Chapter 8
Return to Skystead
They nearly forgot to report back to the mayor when they got back to Skystead! They were having so much fun! When they finally (meaning half of a bag of Skittles and two sodas later) they knocked on the mayors door. They were let in and they explained what had happened. "Can I see these crystals?" The mayor asked. The group looked at each other. Should they show him the crystals? What if he takes them and goes power hungry? They realized they couldn't trust anyone. Not until they knew all the secrets of the crystals. "W… We do…don't ha…ha… have them," Aidan said. "We were in too much of a rush to take them." Aidan finished. The mayor nodded and they started to walk out when they were blocked by two guards. "We know you have the crystals," The mayor said "You are just being selfish and greedy!" The mayor yelled. "Lock them up!"
"I can't believe this is happening!" Kaz exclaimed. "No, no, no. NO! We got so far and now were here!" Kaz yelled "And we can't get out!" Kevin added. "Are you forgetting something?" Aidan said pointing towards Kaz. "No. I already tried that… They most have put something in the food." Kaz said knowing what Aidan meant. "They have a visitor?" a voice echoed from above their cell. The cell was a simple cell with iron bars and a 'window' at the back. The voice – they concluded – was coming from the 'window'. "Yes. He says his name is uh… Nathan." A strong voice said. "He looks good in the books – rich man -. Let him through." The voice said. They soon heard footsteps coming towards their cell. The jail (if you could even call it a jail) was small and there cell was closest to the door into the 'jail'. A guard walked into sight with Nathan soon behind. "You have a visitor." The guard said and walked away mumbling "I hate my job…" Nathan waved at them. "Nathan, what are you doing here?" Brayden said. Nathan took out a hidden knife and smiled.
