Chapter 20: Twists and turns
(Amy's P.O.V)
I let out a pained breath as the group walked into the library, a small frown on my face. I still wasn't sure how I was still standing after the fight, being teleported back to the mansion, and sprinting straight for the library with everyone else.
Oh god, everything hurts.
"How the hell are the three of us still standing?" I questioned Megan, who was still walking around the hallway area with her arms out in front of her, looking like a blind zombie. Heck, the only reason she's not lost right now is because right before all of us broke into a sprint, Amethyst had grabbed her hand and led her here.
"Adrenaline can do amazing things." Megan said to the wall.
Violet sighed, "We need to get you a new pair of glasses." She said, before she tried to open the library door, cursing when the doorknob wouldn't open, "Damn thing is lock. Why the hell is it locked?" Violet muttered, before kicking the door down.
Amethyst blinked, "You couldn't just try to pick the lock?" She muttered, before following everyone else into the library, stopping at one of the bookshelves.
All the books that were once in on the shelf were now all over the ground, the lever fully exposed.
That's already a huge red flag.
Violet pulled down the lever, none of us expecting what we saw when the shelves open up.
Where the stairway once was, rubble had blocked everything. Amethyst cringed while backing up slightly, clutching Jayden's hand when rocks crumbled under the weight of rocks piled on top. "Chicken." Glitchz said with a small smile at Amethyst's reaction.
"I wasn't scared of the rocks," Amethyst said, before pointing at one of the spaces, "I was cringing at the hand."
At first, I assumed that Amethyst was pulling our legs; but, right before anyone could scold her, we all heard it.
The sound of a muffled, "Help".
Alec screamed like a girl, as a hand pushed its way through the rubble, trying to grab at the library light.
Violet's eyes widened immensely, before she fell onto her knees, digging into the rubble.
It took a few seconds of trying to click the puzzle pieces together, before everyone else followed Violet's actions, and moments later, Jayden grabbed Randy's wrist and pulled him out.
Randy wasn't looking that good. His light brown hair was caked with dust and dirt, the same stuff coating his shirt and pants, both of which were ripped. But, all that aside, he still had a small smile on his face, his phone in his other hand, "So, what did I miss?" He asked, as if he had never been crushed by rubble.
Violet punched him in the side, trying to ignore the single tear running down the side of her face, "Don't you ever pull a stunt like that, or I swear to God, I will bring you back to life so I can kill you personally." She hissed.
Amethyst managed to pull Violet off, before Megan questioned the floor next to my feet, "So, Randy, what happened here?"
Randy sucked in air like a dying fish, before saying, "The spy, he was here."
Alec stared at him like he was crazy, "Now you sound like you've been playing to many video games." He said, before Glitchz slapped the back of his head.
"Let the guy explain what's going on." She hissed.
Randy sighed, "it's not his fault, I didn't explain everything, so of course I sound like I'm playing to much Team fortress 2." He then explained the whole "Spy-in-the-mansion" thing, Me and Megan jumping whenever he looked confused.
I made the time-out sign, "You still need to explain how the hell all of 'this' happened." I said, gesturing to the caved-in stairway.
"Like I said earlier, he was here." Randy explained, before sneezing from the dust that was still in the air, "I was watching the screens, and I saw a guy with a black hoodie and ripped jeans, that's the guy you and Megan saw before, right?" We both nodded, the only difference between us was the fact that Megan was now nodding towards the bookshelf, "I only noticed him when I glanced at the right screen." He then scratched the back of his head, an embarrassed look spreading across his face, "I panicked, I jumped under this large cardboard box."
Seconds passed, before Glitchz held her hand over her mouth, a wide smile hidden under her hand, while Alec fell onto the floor, the only thing holding him up were his hands, as he laughed his head off, "You did what?" He said in between laughs, now pounding his fist into the ground.
Amethyst kicked him in the back of his head, causing him to fall face-first into the ground, an irritated look on her face, "Will you stop acting so immature!? If anything, you should be happy that Randy's still alive after all the crap he has been through." At this point, Glitchz stopped laughing, hoping that she wouldn't have to suffer Amethyst's wrath.
Violet nodded on the side, "I fully agree with Amethyst. At this point, we can't afford to act like this. It's bad enough that Amy can be like that, but for you to act like this should not be tolerated."
"Yeah, you guys have to stop acting like me!" I said, a proud smile on my face, before I pieced all the pieces together, "Hey! I'm not that dumb!" I yelled out in fury.
Violet waved me off, "We are getting off topic. Please, Randy, go on." She said, the shadow of a smile on her face as she tried to keep in the laughs.
"Well, while I was under the box, I heard him say something about his job here being done soon, then the sound of an object being placed onto the desk, before he left." Randy went on, looking a bit traumatized, before going on, "Once he went back up to the library, I got out from under the box to look at what he placed on the desk, only to try and run up the stairs moments later when I found out that it was a bomb."
"Well, that explains a lot." Jayden said, kicking a rock that had stopped rolling at his feet.
"Do you think that he noticed you we're in the room, that's why he blew up the camera room?" Megan asked, giving up on trying to locate us all as she sat down, leaning against the bookshelf across from us.
"It could be a possibility." Randy said back, as Violet helped him get on his feet.
I was no longer listening to their conversation, thinking all of these facts out on my own. Personally, none of it made sense. If this spy did know that Randy was hiding, then why didn't he kill him instead of blowing up the entire camera room, that wouldn't be the smartest thing to do if this guys main objective was to watch us from a place no one would know about. Unless, what ever his objective was had already been completed...
"This is really confusing." I said aloud, getting really frustrated really quickly.
It was only seconds later that I noticed that the room had gone silent, "What?"
"Well, none of us would think that you would think this out," Glitchz said, a straight look on her face, "You know, cause you not exactly, umm, smart."
I wanted to feel offended, but I kept myself from it. Of course people think that I'm stupid, but it was okay, being stupid is just another way to get laughs out of people.
"Well, I was just wondering, don't you think that it's weird that this guy blew up the camera room instead of just killing Randy, unless he either really did not notice Randy in the room, or if he was finished with the room and whatever his mission was. But, if he was done with his mission, would it be easier to just leave this room unless he was sure that someone was on to him?" I said, letting my thoughts out of my aching head, a small headache erupting because of all the thinking I was doing.
Again, it was quiet.
"Wow," Alec said, a look of pure shock on his face, "Not only do you have a brain, but you also know how to use it, I'm impressed." He didn't have time to move when Amethyst stomped on his foot, hard.
"That could be a very good point." Violet said, Alec cursing from the pain behind her.
Just like that, something in my head clicked, "What if this guy was working with that team of people that keep coming after us? I mean, it would make sense. This guy could be the link to his team and the reason they know a lot about our each other, the inside information guy."
Jayden thought about, before asking, "Randy, did this spy say anything else?"
Randy thought about it, before saying, "I can only remember him saying stuff like, 'My work here is done'."
"What would his objective be?" Alec asked, talking more to himself then us.
"It would have to be something that his team would see as a key objective." Violet ruled out.
Then, just like last time, her words clicked into place.
Before anyone could stop me, I had already sprinted out of the room, a new burst of adrenaline the only thing keeping me on my feet as I ran up the stairs to the fifth floor, a thin line of tears streaking down my face and behind me.
...Main objective...
...Oh god no, please let me be wrong...
I didn't knock, as I shoved my shoulder into the door, surprised and terrified that it was open.
Slowly, I approached Mewtwo's door, which was slightly open as well.
Once I stepped into the room, nothing could stop the scream that came out of my throat.
The once clean and organized room was in ruins, books and papers spread out all over the floor, along with the bed sheets and window curtains. That wasn't that part that made me scream, I screamed because of the blood that was smeared on the walls, desk, floor and the bed sheets.
I tried to steady my breathing, wishing and hoping to God that all of this was a dream, a harmless nightmare that I would wake up from soon, but I never dream with smell. All hope faded when the door behind me creaked, a piece of paper falling to the ground face first.
I picked up the paper with a trembling hand, red ink writing on the other side. I read through it, before my breathing stopped, the paper falling out of my grasp as i collapsed to the ground, screaming and crying for what seemed like hours before Megan and the others caught up with me.
"Don't you ever pull a stunt like that!" Megan said angrily, the scowl on her face mirroring the one on Violet's face as well.
"What made you run so fast?" Violet questioned, tapping her foot on the floor, not liking the fact that she had to wait for her answer, before grabbing me by my collar, hulling me up in front of her, my feet dangling a few inches off the floor, "Don't ignore me, answer my question." She yelled at my face, her brown eyes burning holes into my now-dull grey ones.
Amethyst pushed Violet back, which made her surprised enough to let go of my collar, only for me to fall back, leaning my shaking frame onto the wall, "What the hell is wrong with you!? Can't you see that she's shattered, or are you really that bad of a friend?" She hissed, before giving me a calm look, so unlike the tone she had just used, "You okay, Amy? Is something wrong?" She asked calmly, her hand looked like she wanted to reach out, but held it back, unsure of what I wanted.
I couldn't say anything, as I snatched the paper off the ground, handing it to Megan, who took it from me like it was a fragile object. She read it over, then held a look of shock, before reading it again, "Oh shit." She muttered under her breath.
Glitchz, who seemed really impatient, shouted a curse, "You wanna let the rest of us in on whatever is on that paper?" She said, voice dripping with venom.
Megan looked like she wanted to speak, but instead handed the note to Violet to read out loud.
I didn't need to hear Violet to know what was on the note, the words were already stuck in my head, forced to constantly remind me that it would never leave my mind.
"I'll admit; it was a fun game. Alas, I won. You'll never find the body."
