Hey guys! I' back!
I wouldn't be surprised if you people had forgotten about me, but I'm back! And this time I'm here to stay.
So, I'm finally back to post a new chapter of All Because of an EVO! I hope the new chapter makes up for my disappearance.
I was in a long dark hallway, lit by a few torches attached to the walls. I could hear the sound of people chanting faintly in the distance. I walked that way, hoping for an explanation for why I was there.
At the end of the hallway was a large room, lit with even more torches. Inside Six, Rex, Bobo, Dr. Holiday, my parents, and many other people were sitting. They were all looking at me, staring at me.
"What's going on?" I asked, feeling kind of nervous. The crowd parted to reveal Reece. She stared at me, pacing around me slowly. "Reece? What's going on?" I slowly made my way towards her, only for her to growl, baring her teeth.
You are the enemy. You are no friend of mine, she barked out, growing to the size of a 15 story building, with two heads sprouting from her neck.
"Reece, stop!" I held my hands out, but something was pulling me backwards. It turned my head around to see Six, tying me to the floor with a metal cable. He didn't say anything, just looked at me with a disapproving glance as he backed away into the crowd.
Reece approached me, her two heads speaking in unison. You are an enemy to my master. You must be destroyed.With a yowl, she struck out with her claws, ripping me apart. I tried to scream, but it wouldn't come. Reece turned around, a doggy smirk crawling across her face. Pity you're not stronger. This is too easy. She lifted her right head up, her teeth glaring. I whimpered, knowing this was the end.
Yet, something didn't feel right. It felt like I was moving around, and I heard a faint call. Someone was saying my name over and over again, gently.
My eyes shot open and I let out a scream, releasing all the pain I had felt in my dream. Rex, who was next to my bed, fell backwards as I shot up. I huddled into a little ball, holding my knees into my chest. I could feel myself sob.
"Court, are you okay?" Rex sat down on my bed. I didn't answer him. I don't think I was able to answer him.
Rex stopped trying to talk to me and just put his arms around me, awkwardly trying to hug me. I released my little ball and wrapped my arms around him, burying my face in his chest. It was practically instinctive.
Rex pulled me a little closer, burying his nose into my hair. I started crying into his chest as he rubbed my back gently. Reece jumped onto my other side, digging her head into my side.
"What's wrong, Courtney? You were crying out in your sleep," he asked me. Shaking, I told him the whole story.
I would never do that to you, Reece reassured me. You are my only master, and nothing that you could say or do that would make me change my mind.
I smiled at her, feeling a little bit better. I leaned against Rex. That was when I noticed that I was pretty much on Rex's lap. I started blushing, but being the boy that he is, Rex didn't notice at all.
We sat there for a while, me on his lap and him rubbing my back gently. It was comforting, in a way. I tried to cover up a yawn, but Rex noticed it anyway. It's strange that he can tell when I'm covering a yawn, yet not when my face is redder than a tomato farm.
"We should probably get to bed. We do have training in the morning," he said. I nodded, falling back onto the bed. Reece cuddled in with me, falling asleep almost instantly. I had expected Rex to go back to his bed and fall asleep too, but he seemed to do the opposite.
First Rex pulled a few blankets over my body. He then sat down on my bed, his back flush against my legs. I could feel the heat radiating from them.
"Rex, what are you doing?" I asked him. He shrugged.
"I'm making sure you don't have any more nightmares. It's easier to do if I'm not on the opposite side of the room," he said. I sighed and closed my eyes. It's not like I could just push him off. I may be getting stronger, but he's still a lot stronger then me.
"You're going to get tired sometime, you know. Then you'll have to go back over," I told him sleepily.
He shrugged yet again. "I'll deal with that when it comes to it. Now go to sleep," he insisted. I finally gave in, just letting myself relax.
Yet, I could still feel the warmth of his back against my legs. Instinctively, my body wriggled a little bit, getting closer to him. I didn't care what he thought at that moment. I just knew that I was cold, and he was warm.
I fell asleep like that. I had figured that Rex would have just gone over to his bed when I fell asleep, but that apparently wasn't the case.
I woke up that morning, all nice and warm. I snuggled into the source of the warmth, thinking it was Reece. But my eyes opened to something completely different.
I saw Rex, lying down next to me, with his arm around me. I was snuggled into the crook of his arm, my head lying on his chest. Reece was nowhere to be found. Okay, how did this happen!
Thankfully, Six doesn't come in to wake us up so we could avoid anybody seeing this.
It didn't look like Rex was awake. I thought about getting up, but part of me didn't want to. I felt… right, in a way. It sounds weird, but I fit perfectly in the crook of his arm.
Rex shifted a little, starting to wake up. His arm tightened around me, maybe instinctively. For whatever reasons, I closed my eyes and slowed my breathing, giving the appearance of being asleep.
I felt Rex's head lift, and heard him take a small intake of breath. I couldn't help but smile at it. I had expected Rex to get up and go back to his bed, but for the third time that night, he surprised me.
Instead of getting up and going to his bed, he pulled me a little closer to him, resting his cheek on the top of my head.
I was really liking it, but I knew it had to end sometime. "I wonder what happened to you going to sleep in your own bed," I said, scaring him badly. He jumped a little bit, his arm almost coming off of me.
"How long have you been awake?" he asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Not very long. So, this was your version of dealing with it?" I asked him teasingly. He stammered an apology and sat up, his arm slipping the rest of the way.
"I'm sorry, I guess I just fell asleep, I'm really sorry?" he asked me cautiously, as if I would blow any second. I gave him a stern look, but I had to laugh at the look on his face.
"It's okay. You were tired. Now we better hurry so we don't miss training," I pointed out. He nodded and got up, his face still bright red. I got up after him and grabbed my things, making it to the bathroom before Rex.
Training went like it always did, but I was kind of distracted. My mind wouldn't stop thinking about what went on that morning. For the thirtieth time that day, I thanked the Lord above that Six didn't come into the room to wake us up. That would have been too embarrassing to even try to explain.
Six took advantage of my distractedness and flipped me around. I eventually landed on the ground, with Six twisting my arm behind my back. I banged my head against the ground, trying to focus.
"You need to focus, Courtney. You're too distracted" Six said as he let me go. No duh. I rolled my shoulder a little bit to get the feeling back in my arm.
"Sorry, Six. I've just got a lot on my mind," I said. We were about to start up again when the alarm went off. Rex, Six, and I all ran down to the briefing room. I skidded to a stop, remembering I wasn't supposed to be in there in the first place, but Rex grabbed my arm and pulled me in anyways.
It was a large room with a table that had a world map in the middle. One entire wall was a giant monitor, and the others were filled with computers. I had to snap myself out of a daze, remembering I wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. I was about to sneak out when the door closed. I tried to open it, but no dice. Huffing, I leaned against the back wall, trying to be as small as possible while a man went up to the front and started talking.
"Many EVOs have been sighted recently in Texas, near the border. The EVOs are attacking systematically. Providence agents have been sent in, but once they enter, all communications are completely lost. So far, we've pulled out all agents we can. We are sending in Rex, Six, and Dr. Holiday to find the agents and get rid of the EVOs. Dismissed." I ran out of there as soon as the doors opened, but Rex caught up to me anyway.
"Hey, you in on this one?" he asked me. I nodded my consent as we pretty much ran the entire way to the loading dock. When we got there, Six and Holiday were nowhere to be found; probably getting weapons and such.
Suddenly, I remembered. "Oh man! I left my sword in the training room! I've got to get it!" I made a mad dash for the training room, leaving Rex standing there in the dock.
I ran into the training room and found my sword lying on the ground. I picked it up and ran, sheathing it on the way.
When I made it back to the dock, the ship was taking off. It was about three inches off the ground and the hatch had just started to close up. I ran and jumped, hoping I would make it. Still, I closed my eyes, incase the worst happened.
I could feel the wind rushing by me face, and heard the ramp closing. Suddenly, something pulled forwards. I opened my eyes to see myself in the ship just before the ramp closed. Rex had pulled me in at the last second.
There are many reasons why I love my beta. But number one is either the note she sent me after I sent her my new chapter, or the fact that she's still willing to be my beta after me leaving for over a year. I love you QueenyLeAcH!
