《HAVEN: THE SKY SCRAPER》Chapter 15: Freedom!
Advertisement
Waking up the following morning, Michael notices Daniel is fast asleep and decides to leave him in his peaceful state.
“Good morning” Oliver greets him, announcing his presence bringing over some vegetable soup.
“Wake him up then” Oliver instructs him.
“But he’s sleeping” Michael points out.
“I’m awake now” Daniel interjects leaning up and rubbing his eyes.
“Fucking hell, you look dirty” he comments realizing Oliver is covered in black and dust.
“Well it was a long night” he replies wiping his brow with his sleeve.
“Is it fixed?” Daniel asks coming over to the table to eat some soup.
“We’ll find out after breakfast” Oliver replies looking quite exhausted.
“Pizza?” Michael asks, looking rather confused at the three slices next to his bowl of soup.
“Oh yeah, it’s military grade stuff, last for ages, it’s perfectly safe to eat” he explains.
“I’m not complaining” Daniel mutters taking a bite after dipping it into his soup.
“It’s so nice and peaceful hear” Michael points out.
“Ironic isn’t it, this being a machine of war” Oliver replies.
“How did you two meet?” he asks them curiously.
“Well we’ve known each other since we were fifteen” Daniel replies.
“Lived in the same town I take it?” Oliver suggests.
“Same city actually, at the base of the mountains” Michael explains.
“Sounds like a cold place to grow up” Oliver points out with a smirk.
“Best of both worlds actually, at the base of the mountain is quite cool, lovely and warm in the day time, and then if you go up a little bit, you have all the snow, it’s beautiful really” Daniel explains with a happy smile on his face.
“Would you like to go back?” Oliver asks.
“Yeah, I would actually” Daniel replies.
“Yeah it would be nice to go back” Michael agrees.

“Drink up” Oliver tells them indicating at their glasses of water as he gets up.
They gulp it down before following him to the control room.
Oliver sits down on the captain’s chair and the pair of them sit down either side of him.
“Now then, shall we see if this thing works?” Oliver asks rhetorically.
He begins to push six levers, two at a time to the halfway point.
‘Engines online’ the voiceover announces.
A mighty rumble can be heard as the turbines start to spin slowly and the jet engines spark back into life.
“Open hanger bay four” Oliver instructs the system.
‘Hanger bay four opening’ the voiceover continues to announce.
On the screen in front of them they can see the main door to hanger bay four slowly rolling upwards and the crew rushing out.
“Good morning crew, this is Oliver Angel speaking, welcome back” he informs them talking through the intercom.
After a few minutes of watching the crew make their way about the aircraft, the captain who is a tall man with a long grey beard walks into the control room.
“Hey skipper” Oliver greets him cheekily.
“Angel, it is very, very good to see your face” the captain replies and drags him over to give him a friendly embrace lifting him up off the floor.
“Is everyone ok?” Oliver asks.
“Everyone is perfectly fine, there is someone who particularly wants to see you” he replies.
“Hey Olly” a quiet voice can be heard from someone peering around the doorway.
“RILEY!!” Oliver shouts excitedly and rushes over to hug his old friend.
Whilst hugging him Riley burst into tears and the pair of them fall to the floor.
“I … I never thought I’d ever get out of that place” Riley stutters through tears and moaning.

“Captain this is king Nathan of Haven” Nathans voice can suddenly be heard coming from the main screen.
“Your majesty” the captain replies attempting to straighten himself up before stepping into view.
“You and your crew are to come home, we are on our way to collect you all from the eastern docks” Nathan informs them.
“Yes your majesty, thank you your majesty, we’ll have the Gate make its way straightaway” he replies.
“You will be using the escape craft, much quicker, Heaven’s Gate will be entering service again” Nathan explains.
The captain has a concerned look on his face at this response.
“Yes your majesty, we’ll make preparations to leave immediately” the captain replies.
“All crew leave ship immediately, head outside and prepare the escape craft” he announces through the intercom.
None of the crew need any encouragement and immediately run as fast as they can outside, many of them fall to the floor feeling the grass in their hands, or begin spinning around in a circle breathing in the fresh air whilst feeling the breeze on their face.
“Riley” Oliver says to him with a big smile.
“Yeah I heard” he replies bursting into tears again as Oliver helps him to a seat.
“What about you?” The captain asks.
“I’ll be staying here at Heaven’s Gate” he replies and holds up his ID tag.
“COTAF, I expected nothing less from you” the captain tells him and before leaving the room himself, gives Oliver another embrace.
“Who are these two?” Riley asks.
“This is Michael and this is Daniel” Oliver explains pointing to each of them as he does so.
“Hello” Riley says giving them a little wave.
“Nice to meet you” Michael replies shaking his hand.
“Hello” Daniel also greets him but giving a little wave instead.

(Hiatus to work of my other fiction)What if the world was keeping secrets? Secrets so dark and powerful that one must simply be unaware of them lest they be destroyed. Experiments that are too horrible to reveal, hidden monsters too terrible to release. Darkness the overwhelms the light, power that trumps all, beings of ferocity unseen by the masses. What would you do if you stumbled across one of these secrets? What COULD you do?------------------------------------------------------------[Hey everyone, this is MultiBlitz15. Apart from writing stories for english class in school, this is my first time ever writing a fiction, so please bear with me. I intend this to be a story involving the ""what if's"" of life and the darker sides of humanity. The story will start on Earth but will escalate into something much, much more. That is where the fantasy tag will come into play. On the topic of tags, some of them may not be permanent and some simply haven't been added yet. Also, I DO NOT intend to include sex scenes or major tragedy in my fiction. While there might be sexual references and minor tragedies, there shouldn't be anything beyond that. Finally, this fiction is rated Mature 18+ due to the incredible amounts of blood, gore, brutality, and other stuff I intend to include. Thank you, and please enjoy the story!](P.S If you find grammar mistakes, please let me know in the comments, I would greatly appreciate it.)(P.P.S I finished adding more content to the previous chapters!!)
