Chereads / The Curse of Memories / Chapter 7 - The Arrest

Chapter 7 - The Arrest

Luan stopped running once he was in a city, he looked around for a seat and as he walked to there, everyone near him was running away in panic.

"TIGER!" Someone screamed.

"Tiger!?" Luan though and looked behind.

At the same time he did it, he was pushed to ground by an actual tiger, that made him speechless, but then he remembers who it may be and changed his expression completly.

"Oh! It's you." He said, annoyed, trying to push the tiger backwards."

Julian looked into Luan's eyes as he hold the wrists of the person under him, then he licked Luan's face.

"Disgusting!" Luan said cleaning his face with the jacket. "Not my type."

Julian then came to his senses and looked around, turning into a human again after checking if the streets were clear.

"What isn't your type!" Julian asked, getting up.

"What do you think? What would you if an animal licked your face out of nowhere."

"Oh! You scared me there." Julian said, looking away.

"How so?"

Julian looked to Luan as he got up, then he opened his mouth to answer m, however it was interrupted by several people talking.

"I think the best we do is get out of here." Julian explained "Mortis could be anywhere!"

"He isn't here." Said Luan, walking towards the way they came. "He must be looking for teens."

"What for?" Julian asked confused.

"He need strong gods to help him in his realm, remember?"

"That doesn't explain anything!" Exclaimed Julian, accelerating the pace to go beside Luan.

As they were on the street, Exila appeared with Tim on her back, sleeping.

"What the..." Started Julian to say, but decided not to.

"He was hungry but worried with you, Luan."

"I see. I am sorry to run off like that."

"It isn't your fault, we shouldn't have hide stuff from you. Not after everything you passed through."

Luan smilled and the four went back to the mitel room, where they froze when they saw Tim protecting a teen from a group of man dressed in black and red.

Luan run quickly to his side and took his fans out of the pocket, making the man laugh.

"What are you doing here, Fred?" Julian asked.

A man with a more casual clothing, appeared for within the group, with Dennis being hold by the neck.

"I must ask the same thing! Did young master send you in a mission? Maybe to retrieve someone."

"I am afraid not." Julian answered, emotionless, but his fingers were gripping his shirt tightly.

"Then help me. I must send these kids to Master Roger."

Julian didn't move and out of a sudden, Julian screamed in pain and Luan looked over to Fred, he was holding a device on his hand.

"STOP."

"Why? It is so funny."

Tim immediately run towards Julian and touched his hands on the forehead, making Julian faint.

"What a joy killer."

Exila was trying to wake up Timothy but, he wasn't. Stressed out because it was dangerous and she couldn't leave him alone, she only observed what was happening from afar.

With Luan scream out of nowhere, Tomwoke up and looked around. When he saw Julian fainted on his brother backs, he run towards them.

Luan put in position of fighting, even if he couldn't use his powers, he was almost a master in martial arts.

"Oh, you want to fight?" Fred asked and a snap was heard, before Dennis fell on the ground "ups, my bad."

Luan was angry and crying, but he knew he should stay calm and collected.

"I guess he wasn't your friend, however..." Fred said looking towards Julian "He is."

Luan looked to his friends and quickly run towards them, putting in a defense position that time.

"I was right then. Let's put a show, shall we?"

They started to fight, Fred was losing but he never stopped until Luan used his fans to cast a magic attack.

"I see... what is... happening." Fred said, while out breath, cleaning his face with his shirt.

"Luan come here." Exila called.

Without taking the eyes of Fred, Luan walked backwards, always in a defensive pose and stopped when he saw her hair in the corner of his eye.

"What is it?"

"Close your eyes, trust me." She said.

He didn't answer nor obey her, so she touch his shoulder and everything around was replaced by a bright white space.

"Where are we?" Luan asked covering his eyes with his arms.

"It is the twins powers. If they touch both in a person we all got teleport somewhere."

"Where to?"

"We don't control it yet."

As she said that, Luan looked back at the same time a brick wall appear behind them. He turned around and looked up.

"Shit!" Tim said "we are back in Lunus."

"In the mages kingdom, Lich. They hate gods."

"Great!" Luan said laying against the wall "Which part exactly?"

"The castle wall." Tom answered.

"You should control that power of yours." Luan said "we should be grateful that we weren't..."

Luan looke to the side and saw two surprised persons with armour and a shinny light blue staff on the hand. Luan froze in fear, he wanted to warn his friends but wasn't able to.

"Are they threatening you?" One of the guard asked from afar, checking all the group, they were holding dangerous weapon's, except Luan, that had fans.

"Hey, you." The other guard shout, looking towards his friends "Are you threatening this young man?"

"No! Why would we?" Tom said, confused.

The guards looked at each other and relaxed a bit, with their eyes fixed now on the man in the person who spoke, that was waking up.

Julian opened his eyes and froze when he saw the guards.

"Julian Ryder?"

"You must be confuse." Julian said, getting off Tim's back, but with a trembling voice."That isn't my name.

"You were really convincing." Tom whisper.

The guards approach the group and everyone got tense, they didn't want to be arrest.

"You all are coming with us."

"What...?" Luan asked.

"Dont worry commoner, they will not bother you anymore."

He was about to speak again but was interrupted by Exila laying a punch om his stomach, making him fall on his knees. She then put a hand around his neck and pull up, making him lose air.

Exila saw the guards running towards her and she approach Luan's ear.

"We don't have a chance, look for Sally."

As she finished talking, someone pulled her back and Luan fell on the ground. Having his neck free again he took a deep breath and looked to the direction of the guards, the group has disappear and he only saw a ball the triple of his size floating behind the guards, that he guessed that his friends were there.

"I am alone once again." He said looking to the sky, his stomachs growls with hunger "And hungry too."

"Hello there!" He heard a feminine voice beside him "Need help, sir?"
