where to look. I suddenly noticed how close he was standing to me and took a step back.
He quickly grabbed my shirt and pulled me to the middle of the roof. I had completely forgotten that I was still standing on the edge. If he hadn't pulled me away I would have fallen! Does this mean that he's not one of the bad guys? But all the good guys I've met look way less scary than the bad guys and I have to say he's got a bit of both.. so what is he?
'You really are one crazy human, aren't you?' he said. His voice was deeper and rougher than Danny's.
'Are you one of the good guys or..?' I asked . Now he had taken the first step of talking to me it was way easier to ask him questions.
He looked at me perplexed and then burst out in laughter.
'What's so funny?' I asked confused. But anyway he should laugh more, he looks less scary then.
'Nothing, it's an insider between me and Dougie.' He said still giggling
'Dougie?'
'Yeah, you've met him'
'So you must be Harry then?'
'Yeah, that's me' he said smiling
'How come you are here? And how did you know about me?' I asked curious
'Well, I saved Dougie yesterday and he told me what happened to Danny. and he told me about you and how you were taken away and never returned. We went to Earth but you weren't there, so we searched on Xion and we found you in a cell but it was impossible to wake you up. That's how I knew Mino was behind this and I went here to help you.'
'But how?'
'I've known Mino since we were 6. We used to be best friends and as best friends we told each other everything. He told me there was a hole in his power. There was a way in and out. He never told me how though but recently I've figured it out' Harry explained
'So if we're still on Xion and you've saved Dougie and now me, does that mean you've saved Danny as well?'
'No unfortunately not. I had to get you first because when we save Danny everyone will come after us'
I nodded, that might be right.
'It was so weird though' I said speaking my mind
'What was?'
'I believed everything here was real and that meeting you guys was a dream until Danny started showing up in the mirror and window telling me to wake up. He didn't tell me he could do that'
'Really?' harry asked but it wasn't a surprised really more like a "I already know that but I'm going to act surprised"
I studied him with narrowed eyes. he kept looking at the ground, a typical thing to do for people who haven't lied very often.
'You knew didn't you?'
'Yeah, but Danny didn't'
'What do you mean?' I asked confused
Harry sighed. '50 years ago there was a premonition saying there would be a child with a healing touch to save the already doomed ones'
'Danny is the only one who can heal in over 600 years, he told me' I said thinking about that conversation.
'Yeah, that's how we knew it was him. The premonition also said that he would have power beyond believe.. so we knew he must have other powers'
'And Danny doesn't know?'
'NO' Harry said quickly. 'No, Danny doesn't know anything about this. There are only a few Xi's who do'
'Does Dax know?' I asked worried. If he does Danny is in ever bigger trouble than I thought!
'No he doesn't. He knows that there was a premonition but I don't think he has laid the connection with Danny yet' Harry said and I could breathe again. 'But we have to get out of here now'
'Alright.. how?' I asked looking around
'Hold on to me' Harry said and I looked at him in a are you serious way.
'Do it!'
I quickly wrapped my arms around him. The raise of his voice made him scary again.
Harry put his hands in the air and electricity came out of his palms. The whole world was soon an electric ball. It was an incredible sight to see. Then everything started to fade and eventually everything turned black.
0000000000
I shot wide awake breathing heavily, like I haven't been breathing in days.
'Welcome back.' Dougie said smiling
'Thanks' I replied grateful. Harry was next to me, waking up as well.
'You took your time' Dougie said to him
'Sorry, I had to tell Tom about Danny..'
Dougie suddenly had a face of understanding. I'm guessing he knows as well..
'It's ok, I kept us invisible' he said winking
'Thanks' Harry said smiling and kissed Dougie grateful. Dougie happily kissed back.
'Alright than, are we ready to get some action?' Harry asked excited
'BRING IT ON!' Dougie and I said together
