The Chiaroscuro: Chapter 14

Alex's POV

Center of Light Base, Mount Tam, San Francisco USA

Light poured out of Josh's tent. He had told us his plan, to make some aircraft and send it to the Dark Circle Base. I tried to tell him that it wouldn't work, that killing and fighting people wouldn't help anything. We had to convince them that we were framed.

Of course, he kept wit his plan. But now he would be in a coma for two weeks. That gave me time to stop this war. To make peace with my old friends. And maybe even save my family...

I sighed and sat in the ruins of the Titan base. Lora sat next to me. She was drawing the sunset, and it was beautiful today. She was talking to me about Garret as she drew.

"Josh has been unreasonable. He told me that Garrett is a spy but we have no evidence."

"Well Garret was never really on our side." I pointed out.

"True, but Josh thinks he's using me for the Dark Circle. He isn't!"

"Lora, I believe you."

She glanced at me with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Really? But I thought you hate him..."

"Well, I do," I say, "But he would never try and hurt you. He did join the Dark Circle, he is a traitor to the Center of Light, but not you. He loves you Lora."

She held a half smile for a second, but then it disapeared. "We have two weeks. Two weeks to save Garret and stop this war."

"Josh, is watching us." I say, "But he can't wake up. So we can do what we need to now, and face consequences later."

"What about the ship?" She says.

"They can build it. However, I've had dreams about Hiro, the son of Chronos. The Dark Circle murdered him, but he managed to time travel and save himself. Maybe he can speed up the time of the Aircraft while we leave..." I say.

"So, we rescue him. But where is he?"

"At the Dark Circle Base." I say.

"Well let's go." She said taking my hand.

What are you guys doing?! an angry voice, Josh's, said in my head.

"Disobeying you" I said out loud.

NOT DONE
