Chapter 11- Are we going to die?
Continued from last chapter…
"Switch on the lights!" the woman ordered. Immediately the dim room became bright. I looked around and I saw the Zoe girl strapped down to a bed with machines flashing and blaring. "Let me see mastermind!" she ordered "Oh and don't move. Well it's not like you're going anywhere!" she chuckled and walked out with the guards trailing behind and that woman who was apparently Oscar's mum but the other woman remained. Who the hell is mastermind? All I know is he isn't superman coming to save us…
We were all in stunned silence. I was cold, tired and hungry, not to mention scared. Oscar looked at me; he looked more so pale and ill. He looked fearful like I did. I looked around and then leaned forward
"Oscar" I said. He looked at me, his full attention directed to me. He kept his sad, pale and hopeless expression though. "Are we going to die?" There was no point asking that question. We all knew. I'm going to die today. We are going to die today. I wondered how a life of a spy was like. I used to think it was full of action and adventure when I was younger. Now I realise it's full of danger.
Oscar glanced at me.
"Hannah, if we die today then I need to tell you something. It's something that I have thought about for a while, well ever since I met you…" The next bit I wasn't expecting. "Hannah, I really like you"
When he said this I was shocked. How can he like me? I'm just a normal teenage girl who has just realised that her life was a lie and who is locked up in some crazy warehouse with a girl strapped to a bed, my exhausted, beaten and bloody newfound brother, a silent, unhelpful girl standing behind me, an evil, corrupted psychopath and the boy I've fancied ever since he walked through the door of my new classroom saying he loves me. So much has happened during this week that I can't get it all processed. Suddenly I start feeling very dizzy and ill, my vision goes blurry but I manage to say four words "I like you too". Everything goes black.
Oscar's POV
I had just admitted my feelings for Hannah. I've done it, I've done it! I thought that she was a little bit dumbfounded at first and I don't blame her. Suddenly, I see her look dazed and I hear "I like you too". Her head then falls forward. She looks like she's passed out.
"Hannah!" I cry. Her brother looks at me worriedly and the girl strapped to the bed looks sympathetic. I hope it's only shock or stress of something. I hope to god the crime minister hasn't injected her with something. I notice that the woman standing behind her is looking around. She then walked in front of her, kneels down and starts shaking her a bit to see if she would wake. She then lifts her face up to examine it. She then stands up and turns to me
"She's just passed out from stress or shock. Probably from that little sentence you said" she informed. She then knelt down again and got and syringe from the pocket of her black, leather coat. She inserted it in the side of her neck, stood up and placed the syringe back in her pocket. She turned around again and smiled. "The drug I injected should bring her around in about a minute" I was relieved with that but still I didn't trust her.
"Why did you help her? Who are you?" I asked. She looked up and down at me
"I'm someone who cares" she said finally
"Cares? You don't care, you're KORPS!" I spat. She glared at me and then walked towards me and looked at me
"I care because I'm not one of them"
She took of her jacket to reveal a plain black tank top. On her arm there was a tattoo. I leaned in as far as I could to see what it was. It was a union jack and it had 3 bold letters underneath it which were: I.I.A. I then immediately knew!
"You work for the International Intelligence Agency!" I exclaimed, happy to see someone apart from the other captured MI high spies that were on our side. The boy also like relieved as well
"Wow, how long have you been here?" he asked, his voice stronger but still with a hint of tiredness and weakness. She turned to him
"Yes, I've been here for over 6 months now, undercover. My name is Caitlyn Singleton" she says in a lowered tone. She looked at the girl who was smiling. I wonder why she's not speaking. Suddenly, I hear footsteps. "I'm sorry" she whispered and then swiftly, she punched me in the face.
"ARGH!"
I felt blood trickle down my face. My nose was definitely broken.
"Don't you dare be cocky with me! You're lucky I didn't do worse than a punch!" she shouted as the crime minister, mum and some KORPS guards pushing a lit up tank came in.
"Jacobs, what has he done?" The Crime Minister asked.
"This scum was being cocky and rude! MI9 filth!" she spat and then she actually spat in my face! I would off shouted something like dirty little slag but she was on our side so I decided against it and I didn't want another punch. She then walks towards the crime minister. I see Hannah move her head slightly and then hear her groan. She then lifts her head up and squints
"Oscar?" she asks, groggily. "What happened?"
I was about to speak when I was interrupted by the Crime Minister's booming voice
"Shut up! You're about to see what's going on!" The woman walked over to the crime minister. "Connect the mastermind" the crime minister ordered. The guards obeyed and pushed the tank to the machines beside the girl and started connecting up wires.
"Ready crime minister" one of the guards informed.
"Excellent! Inject BETA 1912" Crime minister ordered.
I watched them pour a liquid, presuming it was Hannah's blood, into the machine. I watched in horror as the tank went from a dim orange to bright orange.
"I am the mastermind" a low and evil voice boomed. Mum seemed to be clapping and the crime minister grinning malevolently. Caitlyn seemed to have a face of excite also a hint of horror somehow. She was either very good at disguise or she was pretending to be on our side. But she did have the tattoo and if she was pretending then why would she have told us that anyway? It's not like we're going to live much longer. Wait, why am I thinking we're going to die. MI9 is coming and rescue us, right?
"Good to be back isn't it mastermind" the crime minister asked the tank
"Yes, good. Very good. Excellent in fact! Now are we going to do the task we have wanted to do for far too long?"
The crime minister nodded and walked towards the girl. She said something I couldn't make out and the girl appeared to be shaking.
"For a new and glorious world with KORPS on top!" the psychopath yelled and flicked a switch. There was a crackle and buzzing. White light shone around them. I then heard a slight cough.
"Please! Someone help me!" an electronic girl's voice begged. The Crime Minister just laughed.
"Oh it'll be over soon! Very soon!" she exclaimed.
It was over too soon. The buzzing had stopped and everyone was silent. The girl looked limp. The tank wasn't glowing and looked dead.
"No!" the boy yelled and I watched as he lowered his head and started to sob. Hannah was shaking and she looked like she was going to cry. The Crime Minister looked very concerned. "Check her pulse!" she ordered anxiously. The guards obeyed. They then turned to her and shook their heads. The Crime Minister looked like she was going to kill everyone in the room but then I saw the girl move! The guard noticed this too. "Wait!" they ordered and the Crime Minister went to her. I noticed that she was starting to wake up. I thought their plan had failed for a second…
"GET ME OFF THIS VILE BED! NOW!" Mastermind screamed, her voice was deeper and darker.
The Guards immediately started to unbuckle the straps. When they were finished, the girl or the girl sharing a consciousness with an evil psychopath jumped off the bed. The Crime Minister seemed to be talking to her. But then she did something startling. The Crime Minister pulled something from her thigh. The kid took it with no complaints. I knew exactly what it was. She then smiled grimly and started to walk towards us. I knew what she was going to do
"But you… you can't! Please no!" I pleaded. When she had reached us and turned to me.
"Oh nothing will change my mind, not you, not anyone!" Mastermind boomed in his low voice and she waved a dagger in front of my horror stricken face. The handle was blue and gold with blood stains. I feel sorry for the poor soul who had been killed by the god forsaken dagger. She then turned around and was stood in front of Hannah. Hannah looked up into her cold dark eyes. She raised her arm with the dagger, about to strike
"Zoe! NO!" the boy yelled anxiously. She turned around and flashed me an evil grin
"Say goodbye, bitch" I heard her say
"HANNAH!"
Ooh Cliffy :P yep I'm evil and I'm sorry, I thought this would be the last chapter but I wanted a cliff hanger and another twist… Listen up, right I'm doing a sequel but I might cancel as my story hasn't had the appreciation it deserves. I will finish this story and probably do the sequel but I maybe not. I would ask if someone passed this message around and ask to review, you don't have to but I would appreciate it! PLEASE REVIEW IF YOU HAVE READ THIS! THX xxxx
