Chapter 27:

Ross's POV

I was walking down to street to find Barbara when I saw the crowd of people standing around the body on the floor. I ran over to them. I pushed through the crowd. Some recognised me and swung and cursed at me. They mostly missed, but the ones that made contact hurt and a couple of times I was nearly dragged to the floor by someone, each time cursing myself for not being more careful. When I had finally broken through the crowd of people I saw Edililo. I quickly checked his pulse. He was fine. The handcuffs Daniel were in, were on the ground and Edililo's gun was gone.

"Shit. You are not going getting away." I thought furiously as I ran back through the crowd and down towards the highway.

But of course because I had no such luck, Dekka saw me. She didn't know I was innocent yet. Immediately she cut the gravity. I cursed and shouted at her. She laughed at me.

"You're lucky. I still have my leg. Lana said they might've had to amputate it if it had been more burnt. So I'm not going to kill you." She said, spine chillingly calm, as she walked back the way I had just run bringing the anti-gravity field with her,

"Please! You have to believe me. I did not do it! Daniel did and right now he is running away." I pleaded, trying to formulate a plan in my head.

"I'm not stupid Ross! You did it. You were the running away that day, not Daniel!" She shouted, still unconvinced.

"I swear I did not do it! I have to go after Daniel, right now." I shouted back at

"Show me some evidence. Show me that Sam trusts you!" She shouted sounding very agitated. I thought for second.

"Let me down and I will show you! I can't get to pocket like this." I said back. She thought about it for a second, then coming to a decision, let me down.

Instead of taking out the phone Sam had given me though, I shot two jets of flames at her legs and hands. She fell to the ground screaming in pain and cursing me again.

'Sorry." I said sheepishly as I ran last her burnt body as she tried to cut the gravity from under me, but failing to do so.

This time I got to the highway. I ran for about two more minutes. Then I heard a scream come from the left of the road. I turned off. I ran for about three more minutes. The I saw Daniel, with that boy with the whip arm I saw the very first day. Drake. That was his name. I shot at them.

"Oi!" I said walking slowly towards them. A smile seemed to form on drakes face, as all the blood drained from Daniels face.

"And who would you be." Drake said smiling evilly as he unwrapped his whip from around his waist.

"Give me Daniel." I said trying to sound confident but failing.

I had heard many stories about Drake and how he nearly killed Sam at the power plant. So really I was terrified of going up against him. Daniel walked over to Drake and said something to him.

"Another four bar! This is great, I love beating the most powerful people. It's always fun to see them beg for me to kill them." He said laughing a laugh that sent a chill down my spine.

I put my hands up as he whipped put his whip. It missed my left hand by a tiny distance. I shot my flames at him. They got him in the chest and staggered back but didn't fall. He whipped out again, this he caught me on the chest. I could feel blood seep out of the cut made. I didn't fall over. I shot at him again and again and again as he whipped his whip at me. I made contact once but he made contact twice, once on my left shoulder and once on my leg. During all of this i didn't see Daniel run over and pick up the gun, so when I turned to see where he was he had Edililo's gun pointed at my head. That was when I began to truly panic. Drake took this opportunity and whipped out at me. It made heavy contact with both my legs and I fell to the ground. Drake then proceeded to walk over to me and whip my chest, arms and legs until I was curled into a ball on the ground, crying.

"Now, do you want me to kill you?" He said beginning to laugh at my pain again.

"No." I cried trying to sound brave.

"Wrong answer." He growled as he whipped out the whip again.

This time though it didn't hit me. When I looked up I saw a red-headed girl poke a machete through Drake. It took me and few seconds to realise that it was Brianna. I groaned, as I tried to get up. I shot at Drake again. It hit. Drake took a second to realise that he wasn't going to win. He turned around, grabbed Daniel and began to run into the wilderness. Brianna turned to me.

"I can't run back to town with you." She said to me.

"Is it that hard for you to walk. I can bearly stand up straight." I moaned.

"Fine. Come on." She sighed, putting an arm around my shoulder to help me walk.

"You're Brianna aren't you." I said as we walked back onto the road.

"Ya, and you're Ross." She said to me smiling.

"Ya. I suppose everyone knows me." I said angrily, crushing Daniel in my head.

"Ya, for all the wrong reasons as well." She said to me. I went quiet for a few minutes then something caught my eye.

"Wait. Over there. It looks like a person." I said looking towards the fallen person. Brianna and me stumbled over. It was a badly burnt kid. Looked like he had been through hell and back.

"Oh shit. What the hell happened to you." I said, eyes wide with shock as I nudged him with my good foot.

He groaned. Then his eyes opened. I looked at Brianna. She sighed, then helped him up and helped us both walk back to the town. By the time we got there it had taken over ten minutes to walk a two minute walk. Sam and Caine were there running towards us. Sam's face paled when he saw me.

"Drake." He said to me. I nodded.

"You ok?" Caine asked.

"Ahm. Ya I think so." I said sarcastically.

"Roger! Is that you." Sam asked to the burnt boy. He nodded.

"Brianna, get them both to Lana. Now." Sam said.

"But Sam..." Brianna began to complain.

"Just do it Brianna!' Sam shouted.

"Fine whatever." Brianna muttered angrily.

"Ross, when you are done I want not talk to you in my office." Sam said

"Ya , fine." I grumbled.

"Brianna. When the both of them,are with Lana, go get Edililo. He's going to want to know about this." Sam said as Brianna led me and roger away.
