Dark World 3: Annie's Darkness
Chapter 10:
LUKE'S POV
"Joan, Give me your microphone," I said.
"Why?" She handed it over to me.
"Annie!" I yelled into it. "I know you can hear me, you couldn't have gotten far. I know you want me dead. So please just stop this. Meet me in the Smithsonian museum…The one you use to pretend to work for. Just stop this and talk to me. I'll hand myself over." I said into it.
I knew I wouldn't get an answer but that was one thing I would have to live with. In the meantime I was going to have to get down to the Smithsonian and wait for her. I didn't know how long that might take. I just needed to get to the SmithsonianMuseum of Natural History.
"Luke, You cant hand yourself over." Allison said to me.
"I have a plan. Trust me." I said.
They looked solemn as I ran down the staircase to the Smithsonian. I had to go alone as well. I ran past blood filled halls and the dead. I saw mangled bodies everywhere I turned. I saw a blood stained portrait of George Washington. I shook my head and ran out to the city streets. I saw a few left over zombies and sent bullets in them. I heard shouts above and saw my friends on the roof. I took off away from the CapitolBuilding and headed down the street to the Smithsonian Institute.
INGRID'S POV
"Oh my god," I said.
"What?" Zane said.
"How did you get to this timeline?" I asked.
"They all used this thing called the bridge device. But it broke," he said.
"Oh then never mind," I said.
"Were you planning on using it to go to another timeline?" He asked.
"Maybe…" I looked off.
He laughed. I rested my head on his muscular shoulder. He sighed out and we watched the ocean roll over the sides of the boat. I was truly starting to miss Luke. Especially with Jack and Zane in their own little fling. Especially with Jack looking a small equivalent to Luke. They were both super tall and Zane and I were shorter than them. It gave me a sad vibe.
We looked over and saw the coast of India. The beautiful country I'd never had the pleasure of seeing before. Now I had to blow a part of it up. I guess I was becoming an action addict as well. I felt my hands ready to wire and blow up this place. I was ready. But not willing. It was confusing.
Zane breathed out and started to talk about Jack and Eureka.
"Of all the things in the world, I never thought something like this would happen. I use to go to clubs on the weekend and talk to guys about it…but I never thought It would actually happen." Zane said.
"Girls can make boys do anything," I smiled.
"Whatever," he laughed. "But thanks Ingrid, I owe you and Shawna big time."
"You should take Shawna shopping and humor her." I said.
"I'm not that kind of guy, I just like Jack. I'm not that whole let's go shopping and paint our nails type of Bi guy." He informed me.
I nodded, "I'd do it." I said.
"Go shopping with her? You really think I should?" He asked.
"Yeah, Just let her show you stuff and give comments. Tell her what makes her beautiful."
"God, Fine." He complained.
"Yay! Told you, girls. We got magic powers or something." I laughed again.
LUKE'S POV
Inside the Smithsonian I saw grass had started rising out of the cracks in it. It looked gross and abandoned as well. Which was sad considering. I had a feeling that by tonight everything was going to be resolved and fixed, starting with Annie. It had to be Annie first. She was the biggest playing card of this stack. She was the queen in a game of wizards chess. I chuckled and walked by a fallen Elephant. Rats scurried away from it as I walked into the marine life. I heard a footstep and turned around.
I heard wind rattle and I looked at the broken exhibits. A large sea mammal was swaying back and forth from it's one connecting wire. I saw a wall and it was covering in blood. It was dried but still.
"Annie?" I called.
There was no response. I sighed and walked back into the main lobby. I saw a rat run by and shrieked. I hated rats! They were awful. I got up and ran to the first floor gift shop. I looked around and took a few things to take back to Ingrid and the boys.
I smiled at the things I scored. Then I walked out and found a broken down vending machine. I broke down the glass and pulled out a water bottle. I opened it and let the tasteless musty water slid down my throat. I coughed and threw the bottle down. I walked down the hallway and looked at the old photos.
INGRID'S POV
When we docked in India Zane and Jack were holding hands. I smiled widely at them. It was adorable. We stepped off of the ship and got on dry land.
"Never Again." Myka said.
"That was impossible," Steve said.
"Seemed like you did fine with me," I shrugged.
"Yeah," Rhetta moved her glasses up. "I felt no problems."
We walked away from our stolen boat and headed up hill to the Indian town. Several people shouted at us about the boat and Myka threw the keys into the crowd. I walked with Shawna and Rhetta as we got closer to the warehouse. It was inland a ways. It was believed to be an old Monk temple, but really it wasn't.
"You two gay?" an Indian asked Zane and Jack.
"You are Indian?" Zane asked as we walked away.
I glanced back at the guy. His face was in a look of pure confusion. I couldn't help but laugh.
"They're Bi," Myka told him.
The man nodded and gave us a dirty look. I smiled at him, which only confused him more.
Steve hailed a Taxi and for the first time I realized that all the men we were with were into guys. I cracked up. When I told Shawna she started laughed as well. Everyone liked guys in our group. Talk about a mission. It was going to be fun. I got one of those jittery feelings where you just want to explode for no reason. You don't feel as if you're in your own body. It's like you're just so overcome with unexplained feelings that it just happens. I wanted to scream. It only made me laugh harder.
"What is it?" Jack asked.
"We…We all liked boys!" Rhetta cracked up.
They looked at each other. I saw the realization slowly dawn on them. It was pure joy for me. My day couldn't have gotten any better.
"That's hilarious," Zane said.
Steve laughed along with us.
LUKE'S POV
When Annie walked out behind me I gasped. I dropped all of the things I had collected and cleared my throat.
"What do you know Luke Conard," Annie asked me.
"I know you aren't yourself." I said.
"Aren't I?" She asked.
"Maybe I was always this crazy," Annie said.
"You weren't. And you want to know how I know? Because when you killed me I went to the afterlife and met the good side of you. She wants to get back. But you won't let her." I said. "Remember how you said you'd never forget me. You told me to let go and I still held on. Remember when we met on that plane and ran into Clay in the street. How we killed zombies and cured the world? All the times we laughed?" I asked.
"Shut up!" She yelled.
I looked into her eyes and saw the glimmer of her old self. It was working.
"Remember your sister Danielle and her kids, Remember Rhetta and the OCPD van. Remember when I rescued you two and we ran to Eureka? Remember when you worked for the CIA? Remember…" Then she pulled out another gun.
I heard a scream and she pulled the trigger. It wasn't from Annie this time.
The bullet ran into my left calf and lodged there. I fell back.
