Chapter 6

Nero stared at the message on the wall for what seemed like hours but could only have been minutes. His head was spinning. Why would Otto have written HELP ME on the wall? It didn't make any sense. Unless...

"Get the door open." He said to the guards. One of them stepped forward and cautiously unlocked the cell. He swung the door back and Nero walked in, standing right in front of the boy who still hadn't moved.

"What's wrong with him?" The same guard asked, edging away.

"He's in some sort of trance."

"Like sleep walking? I heard that you're not supposed to wake a sleep walker." The man continued.

Nero ignored him and waved his hand in front of Otto's face. He didn't blink.

"Were you watching him the entire time?"

The guards looked down.

"No. We only noticed something was wrong when we heard screeching." One of them answered, avoiding the man's gaze.

Nero grit his teeth and turned back to the boy. He thought for a moment and then clicked his fingers in front of his face, not really expecting anything to happen. But to his surprise, Otto blinked and looked at him, frowning.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had a lesson to teach." He said.

"I just came to ask you some questions. First off are you alright? You've gone pale."

"Of course! I'm fine. Now is that all you wanted?" Otto asked, bemused.

"No. What have you been doing for the past hour?" Nero asked, watching the boy's reaction.

"You put me in a cell. What do you think I did?" Otto replied.

"What's in your hand?" The man continued.

"Nothing." Otto said.

"Are you sure?" Nero asked, eyebrow raised. The boy's eyes flicked down to his hand and he frowned at the screw that lay there.

"Where did you get it from?"

"I don't know! I must've found it on the floor." Otto said, trying to reassure himself.

"Did you use it by any chance?" Nero asked, arms folded.

"Use it? To do what?" Otto asked, frowning.

"Oh I don't know. Maybe to write a message on the wall." The man said, pointing to the side. Otto followed his hand and stared at the words. His mouth dropped open and he tried to say something that would make sense of what he was seeing.

"You wrote that. Do you know why?" Nero asked.

"I did not write that." Otto said. "I couldn't have. I was... I was sleeping. I couldn't have done that."

"You were sleeping? What? Standing up?" The man asked.

"Erm... Well yeah. It can happen. And one of the guards must've written that while I was sleeping. And planted the evidence on me." Otto said, trying to convince himself.

"Un Huh. So you were asleep through this then?" Nero said, taking the screw from the boy and running it down the wall. A horrible screech echoed around the room and they all flinched from the sound.

"I guess..." Otto whispered.

"Okay then. So you didn't do this?" Nero said.

"No." The boy replied firmly.

"Then let's have a look at the security cameras shall we?" Nero said, walking out into the corridor. He lead the way down to the table and Otto followed hesitantly.

"Get the footage up." He said to the guards and one of them hurriedly began tapping away at the keyboard. Within seconds a small grainy video feed came onto the screen and they all watched in silence.

On the monitor, Otto was sat on the bed. He was leaning foward and pulling at a screw in the framework. After a while, he got up, the screw in his hand and moved over to the wall, where he began to slowly carve out letters.

The guard paused the video and Nero turned to the boy beside him. His eyes were wide and he was licking his lips nervously.

"That's not possible." He was muttering.

"Yes it is. You did it subconciously." The man explained.

"Why would I be asking for help, subconciously?" Otto asked, his gaze turning to Nero. In his head he was replaying what Nero and Laura had said.

Any more ideas on how to find Rick?

He's your twin brother.

"I don't think it was you." Nero said.

"What? It's my invisible twin brother right? Rick?" Otto said, sarcastically.

"He's real."

"No he's not!" Otto said angrily. "I've been an orphan all my life. If I had family, I'd remember them."

"So you want proof?" Nero asked.

"I... " Otto gulped. Did he want proof? But the choice was already made for him.

The man was tapping away at the keyboard. He hesitated, thinking carefully about something and then seemed to come to a decision. When Otto next looked at the screen a new video window was up and playing.

It showed a room that he didn't recognise, one that he was sure he'd never been in. But nevertheless, he was there standing at some sort of pedastel. There was also Professor Pike and Raven.

Another boy suddenly walked in with a cat and as he turned Otto gasped. The boy looked just like him. The same eyes and face. His hair wasn't white though and it was longer.

"No..." Otto muttered. He turned to Nero who nodded silently back at the screen.

They watched as Rick was stopped by Raven and then as he walked over to his brother and began talking to him. Otto's eyes widened. Things were beginning to play out fast and before he knew it, they were watching as he was blown backwards by an electric surge from the pedastel.

"Laura was telling the truth." He whispered under his breath.

"What?" Nero asked, frowning.

"I'm ready to apologise to Wing. Can I go now?" Otto said, quickly.

"Erm... Okay. One of the guards will take you to your friends. But I want to talk to you later." Nero said.

"Yeah. Whatever." The boy replied. He set off for the door and one of the guards ran after him.

"Well... Things are getting interesting." The guard left behind said. Nero turned and glared at him. "Sorry."

Otto found Laura sat at a sofa in what the guard called the accommodation block. It was the first time that he'd seen so many people about and he realised that they were all students. This really was a school.

The boy walked up behind the girl, the guard leaving via the corridor, his job done. He stopped and considered. How would she react?

"How could you Otto?" A voice suddenly said from behind him. He spun around to find Shelby standing there.

"You hurt Wing. Look at him!" She commanded.

Otto turned to look at the taller boy who was standing beside her, hunched over, his legs slightly apart and grimacing.

"Sorry." He muttered.

Shelby sceamed and launched herself at him, knocking him over backwards. He crashed into the sofa and flipped over backwards, sprawling on his front, beside Laura. She was looking at them in surprise and he gave her a small smile.

"Help?" Otto asked, hopefully, glancing at the oncoming Shelby. She was welding a chair, Wing trying to stop her.

"Shelby. Stop!" Laura said forcefully. Her friend paused and then reluctantly dropped the chair.

"Thanks." Otto said, turning back to the girl. She gave him a weak smile and then punched him in the face.

Hope you all enjoyed it! :D R&R!
