My Favorite Mistake
Chapter 11
Is's Ambition
POV Is
I stood and stomped across the room, grumbling. The rest of the Erasers were celebrating the latest achievement in Itex, so I had the girls' quarters to myself.
"Max is so stupid!" I cried, feeling annoyed that I couldn't think of anything worse to say about Max than pointing out her stupidity, "I can't believe she almost beat me!" I stopped pacing, "She would've beat me!" my eyes widened in realization, "She would've gladly kicked my ass all the way from here to Europe! She's strong! She killed Rik, didn't she?"
"Who says she killed Rik?" a man's voice said. Rik stepped out of the shadows, making me jump a little, "Does it look like she killed me?"
"Rik…" I said, "I…I…I…I mean…you…I saw you! You died!"
"I almost died. It's much different. I only have a little time left, but I need you to do something for me, Is. I need revenge," Rik said bloodthirstily. He stepped forward triumphantly but stopped and held his head. He looked…sick to his stomach….but why? "Shit!" he cried, "It's almost…"
"Almost?" I asked, catching Rik as he fell, "Almost what, Rik? Tell me!"
Rik chuckled as much as you could chuckle when your heart is slowing down, "My life. It's almost over. Damn." He gasped for air, barely making his words understandable, "Listen to me, Is. You're my only hope for revenge! You have to kill Maximum Ride."
"Why me?!" I cried out in panic, "I can't! She'll kill me! She's stronger than I am!"
"Then TRAIN!!!" Rik snapped. I hadn't expected that. Wasn't he dying? And if you were dying, did you have the strength to snap at people like that?
"But why me?" I snapped at him.
"You're the only one I ever trusted," Rik said, "The only one I ever loved. You have to kill her. If you don't, I'll haunt you for the rest of your damned life." I shuddered at the last words. If he loved me, why did he want to haunt me? It made no sense, but then again, nothing was making sense right now.
Rik became heavy in my arms, and I knew he had died. That sucks…I walked over and sat on a chair, grief overcoming me.
Training…yes…I needed that….I would need more training than anyone had ever needed in their life. Ever.
So, training.
Ambition replaced the hurt. I stood and began to walk to the gym. Training. What a concept.
Don't worry, Rik, I thought, I will kill Maximum Ride. If it's the last thing I do.
Again, sorry this chapter is so short, but I think it's a good place to stop. I promise, chapter 12 makes up for this in length….it's really really really long……and sadly only took me an hour or so to write whereas chapter 13 has taken me several days…weirdness…anyways review or there shall never be another chapter!!!!!! (just kidding!!!)
