Sing Your Way Out
Chapter 3: Awnsers
Ian POV:
"Why are they here?" I asked Cj. I was really confused in why Jay and Tiki were here, even those weren't their names. I also wanted to know what was the thing that was going to happen. I also did not understand why they had to hide who they were, or why they are traitors, and what they were forced to do.
"Why should we trust you?" Jay Hisses at me, anger glinting in his eye.
"Cj, what's going on?" I ask her desperately
"I…I can't tell you." She says, dropping her gaze.
"Leave!"Tiki hisses viciously at me.
"Tell me, right now!" I say, anger starting to boil in my stomach.
"No." Hisses Jay, and with that, he grabs Tikis arm, and with a cruel smile, they quickly fade from view. I look around in confusion. Then I see the entrance to the tunnels, just in time to see Cj disappear into it.
Cj POV:
I hit the hard concrete of the tunnels, and immediately sprinted forward. I knew the rout to my room by heart. I raced along in silence. In the distance, I heard a small clop, as Ian landed on the hard surface. I ran faster. I heard him coming. I ran faster. My room was just around the corner. I pulled myself up into my room, shut the entrance to the tunnels, and walked out into the hall. I walked to Tikis room, our safe room. No one really knew where Tiki was, this sometimes was useful. As I entered, I noticed that Tiki and Jay were already there.
"Close call." I gasped.
"Too close." Jay said.
"Tomorrow, after our last class, head for the observatory, wear your cloaks." Tiki whispered calmly.
"It's a plan." Jay said. I quietly walked out of the room. I decided to roam the hallways for a while. I walked and walked, lost in my thoughts, when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around.
Ian.
"Cj, Observatory. Now." He hissed under his breath. We entered the tunnels, and walked in silence. There was no escape from this. The was behind me the whole way, and with his perplex, he could tell my every move.
We reached the observatory.
"Now tell me, why did you run?" Ian asked.
"Reasons." I said.
"Tell me!" He said.
"You wouldn't understand." I whispered.
"Yes I would. Please tell me." Ian said, genuine emotion in his eyes
"What do you need to know." I whispered, giving in.
"Why are you so close to Tiki and Jay? What are they to you?" Ian asked.
"They…they…they are my siblings." I whispered. There was long pause.
"Why wouldn't tell me, why Cj?" Ian said, his eyes clouded with emotions.
"Horrible things would happen if I did." I whispered, knowing too well what would happen if I reveled it publicly.
"What did you mean by 'it will happen in two to three months.'?" Ian asked.
"A great battle, one for the ages. The one that will free everyone." I whispered.
"This could be huge for the escape!" Ian exclaimed.
"You can't tell anyone else!" I quickly hissed. He silently searched my eyes.
"What did you mean you would become traitors?" He asked quietly.
"We… we gave information to the rebellion about all of our friends plans, dreams, and tries to escape. We gave names. We would become traitors if people knew who we gave the information to." I whispered.
"Who Cj. I have to know." Ian said quietly.
"He…Headmaster." I whispered.
"What! Why would you give him the information! If you haven't noticed, he is the enemy!" Ian snarled.
"I told you wouldn't understand." I hissed quietly, and sat down.
"I'm sorry, can you please tell me why though?" Ian said quietly.
"I can't." I whispered.
"Please?" He whispered, sitting down next to me. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I answered the question, and it broke my heart to tell.
"Headmaster is my father." I whispered.
