Chapter 3 : One Step Closer
The morning sun was streaming in through the treehouse windows . I sat alone on the living room couch , by the phone . On the line was someone who used to be my mortal enemy , but now , ironically was my best friend .
"Are you sure he's okay?" asked the voice on the other end of the line.
"I guess so , " I reply softly , "He's at his house now , he locked his room door , no one can go in !"
The other person sighed , "I sometimes feel he's like this because of me , you know , the breakup?"
"Aw come on!" I tried to sound cheerful , "It's not your fault , you are still his friend , Lizzie."
Yes , it was Lizzie speaking on the other line . She used to be enemies with me , but ever since the breakup with Nigel , she had become my best friend .
"So….. how's life now?" she asked .
"It's fine ," I reply , "Kind of…. you know…. normal?"
Lizzie giggled , "I though your life was never normal !" she said .
I smiled and shook my head , even though I knew she couldn't see me , "It is now!"
Even though decommissioning was banned , teenage operatives weren't allowed to go on that many missions anymore . We weren't even allowed to use that much KND technology anymore . Life was normal , and rather boring .
Little did we know , this normal life was going to get a whole lot supernatural…..
As we were talking , Hoagie suddenly ran into the room , panting wildly , "Darrel!" he yelled, "You've gotta see this! It's crazy!" his expression was a mix of excitement and horror.
I hung up the phone and followed Hoagie , all the way to the treehouse meeting room , where Nigel used to give mission orders to us . A horrifying sight greeted me .
On of the transparent plastic windows and a huge hole burnt into it , melted plastic had harden on the floor just under the window . The whole room had evidence of a huge fight , almost all the control panels had charred marks all over them . On the wall and the floor were black , burnt marks .
"Who…. who did this…." I stammered in fear .
"Who else?" said Abby , who was in the room with Wally and Kuki looking at the burnt marks , "Uncle Benedic?"
(That was a nickname for our arch enemy Father , ever since we found out he was Nigel's uncle .)
"Why did he attack us , I have no idea." said Hoagie who was standing beside me.
"One question , though ." I said "Every thing was in order yesterday , so he must have attacked last night , but…. why didn't we hear or see him? And why is the burnt marks only in this room?"
Everyone looked at each other , puzzled . "Someone must have been protecting us!" said Wally in excitement .
"Who…."
Suddenly , Kuki let out an excited squeal , "Hey! Look what I found!" she held up something red and fluffy , it was a beautiful red feather !
"Woah! " yelled Hoagie as he walked over to her .
Abby took the feather and looked at it , "It's too long to be a birds feather , and too fluffy . " she said stroking it .
I took the feather from her and held it close to my face , it looked and felt really familiar . I shut my eyes and tried my best to think back on where I saw it .
When I opened my eyes , the feather was gone , Kuki had grabbed it from me and was slipping it into her hair , as Wally looked on , blushing .
"Angel!" I yelled suddenly, making everyone jump.
"Angel?" said Abby in surprise, "Isn't that Nigel's nickname?"
"Well , yeah . " I said , "Nigel does sound like Angel right? But I meant that angel I saw in my room last night!"
"Darrel! It's just a cruddy dream!" yelled Wally in disgust .
"Well , this proves it's real doesn't it?" I said pointing at the feather in Kuki's hand , "It's too long and fluffy to belong to a bird , and in spite of all the fire last night here , it doesn't even have a small burnt mark anywhere!"
Wally shook his head and walked away , and Hoagie just sighed , Abby did the same , only Kuki looked at me in excitement . Only Kuki believed I saw an angel in my room last night when I told them the story at breakfast that morning , the rest of them just kept saying it was only a dream , but I knew it was real .
Suddenly the communicator computer rang , it only had a few cracks on the screen , "Sector V?" Rachel's voice came through , "Sector V , can you read me?"
"Yes , Numbuh 362 , transmission received ." I yelled running over to the computer . The screen was blank but Rachel's voice came out clearly , probably results of the cracked screen .
"Is your computer okay?" she asked.
"Not really , seems like Father attacked our HQ meeting room last night ."
"Oh , I see . " came Rachel's voice again . "How's Nigel?"
"No idea ," replied Abby , "He locked himself up in his room today ."
"Uh….. okay… then…." I could imagine Rachel blushing as she though about Nigel , "Could you guys come up to the Moonbase now?" she asked , "we have something to show you . It seems like our meeting room has been attacked too . There are burnt marks all over the place , as well as scratch marks of some kind of animal . Strangely , no one knew there was a fight in there . It's almost like we have a guardian angel!"
"Okay then , end transmission ." I said before turning to the others , "What did I tell you?" I asked , smiling , "Angel is real! We're just one step closer , you'll see , one step closer!"
There you go , Chapter 3!
Who is angel , you're wondering , see you in Chapter 4 then!
