YAY another update!! I love you guys. So anyway I appreciate your concerns for me but I'm doing better. Now for the main event! Chapter 22 XD

Chapter 22

Dang Tron is heavy! Taking a unconscious program to the medical room wouldn't usually be a problem but with Beck still trying to find his full strength again, the body seemed heavier. Come on Beck! I can't let Paige take all the weight of Tron upon herself! Beck mentally slapped himself and reajustied his grip on Tron.

What had made Tron to go and attack Beck? They seem like friends almost or some kind of special relationship. (XD) Leaving the thought to linger Paige snuck a look at Beck's face, his face was full of plain and sadly it was as clear as the circuits on her outfit.

"Beck you alright?" When she asked the question there wasn't any movement to face her he just kept walking. From a side glance his lips were pressed into a thin line as if trying to figure out a piece of this confusing puzzle. His once soft chocolate eyes now lifeless and look deep in thought.

"Beck?" She nudged him with Tron's side and this time his head snapped up and his eyes focused on her.

"Yes? Sorry i was just thinking about- Never mind it wasn't important." he wouldn't look Paige in the eye.

"Beck," Paige moved one of her hands and lifted his chin forcing him to look up. "I asked if you were okay."

"Oh yeah I'm fine." Beck placed a slightly forced smirk on his face. One he was hoping that would slide.

"Nice smirk you got there but now I want the actual truth." Paige sent him a glare full of daggers and gave a slight shiver down his spine.

Beck's smirk weakened and his eyes became unsure of himself. Dang it Paige I can't keep anything from you! Other than being the renegade but that's besides the point. Beck sighed this time his glaze was more interested in his light blue secondary color.

"All right i'm just worried something will go wrong and what tron did it-" Beck's sentence was cut short by having Paige's index finger placed across his lips.

"See was that so hard? That's all I'm asking for is the truth." Paige removed her finger and continued to walk Tron down the hallway with Beck by her side.

...Zara's dream...

"Guess who's back Zara!" Evil laughter soon began to fill the room hurting the red head's ears.

"No! I have obeyed your orders my lord why do you come to me now?" Zara started to panic and took off running in any direction. The was no use though no matter where she went the manicak would follow her. But the thing that scared her the most was that her friends, Paige, Beck, Tron and herself were all in danger of his master plan and no one could escape.

"Oh my dear Zara you know exactly what I want. I want to rule every program on the grid and over throw that sorry excuse of a program. Clu." The figure walked out of the shadows and brushed his fingers across her face causing the young program to stiffen.

"You know your beautiful right?" The program picked up a lock of her long hair and in haled it's sweet scent.

"You creep!" Zara had had enough. She turned around and slugged the male and he fell to the ground hard.

"oh still have some resistance do we?" The male got up quickly and slipped behind Zara hitting her in three places causing her to black out and wake up.

<<<<BACK TO PAIGE AND BECK!!!>>>>

"Alright we're here!" Paige said somewhat tired.

"Well open the door. He isn't getting any lighter you know!" Beck tapped his foot impatiently.

"Well look who's back to being snappy! You know you're starting to sound a lot like him." Beck rolled his eyes and gave a playful glare to Paige who was opening the door.

Suddenly a scream ripped through the air when Paige got the door open. Beck gave Paige a questionable look and when she looked back her face was horrified.

"What was that?" Beck moved closer to the door but Paige stopped him with a hand.

"Let me go in first." With a brief nod Paige quickly entered the room.

Not much time passed before outside you could hear a female program crying and another hushing the other. trying to get some kind of comfort. Beck, still holding Tron, walked into the room and saw the program they were looking for.

Paige looked up when she heared Beck trying to enter the room carefully. But to no avail did it work. Beck gave a short full hearted glare to Paige before looking at Zara. Who was the program crying.

"Paige how long has she been here?" Paige didn't meet his eye. She only looked down at her hands and sighed.

"About two cycles" Beck's jaw dropped.

"And you didn't tell me because why exactly?" Beck moved Tron to a near by bed and layed him down to rest. Then promptly turned around and folded his arms across his chest.

"She requested that I didn't tell another program. On the plus side I got some information out of her which I will tell you later." Paige lifted her gaze this time her soft doe eyes becoming hard and cold just like when they were fighting.

'You better' was all he could mouth before leaving the room. Paige kissed the top of Zara's head and rocked her back and forth before she was a sleep in her arms once again.

Elijah: That'll do it for chapter 22! Hope you enjoyed!

Beck: Put your guesses of who is behind Zara's torture in the comments and we'll see you next time!
