Chapter 30

Sam's POV

"What do you want, Ross. It's late and I'm tired." I said as he opened the door.

"From what!"he said.

"Shut up."I said lazily

"Ok. So you really want to know."he said teasingly.

"Just tell me! Or else, I really will kill you!"I said.

"Fine. Caine told me earlier that he wants you to leave town, but I think he actually wants to kill you. But anyway, he wanted me to help so..."

"You said no, right. I don't really think I could handle two four bars in a fight." I said getting ready to run off.

"Well. ..said yes." He said sheepishly.

"You what!"I said backing away.

"Oh, I'm not going to kill you."

"Then why did you say yes!"

"Because he threatened me!" He shouted.

"So, I've nearly killed you, but you got over that." I shouted back.

"He said he'd kill Barbara."Ross said very quietly.

"Oh. I..um..I understand how that feels." I said thinking back to Drake and Astrid.

"Ya. Now leave me talk. We need to stop Caine. He seems kinda, what's the word I'm looking for."

"Crazy, psychotic,serial killer, mentally unstable?" I suggested.

"Ya. All of the above" he said.

"Ok so, we wait for him to come to us. Then we fight back." He said.

"Ok, there is no we in this. I'm staying out of you and Caine's business. I've already been through hell. Leave me out of this."

"But you have to help me or you have to help Caine."

"Or. I could go to you with Caine, then stay out of the fighting." He said seriously.

"Or you could bring Caine to me and help me fight him."

"Or I could Caine, that you now know and leave him kill me."

"Huh, fine. Just bring Caine to me. I'll handle it from there."

Ross's POV

It was midnight. I was sneaking through Barbara's house. Careful not to wake her up. Caine had just texted me. I took a second to actually wonder how smart jack really is! He set up phone services perfectly and there are now rumours going around that he is working on a internet server. Anyway, I left the house and walked about half a mile when I started to feel a chill. And the closer I actually got to Gavin's house the colder it got. Then I came to the ice barrier. There was two possible routes I could take. I could go around and not freeze to death, but would add a crap load of distance to my journey. So I decided to walk through.

Immediately, I regretted not bringing a jumper. It was freezing! I cupped my hands together and let fire form in my hand. It heated me up as I walked threw the "ice kingdom". That's what Gavin insists on calling it. I reach my house. I consider going in, but from what I gather just to get through the door is near impossible. I decide against it, promising myself that I would go back at some stage. So I keep walking, I finally reach Gavin's house, which tells me I have walked another half mile. I think about calling to him. Tell him that I didn't do it, but again I decide against it and promise myself that I will. Tomorrow. I continue my journey past the frozen houses of long gone neighbours. Eventually I get through, and emerge outside. Finally. I continue my walk to town.

"Hello Ross." Caine said, jumping out from behind the bushes to my right.

"Bloody hell! Don't do that!" I said dropping my hands and work on getting my heart rate back to normal.

"Come on. We have to take out Sam. Now!" He said dragging me off to town Hall.

We run about two miles until we finally get there. He wants to go straight in, but I make wait a second while I catch my breath. While I catch my breath, I look around. The church has completely fallen down. I remember all the times my grandad dragged me in there. I look at the mcdonalds, it seems mostly ok, but I can see the scorch marks from the fire that had happened right before I ended up in here. I look at the hardware store and the day care. Now abandoned. I remember when Mary had emerged from outside the dome. There were very little pictures of her, but I saw one and it..I can't even describe it. I look at the town hall. It was half burned. The mayors office had been spared though and that's were Sam is.

"Come on, enough of a break, let's go!" Caine said pulling me off the ground.

"Fine"I sighed as he dragged me towards town Hall. And that's when the green rays shot through the doors of town hall and skimmed off Caine's left leg.
