Jamie and Syelina 13


“Ok men, get ready to bust in!” commanded one of the Organization’s generals. The small troop readied itself by drawing their weapons. Each one was specially designed for that individual soldier, right down to the very last gram of steel. They were also specifically designed to work the best against a specific element.
“On my count, men. 3, 2…”
He never got to one. The dark mist suddenly disappeared and five blurs rushed out and started their attack.
The Organization’s men had barely enough time to raise their weapons and defend themselves against the sudden onslaught. Confusion erupted among them, which cost them precious time. Three of the soldiers were already down by the time the troop started fighting back.
Jamie had started to take them down using his third eye, as well as calling whatever servants had escaped the Organization’s grasp to come to him. Syelina stole the breath out of every soldier that neared her, and then flung them at the stonewalls where the soldiers lay stunned for a while. Nai was in rapid combat with at least three soldiers, her flames and wicked smile made the men shiver and cower as if she was a demon straight from hell. Sebastian disappeared into darkness, only reappearing behind unsuspecting soldiers where he knocked the weapons out of their hands and then punched them unconscious. Annik cracked her whip, letting it coil around the soldiers’ feet, yanking them towards the wall and holding them in place using ice.
Everything went without a hitch. Within minutes, all the soldiers were either unconscious or immobile. The Puppets sheathed their weapons and Jamie covered his eye again.
As the group started to leave the room, one of the men fixed to the wall spat under his breath. “Screw you, and damn you all to the most torturous death imaginable. Kuro is going to kill us because of your fools. Just kill us now.”
No sooner did those words leave his mouth that Syelina was by his side, uncomfortably close. “Hm, now what did I just hear come out of your mouth?” she asked, her voice soft yet frightening. Her finger traced down the soldier’s cheek, deceivingly gentle. Annik and Nai felt shivers crawl down their spines. The soldier was shaking, but he held his head up high.
“I said, Screw you and damn you all,” he repeated. The soldier tried hard to not show his fear, but it was all too visible in his eyes.
Syelina chuckled. “I heard that part, young one. The sentence right after that one. Repeat it for me please.”
Annik realized how young this soldier was. He was maybe a couple of year older than her, even less. She felt sorry for him. She wouldn’t want to get on that side of Syelina’s nature.
“I said to just kill us now, cause Kuro’s going to come and kill us anyways.” He squirmed the best he could, considering that most of his body was encased in ice.
“Ah, so you’re part of Kuro’s army,” Syelina hissed. He grabbed the soldier’s face. “Where is he?”
“Outside. With the rest of his army. He’s well guarded.” The soldier’s voice had started to crack with fear. Annik decided it was time to step in.
“Thank you, I think that’s enough information,” said Annik, and placed a restraining hand on Syelina’s shoulder. The air mistress tensed underneath. She released the soldier’s face and pulled Annik to her. “What are you doing, getting in my way?” Wrath made her eyes turn flat and dead.
“I’m trying to save you from throwing your life uselessly for revenge!” Annik hissed back. “I know you want to get your hands on Kuro, but we’re trying to escape right now.”
Annik shot a, “Help!” look at Jamie. In a couple of strides he was at Syelina’s side, dragging her along as they moved towards the door. “Don’t slow us down now, Syelina. Revenge is a dish best served cold, understand?” he said. “I want to get my hands on him too. Much more than you think.” 



It's been awhile! I know this is a bad part to end this chapter, but I had nothing else to write... I think I've been exhausting my brain doing both Puppetmaster and K and N Whenever-We-Can-Write Novels. I'll try posting more often!

Jamie and Syelina 12


Syelina and Jamie looked confused. Sebastian turned to look at them, his blue eyes scanned over the two. They were piercing and cold, completely without emotion. They looked unnatural at that moment, and it unnerved the others.
But Sebastian was quick in his analyzing of the two dark ones. He turned back to Annik and lifted his hand. A strange mist floated out in different colours, settling out on the floor. It started building upwards until a doppelganger of both Jamie and Syelina was created.
The others stared in wonder. “How did you know he would be able to do that?” asked Nai. “I didn’t even know that and I’ve known him longer than you have!”
Annik smiled. “It’s too much of a scientific explanation. You’d tire of it within 15 seconds.” She turns back to Sebastian. “Now make these illusions appear as if they were dead. And please hurry.”
“Ah. I see what you’re doing. Quite cunning,” remarked Jamie. “And he is quite skilled to be able to create such realistic copies.

Jamie and Syelina 11


Some time was spent debating on who should go in and tell the two dark ones to get outside and escape, but it was decided quite quickly that it would be Annik, Nai and Sebastian. Liera and Extreme were placed on guard duty outside of the door.
Annik led the way, as she knew the lay of the building slightly more than the others. Nai and Sebastian were close on her heels, and kept a sharp eye out for any of the zombie menaces.
As they approached the door, the voices that streamed out had softened compared to what Annik had heard earlier. No more bickering or things being smashed.
Slowly, inch-by-inch, the trio poked their heads through the doorway. The two dark ones seemed to be in deep conversation, but it didn’t look serious, which was surprising for the Puppets.
‘They almost look like they’re having fun,’ thought Annik, and chuckled quietly.

Jamie and Syelina 10


“What is taking her so long?” growled Nai, pacing back and forth, wearing a groove into the ground. “She better not have gotten herself in trouble!”
“Knowing her, I think she’ll be fine. Relax,” Extreme said, fiddling with his head phones. Nai looked over at him, and knew he was as worried as she was. She cuffed him on the side of the head, causing him to emit an undignified squawk.
“What was that for?” he asked rubbing his sore head. Nai had hit him harder then she intended, but she wasn’t going to tell him that.
“Stop the ‘I’m too cool to worry’ act, you idiot,” she grinned. “I can tell when you’re acting.”
Extreme was about to reply when Sebastian nudged Extreme in the ribs, and motioned for him to shut up. Then he pointed at the figure on horse back approaching them, and motioned for the animals to turn into battle form.
The figure stopped a few paces before them, and Nai noticed the emblem on his uniform. She shifted into an attack pose.
“Who are you with?” he barked at them. “With the traitor? Or the woman?”
