Chapter 4
Back to Nick's POV
I sat in the dark cell thinking about King
Yukon's words. I heard noises from above as I looked up, I saw Brian hanging
from the vent. I stood up as he lowered his hand down.
"Grab my hand and I'll pull you up"
Brian said as I jumped and grabbed his hand. We started to get pulled up by the
other guys that were pulling on the rope. I finally reached the vent opening
and pulled myself up.
"You'll need these" Kevin said as he
handed me a gun, bullets and a knife.
"Thanks" I said as I put the knife
in the pocket in my pant leg and the gun and bullets in my jacket pocket.
"Do you know where they have Aaron?"
Kevin asked me as we started to crawl in the vent quickly but quietly.
"He's in a room on the side of the
palace, I'm not sure which one" I said as Kevin stopped.
"Shhh" He said as he put his ear
against the vent and heard voices.
"But father how can you use an innocent
kid to get just another warrior?" King Yukon's daughter Katrina asked as
he looked at her sharply.
"I can do whatever I want, I am the king
am I not!" King Yukon yelled as he smacked Katrina and she fell to the
ground. I felt the sheet of metal I was kneeling on start to make noises and
fall from under me. I landed on the floor on my back next to where Katrina was.
"Guards!" King Yukon yelled as I
scrambled to my feet. "Arrest this
prisoner"! He yelled as I ran out into the hall, King Yukon hot on my
trail. I stopped abruptly as I saw the royal guards come running up the way I
was heading. I took the gun out of my jacket pocket and loaded the bullets in
quickly. I made sure my aim was good and pulled the trigger of the gun towards
the royals, shooting one of them. I kept on pulling the trigger rapidly,
hitting the royals while they were running towards me. I went into mypocket for
more bullets but found none. I dropped the gun and opened the pocket on my pant
leg. I took the knife out and threw it at the last guard to be standing,
hitting him right in the chest. The guys ran over to me as I noticed King Yukon
had disappeared.
"Aaron!" I yelled as I ran to the
docking center, where the guard had took me from before. I ran to the doors as
I looked through the small glass window where I saw Yukon holding onto Aaron
dragging him onto a ship. I tried opening the door but found it was locked. I
kicked it opened and it flew open. Yukon spotted me running towards them as he
closed the door closed just as I was about to reach them. The spacecraft lifted
into the air, throwing me down on the ground from the power and energy of it.
"AARON!!!" I screamed as the
spacecraft flew away before my eyes. Tears stung the back of my eyes as the
guys caught up me.
"We need to get to the spacecraft, well
be able to locate where there going from there." Kevin said as we all ran
to the spacecraft. I went to the cockpit with Kevin, he pressed a few buttons
and a map showed on the screen with a little dot representing the spacecraft
Yukon and Aaron was on.
"there heading towards another planet far
from here , Yukon's using Aaron to lure us away from the other royals"
Kevin said as I looked at him.
"But were still going after them
right?" I asked as Kevin nodded his head. He pressed a few more buttons.
"Sit down Nick" He said as I felt
the spacecraft elevate pushing me down into the seat before I had a chance to
sit. The spacecraft flew forward as it went into hyper drive and flew quickly
towards the planet aaron would be held captive on.
