Fifteen Journey - Chapter 25

“Cassey,… I’ve got to say you something…”
His sentence was cut when hearing a leaf-breaking sound, coming near. Rick pulled out his sword and waited. As for Cassey, she stared at the dense forest, feared something could happen. Then, another sound was heard. That person was running, away from them. Rick didn’t lose time: he started his follow. It was not long till he caught her. And the unpredictable thing happened.
It was a little girl, with her eights, short hair and strange clothes. Although the wood was really dark, he understood the situation.
‘No! I’ve been caught. What can I do now? If he discovers my true identity…’
He kneeled till they were facing eyes to eyes and enquired her.
“Are you lost, little girl?” he said with a cheerful mode. “You should be in your bed now! Don’t worry. I won’t tell your Mummy!”
The girl was stunned. Was he kidding her? That was the only possibility.
‘Let’s pretend…’
“Yeah,… chuif… and I can’t find the way back. Bou, I want to go home…” she said almost crying.
“You can stay in our camp this night, ok? Tomorrow, we’ll find your way back.” He told her smiling and went hand in hand with her.
‘My plan is working, eheh…’ she thought grinning evilly.
Back to the camp, they checked Cassey had woken up the other two teens.
“Hey, guys, this is…” Rick presented her “Hum, what’s your name?”
“Ahm, mmh, Edith” she said relieved.
“Edith, I’m Rick,” he said pointing to himself and then he pointed to his mates “This is Cassey” Cassey smiled at her “Fred…”
“You woke us because of a stupid girl? Let me sleep…” Fred yelled.
“Never mind, and this is Mike…”
‘Oh, oh…’
“What is this joke, Ashley?” Mike asked the girl.
“No,” Rick replied “Her name is Edith.”
“You can be fooled, but I can’t. This is Ashley Ruffel, number 4 from Tourch.”
Ashley was stunned as well as everyone else, except Horous who was still sleeping. Even Fred had stopped in his way to the tent. The guy who had been with her in the ceremony had discovered her secret.
“Number 4??!!” everyone asked.
Ashley bursted in tears.
“Why did you have to ruin my plan? Buaaa!!!”
“Stop, Mike. It’s ok…” Cassey tried to confort her.
“Let me go!”
Rick had to solve the situation while Mike was waking Horous up.
“Hey, Ashley, crying is no use. Come and sit us near the fire.” He suggested.
“I can’t. I know she will come after me again…”
“What do you mean as she?” Fred asked.
“Come on,” Rick objected “let’s get something for Ashley to eat. I’m getting hungry too!”
During the night, Ashley just ate what she was given. She would speak; at least that was what Rick hoped…
“What were you doing here in the middle of the night, after all?” Cassey asked Ashley.
She paused for a while choosing the best words to use.
“I’ve been trying to escape her for the last days, and today I managed to reach here. Then, I saw light and found your camp...”
“Who’s her?” Fred asked for the second time.
“Oh, she’s the one that defeated me…”
“You have been beaten?” Mike asked shocked.
She misled her face to the ground, embarrassed.
“Ashley,” Rick begged “can you give us any proof that you aren’t lying?”
“Oh, that I can. Check my arm.”
Ashley removed the long gloves and showed her arm to them. The four marked in it was grey.
“What does this mean?” Rick asked confused.
“It means that she is telling the truth.” Mike answered “If you see my arm, the three is grey too.”
Cassey and Fred, after checking, nodded to confirm.
Mike continued “It means the player isn’t in game anymore.”
Rick checked his arm too. He smiled at the shining blue colour it transmitted.
Ashley stared again at the floor regretting the lie she had said. What could she do to compensate her lie?
“Who defeated you?” Rick made that question for the third time that night.
“It was…” Ashley was about to answer when she shouted with horror pointing the forest “HER!!!”
Rick saw the eyes lead by anger; the ones belonging to the one who defeated Ashley. Annya.

Butterfly Mystery - Chapter 8

“What is this joke, Miss Williams?” William asked.
“I’ve discovered the culprit, and in…” she checked her clock “3 and a half minutes. I guess I’ll be staying here in the school bugging your work…”
“Spill it already!” he ordered “Who is the culprit?”
“Wait, I have some question for Miss Kant to answer.”
Julie was called and brought to the storage room.
“Miss Kant, I’ll be direct. How did you notice the robbery?”
“Well, I was checking the files and I noticed one was missing.”
“It’s kinda of weird, being checking these files, knowing they are the students’ files…”
“Well, we need to do that once a week.”
“So, how do you explain the chest was closed when we arrived here? The most normal thing you would do were call immediately the Security department, without worrying if it was open or close…”
“Well, I uhm… I didn’t want anything else to be stolen.”
“That is a response that I may accept but how do you justify that the thief stole exactly YOUR PROCESS?!!!”
“What?” William asked. The other boy was perplexed.
“Yes, Miss Kant discovered something incriminating and decided to hide it. Am I wrong,… Julie?”
“YOU STUPID BRAT, DON’T CALL ME JULIE!!!”
Julie fell to her knees.
“Yes, I did it. The idea of having a disciplinary process scared me; it was an obstacle for my entrance in the most prestigious universities in England. I had to do something…” then, Julie turned at Martha before being taken by the security department guards “You’ll pay, somehow…”
Martha stared sadly at her arrest to punish. It wasn’t good to make people suffer…

“Wow, I never thought an amateur would solve this case that easily.” William affirmed.
“That is your way to claim your defeat, isn’t it?”
“I NEVER SAID THE WAR WAS OVER!!!”
“Seesh, you’re such a bad loser…” Martha replied.
William was about to punch her when someone approached.
“So, how was the catch, chief?”
Rachel and Jammie, William’s secretaries, were waiting him.
“We have new business to treat, sir. Your help is needed.” Rachel replied.
William turned at Martha.
“Listen kid, don’t put yourself in troubles, it will be terrible for you.”
“Whatever you say… loser…”
Again, William’s wrist was stopped by his two assistants. Martha giggled while William was been carried by the two security agents.
“Hey, thanks…”
Martha looked at the speaker. It was that boy again.
“Thanks from what?”
“From what? If it wasn’t you, I would be now suffering punishment…”
“Forget that, you helped me too.”
“But…”
Martha put her finger in his lips.
“Shut up, the best thing you can do for me is to present yourself.”
He blushed and obeyed.
“I’m Dave Nicholson.”
Martha was now staring really concentrated at him, which made him blushed more.
“What are you doing?” he asked really embarrassed.
She exclaimed a scream of victory.
“Of course! I know you! You were the other boy that bumped me some weeks ago!”
“Yeah, I think so…”
‘I surely think so…’
“So, what were you doing to get that sweaty?”
Dave blushed again while trying to get the best way to explain her. However, she didn’t give him time.
“Oh, I’m super late! Bye, see you around!”
He waved at the flying butterfly…
‘I’ll definitely see you again…’

Thursday, oh, how did she hate Thursdays!!! At least it was the end of the day, it was some hours left.
This day seemed a little agitated, since she had seen an agglomerate of people in the corridor, next to the storage room. But the curiosity wasn’t enough to approach it.
“Hi, beautiful!”
Jennifer turned to the speaker.
“Oh, not you again…”
“Yes, it’s me, the irresistible Ted. So, how’s my beauty going?”
“Stop calling me that! We aren’t engaged now!”
“Bad mood, eh? Don’t worry, babe, I’ll fix it.”
He touched her face and brought her near to him.
“No, leave me alone!”
Jennifer turned away from Ted and bumped with someone in the corridor.
“Sorry, really sorry…” she apologised.
“That’s ok…”
Jen was stunned as her heart seemed wanting to go outside. Her stomach contracted and couldn’t thing with the speed of the heart. The boy…
“Dave! How you’re doing?” Ted asked.
“Pretty well, I guess. I need to go to the room now, homework to do. I’ll leave you and your love affair. And…” Dave turned at Jen “sorry about that. See you later!”
Jen saw the culprit of the high acceleration of her heart go away.
“Who is he?”
“Oh, he’s the guy who’s sharing room with me… So, where were we?...”
No, Jen wasn’t there anymore.
“These women, nowadays…”

Next Chapter:
Class trouble. This is the right choice.

Author’s Note:
This chapter is kinda of lame. I know, don’t blame me. This is supposed to be for kiddie girls but we don’t have any fan at that age. Anyway, enjoy the best you can and… comment!!!

Fifteen Journey - Chapter 24

That night was glamorous. The twinkling stars contrasted with the dark blue sky. Nature was celebrating.
It felt great to be full healed. He could now breathe and felt freer than ever, interact outside, where he belonged; he preferred open spaces.
“Let’s camp here!” everyone accepted Cassey’s suggestion “I’m beginning feeling tired.”
“Already? Come on, enjoy life while you can!”
“You have been sleeping for a day, Rick…”
Shut up, that was what she meant to say.
They had now been walking for 3 days, without destination. Although the three ex-players felt tired from so much walking, Rick shared his energy with the other. Both three were motivated to walk with his hope, life and spirit.
“Rick, get me some sticks.” Cassey ordered.
“Hey, Horous is the dog here!”
Both Mike and Horous glanced offended at Rick.
“I’ll go with you…” Fred replied trying to avoid another argument.
Fred suggested his company since he had other aims, and questions, to ask. They had walked for a while when Fred intervene.
“You lucky bastard!”
Rick was caught surprised. “Lucky?”
“Where did you get so much energy during the battle? I’m sure you cheated pretending you were weak and all…” Rick was stunned “Come on, admit it. You cheated.”
“No, I haven’t!!!”
“So, where did you get so much energy? That is scientifically incorrect,…”
“Hey, listen up” Rick gathered his courage “I did not cheat, and I don’t know where all that energy came from but the fact is that that happened. It’s a matter of trust. Do you trust me?” Rick waited firmly of his words.
“No, not yet. But I’ll give you time…”
The discussion ended here since their job was already finished. When arriving at the camping, the rage went away thanks to the graceful aroma of dinner.
The night went by, as well as the food. Rick hadn’t had this friendship ambient so lively before. All the friends he had in his villages were his families and the ones guilty of the fact that Rick was a Tourch player…
“You know, I have a really stupid story to tell you…” Rick started. Both three heard his speech while Horous was profiting his last bone “It was a loud night. Me and my mates were celebrating, like every end of week, and we got all drunk” Cassey glanced at Rick with an accusation look “It is why I’m here, they, somehow, convinced me to write my name and ask to participate in Tourch… If I hadn’t got drunk… I wouldn’t have to pass over all this…”
“It wasn’t that bad…”
Rick turned at Mike demanding an explanation.
“If you had never got drunk, we wouldn’t have known each other…” Mike explained “And you would have never rescued me when I needed.”
“And you would never have saved me countless times…”
Fred and Cassey looked perplexed. An apologising was occurring right in front of their eyes…
None word needed to be said more due too to the fatigue of the three ex-players. Rick, still full of energy, asked to make the first guard, who would be followed by Cassey, Fred and finally Mike. The others went to their tents and, for the first time, Horous fell asleep in Rick’s lap.
Rick’s conscience still wasn’t clear. He had to solve things with Cassey. Even if it seemed that he had been forgiven, he sensed she didn’t feel comfortable near him… Women…
His line of thoughts was interrupted by a leaf that landed on Rick’s nose, making him sneeze and perturb Horous’s sleep. Nature… Horiond was his country. His beautiful country. He felt proud of his origins, his country wasn’t as antiquated as Haliat and wasn’t as cruel as Veleniar. It was perfect. However, nothing is perfect. That was Rick’s fear; the pureness of Horiond could turn the country into a perfect discord. Horiond was a little boy, compared to the old-aged countries near it. And little boys are innocent, that is true, but they make a lot of mistakes too.
He shut his eyes for a while, to rest a bit, but it wasn’t long till he heard the sound of breaking leaves. Quickly, without opening his eyes to pretend he was asleep, Thynia was unfolded to the enemy, revealing him to be no more than Cassey.
“What are you doing? Do you want to kill me???”
“Oh, sorry!...” he apologised embarrassed.
“Guard change. Go to sleep.”
Cassey sat near the fire, still burning, preparing herself for the guard. Rick grabbed Horous and put him nearer the fire, stood up and waited for an order from his brain.
‘Talk to her.’
‘No, don’t talk. She will probably make you feel a fool!’
“What are you doing there, just staring at the floor?”
“Oh, nothing… Cassey, I’ve got to say you something…”
However, his words were interrupted by a sound from the woods near. And the two youngsters saw a new guest.

Next Chapter:
“What is this joke, Ashley?” Mike asked the girl. – The little liar

Author’s Note:
I’ve been reading previous chapters (first ones) and reading the stuff I write in these little comments. Men, it’s dreadful! But, ok, I was a strange girl, I’m always growing up.
I know I have to improve a lot of things in my writing and I will try to give more details about the action, so that you can understand what I had pictured. My imagination surpasses my writing abilities, so it may get pretty confusing sometimes.
I hope you appreciate the following new characters. This isn’t over! (Evil grin)…

Fifteen Journey - Chapter 23

“Rick, wake up!”
The voices were approaching.
“Come on, we haven’t got all day! Open your eyes!”
Rick slowly obeyed. It was good to see sunshine again…
Mike and Fred were near him. Horous cheerfully jumped to Rick’s lap.
“Where am I?” asked Rick while caressing the puppy.
“In a nurse’s somewhere in the village. It was Fred that guided me.”
Rick turned to Fred and smiled gratefully.
“You won’t believe this,” Mike started “but you have been sleeping for almost a day!”
“WHAT?!!!”
“I guess you were really tired, anyway, you haven’t slept since the first night we knew each other… But congratulations, Rick!”
Rick turned to Fred when hearing his voice.
“I admit my loss. But, from where have you gathered all that energy?”
“Ahm, well, I don’t know…” Rick replied embarrassed “Hey, where’s Cassey?” he asked trying to change the subject.
“Ah, she went to buy us some lunch. It’s good to have one girl in the team.”
The team…
“Fred, want to join us?” Rick quickly asked.
“Join you?”
“Well, you know, join our group to try to make Rick the champion…” Mike explained.
“Hey, it’s not that! I can be champion by myself!”
“A dummy head like yours? Na, I don’t think so…”
The argue took place in the quiet room, this time with Fred trying to set them apart.
“Do you boys never stop fighting?”
“Food!”
Mike and Rick (and Horous) fought again, this time for food.
“Are they always like this?” Fred asked.
“Dunno. I have only been with them since yesterday.” Cassey started drinking her soda “Where, have one too.”
Fred, instead of opening the soda, played with it in his hands, lost in his thoughts.
“What worries you?” Cassey asked watching Mike and Rick eating like nuts.
Fred was just looking at the soda. “Rick asked me to join your team.” Fred paused “However, it would be better if I returned home to take care of my family.”
“Is it that big?”
“Yeah, I have 2 older sisters that have already established their families, and 4 younger brothers, plus 2 baby sisters that are twins.”
Cassey gasped with the juice inside her mouth.
“Cof… cof… They must really need you.”
“Yeah, but there is a reason to go with you. I need to find someone…”
Cassey didn’t ask more. It was enough.
“Hey, you two, Fred is going with us!”
“I never said that!!!” he replied.
“Really? Come with us!” Mike and Rick begged with puppy eyes.
Fred gulped.
“Ok, I guess I have no other choice…”
“Yeah!!!”
“Haven’t you noticed yet that you two behave exactly as little children?”
Rick and Mike joined forces to battle Cassey, watched by Fred you was enjoying the scene.
‘Maybe I made the right choice…’

Levinita wasn’t peaceful more. Their candidate had lost and the honour was fading away. The foreigners were the main target of accusations, which made the anger grow. Kane had completely forgotten his work and joined the camp where Rick’s father and sister where staying, for not being target of accusations. But it wasn’t the worst of all. Rick’s father, Dunies, had already predicted the conflicts would pass. However, Kane felt he wasn’t safe anymore. There was an eviler force in Levinita, the foreigners felt it, that was profiting the revolts to grow.
‘I must check this…’
It was a quiet night. No one would predict one youngster would discover the secret of Tourch.

Butterfly Mystery - Chapter 7

The following days passed quickly. The work started blasting everyone, even teachers, and Martha wasn’t having time for anything else than studying. However, the two weeks had been useful to get to know other people and places. Like the three stylish. And here they were.
Tina, Meredith and Jane were the ones considered to be the most stylish in the whole college. Using their uniforms, they invented modern ways to use it. They weren’t known as the prettiest girls in the school, but they had reputation. They were now crossing the hall, the opposite side from Martha. At least, the three of them were to busy to worry with Martha. Loneliness. Martha had been alone for a long time now. Jack wasn’t in the same class, neither Jennifer, which whom she had created a special friendship, and her classmates already had their groups.
Her line of thoughts were interrupted by a loud discussion some metres away.
“I didn’t steal it, okay?”
“Don’t kid with me, you were too near to the closet.”
Martha approached the place from where all that noise was coming. A huge crowd was seeing the discussion.
“I did not do it!”
“So, who did it? You must have seen it.”
“I didn’t… wasn’t paying attention…”
“He didn’t do it… director…”
Martha had approached the scene and was now showing William, the director of the Security department, the accused clothes.
“See, he is sweaty. He must have come from a sport’s training. It would be weird to go steal something all sweaty, it would bring on suspicions, am I right?” Martha asked turning at the accused.
She felt they have known each other before, but she wasn’t able to know where. He was blushing, probably from surprise.
“Yes, you are right…”
“You were…” William, the director of the security department, was stunned “you visited us in the beginning of the school year!”
“Yeah, that’s right… My name is Martha Williams.”
‘Martha, that is a pretty name…’
“Who find something had been stolen?” Martha asked.
“That would be that girl over there…” Martha hurried to the ninth-grade girl. “Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” William enquired.
“I’ll find the culprit…” she answered.
Then she turned to the girl.
“Who has the keys to the closet?”
“I have been having them since I’m this week’s responsible. I only take them to shower and sleep. And since I had them this morning, the thief must have stolen it during my PE class.”
“Can I borrow them?”
The girl accepted, although she was worried about her reputation.
“What do you think you’re doing?” William asked.
“Solving the robbery.”
Then she noticed the boy she had saved was still watching the scene. His eyes perturbed…
He blushed hardly when noticing she was staring at him, and turned his eyes to the floor. Martha just continued her path to the closet.
Once there, she checked the place.
“What was stolen?” she asked William.
“Hey, kiddie, this is my job.” He threatened her.
“Let’s make a bet. If I solve this case in five minutes, you will let me intervene every investigation there is. Otherwise, if I’m not able, I’ll get out of this school and I’ll never see me again. Deal?”
He thought for a while.
“Deal. Five minutes, counting from… now.”
She had five minutes.
“So, what was stolen?”
“Hey, can’t tell you. You have to find out.”
She grinned at him.
“What if it was something from this old chest?”
William was stunned.
“How did you know?”
“Elementary…”
Martha used the keys to open the case while William was leaving the closet.
“Definitely, there isn’t much dust here; someone must have been searching here something.”
Martha pulled out the files and started reading them. Five minutes wasn’t enough…
“Need help?” the boy she had saved before asked.
She smiled at him surprised.
“Yeah, thanks. Do you know the name of the responsible?”
“Somehow, yeah. We’re in the same class, her name is Julie Kant. In fact, I think that she has volunteered for this kind of job, she wasn’t forced to do it…”
Martha, faster than anything, searched quickly for something. However, she wasn’t able to find it.
“Call William, I’ve solved this case out…”

Next Chapter:
The truth. How is he?

Author’s Note:
This is Butterfly Mystery’s true nature. From now on, you boys can read this stuff. It is all full of mystery and suspense.
I haven’t written BM for a long time (really long time) but here I am, ready for action. Now that I can’t go to the internet when I want, I found a way to replace it. Except fast work from me, for now on. Enjoy and comment.

Fifteen Journey - Chapter 22

Why are we fighting?
This wasn’t Rick’s nature. Be there, trying to be a champion. Even his courage had limits. But now, there was no turning back. He had to fight. For his life…
The thoughts ran intro his mind. Fred was trapped and was waiting for Rick’s first movement. However, all turned unpredictable. The first to move was Cassey. Right behind his nose, she pulled out a pouch and threw the powder she had thrown before to the floor. They couldn’t see Fred in the middle of the dust.
‘First part concluded.’
Rick was now waiting. The moment of decision was arriving. When he would see the machine… The moment, it arrived too soon.
Taking less than a second, Fred reached Rick and grabbed him by his neck, not permitting Rick to touch the ground. Thynia fell in the floor abruptly.
“Do you give up now?”
Trapped. Neither Cassey or Mike could help, or Rick would be disqualified, since his life wasn’t in danger. Fred was giving him a chance to give up…
Fred was patiently waiting for an answer from the desperate Rick that was trying to escape.
“This is the end for you. Just tell me when you accept your destiny.”
‘My destiny…’
The fatigue was winning again. Rick felt tired. Too tired. The next time he opened his eyes, he wouldn’t be in reality, but in his brain’s illusions. And he closed his eyes.
Was this the end? In fact, he was now in his own mind. He saw his past, his friends, trying to persuade him not to give up while playing hide and seek. And then, he saw himself teaching his little sister to walk, followed by a vision of his mother’s death and his father transmission of courage. Messages for his future. A lesson to fight for his dream. His dream… what was his dream anyway? Was it worth to fight for something that not even him knew what it was? His dream. Impossibilities ran throw Rick’s head. But then he saw a better future. That is what we always fight for, the hope for a better world. That was his reason to fight…
He opened his eyes. His decision was made. He saw Fred staring at him worried and, with unnatural force, Rick escaped from Fred using the strength in his arms, and grabbed Thynia from the floor. Fred, Cassey and Mike were stunned.
“How the hell you did that? HOW???”
Rick didn’t lose time answering him.
Let the energy flow in your body…
He quickly approached Fred, to finish the battle…
It will soon be over…
With all the strength left, Rick penetrated the robot’s armour. Fred was almost hit but, luckily, Rick spent most of his strength trying to penetrate the armour.
“Ah, that isn’t enough! You need to try harder!”
Fred pressed another button and waited.
“Blasted thing, why aren’t you obeying?”
Only later he stated that Rick had destroyed the main motor. Without it, Fred hadn’t energy. The fight was over.
Fred went outside the machine to claim his defeat, but what he saw worried him too much. Rick had fainted.

No sunrise, for him, the sun would never rise again. It was only a matter of revenge, and it would take some time. Even if he would have to use some puppets, he wanted to win. Someone knocked at the door and, by one of the judge’s movement, the door opened abruptly. A servant of his was with a decent posture waiting for an entrance order.
“What do we have today?” the soul-less judge asked.
“A report from Dismey, sir.”
The judge grabbed the report and ate every word written in it.
“Are you sure this is reliable source?”
“Yes, sir. No mistake.”
The judge wrote something in a paper and deliver it to the servant.
“Make sure this is only read by Pramiet, in Veious academy. We need it.”
The servant understood immediately and quickly left the room.
The judge stood up from the chair where he had been sat and kicked the same chair with anger.
‘It can’t be. Why now? The power has been unlocked… but, by whom? Which player?’
His plan was about to fall apart, but the puppet seemed to be ready. After all, he was Tourch’s judge.

Next chapter:
“Yeah, but there is a reason to go with you. I need to find someone…” Fred murmured.

Author’s Note:
I can’t understand but it seems that you aren’t appreciating Fifteen Journey as before. Please, comment! I ask desesperately to see comments. Oh , pleeease!!! I beg you! (I already know why some of you haven’t comment for the last days, and I understand! Don’t worry.)

Fifteen Journey - Chapter 21

“You weren’t expecting this, eh? Well, it was simple to charge. You know…”
But Rick didn’t want to know. His body was hurt all over and it was painful to move any muscle. At least, Fred was giving him time by exposing the plan himself created. But it wasn’t still enough time…
What to do now?
“But now…” Fred started.
Should I give up?
“…all I’ve got to do…”
Or fight till my breath stop?
“…IS DEFEAT YOU, RICK FLAIM!”
Fred started will all the speed to reach Rick’s body.
‘I’ve made my choice.’
Fred was approaching…
‘I’m gonna fight…’
Fred reached the place where Rich had been a second before. He was now just above Fred, who, in some seconds turned to Rick’s sword. Fred, who was inside the machine, was hit with all Thynia and Rick’s power. Somehow, it was working. It seemed that Fred’s power was decreasing. And Rick didn’t stop. If he stopped, it would be the end for him, he felt it. Even if he wasted all his forces, he would continue, with some unknown force within him. Rick continued his attack. He hoped he could destroy the robot’s defence. Somehow…
Fred was desperate. Inside the robot, he was just blocking the attacks with ultra speed. But it seemed that the enemy was faster than his robot. Fred still didn’t know the robot’s defence limits and was afraid the nemesis could ruin his perfect plan. The plan… Of course!!!
Fred pressed one button. The button of salvation.
Rick felt a wind blow in his chest. He was dragged to a wall near the battle field, being surrounded by the citizens. That blow… Rick tried, but he couldn’t move at all. He could barely think. All that he felt was the machine’s sounds approaching him since his eyes were shut. Not even his eyes wanted to open.
‘Is this the end?’
“Give up, I don’t want to kill you!”
‘I’m already dead…’
It was a matter of seconds. His heart was beating faster, his sight was getting blurry, his breath was slower.
Fred was stunned. The person in front of him… No, he couldn’t be a murderer. He was pretending, that could be the only explanation. How could a player who had already defeated another two not survive his attack?
“Let’s scare him…”
Fred prepared himself. If Rick was pretending, he would block his attack, and then, Fred could use the ultimate trick. If not…
‘If not, I would be a murderer…’
Fred stopped his reasoning. If not, he would be the winner of the battle. He advanced with his plan. The punch was approaching Rick which he was able to see, but he saw another thing behind.
‘Angel…’
The angel spread some kind of powder around Fred. Neither him or Rick could see. However, Rick felt being carried far away from it. He was safe…
“Couf… who… couf… are you?” Fred inquired.
“Michael Twain and Cassey Lane, the ones Rick defeated.”
Fred was stunned. Three against one wasn’t fair…
Angel…
Mike and Cassey brought Rick far away from Fred’s sight. Rick knew he was alive when he heard the angel’s voice. Cassey was right in front of him.
“Hey, quick, open your eyes!”
He obeyed. He knew the battle wasn’t over. He was surprised to see Cassey burst in tears.
“I thought you were dead!”
She tied him close to her, decided not to let him go. Not again.
“Even if you did those horrible things to me, you are too important to be lost.” Cassey was still crying heavily “Don’t give up now! It is my entire fault… If I hadn’t spanked you…”
“It is my fault too” Rick turned to Mike who was now speaking “I became too worried with Horous and I forgot about you, guys. I apologise. However, something smells fishy around these games…”
Rick looked up at his friends. Yes, they were friends. Just like Thynia and his family.
But he still couldn’t stand up, how could he defeat Fred?
“Mike” Rick said between heavy breaths “you’re not the only one that is smart over here. Listen to me…”
Fred was now prepared to use his ultimate weapon. All he had to do was find both three teens and he would have three servants in some minutes-time. But what happened wasn’t in his plans…
Both three appeared around him.

Next Chapter:
Rick’s plan. Will he be successful? Or will Fred’s strategy win against the three?

Author’s Note:
It’s been a while since I last update. Anyway, here you’ve got a whole new chapter.
I’ve noticed that Fifteen Journey is full of gaps and plot’s mistakes. I’m thinking of in the summer holidays write the whole story in Portuguese and complete those gaps. And, of course, there will be new characters!
Please, people, comment. Otherwise, I’ll stop commenting too. (This is a menace, eheh…)
