Chapter 13: Reign of Memory
Will Karl actually shoot his brother?
Thomas stands facing Karl, who is holding the gun to him.
"Come on Karl, are you actually going to shoot me?" Thomas taunts staring at Karl, who is trying not to give in.
"If I have to I will." Karl says still holding the gun on him.
"You wouldn't actually." Thomas says taking an inch towards Karl.
"Stay back or you'll be sorry." Karl says gripping his finger around the trigger.
"Karl, we both know you wouldn't shoot me if your life depended on it. Now let's end this." Thomas says walking towards Karl, who is slowly putting his gun down. He puts his gun down as Thomas approaches.
"You're right let's settle this like men." Karl says now putting his gun away. When Karl puts his gun away a sudden rush of pain hits him. He looks down to see he's been stabbed then up at Thomas who is smiling.
"Why Thomas?" Karl asks now toppling over.
"If your life depended on it and it did." Thomas says now spitting on Karl and walking off to find Van and Fiona, leaving Karl in pain holding his abdomen.
Security room hall*
Irvine and Moonbay are still lying out. Irvine suddenly moves and opens his eyes. He looks over at Moonbay who is still unconscious.
"Man not Moonbay." Irvine groans getting up. He crawls over to Moonbay and shakes her slightly.
"Moonbay wake up. Are you ok?" Irvine asks shaking her, but no response.
"Moonbay it's me Irvine. Can you hear me?" Irvine tries again this time picking up her right hand and feeling for a pulse in the wrist. He can feel a pulse.
"She's still alive. I have to get her someplace safe." Irvine says now standing up himself. He leans down and picks Moonbay up.
"Hey Moon, ever heard of a diet." Irvine says now getting her in a comfortable position and turns to walk away. Before he gets a good inch, Van and Fiona run up to him.
"Irvine are you ok?" Van asks looking at Irvine and now seeing Moonbay. "What happened to her?"
"Thomas got her too. I'm fine." Irvine says looking at the unconscious Moonbay. "Where is Thomas now?"
"He's with Karl. I tried to help, but he told me to get Fiona to a safe place." Van explains. "Something and anything could have happened to him."
"You should have stuck around regardless of what he said. Thomas is dangerous and is capable of anything. Leaving him can and will mean death." Irvine says noticing Van's guilty expression.
"Will Moonbay ok?" Fiona inquires curiously.
"She still has a pulse. Listen we have to get Moonbay and Fiona to a safe place, then Van you and I are going to hunt Thomas down." Irvine says taking another look at Moonbay. "This ends today."
"Let me help you out there." Van says walking up to Irvine and taking Moonbay from him. "Let's find someplace safe."
Outside the base*
Diana is sitting in the gustav thinking anything could happen with Thomas in there with them.
"I can't be out here when anything could be going on." Diana says now climbing out of the gustav. She closes the cock pit door and runs back up to the base.
Inside*
Van and Irvine found a remote room near the hangar for the girls to hide until Thomas is dealt with.
"Fiona you stay here with Moonbay until she wakes up and if she asks, I'm taking care of business." Irvine says. Fiona nods.
"Let's go." Van says as he and Irvine leave the room and being the search for Thomas.
Exit/Entrance*
Diana has made it back in and is looking frantically around the halls for Irvine, but instead can hear some groaning off in the distance.
"Irvine." Diana calls out.
No response, but the groaning continues. Diana runs in the direction of the sound. She sees a figure up ahead that is lying on the ground rolled up.
"Irvine is that you?" Diana asks now getting closer and can see a blonde. Diana gets a bit closer and can now see its Karl. She runs over and kneels at his side.
"Are you ok Karl?" Diana says turning him over slightly.
"Thomas, he stabbed me." Karl chokes out.
"You're going to be ok. Just come on." Diana says helping him off the ground and helping him to his feet.
"Thanks Diana." Karl says weakly smiling.
"No problem. Where is First Aid?" Diana asks turning to Karl.
"Make a right up ahead and then make a left. First door to your left." Karl explains as Diana now walks in that direction.
Hall A*
Van and Irvine are still searching every area for Thomas.
"I wonder where that scum ran off to." Irvine wonders.
"Not Far. He's looking for me or Fiona. So more then likely not far." Van says watching behind him and Irvine.
Remote room*
Fiona is sitting at the desk in the room and thinking about Van.
"I hope he's ok." Fiona worries. While worrying about Van, Moonbay suddenly comes to and sits up. She looks around the room and then over at Fiona, who turns to her.
"Moonbay you're awake." Fiona says running over to her.
"Yeah I am. Where's Irvine?" Moonbay asks now noticing Fiona's sad expression.
"Nothing happened to him did it?" Moonbay asks now worried herself.
"He told me to tell you he's handling business." Fiona says turning away from Moonbay's gaze.
"Fiona you have to tell me where he is," Moonbay says getting upset.
"He's off with Van who is looking for Thomas. They asked that we stay out of sight." Fiona explains.
"I can't stick around knowing something may have happened to them." Moonbay says standing, but stumbling.
"No Moonbay you have to stay." Fiona says grabbing her by the arm. "Something may happen to you and I won't allow it."
"Fiona, I'm sorry. I can't let them be out there alone when that psycho could have gotten to them." Moonbay fusses.
"I know, but if you leave now, who will be here with me? You are suppose to be here with me and not move." Fiona argues back.
Moonbay thinks a bit, but then backs up into the room.
"You're right. If something happened to you, I wouldn't forgive myself." Moonbay says sitting back down.
"Besides they are out there fighting for us." Fiona says calming down. "They know what they are doing."
Moonbay looks at Fiona, who smiles. Moonbay gives a weak smile.
First aid*
Diana has finally gotten Karl to First aid and has gotten him in bed.
"You're going to be ok Karl. Just relax." Diana says smoothing out Karl's hair.
"Thanks Diana. I could have died if you haven't found me." Karl says lying back.
"I couldn't go back without knowing either of you were ok." Diana says fixing the cover.
"That was brave of you to take a chance." Karl says now staring up at Diana. "How about after I get better you join me for dinner one night."
Diana turns red in the face and then giggles a bit.
"Yeah sure. I would love to." Diana says putting a smile on Karl's face.
Van and Irvine*
"Man I'm tired of walking. This is what I'm going to do." Irvine says raising his voice. "Thomas come out of hiding you coward."
"Who said I was scared?"
Van and Irvine turn around to face Thomas with a blood stained knife.
"I'm not a coward, but lucky I did find you. I got rid of my brother, so now it's time to take care of the rest of you." Thomas says holding up the blood stained Knife.
"You didn't." Van says as his mouth runs dry.
"This is his blood. I don't think he's still alive." Thomas says inching towards Van and Irvine.
"You bastard. How could you? Your own flesh and blood." Irvine growls.
"He got in my way." Thomas says smiling evilly. "Something you two are guilty of continuously doing."
"I hope you burn in the fiery depths of hell." Van says taking out his father's knife.
"Do you think that little dart is going to work?" Thomas taunts. "Why do you think he isn't here now?"
"You leave my father out of this. He was a better man then you ever will be." Van yells.
"Yeah so I keep hearing. Let's get this over with so you can join him." Thomas says. Van can't take anymore of his talk and plunges at him without remorse.
"Van he has a gun as well." Irvine yells.
"You talk too much you know that?" Van yells taking blows to Thomas's temples. Thomas just grins as he continues to endure the hits from Van, waiting to get his hits.
"Irvine go see if Fiona and Moonbay are alright." Van yells now being thrown off Thomas.
"I'm not leaving you van." Irvine says helping him get up.
"I'll be ok, just go now." Van says getting on his feet and charging back at Thomas.
"Van." Irvine calls.
"I'm not going to say it again." Van yells dodging the blows from Thomas.
Remote room*
Fiona gets a disturbing feeling that just hit her just now.
"Oh no." Fiona says now getting Moonbay's attention.
"What's wrong?" Moonbay asks concerned.
"Thomas. "Fiona chokes out. "He's hurting Van."
"No you are not leaving this room." Moonbay says to Fiona.
"I have to." Fiona says getting up and running towards the door, but is stopped.
"Fiona if something happens to you, who's going to hear you. I'm not going to let you take that chance." Moonbay says holding her back. "Irvine is with him so you know he'll be ok."
Fiona relaxes in Moonbay's arms and turns back.
Hall A*
Thomas has gotten Van on the ground. Van is holding his shoulder.
"I told you. You are no match for me." Thomas says kicking Van in the stomach.
"You're not a real man. Real men don't need weapons to fight. Let's see what kinda man you are without your knife." Van chokes out while holding his bloody shoulder.
"I don't need to because you are where you should be." Thomas says kicking him one more time.
"Why don't you pick on me for a change." Irvine says now having seen enough.
"Irvine don't. I told you don't interfere." Van says struggling to sit up.
"Van I'm not about to keep letting you get hurt like this." Irvine says not taking his eyes off Thomas.
"He wants to join you. I say the more the merrier." Thomas says holding up the knife again.
"Let's see what kinda man you are without that weapon." Irvine says as Thomas grins. "Bring it."
"You're just as dumb as your friend here, but I know how to handle stupidity." Thomas says dropping the knife.
Who will win this fight? And why is the chapter ending here? My head ran dry of thoughts. -_-! Hate it when it does that. Anyway review telling me how you like it ,and flamers get a life no one hears you.
Review and thanks.
