Okay, sorry it took me a while to update, I've been doing a lot. Here's the story.
Everyone's under the table a millisecond before the wall to my right...
Explodes. I shield my head and feel Tobias to the same next to me. I sigh with relief,
he's not hurt...yet.
When the wall seemed to stop crumbling, we all crawl from under the tables.
Tobias immediately takes action.
"Everyone, we must go to the storage rooms! They aren't above ground, therefore hard to
bomb." He says in his Four voice, I would have mooned over that if not for the situation.
We all jog down the steps, past the chasm, past the dormitories. I take in as much as I
can in fear of never seeing it again.
Cara is the last one to fit safely in the storage rooms, leaving Caleb,
Christina, Peter, and I. Of course. We look at Tobias but he shrugs helplessly. I hear
Christina start weeping silently,we don't acknowledge it except Peter, of course, because
its embarrassing. I start to squirm, other peoples crying has always made me
uncomfortable. It's like seeing someone too openly. Peter clears his throat and we all
look at him.
"I found this place one day, I think it'll be safe." He turns on his heel and starts
walking down a hallway. We follow desperately. He leads us to a room you wouldn't have
seen on your own.
I eye it. It looks to be made of a dark wood. There's carving lining the trim and
a brass knob. It looks extremely out of place but I don't put much thought into it. We all
file in.
When we're all in, Peter locks the door. He pulls out a block and points it at
us like a weapon.
I roll my eyes, "I'm so scared of a block." He just smirks at me.
"So, I bet you're wondering, what's going on." I hear a couple grunts, "Well do you
remember Mr. Hogan, well he's leading the bombing. I figure some of you have already
figured that out." I hear more grunts, one of them being mine, "Well, I gave him all the
inside information, like where a room that's above ground is and what time we'll all be
in there." He pauses and looks at us with a grin. "My job is to kill you guys!"
"Why? Whats their problem with us?" I ask.
"Because you ruined their beautiful experiment." He says rolling his eyes, "I'm only in
it so I can get back at you losers. " He says with another smirk.
I'm confused, "What did we do?" I ask.
"Please, don't act all innocent. They told me about what you losers did to me." I roll my
eyes, probably all lies.
"I'm going to lock you in here so they can bomb it!" Then with that, he spins and begins
to walk towards the locked door. I se Tobias lunge at him.
"No! Tobias!" I scream. Peter swirls around and jabs Tobias with the block. Tobias goes
into a sort of seizure like state. (I don't know much about tazers!) We all look up him
in awe.
"I knew one of you would be stupid enough to try that." He spits. I see Christina crumble
to her knees.
"Peter, I thought you loved me!" I look at her with awe now, "You said so! I didn't do
anything! She did!" And with that she jabs a finger at me. I feel a stab in my heart.
I see his eyes soften, "Come here." He opens his arms warmly.
Christina practicaly stumble towards him. Right before she's in his arms though,
she wretches her body and grabs the block. She squeezes a button and stabs it into Peter
neck. He collapses and seems to be having a huge seizure. I wretch my eyes from him to
Christina. She runs to me crying.
"I'm sorry about what I said! I should have said something different! I-I-"
I grin at her, "We may need those acting skills soon." She stops her sobbing and looks at
me. She smiles with relief. We here a groan and I look at the doorway. Tobias seems to be
struggling up. I run up to him.
"Are you okay?" He just s nods, too weak to answer. I drag him out of the room. Christina
follows and Caleb follows.
"We need to get from far from here as possible. We wait a minute so Tobias can gain his
balance. We walk down the hall slowly.
"So..Your names ?Tobias?" Christina asks maliciously. Tobias just grunts. He's never
liked this topic. Just then, we hear a boom from the end of the hall. Peters dead. I
shrug, he's tried to kill me many times. I know that's just sick that I don't seem to care
much, but in the end, he deserved it. I look at the others. The only one who seems to be
a little upset.
"Whats wrong Caleb?" I ask him as we walk down the next hallway. We figured that they
probably think we're dead, so we don't have to worry about being found.
He looks at me, "He just died."
I shrug, "He deserves it." Everyone nods. He looks shocked by our reaction but stays
quiet. He's learning.
"I want to see if any of them are in the building I say. They all gap at me, except
Tobias.
"No, you are not going to find them." He says firmly.
"Why?" I ask him as innocent as possible.
He looks at me, "Because you will try to kill them." I should've known that. He knows me
better than I know myself.
I wretch my body from his and start running to the cafeteria. When I get their, I
see Hogan and 3 other men. The others come up behind me. Hogan turn s his head and faces
us.
He grins, "Why, if it isn't my favorite people?" I juts stand there, "It looks like that
pathetic Peter didn't make it. I knew he was too stupid. I now here he has a type of
accent.
I speak up, "You're not american."
He grins, "What a smart girl. If only I didn't have to kill you." And with that, he pulls
his gun and pints it at me. I don't have enough time to react. He's pulled the trigger
and the bullet is hurtling towards me. I see a body cross me and it collapse. I gasp.
Hogan is in shock which gives Tobias time to shoot the 2 men by Hogan's side.
Tobias had grabbed a gun along the way just in case. Hogan then points his gun at Tobias.
He looks frizzled and extremely perplexed. Nothing seems to be going right for him.
Tobias rolls to the side and shoots Hogan in the head. His body crumbles to the
ground. It hits a thud when his head lands on the floor.
I kneel down next to Caleb's body. Silent tears roll down my face. He died saving
my life. He took a bullet for me. I start sobbing. Tobias and Christina put a hand on my
shoulder but do not hug me nor sit next to me. I sit there for a while. eventually
Christina and Tobias leave to let everyone out of the storage rooms.
A group of men come and pick Calebs dead body. They carry him to the funeral
home. I get up and walk to the apartment. When I get their, I lie down on the bed. I hear
Tobias come in quietly. My body is racked with sobs. He pulls me to him and starts to
slide his hand down my hair.
He doesn't say anything. If he says everything will be okay, he would be lying.
If he told me Caleb died a good death he would be lying. Caleb sacrificed himself
because he was guilty. That's what kills me the most.
We just lie there. I slowly drift to sleep as my tears slow down and my sobs
become quiet whimpers. I dream of my best memories with Caleb.
I know that's a sad ending,
I'm truly sorry,
maybe I'll make happier ones,
if someone reviews,
I'd like to thank those who reviewed,
I must stop this bad poetry,
Review,
and Goodinght.
