“ So آپ talked to Jet? “ he muttered taking a sip of his pop and placing it back on the counter, she nodded “ I had only come back an گھنٹہ later Bent, I found آپ in the Nervegear and Jet had sent آپ a message. I knew Jet knew about this so i made him tell me what the heck آپ were doing….” Aryess کہا gripping her glass of water on the counter with both hands, Bentley sighed “ Jet….he couldn’t even keep a stupid promise……”. Aryess perked up “ meaning? “ , “ I told him to do all he could to keep آپ from coming after me……but as آپ can see he did a bang up job…. “ Bentley کہا sarcastically. Aryess smiled slugging his shoulder, Bentley rubbed his shoulder and looked at her with an eyebrow raised “ ow? Is that my punishment for lying to you? “ , Aryess sighed and grumbled “ no……..” she knew it didn’t hurt him really, but she couldn’t think of anything better to do then hit him. Bentley sighed deeply “ آپ know its doesn’t feel the same…… آپ slugging me in the shoulder in this world…..strangely I miss the feeling……”, Aryess smiled دکھانا her teeth and looked down. “ So….. آپ in a guild…? “, Bentley shook his head “ nope going it solo like I usually do…”, Aryess smiled “ nope you’re not….. you’re going in a duo….”. Bentley looked at her confused as she grinned “ im joining with you…. And before آپ say no let me explain “, Bentley sighed taking a breath in, “ if were getting out of here together the only way to do that is stick together, آپ protect me, I protect آپ its that simple “ . “ But Arye- “ Bentleys eyes widened when she put a finger over his lips, he looked down at her finger on his lips and back up at her. Aryess sighed pulling her finger back “ deal? “ she said, Bentley sighed looking down and breathed out “ deal…. “.

(( later that night in town ))
Aisling, Phoebe, Becca, Willow, Artemis, Rene and Aryess sat at a میز, جدول in the bar, Becca sighed “ so no powers in this game isn’t that just dandy? “ , “ well of course there are no powers in here Becca…. I mean since when would that be fair?....” Aryess said. “ Last time I checked being trapped in this game isn’t fair..” Aisling grumbled, Phoebe sighed “ well we have to get out of here soon I mean…. Like how long could we last in here….”, Willow کہا “ well…all of us have our skills what if we created a guild with all of us….”. Aryess looked at them and sighed while the others nodded in agreement , “ yeah that’s actually a good idea so Rowan, Lucas, Wally, Tyler, Bentley, and Twan stick in one group and all of us girls stick in another “ Rene said. Everyone seemed to like the idea all but Aryess, she stood up “ sorry guys… im not interested and I don’t think Bentley would be either, ill see آپ around….” She muttered walking out of the bar. Everyone looked at each other confused, “ whats up with her? “ Artemis said.

(( the اگلے دن ))
He laid there on the ہل, لندن staring up at the sky, he had the feeling in his gut that someone was watching him….but not someone from the town…..someone from the sky, he didn’t know if he was wondering if Keith Losanger was watching him somehow…. یا if he was just being paranoid. His grey eyes scanned the sky as he heard footsteps, he perked up turning around to see Aryess who walked over and sat down اگلے to him, “ I talked to the girls last night…. They thought it was a good idea for me to شامل میں a guild with them and آپ to شامل میں a guild with the guys…” she muttered, “ why didn’t آپ go with them? “ he muttered. “ Because I knew آپ wouldn’t شامل میں the guild with the guys babe….i know you…. I know آپ hate working with people آپ barely know….especially in a predicament like this…. I wasn’t about to leave me boyfriend…” she muttered, Bentley looked down “ آپ know I can handle myself….” He breathed out. “ Babe I know آپ can but in this game it’s a lot easier to get hurt and die….. im not risking it….we stay together no matter what…” she said. Bentley sighed nodding in agreement “ okay….”, Aryess sighed “ so whats on your mind…? “. Bentley looked at her confused “ how do آپ know theres something on my mind? “ , “ آپ have that cute look on your face whenever you’re thinking about something…. “ she smiled at him putting her hand on his that was on the ground. Bentley sighed “ this game is starting to seem like a routine now….i don’t know whether to be excited یا frightened to go to the اگلے floor….becuase آپ never know what its like up there next….” He muttered. “ Why are آپ scared….” She muttered looking at him sadly running her hand over his. “ Im scared of losing you……” he breathed out sadly looking at her, she suddenly looked at him and her eyes sparkled as she hugged him tightly “ im not going anywhere…..ill always protect آپ ….” She breathed out not wanting to let go.

Bentley walking with Aryess down the سٹریٹ, گلی and smiled down at her as she smiled up at him, he perked up with he heard the sound of a man walking down the street, he scanned the man, he didn’t like the reading he gave off , Aryess looked up at Bentley “ Bent whats wrong? “, “ get behind me…” he growled angrily as the man stopped infront of him, looking at him up and down “ so you’re it? You’re the black swordsman “ he laughed, “ black swordsman…? “ Aryess muttered wide eyed looking up at Bentley holding onto his hand tightly.
