wow this is really good” draken said as he munched chicken and vegetable broth. He could see Zane and Lucy on the dinner table also enjoying their food.
“well cooking was part of the deal”. Charollete said as she took the apron of her waist and sat down in front of draken.
“um can I ask you guys something” charlotte said in a curious tone.
“oh go ahead deary ask us anything” Zane said
She looked around the base and then averted her gaze back at them.
“you said you guys are going to bring a revolution buuuut umm” she paused for a second.
“there’s only two of you” she said in concerned tone.
“oye iam pwt of it too” lucy said in a highly offended tone.
“sorry three of you” she corrected herself.
“I know it’s kind of hard” draknen said sulkily.
“but people won’t just join a cause”
“Don’t worry me boy” Zane said to draken
“I’ve got an idea”
He gave him a confused glance at first. But his optimistic look gave draken some hope. But he would soon come to regret ever letting him in on the idea. Before he knew it he was standing on a big stand or podium made of old lumber. On the top there was a big sign written. THE RESEISTENCE.
“ok this is all well and good” said draken.
“but why am I in a lion costume” he said in a muffled voice behind the mask.
“boyo we need a costume a mascot for our movement” zane said.
“and who better than our leader himself”
“man this costume is itchy” draken replied
“pfft pft pft” charlotte tried to hold in her laugh.
“oye who’s laughing” draken said crossly.
“Oh hm ehem, not me” she said as she tried to swallow it in.
“oh no fair I want a costume too” lucy said in angry tone
“come and join the resistance people” zane said
“that tyrant of a leader Susan we promise to get rid of her” he said with a conviction. Some people started to flock around the podium
“so with a fair price of $9.99 you can joi-” before he could finish it he got a big punch to the head
“what are you doing” draken said in an angry tone.
“what, is a great way to make money” Zane said while rubbing his head.
“fiiine” he said
“ehem, no need for money people because there is no price to join only the price of your bodies”. After finishing that sentence Zane took a few moments to understand what he just said. Draken put his hand on his forehead not believing what he just said. Charlotte still laughing silently trying to hold it in. the crowd was just staring at him.
“lemme rephrase that” zane said.
“Give me that” draken forcefully took the mic from him.
He took of his lion mask and put his mouth to his mic.
“look here” draken said with a deep sigh.
“all I want is some justice just like you do” he said in a soft tone.
“but we can’t do this alone” draken said
“all I ask is that you support us in our time of need”.
Everybody started murmuring about them. Charolette could hear her all quiet sounds and murmurs as if snakes were hissing. Then out of nowhere a child age of ten with simple clothing came out of nowhere.
“don’t listen to him hell kill you all” he shouted. He wore a red p-cap had pointy eyebrows with pointy eyes. He had small mouth with a short nose sprouting out like a seedling. He looked incredibly furious.
“these guys are no freedom fighters” he spited the words
“they just want to use you to meet their own end goals”
Everybody started whispering again. Charolette could hear those hissing sounds again.
“oye I don’t who de hell are ya but we aint doing this for ourselves boyo we do it for de people” Zane said back.
“oh really” he said in amusement.
“then can you guarantee that well all live” he said.
He looked at the concerned expressions of everybody in the crowd. People were started to have doubts.
“no I can’t but without sacrifice-”.
“ha, look at that he’s trying to kill you all” he cut Zane off mid-sentence.
The three of them went silent. They could see some of the crowd moving away going back to their usual business.
“wait at least hear us out” charolette said in a desperate tone.
“no no, go back to your usual business” the kid said
All of the crowd went away and there was nothing left but an empty space, a breeze came in and blowed on three very angry faces. The kid also had angerd built up inside him but did not show it. Instead he just looked at them with a dull expression.
“hey you I don’t know who you are but we are doing this for the people” charollete said with boiling anger.
She stepped forward but draken put his hand forward in front of her.
“but look at what he did” she said.
“ Let me talk to him” he replied
Draken went down the podium. He tried to walk the best he could in his pudgy little feet. He went down in front of him. cam down on one knee with the other up and said to him.
“can I at least know your name” he said very humbly.
“huh, why my name” he stopped for a moment.
“well its Chris if you wanna know so badly, resistance trash” he said
“well Chris let me tell you the truth, I feel like smacking the living life out of you” darken said
Chris felt a little chill up his pine but he kept his composure.
“well I-I don’t care” he said trying to sound tough but he was scared in reality.
“but beating you won’t bring back people nor solve any other problem’s” he said a little disappointed.
“I just wanted to tell you that I will get what I want, if its people on the resistance then they will come” he said with determination
“maybe you can tell me your problem and we can solve it together” draken said with a little smile.
“become one of you” he said on a sudden burst of anger.
He got back from him.
“that’s the last thing I would think of doing”. And with that sentence he went of running away.
“well hes gwot some issues” Lucy said
Zane and charollete both looked at her at the same time.
“what” she said.
“come on let’s go back” draken said.
Meanwhile in the distance there was someone in a hood which covered his whole body and face to some extent.
He was situated in a bar which had its chairs out in the open.
“what’s all the ruckus” he said in a very monotone voice as if he didn’t almost care.
“ah that” the bartender said as he washed his glass cup.
“crazy bastards just came out of nowhere, call themselves the resistance, funny stuff hehe”
“that so” he took a sip of his drink
The crowd vanished and he could see a lion mascot and a kid arguing over something.
“found you” the hooded guy said as he tipped the guy.
“hey brother you forgot to take your change” but as he looked in front of him the guy had vanished.
He looked around him but he couldn’t find him.
“ughhh now people are really not going to join the resistance” charollete said in frustrated tone.
They were back into their lair. On the side Zane was teaching Lucy something.
“what are they doing” charollete asked
“Lucy’s gotta learn somehow and since were basically criminals we decided to home teach her”. Draken replied while sipping on his tea.
“oh you youngsters get to do so much” old man Jenkins said.
Suddenly the screen in front of them changed channels.
In front of them was an unfamiliar guy they did not know.
“let me introduce myself” he said like he was extremely bored.
“my name is jackal” he said
“you may not know me”
“but you may know this little fellow here”
What they saw made draken get out of his seat and make his eyes widen. They saw little Chris tied to a chair with his mouth tied with a whit cloth. Now if you want him come to the big lumber mill building in the middle of brown street. Big building, Can’t miss it.
“what makes you think I’ll come get him” draken said
“well I can just kill him then, be there in an hour” jackal said.
