Chapter 2
Deal
Deal
Drew couldn’t believe that he was seeing, he was frightened more than ever but he didn’t want it to show. He asked a stupid question to break the silence. “Who are you?”
“My Drew, I know you know me, my name is Lord Shakari”
“So, am I supposed to care?” asked Drew sitting on the cold ground.
Drew eyed the guards. They had dark leather suits and long spears that were taller than him. “Well I guess not” laughed Lord Shakari; he looked around as if he was expecting something to happen. “I guess the Elders don’t care much that I captured you”
Drew didn’t talk. “Well I want to know what you know Drew, I want to know if there are others out there” said Lord Shakari seriously pacing form left to right.
Drew still stayed silent. “Hmm…I should have expected this about you Drew, you see I know a lot of things about you, I know your real name was Edward, I know you were a famous painter, I even know about Sherry”
Drew felt the angry bubble inside him. “You leave her out of this!” he shouted as he stood up.
Lord Shakari stopped pacing and let out a smile that could break glass. “Oh did I hit a sweet spot?”
Drew had his hands clenched into fists. “What do you want from me?”
“Oh nothing, just for you to join the Fury” answered Lord Shakari.
“Never”
“That’s what I thought, but what if I made you a deal?”
“I’m listening”
“What if I could reunite you with your “One”?”
Drew looked up with a smile across his face. “Really, you can do that?”
“Yes, but you must make a deal with me first”
“I’ll do anything!” That’s what Drew was going to say, but instead he said “I don’t know”
“Think about it Drew, you could be back together, you could see her smile, feel the warmth of her skin”
“But won’t people freak out if they saw a dead girl walking around?” asked Drew.
“That I can handle, I can make it as if she never died, as if she was always there”
“And what about Sherry?”
“I can give her memory back to some degree”
Drew was starting to think about accepting the deal. “What is the deal?”
“Join the Fury and be one of my spies” Lord Shakari gave a wicked grin. “And in return you’ll have your “One” back”
“I still don’t know”
Drew was confused usually he would have answered No before he was done his sentence. But the idea of Sherry coming back was sounded wonderful. “Well that’s a problem” laughed Lord Shakari.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that if you refuse then I’ll have to kill you” Lord Shakari laughed and started to walk away. “I’ll be back in a few hours for your decision”

“Where is Drew?” said Merrill; she was starting to cry.
Marty came and sat down beside her. “Look, I know it’s hard, but you have to consider the possibilities that he went out and the sun killed him”
“Oh? What about the possibilities that he’s still alive?” asked Merrill standing up.
“Oh children, sorry to interrupt your little talkativeness but Murdoch is coming” whispered Essie.
“What do I tell him now?” asked Merrill.
“The truth?” said Essie. “Maybe that’ll work”
“Ya great idea Essie, I can hear it now, Hi Murdoch you may not know this but Drew has ran away and we have no idea where he is, tee-hee” said Marty, imitating Merrill’s voice.
“So what do you purpose I do?” asked Merrill.
“Leave that to me” said Marty with a sly smile on his pale face.
Marty ran up to Murdoch who was half way down the arch hallway. “Why hello Marty what can I do for you?” asked Murdoch kindly.
“It’s about the defense moves I can’t seem to understand how to do them just by reading about it” said Marty.
“Well maybe I can show you some of them”
“Sure that would be great”
“Maybe the others would like some help to” Murdoch goes to step to the side but Marty does the same.
“You know there reading their books and are really into them, so let’s not disturb them”
“Is that so?” Murdoch crossed his arms suspiciously. “Then why don’t you send them all up to my office so we can discuss the book”
“Everyone?” asked Marty.
“Everyone, which includes you, Merrill, Karl, Essie, and Drew”
“Right now?”
“Right now”
“Okay you’re the teacher” said Marty walking down the hallway.
“So how’d it go?” asked Merrill.
“He knows” said Marty.
“Did you tell him?” demanded Merrill.
“No, but we have a meeting in his office to go to”
“Everyone?” she asked.
“Everyone”

Drew was still thinking. Maybe he should, he’d be able to see his beloved again, but on the other hand how could he trust the Fury? All these types of questions rattled around in his brain. He started to think that he should take the deal; after all, he didn’t get much of a choice, ether die…again, or become part of the Fury.
He felt the bars around him. Cold and lifeless, just like me, Drew joked to himself.
He thought about Mansbridge, and Merrill, Essie, Marty, Murdoch, and Karl.
Drew had tried to use his mind traveling abilities but for some reason he couldn’t get pass the giant door, like some force was keeping him back.
He walked around the small cage. It didn’t seem to have a lock on it, not even a door. So how’d they get him in there? He looked up; the cage was attached to the rough ceiling.
Drew heard the giant door slam and footsteps come down the hall. “Here’s the moment of truth” Drew whispered to himself.
“Hello Drew, did you have enough time to think?” asked Lord Shakari, he was in a long black robe.
“I have made my decision” said Drew
