↑ ↑ ↑ Here is what Beryl looks like.

So how do you like the story?

______________________________

"What are you doing here, Beryl?" Barry asked Beryl who got angry at the question.

"First you leave me in that orphanage all alone, second you didn't tell me about your escape and now you're asking me what I'm doing here!?" The red haired girl exclaimed, nose flaring in anger.

"We weren't exactly friends you know." Barry murmured. 'Oh well, this will go on for a while knowing Beryl. But wait! How did she get on the train before me?! It's weird just like how Luke knew my name. And I thought today will be normal.'

"Now you space out on me?! Barry! Do I look like a joke to you?" Beryl shouted, which pissed Luke off.

"Quiet down, freak or they'll spot us!" Luke snapped.

"Who the hell is this?" Beryl asked Barry who was lost in his thoughts.

'Why now of all times does...' Barry was cut short from his thoughts when he felt pain on his arm then warm liquid.

"You'll kill him, you freak!" Luke screamed at Beryl as moved over to Barry's side to inspect his wound.

'Blood?' Barry wondered and looked down at his arm. "Ahhhhh! Blood! Blood! Darn Beryl!" Barry shouted at the sight of his own blood.

"Shush!" Luke suddenly shushed the duo, especially Barry, and it was then they heard some sounds outside.

"What's all the noise about?" A voice said outside.

"It is coming from the third coach." Another voice said.

Their eyes widened as they realised that the voices were headed towards them.

"Quick hide!" Luke whispered.

"But my blood." Barry started.
"It's just blood!" Beryl snapped in a whisper loud enough for Barry to here.

"Just blood!? Just blood?! I'll show you the meaning of just blood!" Barry yelled as he threatened to injure her.

Luke on the other hand was getting annoyed cause they were on the verge of being thrown into the middle of nowhere and the two idiots were arguing a baseless argument.

"Look I would have loved to watch your love story but if you keep this up, the two of you will be thrown out!" Luke whispered in an angry tone.

"What was that?!" Barry exclaimed.

Before Barry said anymore, Luke had hidden himself leaving them to their fate.

'Damn he is wicked!' Barry said internally. Beryl and Barry paled as they heard footsteps just outside the door of the storage coach they were in.

"Let's open the door in three, three, two, one." The first voice counted down.

"Open." The two men said in unison.

When they opened the door, they inspected the area but found nothing.

"Inspect the area, we might find something here." The first voice, which turned out to be a man said. After series of inspections and they found nothing, they left. Luke came out of his hiding spot between the cargo in the coach and shook his head.

"You guys were lucky they didn't catch you, especially the red head freak." He said.

"Who ya callin' freak ya dimwit?!" Beryl retorted in an accent.

"I don't know." Luke shrugged. "By the way Bartholomew back to what we were talking about." Luke called out to Barry.

"Call me Barry but please wait." Barry.

"Ok I'm a waitin'." Luke said in the same accent Beryl used earlier.

"Beryl I have some questions for you." Barry said as though he was interrogating a criminal.

"Ok." Beryl nodded to show she was listening.

"First how did you get on the train?" Barry asked in his interrogative tone.

"Well, after you passed my bed I woke up then followed you till you got to the stairs. Then while you went up I went down then opened the emergency tunnel and I came out then ran then I saw this train then jumped, although I never knew you will enter the same coach." Beryl answered.

"Ok then why did you follow me?" Barry asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Because... well its none of your business." She said trying to cover up her reason.

"This love story is getting interesting. Although I'm not a fan of rom-com, I kinda like this one." Luke teased from the sidelines.

"Shut up." Barry hissed.

"Ouch." Luke pouted playfully.

"Why did you leave." This time it was Beryl doing the asking and Barry answering.

"I'm sorry I cannot tell."

"Is it because of this." Beryl raised her forearm up and behold, a mark identical to Barry and Luke's was lying there. The only difference was that in the first circle of hers lied a small red circle.

"Beryl, how come you never mentioned it?" Barry questioned in surprise.

"I should say the same for you too Barry." Beryl said.

"Ok Beryl I'm sorry." Barry apologized.

"Really?>sniff<" Beryl asked.

"Really. She obviously faked that. " Barry said reassuringly.

"Let's make an oath." Beryl said demandingly.

"Ouch. How come I'm the only one left out." Luke said feeling hurt.

"You can join, Luke." 'Why an oath? Girls.' Barry called out to Luke.

"Why?" Beryl questioned Barry's decision.

"He is a friend, Beryl." Barry said as though stating the obvious.

"Ok." Beryl shrugged then smiled at the thought of something while making an oath.

"This is the first time I've seen the red head smile today. Anyway anyone hungry?" Luke asked as he brought out some fruits.

At the sound of fruits, they all realised they haven't eaten very well.

"Yeah." Barry said as he grabbed a vine of grapes.

"You've got food?" Beryl asked as if she wanted more than fruits.

"Wait, so you think I ran away from an orphanage with no food, water, or even money?" Luke said boastingly.

"Actually..." Beryl started but was cut short by Barry.

"Beryl doesn't eat fruits." Barry spoke on her behalf.

"I'm right here you know. Well Luke there you have it, I don't eat fruits." Beryl said as she pushed the fruits back to Luke.

"Shite!" Luke cursed under his breath."Well what of cereals?" He asked and brought out a pack of cereals. When Beryl nodded, he tossed it towards her. "Here."

"Thanks." Beryl said as she accepted the cereals.

"You're welcome." Luke said feeling proud of himself.

After they ate Barry yawned. "I'm sleepy." Barry said yawning again.

"I guess it's time to retire to bed." Beryl said having a tired tone in her voice.

The three cuddled together and slept to preserve body warmth. Several minuets later Barry was awoken by a noise.

">Groan< What is that?" Barry asked no one in particular as he sat up groggily.

"What?" Beryl asked, also sitting up.

'I guess Beryl was awoken by the noise also so what happened outsi...' Barry was cut short from his thoughts when a fire ball whisked passed the coach they were in.

"Beryl, did you see that?!" Barry asked in disbelief.

"Yeah but it's unbelievable." Beryl answered.

"I think they are bandits coming hide." Barry figured and woke Luke up.

"What of the fireball? How are you sure bandits will come? Do you know what that noise is?" Beryl flooded Luke with questions cause stuff kept getting weirder from how she got a stone out of nowhere to a fireball passing their coach.

"Just hide." Luke answered her.

The three hid themselves and as they had predicted, bandits jumped unto the train. There was, however, something strange about these bandits, they had supernatural powers which was weird. The bandits did away with the goods on their coach but luckily they didn't get to the three's side then they left.

"Safe!" Barry exclaimed in relief. "But did you see what I just saw?!" He asked his two friends.

"Yeah that wire-headed bandit had the same mark as us and he had supernatural powers- ah!" Beryl started but was interrupted by a tug on her clothes.

As if by magic, they were suddenly sucked into a hole of wind and were in a floating world.

"What is thiiiiiisss...?" Barry asked as he looked around.

He suddenly screamed when his arms got separated from his whole body. Beryl and Luke mirrored his actions when their body parts started separating and floating away.

After a while of screaming, their body parts came back together. They all gagged as everything in their stomach went 'up', 'down', 'right', 'left' and screamed again as they were sanctioned into another hole made of wind. They came out from the hole made of wind and landed on the train in one piece.

For the next three minutes they were vomiting everything they ate unto the ground.

After they emptied their stomachs, they settled down to relax and talk about their experience.

"That was crazy! Luke's body was headless and boneless with one of my eyes on his leg and another on the train wall." Beryl started off.

"Damn, thank goodness I did not see that." Luke commented. "Barry what did you see." He asked Barry.

"I grew an arm with hands all over it from my nose and a hairy leg from my mouth and my body parts separated." Barry shuddered at the memory and started pulling his arms and legs to see if they were intact.

"Me, I saw a mesh up of different body parts into a soup bowl the. I looked around and saw an arm with so many eyes on them and al......" Luke started but was cut short by Barry.

"Ok stop I'm nauseated enough." Barry gagged as a wave of nausea hit him again.

"The real problem is..." Beryl started.

"...where are we?" Barry finished as he looked outside the window noticing that the landscape had changed.

"Well we will find out tomorrow but we need to get some sleep." Luke said as he curdled himself and prepared to sleep.

So the three slept. After what seemed like hours it was finally daytime. The train pulled to a halt at a station and Barry woke up first and saw the golden rays of the sun.

"It's daytime already so let's set out." Barry said to the awakening two, feeling enthusiastic about the day.

So the three left the coach carefully and walked around the town. While they were walking, something caught Luke's eye.

"Guys come over here for a minute." Luke called, drawing their attention.

"Why?" Beryl asked while walking towards Luke.

Then Luke pointed forward. "A bath."

Barry then turned around to look at the bath house. "Yeah but I don't have much money on me."

"Me too." Beryl said.

Luke looked around then his eye caught something again. "But good news, the bath is only fifty shecs."

"That's good so let's go get a bath." Barry said with enthusiasm.

"Why are you so enthusiastic today?" Beryl asked the strangely enthusiastic Barry as she walked towards the bath house but got no reply.

After they took a bath and changed clothes, they set out to gather information about the marking on their wrist.

After hours of gathering information, they found out that if you possessed the mark you have some supernatural powers.
