(Sis' POV)
Where is he?! Where is that traitor!? He is NOT going to get away with this! He is going to pay for betraying us! I stop running so I can think. I should know Slick pretty well by now, so I should figure what his next move is. Then again, I thought that bastard was a loyal man and look what happened! The moment I find that bastard, I am going to rip his throat open!
Then the anger in my blood soon turned into this tugging at my heart. I began to think about when I tried to do that to myself. Ripping my throat open. I began to remember what, or rather who, stopped me from doing so: Slick. If he was just going to hurt me in the end, why would he save my life? Why would he have been so nice to me? As I keep asking myself this, I suddenly felt...nothing. Not angry, shocked, or even calm. I don't even know how to feel anymore. I have to talk to him. I'll let him explain himself, then I should know how to feel about what he has done. The exits must be blocked by now, from what I learned about him from spending time with him, he would open them himself, so my best guess would be the Command Center. I began to run, but couldn't think straight, Slick's stuck in my head!
Then I bumped into someone and we both fell. I was going to apologize until I saw who it was. Slick. I only stare at him and he stares at me. I was torn between strangling him and embracing him. "How could you?" I manage to say, but my throat was so dry it came out like a whisper.
He sighs as he gets off the floor, I was still on the ground. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I'm doing this for all of-"
"You're doing this for yourself!" I shout, angry and hurt. "You betrayed us all! You endangered our brothers' lives! You lied to me!"
I could sense he was getting angry too. "I would've thought you, out of all of us, would believe in what I'm doing." My blood began to grow cold. "Have you already forgotten about what you went through? Have you already forgotten that you were beaten, starved, being treated like a slave?" He grabs my arm, in a rather tight grip and pulls me off the ground. "Have you already forgotten being called 'Imperfection'?"
I began to feel frozen. "Let me go-"
"Give me an answer!" He shouts into my ear, tightening his grip on my arm.
"No..I never forgot." I said weakly. I felt weak, knowing what he was right. I fought back tears in my eyes.
"Then you should understand that I'm trying to free us." He says, letting me go, wiping my eyes gently. Then he spoke calmly "I love you, you're my sister and I love our brothers. I wish I didn't have to do this, but this is the only way. I know I shouldn't ask you to do this, but please cover for me, so I can get out-" Then we heard explosions. The weak feeling immediately washed off me. I suddenly felt anger rise in me again.
"You did that. You caused those explosions." He doesn't say anything, he doesn't need to. I know he did. I slap his hand away from me. "Is it worth it?! Is being 'free' worth endangering lives and betraying those who loved and trusted you?! You may have 'good' intentions, but what you're doing is wrong and you know it! If you loved any of us, you wouldn't do this! You claim to love us all, but deep down, the only one you really love is yourself!" Then I threw a punch at him, he grabs my wrist before it could get to his face. Then he punches me hard in my stomach and runs away. I laid on the ground, in pain, I coughed, it might just be me being dramatic, but I'm sure I coughed out a bit if blood.
"Sis!" I heard voices call to me. They both lifted me off the ground and onto my feet, but my stomach was so sore I had to lean against the wall. I saw Kix, Rex, and Cody. I was going to fall, but then Kix caught me. "What happened?" Kix asks.
"Slick-" I cough again. "He went that way." I say pointing to the direction. Rex and Cody run that way, leaving me alone with Kix. I looked up at him, my vision growing blurry from my tears. I embraced him, crying into his chest. He holds me gently, not saying a word. When I look up at him again, I heard a gun being fired, and I heard shouting. I push Kix away and I run toward the noise, I ignored the pain in my stomach. When I arrived to the source of the sound. Rex and Slick and fighting and Cody on the floor. I run toward his side.
"Are you alright?" I didn't wait for an answer before I heard a shout in pain I assumed it was Rex.
"Yes, she offered me money." I look over and see Slick standing over Rex. "But she offered me something more important. Something you wouldn't understand! Freedom!" I was sick of hearing his 'freedom' bullshit. I became angry again, angrier that I have ever felt. I ran toward slick, and I threw a punch toward his face. I was even luckier that he turned his head right into my fist, then he fell to the ground. He didn't get up. Cody ran toward Slick and I ran to Rex.
"Are you okay?" I ask Rex.
"Just my leg is sore." He says.
"Can you move?" I ask. He nods and I gently put his arm over my shoulders and help him back on his feet.
"That was a hell of a punch, kid." Cody says. "He's out cold."
"Good." I say. Part of me wishes the traitor was dead, not that I'll ever say it out loud. "I'll go get Kix. You both have bruises on your faces. It may be nothing, but he should check, just in case." They both nod and I walk away, but to be honest, I'm using this as an excuse to be away from that treacherous bastard. Then I felt an arm on my shoulder. I turn and see Rex.
"You okay, kid?" He asks. I gently take his hand off my shoulder.
"I'll be okay." I lie, sounding...hollow, emotionless. As I walk away, I keeping thinking about what just happened. The person who helped me feel happy when I was suicidal had just hurt me worse than the one who created. The person I cared deeply for had just shattered my heart to pieces. Will I be okay?
