Chapter 7......Scaleaha

A thin shaft of light slides over my face.

I groan.

Another beam bounces towards me before crossing my face sending a ray of light onto my eyes.

They flick open.

I slam my body upwards, my eyes wide.

'Where am I' I think.

'Is this a dream or something?'

"Ah...your awake." My father says walking towards me.

"Where am I and why are you alive...your meant to be dead! Not to mention Malanao and Kanyanta!" I scream.

"Don't your remember," He asks smoothly.

"NO!"

"Now, let me explain this to you. I never died or was sick; and Kanyanta never really ran away. Well he did but not fully. He came here, to help me."

To help you with what?" I ask sulkily.

"I'm coming to that" He slickly replies.

"And Malanao...what's he doing here?"

"He's here with us working on our.....project."

"But I killed him!"

"Oh did you now. What if I told you we had strung a small black net up twenty centimetres from the ground!"

"But When I went to check his pulse there was no net!"

"No. That's because when you were climbing down the wall we removed the net and moved him slightly to make it less obvious."

"But when I felt his wrist for a pulse there was none!"

"Ah that's where you were wrong! We had places a thin padded layer on his wrist. We made sure it looked like skin but we didn't have to worry too much because it was dark...anyway you couldn't fell his pulse through that causing you to think he was dead!"

"Okay, okay, I've been fooled but tell my this now! What are you doing here!"

"Were going to fix the world! Remove that vile stone Scaleaha and whoever has got it then destroy it."

"Do you even know what the stone does?" I ask bitterly.

"Why yes I do. It controls humans input to the world. If that stone wasn't there there would be no bush no animals and humans could have an entire planet to themselves!"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Hang on a second Missy...how do you know about the stone"

He glances at my wrist where the silk pouch hangs.

"GET HER!!!!!" He calls!

I sprint off down a tunnel going left and right in a maze of confusion.

Guards bounce at my tail getting closer and closer to me.

I see the entrance in front of me.

'Would the guards follow me outside?' I think.

A guard reaches out to grab me but I find myself falling through a hole.

Into a dungeon.

Sorry about the wait...this isn't a very good chapter but hopefully tomorrows might be a bit better!

Go Scaleaha!
