Kenny/Hilary: Here is the chapter 20!

"…" Speak

'…' Thinking

Flashback/Dream


Chapter 20

They all look up to where they had heard the voice. It was no other then Boris, he smiles evilly at them from the balcony. Kai, Tala, Ian, Bryan and Spencer glare at him with eyes full of hate. They still remember all the pain and the suffering Boris had caused them when they were younger.

"What do you want Boris?" Tala demands coldly.

Boris raises an eyebrow at him. "I hope you haven't damaged your head, Tala, but I think it's quite obvious what I'm after. Give me back Snow and while you are here give me her bitbeasts."

Kai points his gun at Boris and pushes the trigger, but sadley he misses with an inch from his head.

Boris looks amused at Kai. "Did you really think that you would hit me with a bullet?"

Ian mutters under his breath. "We could hope."

"You are going to pay for what you did to Aurora!" Tyson yells to Boris. The others hold their guns tightly and are ready to shoot if they have to.

"What do you want with Aurora anyway?" Ray asks Boris, while holding Aurora more thightly in his arms. He is curious why so many people are after her, he concludes silently that if they find out why then they can protect her better.

"Why should I tell you that?" Boris looks at them as he raises an eyebrow at them. "You have to find out for yourself, though I'm not going to let any of you out of here alive anyway."

"Enough of this!" Kai shouts and starts to shoot at Boris, as Boris duck down to avoid getting hit. They all start to run for the door they were going to. They all hope that they are going in the right direction after they run through the door.

Boris rises up from the ground and chuckles evilly. "So you think you can escape from here? Don't think so." He mutters and walks to the wall and opens it up to a controll room. He walks in and pushes a button on the control panel. "Let see if you survive this."

Tyson, Bryan, Kai, Tala, Max, Spencer and Ray run through the corridors and hopefully they find the way out there. But there is a problem; every corridor they turn to look same! How the hell did Boris' henchmen find their way in this fucking place?!

Then Tyson takes a sharp turn around a corner and suddenly stops and makes rest of them fall down on the ground, expect Ray since he was behind all of them and managed to stop in time to see that others had fall down.

"Tyson! You fool! Why the hell did you stop?!" Ian demands to know, when he suddenly notices how white his face is. Tyson points forward and when Ian looks past him he too suddenly turn white.

"What's wrong?" Tala demands to know. "We don't have time for this!"

"We got a huge problem guys." Ian says. They can all hear that he is scared.

The rest of the gang look past Ian and Tyson and turn pale. In front of them are an army of some kind of robots, they don't look friendly either.

"Those are the robots we saw!" Max exclaims. The others' eyes widen, though Kai's eyes narrow.

"Boris knew we where coming here."

Tala understood." That explains why he didn't try to stop us."

"Uh.. Guys we have to move. NOW!" Tyson yells. The others hear the click and start to run to another corridor near by as the robots start to shoot after them. Ian, Spencer, Bryan and Tala start to shoot backwards, at the same time they have to run, so they have to hope that they hit one of the robots. When they turn another corner they had to stop. It's a dead end!

Ray kneels down to feel Aurora's pulse, he mutters some curses when he feels that it has become weaker. "Guys! We have to hurry. I don't think Aurora has much time left."

Max' eyes widen. "You mean..." Max trails of, it wasn'r any point to say it they all knew deep inside. Ray nods and the others look grimely.

"Well, if we don't find a way out of here then it doesn't matter if she's alive at all, we are as good as dead." Ian mutters darkley.

"Don't say that! We got to find a way out!" Max exclaimes.

"Well what do you suggest genius?!" Ian asks sarcastically.

Before any of them get to say anything, the robots are in front of them. The robots manage to shoot at them before they have any time to react. Then suddenly an invisible shield is in front of them and makes the bullets fall down on the floor.

They blink when a person with a black cape lands in front of them. Kai's and Max' eyes widen as they recognize the stranger. They had seen that stranger in the cave they had fallen into not so long ago!

"It's you!" Max points at him as he shouts. "What are you doing here?!"

The stranger doesn't turn around to look at them, but answers while he holds up the shield. "To save the only one who can save the world from eternal darkness."

Everyone look blankly at him and wonder what the hell he is talking about. Max and Kai twitch as they hear what he is saying. 'What is it with him and riddles?!' Well, they assume it is a he. Then he chants something in a weird language and a beam of light hits the robots, destroying them.

"You all have to run out of this building now, while I'm distracting them." The stranger says, and makes some movement with his hand; a bubble of light came out of thine air. "Follow this and it will show you the way out of here."

"Why should we trust you?" Ian demands to know, as he looks at the stranger with distrust in his eyes.

"What other choice do you have?" He had a point, they don't have any choice; they have to do as he says. If not Aurora is going to die. "I'm going to make a way past the robots, run when you see the way." Then the stranger starts to attack the robots so fast that none of them can follow his movements, not even those who is trained in speed or anything like that. When they see a path they start to run like they had hell hounds after them. Though they wonder how that bubble of light could be so fast, but they follow. Suddenly another army of robots stands in front of them, but it was another type of robots.

"What is it with Boris and his fucking robots?!" Ian almost screams. Before they have time to react, a black shadow flies over them and attacks the robots.

"Don't stop. Don't look back. Just continue running if you want to save her." They hear the stranger say calmly to them as they continue to run for the exit, wherever it is. They follow the light bubble-thingy and when they meet new a robot-army the stranger is in front of them again and destroys the robots. Though, Ian, Bryan, Spencer and Tala shot some of them before he destroyed them.

Ray was worried. For while they had been running he had listened to Aurora's breath, to make sure she was alive, but he almost couldn't hear it anymore. When they stop for a minute, he has to bow his head down to her mouth to hear or feel her breath. It isn't (wasn't) even strong enough to move a straw of hair, so he quickly checks her pulse and turns pale when he feels how low it is. This only means they are almost out of time to save her from death's door. What had that bastard done to her to make her body ready to collapse any given moment? Kai looks at them with no emotion in his face, but deep down in his ice cold heart he is worried for her and knows that they don't have much time. So he makes everyone run much faster and finally they see the exit. They start to run towards the door and through it. Finally outside they don't stop before they are sure they are safe.

Suddenly they hear footsteps running towards them. Everyone expect Ray point their guns at the persons, but luckliy for them it's just Hilary and Kenny. Hilary and Kenny had noticed that they had come out of the building. Half an hour before they had come out, the guards had run in to the buildning as if something was wrong. Hilary gasps when she see the (?) unmoving Aurora.

"What happened to her?" She whispers to them, as tears gather in her eyes.

"Boris happened." Tala just says to her as he looks over the place, hoping that there aren't any guards of any kind around here.

Ray is more concentrated on Aurora, he has to make sure that her heart doesn't stop, but his instinct tells him that they are out of time. He lays his ear over her heart and hears it faintly make some sound, but suddenly it stops. Ray looks up in horror at her, and starts to use CPR(sp?).

"Ray what's wrong?" Max asks him worriedly when he sees Ray's face. He is also scared.

"Her heart stopped." He says; busy trying to rescue her. Everyone else turns around and looks at him, shocked, Kai's eyes widen and for the first time in several days they all can see his feelings in his eyes. Ray continues for several minutes, as Hilary, standing behind him, cries on Tyson's shoulder.

Suddenly a shadow stands over Ray and Aurora. Ray only briefly looks up and notices that it's the same guy from the warehouse. The stranger kneels down on the other side of Aurora and lays a hand over her necklace and then he speaks to Ray in a soft tone. "You did it well, chosen by the tiger, let me do the rest." His hand starts to glow faintly in a green and white glow over her heart and her necklace also glows faintly in response of his touch. The others look at them and hope beyond all hope that she is going to survive, if not then nothing would be the same anymore.

'So dark... Why is everything so dark?' Aurora thought as she felt her self float in the dark abyss of nothingness.

'Where is everyone?.... Where is this place?' Aurora opened up her eyes and looked around to see nothing but the darkness. She felt so cold, there wasn't any warm in the dark abyss.

'What's going on? What happened?' She asked and asked many times but no answers were given to her in the dark abyss. She pondered but suddenly she felt pain in her heart and immediately had her hand there, her eyes widen when she finally remembered what had happened to her. She let a tear fall down to the ground; she knew she was dying. Either that or she was already dead.

Then there came a light in front of her. She blinked and looked at it weridly, then she remembered what people sometimes joke about.... what was it again? Wasn't it something about never to walk toward the light? She looked at the light and at the dark behind her before she made her decision. But before she could act at her decision she then suddenly heard a soft voice..... Calling her...

'Come back, my dear, come back to the living.... your time in the realm of mortal isn't over yet... you have so much to show this world, and the one you love so much need you so.'

Before she had time to answer, she felt a pair of strong arms around her, holding her close to a strong chest. She felt that the warmt of the arms and the voice was something she should recognize. Like she had felt and heard it before, a long time ago.

Then everything turned black once again and she didn't remember anything afterward.


Me: Well there yoou have it.

Everyone: Why did you make a cliffhanger?!

Me: Because it fit! Plus the next chapter is going to be longer. I just have to correct some grammar on it. At least I hope my friend will help me with this chapter will help me with the next one.
