I just got up and got ready for school the next day. I am really tired, and really don't want to go to school today, but here I am, going anyway. Just before I grabbed the doorknob that leads to the outside of my apartment I heard a knock. Now see I thought it was just Jessie or Grossman or (with high hopes) Dexter. No. I open it without thinking and I come face to face with Ares.
I stared at him in horror. He didn't have his shades on, which left his yellow eyes for all to see. He was leaning on the doorway, acting like Mr. Smooth. He said, "Goin Somewhere?"
Two Minutes Later......
I was walking to school. I hoped I saw Noel, I wanted to apologize for making that threat. Its just, that when it comes to Ares......I don't know. Maybe I can make it up to--
BOOM!
I spun around to see Ares with a jet pack flying out of the apartment. He had Noel, passed out in his arms. He smiled down at me and started laughing. Fury flew right through me. He flew away. The rest of the gang saw the same thing, and when I ran to the lab, they followed. I got to the lab and said, "Computer! Noel's been kidnapped by Ares. We need a full assembly, at--" "Well, I see that you've noticed." I looked at the screen to see a contempt Maximus. "What do you want with Noel!?" I demanded. He didn't looked moved. "I want YOU. Dexter." I calmed down a bit, mostly out of confusion. He continued, "I want your undying allegiance to me. As well as access to your lab, and apartment building. I believe I don't have to explain what will happen if you refuse." I lowered my head, my glasses almost falling off my face. I then turned to the guys. They all looked worried. Maximus then says, "I am giving you twenty four hours to respond. Meet me at my mansion, when you've made your decision."
He cut off the signal and we sat there in silence. Jessie says, "We can't let Noel just....die. I mean that would make it so much harder for you two to date. I'd have to be the middle girl in it all." Mira stepped in, "You can't let this guy get what he wants either. Who knows what he could do with you on his side?" Grossman, being the only one who understands, says, "Hey, C'mon guys. This isn't easy for him. Let him think about things, and he will come up with a magnificent plan to make things right. Right?" I shook my head. I was just going to be honest here, "I don't know what to do, guys......
