Kaitlyn's POV
"Well what do ya know, he turned his back on you," Lelia spat. I was pacing in my old room that I shared with Lelia and Dani.
"Maybe he had reasons," Dani said.
"Nu uh, that boy only wanted to hurt our Linni," Lelia growled.
I sighed and stopped pacing. "At least we know where it is. Joyce's secret office. With the shard and a shard from the bad crystal we'll destroy the crystal together."
"How will we get in there?" Dani asked.
I grinned at her. "You'll run into the door. You'll probably have to shape shift into a rhino. You smash the door down. Lelia will barricade the door and I'll destroy the crystal. Sounds good?" I asked.
"Brilliant," Lelia sang.
Dani nodded. "When we there be no one here?"
"Around noon. I already foresaw it. Joyce is going to do some shopping. While the rest of us are in school. At lunch, we'll come back here and destroy the crystal."
"Good plan," Dani said.
By the time it was lunch I was shivering with excitement. All we had to do is sneak out of the school, go home, bash down the door hiding Joyce's secret office and eliminate that monstrous thing once and for all. Than we'd have to kill Mac and Frost. Frost because…well she's a bitch; I'll let Lelia kill her. And Mac because of his power. He's too dangerous to be kept alive.
The others may stay alive. If proven any enemy they'll die too. I wasn't eager on killing them though, especially Gabriel.
He wasn't himself lately. I've to admit that I am worried about him. He can behave a bit out of character, but this is too far. Not helping me kill this thing? Not confident in doing so? Does he think I'm an idiot? I know him better than anyone else, and yet he plays these stupid games with me.
It hurt me a lot when he said he wasn't coming with me. We were going to destroy it together.
But, I guess things change. People change. For better or for worse. Gabriel hasn't taken a toll for the worse.
"KAIT!" Lelia lifted up her hand in a position to slap me.
"Ah!" I screamed and threw my hand to bloke her upcoming hand.
"What are you doing?!" I asked.
"You weren't listening to us! We've been talking 2 you for two minutes and then you just totally blanked out. It was scary as!" Lelia exclaimed.
"That would explain the fact that you almost slapped me," I said.
"Come on y'all. Just chill. Let's go," Dani said. They started to power walk towards the parking lot.
"Where?" I had to run to catch up to her.
"Hello! Earth to Linni! Remember your plan? You're acting really strange," Lelia gave me a concerned look.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little out of it today," a bus pulled up just in time.
We paid the bus driver then sat down.
"Way out of it," Dani said.
Once we got home, before we did anything to do with 'killing the crystal' we made saw no one was home.
"Coast's clear," Dani said from up stairs. I checked the labs to find the same result.
"No one is in the kitchen or Joyce's room. If we're gonna do this, we gotta do it now," Lelia said. "I'll watch the door," she brought up a stair and sat close to the secret door.
"Okay, Dani. Work your magic," I said, placing down my bag on the bench.
I heard a rumble. A bit like a meteor smashed onto the earth. It was a loud as rumble. When I turned around I saw a rhino.
"You stole a rhino, Linni?!" Lelia said with faked innocence.
"I couldn't help myself. The thing was so cute," I cooed.
"Cut it out you too," Dani rolled her big-ass rhino eyes at us.
"Okay, okay," I laughed.
"Step back," she said then charged at the door.
A she did was make a large dint.
"Are you kidding me?! A dint! This stuff must be thick as," Lelia complained.
"Hmmm, maybe I should be something else," Dani said.
'What 'bout a t-rex?" I asked.
"Nah, too big."
"I reckon you should give it one more shot then discuss a new animal if it doesn't work," Lelia said.
"I guess," I shrugged.
"Okay," Dani narrowed her eyes while concentrating on hitting where the dint was formed. Then she charged.
And what blew me away was that it worked. The door spit in two, just big enough for me to squeeze in.
"You did it!" I hugged Dani when she was human again.
"You go, girl," Lelia and Dani banged fists.
"Let's do this," Dani said.
I nodded. Then took a step into the all too familiar office. It looked exactly the same. Except…wait was that door there when I first came in here? There was a door in the middle of the office on the left wall. That must be where the crystal is!
I ran to the door and unexpectedly found that it was locked. And the only way in was if you knew the combination. There was a combination lock that shone on the wall beside the door.
"Shit!" I kicked the wall as hard as I could, regret in doing so as I felt swarms or pain rushing through my foot.
"Linni?" Dani frantic voice came from above.
"It got a combination lock," I growled.
"Crap!"
"What do I do?"
"Try to have a vision of the numbers," Lelia suggested.
"I'll try," I said.
I concentrated on numbers, combination lock, and Zetes's crystal. I tried to picture Zetes checking the crystal. Only way to get in is you knew the combination. Think, think, and think!
That's when I went into blank mode.
VISION:
I was standing there in front of the lock, standing motionlessly as if I was having a vision. Wait a sec. I was having a vision in front of the lock. Which means I'm having a vision of myself having a …vision? Wait, that's not write.
How is this helpful? How is watching myself having a vision going to solve anything?
Then I was typing something. And into the lock pad at that. I raised my eyebrows when I memorized the numbers.
1…4…2…5…1…2…9…2, I kept repeating in my head. I wonder what it stands for. No time for that now.
That's when the vision ended.
END OF VISION.
As I returned to my body I quickly typed the numbers in. Then pressed enter.
There was a click and the door swung open.
"Yes!"
I rushed into the room only to be confronted my Zetes. And the crystal.
He turned around and smiled.
"Kaitlyn, what a pleasant surprise. You don't mind if Gabriel joins out little talk do you?" he asked.
Suddenly, Gabriel appeared behind him and took a step forward for me to see him better.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Gabriel.
He didn't look at me. His eyes were planted on the crystal.
"I'm here because Zetes said he wanted to talk to me. He didn't mention you were coming along," his voice was harsh. It made me want to cringe.
"Well the, may I ask why are you here?" Zetes turned to me.
Shard in my hand, I lunged for the shard of the bad crystal only to collide with Gabriel. He pushed me to the wall and pushed his body against mine so I couldn't move.
"Let go of me," I growled.
"No."
There was a flicker of emission darting in his eyes. It was regret, sadness and anger all chewed up together.
But as soon as it appeared, it vanished.
Zetes laughed. "Well I'll just give you two a moment. But I will be back. Ta-ta," then he left, closing the door behind him.
I stared at Gabriel. Just stared at him. I didn't know how to feel towards him.
I loved him. I really do. But why is he here when he knows that I'm going to destroy the crystal?
"You shouldn't be here," he spat. I cringed.
"Why not?"
"Because now Zetes knows what you're going to do. And now he'll kill you."
"Why do you care whether he kills me or not.
"Because I love you," one of his hands cupped my face.
I scoffed. "Really? Then why did you bail out from destroying the crystal?"
"Because it will kill you. And I intend to stop you before actually put the two shards together," his grip on me tightened.
I gaped at him. Kill me? How can destroying the shards into the crystal will kill me? I mean. If anything wouldn't it eliminate the crystal?
Or maybe it was a trap. Maybe only one of the shards would kill the crystal. And it would probably be the good shard. But then why the two shards?
"I don't get it," I whispered.
He sighed, but not in annoyance. "Zetes ordered me to tell you the method so it will kill you. By combining the two shards with the crystal, it will kill you. If a shard falls off a crystal and you try to place it back because you assumed it would attach again, you'll get electrified. It might not kill you. But if you add in the other shard as well, the crystal will be destroyed, but the destroyer will perish to."
I stood there, horrified. He was ordered by Zetes to do that. And he carried it on. Why didn't he just refuse? If he hadn't told me this and Zetes didn't interrupt me….
"So if you and Zetes didn't come along I would be dead?" I pushed him off me with all my might. I just had time to slip out of his grip and bolt on the opposite side of him. I had the good shard in my hand. All I had to do was…
Zetes came through the door.
"How are we all? Done fighting?" he looked at our position: Gabriel was hovering over the crystal in a way as to try to stop me from throwing my shard into it. I was not as close to the crystal, but in a fighting stance.
Zetes grabbed the bad shard and walked over to the crystal.
'Kaitlyn, all we need is the shard. Give it to me please," he held his hand out.
I looked at Gabriel. And was astonished to see that a tear fell down his face. His eyes were all soft but his expression held sorrow and anger. Anger towards Zetes, sorrow towards me.
That's when I knew the either me or him was going to die today.
I had to stifle a gasp as I felt that warm feeling through my whole body.
Then I realized what it was. Gabriel was with me. He used his power so we were connected through a bond that allows us to communicate with our minds.
Kaitlyn?
I tried not to jump at the sound of his voice. Zetes would catch on quickly, so I kept my eyes on the crystal.
Yes?
Hold the crystal loosely.
Why?
Because I have an idea.
What is it?
Just watch. And I love you. I always have and always will.
I love you too. Forever.
If we get out of this place, the first thing I'm going to do is pack.
Where would we go? Anyway, I have to get back to my family.
Family? You mean your dad?
Yes. He lives with me with the Fellowship.
Where ever you go its fine with me.
If I wasn't so angry at Zetes I would throw myself at you.
'But it's partially my fault. If I didn't kill and –
Shhh. It's okay. Let's just destroy the crystal. Then we'll talk.
Okay. Remember to hold the shard very loosely. Okay?
Got it.
I focused myself on Zetes. Even though I was probably standing there looking like an idiot for five minutes, his expression didn't change.
"My dear? Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm f-fine," I stuttered on purpose.
He nodded then held out his hand again. The shard in his hand was dipped into the crystal. "The shard then, Kaitlyn.
I took one last look at Gabriel. He nodded slightly. I held the shard extremely loose. Loose enough for it to fall.
Suddenly everything happened at once.
Gabriel lunged at me, knocking me done lightly and grabbed the shard at intense speed. He ran to Zetes and threw the shard at the bad shard.
That when everything exploded. Zetes gave a horrible screamed and it was abruptly cut off. The shards were connected into Zetes's grip and were touching the crystal.
Then the crystal exploded. But not into fragments. Into sparks. Like miniature fireworks. And they were so colourful! And beautiful at that. The colours consisted of red, orange and yellow for some. Then blue, green and purple.
Then the mini fireworks kept going for about two minutes. Then they died done to nothingness. And there was no Zetes. I searched the whole room, not able to see him. He was gone.
I looked at the heap on the floor several feet away from me. His shirt was shredded and I could see all these tiny cuts on his back. They were bleeding but they were intensely red. There were about three huge ones and two little scratches.
He was lying on his stomach with his head faced away from me.
His black hair was messy and…
Gabriel!
I have crawled half ran to his side. I grasped his shoulder and turned him on his back. He was breathing but under his eyes were blackish purple. Signs of not having enough sleep. Hopefully they'll go away.
I pulled up into my lap, if that was possible. I have no idea where all this strength is coming from.
I layed his head against my shoulder. My hand grasped his back while the other was cupping his face.
"Gabriel?" I whispered.
His eyes were closed and he barely moved. But when I said his name, his eyes opened just a fraction.
"Kaitlyn?" his voice was weak. I started to sob. I clutched him to me. My forehead was on his and I was embracing him.
His eyes opened a bit wider.
"Shh, don't cry. Please don't cry," he caressed my cheek.
"You're hurt," I sobbed.
He shook his head. "No. I'm sore though. I banged my head pretty hard on the tiles after I threw the shard. It looks like Zetes went with it."
I nodded.
He gasped and slowly reached for my hair.
A tiny red strand fell over my eyes.
I gasped.
"I have my hair back," I said.
His eyes were wide. "I couldn't see properly before. But you have your gorgeous eyes back and your hair," he played with the strand.
"It must have been the crystal," I said.
He nodded.
All of a sudden I grimaced. "We better get out of here."
"Yeah. Let's go."
He moaned in pain as he sat up. I helped him to his feet.
I threw his arm over my shoulder as we walked carefully out.
Lelia and Dani rushed to us.
"Oh, my god," Dani yelled when she saw me.
"Your hair…your eyes," Lelia whispered.
"Everyone is up stairs."
"Joyce is crying though," Lelia said.
"She keeps repeating that she's sorry. And Frost and Mac took off and never came back."
"They better not come back," Gabriel snarled.
I nodded.
Once we reached upstairs, everyone stopped talking. All the attention was on us.
"It's gone," I said.
Joyce was the first to throw herself at me.
"I'm so sorry, Kaitlyn! It was the crystal. It made me act differently. And I'm so, so sorry," she sobbed.
"I forgive you," and smiled at her.
After a lot of apologies from everyone, I started a new subject.
"We can't stay here," I said firmly.
Gabriel nodded. He was sitting now with me in his lap.
"So Kait's thought of the perfect place for all of us to live," he grinned at me.
"We go back to the Fellowship," I said.
Anna was the first to say anything.
"I'm in," she grinned at me softly.
I smiled and nodded back. I looked over to Joyce.
"Yes. I'll come."
I looked at Rob.
"Well I guess I got to go. What if someone gets hurt? Then what-"
"In other words, you want to go," Gabriel teased.
Rob's eyes widened playfully. "Well. I guess,' they both laughed.
I looked at Lewis.
And he looked at Lydia. "I go where she goes," he hugged her.
Lydia looked at me and nodded. "I'm in as well."
"Renny?"
"Yep. I'm totally coming," he grinned.
"Bri?"
"Someone's got to make sure he doesn't get into trouble," she rolled her eyes at Renny.
"So. That's everybody. I'll let you all get packed and stuff," I said.
They nodded and went their separate ways into their rooms.
Gabriel kissed my cheek. "This is going to be great." His eyes were sparkling.
I grinned. "As long as I'm with you, where ever we live is fine with me."
He grinned.
Then kissed me.
"I love you, Kait," he said between kisses.
"Ditto," I smirked and he burst out laughing.
"Forever," his eyes were practically dancing.
I smiled and cuddled in his embrace.
THE END
A/N: Hi, I just wanted to say thank you to all the people who reviewed my story. I'm sorry it took a bit long to write and I didn't update as often as I would have liked. But I'm really happy with the reviews I got :)
I hope everyone liked it. It was a bit confusing at the end. I didn't add Sasha or Patre King. Sorry I didn't add them. I didn't really want them in my story so I just left them out.
Last time, thank you all for your reviews!
I really appreciate them all.
