Chapter 4 : The Truth Is Reveled
I stared at a huge scratch mark on the wall , cringing in disgust . Judging by the size and deepness of the scratch , the paw of the animal that made this must have been as big as someone's head , an animal this size could kill someone in one swap !
As I stared at the scratch mark , a tall blond boy walked up , it was Chad . Usually when I saw him , I would turn away and pretend no one was there . But things were different now , this time , I smiled at him and gave him a high-five.
"What's up bro?" I said in a mischievous voice.
"You learned how to talk like that?" he said in surprise.
"Duh , I'm a teenager now!" I said laughing . I could still remember when he was my friend when we were just kids . We loved to 'hang out' together , but when we hung out , I used to talk a lot about Nigel , resulting Chad to get jealous of him , I guess that's why he did that , why he turned to the dark side .
I could still faintly remember how it started….
"Would you just stop talking about him?" I could remember him yelling at me , he still had his helmet with the "274" on it .
"But I thought you said he was cool?" I remember answering , I had backed into a wall and my long fringe was covering my eyes.
"Cool? Just because he wears those stupid sunglasses doesn't mean he's cool!" he yelled at me , pinning me against the wall . "Remember this , Numbuh 419 , I'm the Best There Is!"
Sure you are , Chad , you were the Best There Is….. Thank goodness your on our side now Chad , or I would just love to kick that butt of yours like I did last time……
We stood staring at the scratch mark on the wall , "What do you think made this?" I asked him .
"Don't know , no animal is big enough to do this . I mean , look around ," he pointed to the rest of the hall behind us . "What creature could do all this ?"
The destruction in the Moonbase meeting hall looked like the destruction in "Wars of The Worlds" , the same scratch mark was everywhere , even on metal surfaces . There were gooey substances all over the floor . Some said that it was animal drool but (yuck!) what kind of animal could drool so much ?
"Hey Darrel ! Numbuh 419!!" yelled a voice , I turned to the direction of the voice , it seemed like a long time anyone ever called me by my codename .
A girl with short blond hair was running up to me . She held a helmet under her left arm and had a feather stuck behind her right ear . "Rachel!" I yelled running up to meet her , leaving Chad behind .
"Found anything?" she asked in that familiar stern , commanding voice .
"Not yet ." I said , eying the fluffy , red feather stuck behind her ear . "Anyway , Rachel , I wasn't able to ask you this the past few days , but I'll ask you now . Did they allow you to still be Supreme Commander?" I asked , looking back into her soft brown eyes .
She looked at me , puzzled , "Who?"
"The next generation of the KND , I thought no member over 13 can have such a high position ."
She just smiled and winked at me , "Oh that , well , I just tried out your method , 'puppy-dog-eyes' ! It works ! That's why I'm still Supreme Commander ." she did that infamous 'puppy-dog-eyes' at me and we both burst out laughing .
"Anyway , someone found this just a few minuets ago ." she dug her hand into her pocket and her eyes widened in shock , she begin to search through her jacket pockets while saying in a panicked voice , "Where is it?"
I reached out and took the feather from behind her ear , " Is this what your looking for?" I asked .
She looked at the feather and blushed , "Oh , yeah….."
I took out the feather from my pocket , the one Kuki found at the treehouse , "Coincidence?" I said holding up the two similar feathers together .
Rachel shook her head , "I don't think so….."
About ten minuets later , I was strolling along the Moonbase corridor , singing 'A Thousnd Miles' by Vanessa Carlton . I noticed that although I enjoyed hanging out with friends , I loved silence and being left alone . That was when I could express myself with no one was watching , like singing or dancing .
The wall on my left made of transparent plastic , and allowed me to have a glance into outer space . It was an amazing sight , stars from millions of light years away shone like diamonds while glowing nebulas veiled the darkness of space .
"If I could fall into the sky , do you think time could pass me by ." I sang as I looked out into space , "You know I walked a thousand miles….."
A noise stopped me , I stopped and listened . There was no noise except for the low hum of engines inside the wall on my right . I was about to start again when I heard the noise once more .
"No….." come a low moan , "Please…. no…."
I froze , the voice sounded so familiar , could it be…..
I ran forward in tiptoe , wondering if the voice was only my imagination .
The moan was growing louder , "Please…. don't…. I can't…."
I rounded a corner and stopped , leaning onto the wall and panting , then I almost screamed…..
Someone was laying on the floor , someone wearing a red t-shirt , someone with two long red wings growing out from his back…..
"Please…. I can't do it…. I can't….." he moaned……
The thing that horrified me the most was that he had two familiar features , a pair of sunglasses and a bald head…….
"Nigel!?" …….
……. I don't know what to say…….
All I can say is that my chapters are just getting longer and longer...
