Dark World 4: Taken
Chapter 15:
INGRID'S POV
"So it could be either of these two places." Shawna sat down with a cup of coffee.
I nodded and printed out directions to each. Nugget ran around playfully on the floor. It was weird having to deal with a cat again. I'd almost forgotten how troubling he was with all the scratches and fur balls.
"Which one do we go to first?" Myka asked.
"The one closest, Then we get some weapons and call in a tip to the CIA." I said.
"I brought extra Tesla's and guns," Myka pulled out her bag.
Inside there were three Tesla guns and three handguns. .45 calibers if I remembered correctly from Luke's cousin during my stay in Iowa. Which I was pretty sure I was correct about. I'd had my share of guns over the past eleven years. I'd even shot them.
"Let's go," I got up.
"Already?" Shawna asked.
"Why waste time? Let's get this over with." I said. "I want to get back to living life."
ZANE'S POV
As we pulled up to Jack and I's house everyone but Steve and Ms. F got out. The Islanders followed us into our house. We'd offered for them to share the upstairs and couches for the time being. No one knew how long it would until their street was built. Kate had said Los Angeles was alright since that was where she was headed. But then Sawyer said Nashville and Claire said Australia and it got too confusing. So Island Boulevard was springing up in the next few months with several accommodations for them. Including a small park with a miniature island replica in the center. They thought it was nice. But the fact that Ms. F wanted to put up Dharma signs and Oceanic Airplane parts in the park was a bit extreme. David just thought it was funny. Speaking of David, I watched him as he unpacked into Jack and I's room. We pulled out a small bed for him in there since everywhere else was full. He took over several pictures that had aged over the years. I looked at them after he placed them up. One was of him and his parents at his parents work. Another was of his father Jack picking him up at his old school. I saw one of his father and grandfather. Another was a photo booth shot of his father and him. They made me sad deep down. All I wanted to do was to bring his father back, and his mother. It was unfair that they had to die.
"So are you going to ask him yet?" David asked suddenly.
I looked around and realized Jack had gone and I was staring straight at David's face. I coughed and smiled nervously.
"Jack?"
"Yes, are you going to ask him to marry you? Or should I pressure you into it? Hell, Claire and Kate will go ring shopping with you." He said.
"Okay, I may take them up on that offer." I said.
He smiled, "Kate! Claire!"
My face burned red as the girls walked into the master bedroom. They looked around and walked over to David. He whispered to them and they got excited. Their hands pulled me out of the house faster than I would have thought.
"Where is the nearest jewelry place?" Claire asked in her Aussie accent.
"Hey you," Claudia ran up to us.
"Claudia, hey can you help me?" I asked trying to free myself from the women.
"With what?" Claudia asked.
"He's going to ask Jack to marry him!" Kate smiled.
"I'm sorry, who are you? And really that's great!" Claudia said.
"I'm Kate Shepard and this is Claire Littleton, we saved Jack and the others." Kate said.
"From?" Claudia rolled her hands forward.
With the help of Kate and Claire I filled Claudia in on all the things that had took place. She got worried when I told her about Ingrid, Myka and Shawna going back to 2012.
"Everyone keeps dying or vanishing." Claudia said sadly. "Myka didn't even say goodbye to me…"
"I know, it was a hasty decision but I think it was worth it." I said.
"Okay…Well I'm coming with you ring shopping," Claudia said hailing a limo.
I groaned. This was going to be a long day. Ingrid, you better be doing some good in 2012 or I'm going to murder you.
INGRID'S POV
"I sent an anonymous email to the CIA, there was a glitch as I lost single but it should have sent." I told Myka and Shawna.
"I hope they get it," Shawna said.
"Turn left, yeah me too." I said.
Myka swerved past a target and we entered a shadier part of town. Well…wasn't most of Los Angeles shady? I think it probably was. I saw the Warehouse ahead of us. It's inner lights shining brightly. The in-and-out burger was packed full of people. Myka parked at in-and-out. I got out of the car and looked over at the Warehouse. It seemed right.
"Okay, Be cautious." Myka said.
"I've seen NCIS, I think I know how to break into a building," I said.
Myka gave me a strange look. It was weird how I was starting to think like my old self. I shook my head and the flashes of zombies poured back. It made me burn with anger. My internal flame was enraged with courage and anger. I think my brain composed itself full of disaster. I was dangerous in this moment.
"Go," I said.
We ran across the street with Tesla and guns ready. We got to the door and I kicked it open. Myka and Shawna ran inside with guns ready and Tesla's pointed. I ran inside to a pillar near the door. I hid behind it. People were talking near scientific things. I saw several crossbones in the bottles and they were adding them to each other. I breathed out slowly. I counted to three. Myka and Shawna nodded. Then we ran out into the open with guns pointed.
"Put the chemicals down." I said.
I saw the large Dharma signs above us. They started to run and I shot the Tesla. The scientist all fell to the ground in twitches. I ran past them and shut off all the knobs and nozzles. The chemicals turned a sullen gray and stopped working. We ran into the next room. More officials were walking about as we entered. They all pulled guns and a full out war came into effect. We ducked behind walls and tables. Scientist were running everywhere. I shot a few down and felt the murder I had committed. But it was all worth it in the end.
"Very good," A voice echoed everywhere.
Suddenly we were in an empty warehouse. A man in a suit walked to us. I pulled the trigger the same time Shawna and Myka did. However, the man just advanced to us. He leaked blood and bullet's in every corner. He just kept walking though.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Why Ingrid, I'm the Darkness of California. I'm the reason behind all the destruction." He said.
I remembered what Clay had said about his Aunt Grace. She was going to destroy the darkness of Oklahoma City. She had blown them both up with bomb ingredients. She killed herself for her family and friends. Now we were with another Darkness. A part of the Dark World that would soon be created.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"Because I want you to know pain and suffering. I want you all to." He said. "I'm a little confused on why you figured this out? You should be composing a song with your boyfriend Ingrid. And Shawna you should be making your mini series with Tessa and Myka don't you have filing to do?" He asked.
"When you get to Hell, tell Oklahoma City's Darkness we knew Grace Hanadarko." I said pointed the gun to ten bottles of flammable fluids.
When the bullet ripped out of my hand I saw a pair of wings surround us. We stood still as flames engulfed the warehouse. Through the pair of wings I saw the darkness get wide eyes and catch fire. He melted down into a dark puddle and evaporated. I knew the darkness would come back. In another shape or form. But for know. We had destroyed it.
As the flames subdued the wings stretched away from us. I looked up to see a man in a button up shirt and long gray hair. He wore a shirt from Athens and had a beaded necklace on. His angel wings, which felt amazing!, folded back up into nothingness.
"What have you three done?" He asked.
"Are you Grace's angel? Earl?" I asked.
"What did you do? You three changed everything." He yelled.
"Why? What's wrong?" Myka got confused.
"You three caused time to shift. This timeline is now none existent to the other one. Everything is messed up. There are now doubles of everything. The plague should have happened. Even though it was part of the Darkness's plan it was suppose to be a way of showing Humanity that even it can destroy itself. Not just natural disaster. It was going to save you, Luke, Annie, Myka all of you. Everyone involved In the old timeline and New America. It was going to give you new hope. Now you've doomed yourselves to a life of pure hell and agony. Things aren't going to be okay for you three. You've ruined everything. Time shouldn't be meddled with." He said.
"What do you mean we ruined everything? We fixed the plague and saved millions!" I yelled.
"You are going to cause over population and the destruction of the entire world." He said.
"How…" Shawna stepped back over a burning piece of wall.
"I have to get back to heaven and restore order. Things are turning into pain up there. The golden gates are rusting." Earl whisked himself away.
I looked at Myka and Shawna. I heard sirens wail in the distance. What had we just done? I thought we saved the world. Had we really caused it more destruction? What was going to happen next…
Epilogue of Dark World 4: Taken.
ZANE'S POV
After two hours of extensive ring shopping I found my ring. Claudia, Kate and Claire were so happy they paid for it with the little money they had. Eventually we drove back to my house and found Jack watching baseball with David. When we walked in Sawyer shut the TV off and Jack looked mad.
"What the hell man, I was watching that." Jack said.
"Look," Sawyer pointed to me.
I felt like zombie butterflies were in the midst of a war in my stomach. I felt so nervous. I walked over to Jack and smiled. He somewhat smiled back. I got down on one knee.
"Jack Carter, I've loved you for a long time now. I know it's been a short while since the accident with Ally but if you'll do me the honor…of being my husband. I would be pretty happy." I said.
"Zane…" Jack looked off.
I couldn't tell what his emotions were. Us Bi guys were hard to figure out when we were thinking. I just hoped it was about our wedding or some corny crap like that.
"I don't know…" He said.
"I understand," I said closing the ring box up.
"I mean I love you. Want to marry you? Hell yes. But I'm confused." He said.
"So what do I do?" I stood up.
"Well you put that ring on my finger and we get married," Jack said smiling. "It may be a short time since Ally's death but I know she'll want me to move on. Even her kids and my daughter say I have to marry you. I just thought I'd cause some nerves to break in you." Jack smiled.
"You Jacka*s," I glared.
"I love you too," Jack leaned in closer to kiss me.
"Oh my god, I just…what is this? I'm crying." Claudia said.
I laughed.
INGRID'S POV
We got back to my house after sneaking away from the police and other people. We did a full turn around and acted so surprised when we got back to the car. We said we went down the street for a walk and came back to go home. They let us go and we drove to my place. We'd fixed the timeline and had caused no zombies to come. But we all felt like something bigger was coming.
"What did he mean by the golden gates of heaven were rusting?" Myka asked.
"I think he's saying we've caused an over flow in population. We rewrote history and caused two time lines. All these people that should have died are now going to live and have children. It wasn't god's intention and we've ruined that. Now Heaven's having conflicting problems." I said.
"Doubles of the dead and alive," Shawna said.
"I just don't know what to do," I said.
"Nothing, we live our lives." Myka said.
"Stay in touch?" I asked.
"Duh! We lived together for eleven years? Do you really think I'm gonna forget about that? I'll fly over here once a month. We've got something special about the three of us. We know things no one knows. It's like we're controlling…oh god! I get it! By causing a new timeline…we've changed destinies. We've rewritten lives and cause turmoil. Ingrid, We've caused us to become like god in a way. I mean for just that moment we created a new world."
I understood everything now. We had defied god and had caused heaven to be linked to two worlds. It was like a full circle and we caused pure trouble. I knew it was going to be more complicated than it ever had been. But in the mean time we had to live normally. It was our obligation to those we left on the old Earth.
Hope you guys liked it! I think book 4 was a bit confusing but you know. The series continues with Dark World 5: In Alternate Times.
It focuses on those in the new timeline. New enemies are formed and everything you knew about the cast changes. New lines are drawn in how the world works.
