Sunlight broke through and the room held a bright glow. I rolled over and was blinded by the light. Guess it was time to wake up.
Yesterday I told everyone about what Jason said. They all were a bit shocked but Samuel said he will find out who wants me and it might have to do with why Fire wants me.
I got out of bed and check my phone. Nothing form Fire, at least that was good. I went to go take a shower and just as about to put my shirt on someone knocked on the door.
“Come in” I yelled ,so they could hear. I quickly put on my shirt and the door slowly opened and on the other side was Ally’s mother.
I roughly remember her being with Alaster but we never officially met, and I was glad it was that way. Guess its goi ng to change today.
I walked over to her and extended my hand. “Harry” I said and Ms. Todd shook it. “I think you already know mine.”
I nodded. Mrs. Todd walked pass me and looked around the room. For a boy I would say it was rather clean but Mrs. Todd didn’t say anything and just sat on one of the chairs.
She sighed and looked up at me. “I wanted to come here, to say thank you. What you are going to do for Ally,” Mrs. Todd stopped suddenly and I can see her eyes getting wet. I really hope she wasn’t going to cry,
“It means a lot to me, thank you.” She got up and hugged me. I was taken a back a little but I didn't let go. I think she need it more then me.
When she was done she smiled at me, “Okay then, I don’t want to take up your time, good luck and please bring Ally back.”
“I will, Mrs. Todd.” I replied and she smiled. She was about to head to the door but then she turnedback, “You didn’t happen to see Natalie did you??” she asked me.
I shook my head. “Noo, not since last night.” Io replied. Mrs. Sane look worried for a second but then she smile again. “I guess she stayed here then. I am going to go look for her. Thank you Harry.”
“No problem Mrs. Todd.” I replied as she left. I shut the door behind her and collapsed on one of the chairs.
I still had to get dress,I thought to myself. I walked over to the mirror and pulled out my accessories drawer. It was filled with nice shiny, daggers, guns, and a few short swords.
I went with the daggers since they were small and easier to hide. When I thought I was fully armed I was getting ready to walk out when my phone beeped.
I sighed. Who is it know? I walked over to the nightstand and turned on my phone and saw it was from Jason.
Twice in a week? What did Jason need to say know? I opened up the text message and read.
“Idiot !Why would you be walking though the Dungeons, when you know Unwants are looking for you! Didn’t I tell you about this to keep you safe?”
I was confused. I wasn’t walking through the Dungeons. Its a little alley way where “thug” Unwants like to hang around on. I use to go there all the time to get things for Alaster like potions and such since that stuff is sold there. No way was I there though. I haven’t step a foot in there for a long time.
I texted back saying exactly that but he didn’t reply back. Guess he made a mistake. I walked out the door ,almost running into Will who looked very angry. “What the hell man” Will said as he brought up his fist and was about to punch me, but I easily step sided and blocked it.
As I was there holding his wrist I replied. “What!” It was still only morning,I thought fighting happens after a bowl of cerel. “Why did move up the meeting?” WIll said angrily.
I dropped Will wrist and stood there confused. “I did no such thing. I was sleeping.”
Will looked like he was going got punch a wall again but Samuel came walking down the hallway. “I think you guys need to see this.”
I followed Samuel not wanting to be Will punching bag. He led me to a surveillance room that was very tricked out.There were cameras on the whole front of the room! “So what exactly is this?” I asked.
Samuel looked up at me. “What else? We are surveilling the meeting location.” Will came in and was a bit amazed as well.
“So what did you find?” Will asked. “This.” Samuel typed things on the computer and one of the plasma’s backed up until he stopped. “This was taken a few minutes ago.” I looked closer and it played and someone came walking in to the clearing.
Samuel paused. “There.” Samuel said pointing to the figure. “Seems familiar?” Samuel asked as Will and I both looked.
It took me a minute but then it hit me. Will looked at me with wide eyes. I was shocked and looked at Samuel.
“You no that isn’t me! I am right here!” Samuel looked at me but I knew he didn’t believe me.
“Will was beating me a few minutes ago! I can’t be at two places at once.” I replied looked room Samuel to Will.
They both were giving me distrusting looks. “You can if you use the transformation potion.” Will answered.
I started at them both. “I’m Harry!Look!” I pulled up my sleeve to show my tattoo of the symbol for Fire and snap my fingers causing a flame to erupt.
“See, I’m not lying.” Samuel slowly shook his head. “Yes you may be , Harry could have gotten someone who is an actual Fire, to take his place. We all now he isn’t stupid.”
“I am right here!Come on Samuel! Its me!” I looked at Samuel with all my innocence. Why would he think I was lying. Didn’t I prove to them that I can be trusted..
“We are sorry whoever you are but we are going to have to prove it.” Will said and the next thing I knew two Guardians came up behind me and made me sallow this horrible drink.
“Wh..at..th..e..he…ll” I said following the horrible crap. “Sit him over there. The drink will take effect soon.” Samuel commanded.
I didn’t even get to chair before my boy started to convulse. It felt horrible, like bones were trying to break but then slowly it stopped and I was staring at Will and Samuel.
“Sorry about that Harry. We had to make sure its really you.” Will said looked happy for himself.
I gave Will a dity look,since he looked to happy with himself. “So if I am here, then who is that.” Ireplied getting up and brushing myself off.
“I think I have your answer.”
Everyone in the room turned to look at the door where Mrs. Todd was standing with a sticky note.
“I was looking for Natalie and well I found this.” Mrs. Todd handed the sticky over to Samuel who let us all see it.
“I’m sorry but I have to do this. Harry has done a lot for me and its only fair if I repay him. If this is the last time I see you then I would like to say my goodbyes.
Mrs.Todd You were like a second mother to me .Please tell my parents I love them. Will, thank you for making my friend happy. Samuel keep leading. Your amazing and don’t let anyone tell you other wise. Finally Harrry..thank you for everything you have done for me.”
Love,
Natalie
The room was silent all thinking about Natalie. She doesn’t deserve to die. “Okay, well no way in hell am I letting something happen to Natalie so who in here is ready to take Fire down once in for all!” I yelled.
Samuel and Will both looked at me and smiled. “All Guardians get ready to move out. I want every available weapon we have. Meet at the front gate in 10 minutes!” Samuel yelled.
The room got to moving and once all the guardians were gone it left Samuel, Mrs. Todd ,Will and I left. “You know she used a transformation potion.” I said more as a fact. “A friend o f mine said I was in the Dungeons this morning.”
Mrs. Todd sighed. “I didn’t even know she new that existed.” Mrs. Todd let her head hand. Will went over to her and patted her shoulder. “Its okay, none of us new what exactly Alaster did to her, but she isn’t going tot die okay. I’m not going to let anything to her, Mrs. Todd.”
Mrs. Todd looked up into Will eyes and for a second I thought she was Ally. “Thank you Will, I am going tot go talk to Lucas to see what we can do.”
Samuel nodded. “Good idea Mrs. Todd.” Mrs. Todd looked at us one more time before she walked out.
“I have to go Samuel. please let me go first.” I said with determination. No way was I going to let Natalie take my place.
“I have to go to Samuel. Its Ally we are talking about here.” Will also said. Samuel looked at the both of us.
“If I let you guys go, you have to promise me something.” Samuel began and Will and I both nodded. “Don’t die,” he finished.
Will and I both looked at each other and went over there an hugged Samuel. “Not all promises can be kept Samuel.” Will replied quietly.
