Holidaylaid a tired hand on her head, "Rex, we can't put hot sauce in their water. It wouldn't do any good for a distraction."
Rex slumped back in his chair, "Well what are we going to do? White won't help us with troops and Van Kliess has too many EVO's to fight off. What can we do?"Holidayshook her head, "I don't know Rex. I just don't know any more."
The two were very drowsy. They were planning for six hours straight, till eleven at night, and they still couldn't think of a Rex to rest for a bit but Rex was persistent.
Rex yawned loudly, "We can't give upHoliday. Six was always there for us, now we have to be there for him. It's only fair." Yet Rex was having doubts that they would think of a plan that soon , "I know hun, but we would be able to think of a better plan if we get some rest. Then we will be able to think of a plan sooner." Rex nodding, knowing that the doctor was right. She was always right.
Rex stood up and stretched, "Yeah, I think your right. Night Doc." The two left, going to have a pretty hectic sleep. The worry was keeping the two from sleeping very well.
The next morning, the two met inHoliday's lab. The two tried to show that they weren't tired as hell.
Holidayhad her cup of coffee while Rex stuffed down a whole waffle in his mouth in about a Rex for eating so fast and placed her mug down.
Rex apologized, "Sorry. Anyways, have any plans about Six's rescue?"Holidaytapped the desk, "Well, I was thinking that we could..."Holidaywas interrupted when White came up on a screen. Rex groaned, "Yes White?"
White's face was expressionless, like always, and said plainly, "We have a transmission from Abyss."Holidayand Rex glanced at each other then back at White's face fizzled out with static and Van Kliess appeared.
Rex growled, "Where's Six you basterd!" Van Kliess laughed, "Oh, he's fine Rex." Rex sneered. Van Kliess raised an eyebrow, seeing that the teen clearly did not believe him. He smirked, "He's fine, I promise you. See for your self." Van Kliess waved his hand to his side. Six walks in with his head hung. He stopped in front of the evil EVO lord.
Holiday's heart felt a little lighter knowing that Six was alright. Rex said, "Six!" The boy looked up slightly but then quickly planted his gaze back on the ground. Rex tilted his head, confused why his protector wouldn't look at the difference as well and frowned. She looked up at Van Kliess and barked, "What did you do to him you demon from hell!"
Van Kliess grinned, "Nothing Doctor. It was mainly his doing."Holidaygasped and Rex blinked back in surprise, "Why is he like this then? Six, why are you like this?"
The lord placed a hand on Six's shoulder, "Six has decided to join The Pack." Rex yelled, "You're lying! Six, you would never join them, would you?" Six looked up, his eyes filled with guilt and a little of worry. He whispered, "It was the only way." Rex andHolidaywere confused at the statement. It gave them no answers to their question.
Van Kliess patted the boy's shoulder, "I will take good care of little Six here. I'll raise him as if he was my own. Hopefully, he will take my place. Oh, you don't have to worry about being chased by the pack, Rex, you are nothing to me now." Van Kliess glanced atHoliday, "I would need a queen when I rule."Holidayhuffed, "Not a chance you ass."
Van Kliess shrugged, "Well, I tried. Say hello to Cesar for me." He laughed evilly and the screen went dark.
Six have never been this depressed in a long time. He just betrayed his friends and Van Kliess was going to re-raise him. Six shivered at the thought.
The only good thing about this was that Rex would be safe. Six thought, How come that man always threatens people with other people? He needs to be more original with his threats.
Six was expected to have dinner with his 'master'. Frankly, he would rather starve than eat with that terrorist. But, he didn't really have much of choice, now did he? He wished he was bigger again. Just so he can kick Van Kliess's ass.
Six was heading down a corridor into the 'dinning room'. Everything was bland, dark, and misshapen. It looked kinda creepy but, then again, Van Kliess is a creepy person, so he deserves a creepy castle. And since Six was five, everything looked creepier than it was. Made him feel small and vulnerable. He sighed, missing when he wasn't afraid of anything...save forHoliday's cooking of course.
Six entered the room. There was an odd chandelier at the top of the room. It carried white candles on each spike. The walls were slightly bumpy, like the rest of the castle, and had a few windows in the back of the room. Apparently it was pouring outside. Then, in the middle of the room, laid a table that sat about eight people, three on the long ends and one on the short ends. Van Kliess sat at the far end, sipping on something in a tea cup. Van Kliess looked up and smiled. He patted his hand on the chair to the right of him.
Six obeyed and sat at that chair. He a bit of trouble since the chairs were kinda tall. Once he managed to make it up, he settled himself on the cushioned seat and stared at the man. Van Kliess was very amused that the agent that caused him so much trouble before could barely get in a chair now.
Van Kliess settled his hands on the arms and that's when Six noticed that the machine on his hand wasn't there. He guessed that he didn't always wear it. Van Kliess cleared his throat, "Now Six, now that you have joined The Pack, I need to find something for you to do. You could wear something like what I have, but that won't work until you're older. Ah well, I suppose I have plenty of time to figure it out, don't I?"
Six nodded once and looked ahead. Van Kliess chuckled, "Don't worry about your old friends. You can make some here. Sure, they are not the most... smartest bunch, but they are loyal. That's what counts." Six nodded, not looking at him. Van Kliess went on, "You can go anywhere in the castle. Just as long as you don't leave the building, then everything will be just grand." Six glanced over at the lord and back at the wall, wishing he could leave.
Biowulf walked in, "Master. The parts are here." Van Kliess stood up, "Excellent." He looked down at Six, "Want to come boy?" Six smiled slyly on the inside; maybe I could stay a while, free food. That and I can do some discovering here. Six nodded and jumped off the chair, following Van Kliess.
Hoped you guys liked it. I listened to 'Be Prepared' from The Lion King, while writing this. I can totally see Van Kliess as Scar. Oh, and I wrote a new Rex and Six story (father/son fluff) Called, 'Tombstone Diary'. Read it if you haven't all ready.
Anyways, please review and subscribe. Love you all!
