OWS - Part 4

PART 4

“… Caanadern to see our leader.”

“Your … leader?” Alwyn asked.

“Don’t worry, he’s nice. And hopefully he can help you out,” Lilac pulled out some keys from a pocket somewhere and jingled them.

“What exactly do I need help with?”

“He’ll explain THAT, too,” she smiled back at him.

‘Something just seems … off,’ Alwyn thought to himself as they continued to walk, now in the school parking lot. Whether it was the girl, or the strange man, or just the whole situation … Alwyn didn’t like it. Surprises where not his thing, anything sudden and unknown scared him.

So this definitely terrified him.

‘I hope Rhys is alright,’ Alwyn thought.

*************************************************

Rhys lay on the ground.

In pain, confused, and slightly amazed.

But he didn’t have time for that. ONE of them had won, and was now making his way over to him.

Rhys shakily stood up, clutching his ribs.

“You’re coming with me now, Alwyn Jones,” the young man said, wiping blood from his nose.

“Doesn’t look like I’ve got much of a choice, specially after you two fought over me. I’m the prize, no?” Rhys glared at the young man in white who chuckled at his comment.

“You really shouldn’t be so malice towards me, I’m your friend.”

Rhys snorted, “Right … because I know and trust you SO well.”

The young man stared at Rhys for a few moments, looking him in the eyes, trying to decide the best way to deal with him.

“I know what you just saw was strange, and unexplainable,” he began, “and you don’t trust me, but I need you to come to me.”

“Again, no choice.”

“How about, we start over?” the man in white asked, holding out his hand. “I am Psy.”
Rhys didn’t move to take his hand, but he relaxed, feeling maybe he could trust this person.

“I don’t know what’s going on, so I’ll have to trust you … for now,” Rhys said, finally taking the young man’s hand.

“You’ll understand everything after we get you back to head quarters.”

“And where’s that?”

“It’s a secret of course,” the young man winked, and looked around, “Hopefully my companion got your brother, we should go and meet up with them at HQ.”

“Alwyn is involved, too?” Rhys asked, shocked.

“Alwyn?” the young man looked at Rhys … now confused. “Aren’t YOU Alwyn?”

“Psy!” someone suddenly called out.

They both turned to see a tall figure in a big trench coat stagger towards them.

“Black-Out? What happened?” Psy asked, running to his companion.

“Lilac happened,” Black-Out hissed. “She got the boy …”

“Who’s got Alwyn?!” Now Rhys was alarmed. The OTHER people had his brother.

“Wait …” Black-Out began, but Psy cut him off with a wave of his hand.

“Are you not Alwyn?” he asked again.

“… no,” Rhys swallowed,  “I’m actually Rhys.”
