Chapter 20

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" Reid yelled as he felt a large metal bat hit him on the back of his head. He fell onto the ground holding the bleeding gash on the back of his head.
"Hello Reidy," The toweled Nova said as she morphed back into Mikki. Reid had a shocked yet confused look on his face. "Surprised to see me aren't you? Quiet, sweet, trust worthy Mikki, a double agent," Mikki said with a evil grin. "All though you know all about betrayal don't you?"
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Reid asked as Mikki just laughed swinging the bat hitting Reid again. Reid's eyes turned into two back marbles and then a shock hit him as he noticed the metal rods Mikki had put on him.
"The way you cheated on me," Mikki yelled spitting on Reid.
"We only went out for a fucking day," Reid snapped trying to use his powers again but he was shocked again.
"Don't waste your power Reidy… We need it at it's fullest tomorrow," Mikki said with an evil glare.
"What do you mean?" Reid asked not having a clue what she was talking about.
"Spencer's bad boy never was the smartest piece of cake now was he?" Mikki said. "It's either you or her." She said pointing to Nova.
"What the fuck is this all about?" Reid asked. Just then Chase walked in.
"More power," Chase said casually as if he was listening in the conversation. Mikki then left.
"I thought you were.." Reid began.
"Dead?" Caleb asked with a chuckle. "It seems like all of you people thought that. I thought you'd give me more credit… I will NEVER die. Especially with the power I will be getting tomorrow."
"And what makes you think I'd will you my power?" Reid asked. Chase then pointed to Nova and a fire appeared around her.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Reid asked angrily.
"It's either you or them," Chase said. "Your free to go… Just meet me at the colony house before you ascend."
"I'm not leaving without her," Reid said as he stood up.
"That's not going to happen," Chase said as he pointed to Nova. She then fidgeted in pain.
"Reid… Go…" Nova said weakly.
"Did I tell you, you could talk bitch," Chase said walking over to Nova. "Maybe I should just kill you now."
"TOUCH HER AND I'LL KILL YOU!" Reid snapped.
"Don't even try fighting me. I've already ascended and have obtained two other sources of power," Chase said.
"Two?" Nova questioned weakly. Chase then put his hands on her shoulder. Nova then began chocking and gasping for air.
"FINE!" Reid snapped not wanting his girlfriend to be hurt. "I'll leave." He said walking towards the door.
"Meet me at the colony house tomorrow," Chase said. Reid gave him a hesitated nod. Nova looked terrified at her boyfriend. Reid gave her a reassuring look.
"I love you," Reid said before leaving. As he left tears began to pour out of Nova's eyes.
"Don't worry Nova… You'll be seeing him soon," He said as she gave him a questioning look. "You didn't think I was actually going to spare you did you?" He asked with a laugh. Just then Mikki came in.
"Everything is taken care of… Scott is knocked out cold along with Pogue," She said as she walked in.
"And Tyler?" He asked.
"Knocked out about a hundred yards into the woods," Mikki said. Chase then gave her an angry glare.
"I told you to kill them," He said angrily.
"I'm sorry," She said shocked by the fact that he was yelling at her.
"THIS COULD RUIN EVERYTHING!" He snapped pushing Mikki to the ground. "GO BACK THERE AND KILL THEM!"
"Chase I can't… They were my friends," Mikki said making Chase even angrier.
"Then you will except the same fate as them," Chase said quietly. He then opened up the small dungeon and pushed her down the steps. She fell down landing hard on her side. As she hit she could feel her ribs crack. She couldn't feel the physical pain because the emotional pain was too strong. She looked up and saw Nicole strapped to the wall in the corner. She was betrayed by the man she loved… And now she was trapped in a room with one of the friends she had betrayed for him.
