AN: So as usual, I don't own MI High, nor anything you may recognise. I just own Demi. I promise you that something exciting will be happening in chapter 20, and that at least one of my characters will not make it through to see chapter 21. You can start your betting now on who it is.
2 days later, unknown location.
Milton was on edge today. Not to say that he wasn't always, having been working for the master for 15 years. But, there was something that said today was not going to be a good day. The master had called him into the Shadow Chamber, at lunch time, which was where he was heading now. "Ahh, Milton. Nice of you to join us." The master said. Oh, he had a visitor did he? Milton couldn't see their face, but he recognised the voice. "She fell for it, the stupid girl. Don't you worry master, soon you'll have her here. That stupid father of hers can't protect her, nor can her little friends." The guest said, as they they both laughed.
"Milton, you've been watching her. How can we get to her?" The guest said, pulling up his face so he was looking directly at her cold eyes.
"She seems very protective of her teammates. Maybe you should target the weakest one." Why did he say that? The girl was just a child! She didn't deserve to be stalked, attacked or targeted. "Excellent idea!" The master said, "That's the tech one isn't it? What's his name? Toby? Tim?"
"It's Tom, master." He didn't stand a chance.
"That's it! Milton, get the guards! Bring him to me!" Milton nodded, and left. He didn't want to but he had to sent the guards off. Maybe, there was a way to warn the girl. But why would she trust him? Then it occurred to him, they had the mother! Entering the dungeon, he arrived at her cell. He knelt down next to her, and said, "Tell me about your daughter." She looked up.
"What? I haven't seen her for 14 years. And why should I tell you?" Milton sighed.
"I'm trying to help her! Do you want her to end up here, locked up like you?" She shook her head.
"What do you want to know?" She said, quietly.
"Tell me everything you know. I want her to trust me, so I can warn her about the threat to her boyfriend, or whatever he is." She smiled,
"She has a boyfriend? What's he like?"
"I don't know him, but he seems nice. Very good with technology. His name's Tom." She smiled,
"Sounds like her father. Anyway, I'll tell you what I know..."
After listening to her tale come to a close, Milton got up. "Thank you Amy. I promise that I'll try my hardest to keep her out of danger." She smiled.
"Thank you Milton." Milton smiled back, before leaving as the dungeon doors locked. He had promised to keep her safe, and Milton was the kind of man who kept his promises, whatever the price.
At St Hearts School.
I was sat back at school, listening to McNab talk about poetry when the receptionist knocked on the door. "Sorry to interrupt, but I have someone on the line for Demi London? They said it was important." Confused, I got up and left the room. She handed me the phone and I answered,
"Hello?"
"Is this Demi London?"
"Yes. Who's this?"
"My identity does not matter Miss London. I am calling to warn you about the threat on your life."
"What? What threat?"
"KORPS are still after you. But this time it's not just you they're after, it's your boyfriend."
"He is not my boyfriend! But why are KORPS after Tom?"
"To get to you. Look, I have to go. I'm sorry."
"What? Hello? Hello?" But all that met me was the dialling tone. Sighing I hung up. Guess I wasn't as safe as I thought.
AN: And I'm going to leave it there! So, I hope you enjoyed!
