22 Chapter 22 (1/2)

When Draven came back, he had a huge smile while shaking the hands in the air with the copied address on the small digital monitor. Peter looked at him and smiled back.

”So, let us go” Draven started the flying machine but Peter did not hop on.

Draven looked at Peter who was just staring at him with no intention to get in.

”What now?” Draven asked impatiently.

”Your disguise!” Peter replied calmly.

”Seriously? Right now! Is it really important?” Draven asked.

”Yes,” Peter said.

”Ok fine! I did not know that you had this weird interest in seeing a man wearing girl's clothes! Awesome! Just Awesome!” Draven complained.

”I never asked you to disguise as a girl! It was you who chose that costume!”

When Peter saw that Draven was almost back to being a girl, he got in and they both flew together. Within minutes they were at the place where the elder lived.

Once they got down, Draven shrunk the machine and put it in his backpack. Peter signaled Draven to stay behind but he did not listen and followed Peter with some distance.

Peter checked the area and realized that he was getting a familiar feeling about this place. When he turned around, all of a sudden he realized that they came to the place where he met Elly before.

The kids running around the street, it all looked real. He stopped a kid only to notice that he had no eyes. When a bunch of kids saw that Peter had stopped a kid, they started to disappear into the dark alley.

Peter felt something unusual about the kid, so he asked, ”Who are you?”

The kid did not say anything. He just stood there and in seconds, before Peter could realize what had happened the kid melted away. The other kids came out after watching that with fear.

”You are our savior! You have finally come back to save us all! Long live Ashes! Long live Ashes Lord!” a group of people out of nowhere jumped in front of Peter and took him away.

Draven who looked at this felt his jaw drop. Ashes? Ashes Lord? Why do these people belong to Ashes on our planet? And why did they say that Peter is their savior?

Before Draven could get confused by himself, Peter came running towards him while pulling him away.

”We need to fly now… Make it fast, I do not have enough energy to stop everyone who is chasing us now” Peter said in a hurry.

”What do you mean by us? It is you! They are after you!” Draven said.

But still, he opened his backpack only to realize that it was empty with nothing in it. No! How is it possible?

”What happened? Hurry!” Peter urged.

”Hmm… Even if you want me to hurry, I cannot! As someone emptied my backpack completely.” Draven finally understood the severity.
