Chapter 27: Betrayal

Dave walked on a B3 catwalk, looking for any clue of what was going on. Then, he heard some commotion going on above him.

(A few minutes earlier...)

Jake and Rose ran to B2, trying to get out when they heard a laugh. They turned to see the Huntsmaster. Jake transformed when he was suddenly pinned to the wall. "What is going on here!" Jake exclaimed. "A dead end, the door was just a fake," the Huntsmaster said. The Huntsmaster then put a HuntsStaff in Rose's hands. "Now is the chance for you to redeem yourself. Kill him." Rose looked at the staff, then at Jake. She took aim at him. "Rose! No!" he yelled right before she shot him. It hit his left shoulder but only barely. 'Jake, know that I hit you on your shoulder so I wouldn't kill you. I love you too much,' Rose thought.

The Huntsmaster shoved Rose aside and grabbed the HuntsStaff. "If you won't kill him, I will," he said and took aim at Jake. Right before he fired, Rose jumped at the Huntsmaster, knocking both of them over the catwalk. Rose hit the catwalk Dave was on and the Huntsmaster missed and plunged further down, possibly to his death. Rose was unfortunately unconscious. Dave bent down next to her. "I will be back. I promise," he whispered to her.

Dave ran to the stairwell to see Karalyn standing there. "Dave, I want to talk to you," she said. They walked down to B4. Karalyn then tripped on the catwalk and hurt her ankle. Dave put her on his back. "I am going to show you what is going on here," she told him. From afar, they were being watched. 'She thinks she can flirt with me then do this? She doesn't know Brian,' he thought and then shot Karalyn with his HuntsStaff. She fell off Dave's back while Brian ran. Dave held her close as she said, "I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt. I just wanted to be powerful," she told him. "Karalyn...," Dave said softly. "I am just a girl. A girl who fell in love with you," she said and then moved closer to Dave. Their lips met in a kiss and after a few seconds, Karalyn died in his arms and went limp. Dave laid her on the catwalk, putting her hands over her chest, right over her heart. "I will be back Karalyn. I will see you in heaven where dragons go," he said. He then left to go to B2 to check on Jake.
