Chapter 128
We all sat in silence, the cave felt cold and empty. John was gone, he was really gone and we couldn't even save him. I was so tired of losing... I had lost so much. The people that I cared for kept dying and I was afraid that I would be left here in this world all by myself. Marcia sniffles, she was in tears. She once had a thing with John, I felt so bad. Trevor hugged her Close. I felt it... the end of everything good that I had left. The end of the new world.
"what now?" Trevor asked almost silently, he wasn't taking the loss of his brother very well. His eyes were bloodshot red and his face was almost tomato red.
I looked on the ground "we wait here until everything is settled"
"for how long!" Marcia said in shock as if she couldn't stand being down here already. As if we had any other choice but to be down here.
Persius stood up "for as long as it takes for those monsters to end each other up there"
"and how will we know that everything is settled?" Trevor asked patiently. He was like a ticking bomb ready to explode at any given time.
I watched them all "I will tell you when everything is settled once I return"
"what the fuck do you mean once you return, you are not going out there Lucy" Trevor said standing up "I will not lose you too!"
I sighed, this was all just too much for me to handle. I couldn't just let Alexander die out there, it didn't feel right. It felt... it just felt painful and I don't know if I could live with myself knowing I caused his death. Nobody in here would understand this feeling that kept nagging me, shouting at me to run out there and keep him safe. I didn't understand this feeling either but I had to go to him.
"You will never lose me, not now, not any time soon so please just trust me to keep all of you alive. You know there is someone up there who will protect me. He is a monster but we will use the fact that he is connected to me to our advantage," I explained as I looked at all of them one by one “None of you have the same advantage as I do, we cannot risk anybody else. I want to do this and I want you to have faith in me." I told them honestly.
Marcia walked towards me and she held my hands "Please come back to us, the twins cannot lose you."
"I will not let them have another loss Marcia, I will not let you have another loss" I promised her and she hugged me tight before letting me go.
Mara wiped her tears before giving me a big hug "come back alive! Don't you dare not come back to us"
I smiled at her and kissed her cheeks "I wouldn't dare!"
I looked at Trevor, he wasn't having it but I knew he needed my hug so I hugged him "I will be safe, I promise" I said before letting him go however I did not expect him to hug me back with a kiss on the lips. I didn't know what to say or do. I didn't even know what to make of it. He let me go and I just smiled, I am sure everyone was as surprised as I was.
I hugged the twins and said my good byes to everyone. However I made sure to promise them one more time that it was just a short goodbye because I would be back before they even knew it. My heart pounded so hard against my chest as I made my way back up.
There was death everywhere, dead bodies lined up everywhere I looked. Limbs and bones shredded on every path that I took but I wasn't shocked or terrified of that because it was something my eyes were used to. I made sure not to make a sound as I moved. I breathed out in relief once I reached the door that would lead me outside.
I felt as though I was somewhere else entirely as I stepped outside. Everyone was too occupied to even notice me including the two guards that were guarding us previously before we escaped. It was beast against beast, a battle of monsters. They ripped each other apart, the scene itself was so grotesque it made bile rise up to my throat. I looked away as I searched for 'him'.
It was like magic, I could feel his presence somehow. I could feel that he was close and it made my heart feel warm and safe. The mark on my neck throbbed as if it could sense his presence as well. I knew I was getting closer and closer but hiding myself was becoming impossible. At this point it was like I was on a battle field, exposed and ready to be devoured by these animals.
I had to be strong I thought to myself as I dodged two wolves fighting a banshee. I screamed and fell on my back as a banshee appeared from nowhere charging towards me at full speed. I winced and took out my knife ready for the attack but a large dark brown wolf immediately appeared above me-as if it could fly and it jumped on the banshee tearing its head off before landing on the ground. It then faced me and growled lightly as if it was annoyed. Only one wolf seemed to be annoyed with me all the time, the beta. I sighed as I stood up feeling a lot safer, his large eyes scanned the area before he moved towards me and nudged my legs with his large head. I knew what he wanted, he wanted me to follow him.
I shook my head, "I need to find him, it's important"
He moved in front of me and suddenly his big form laid on the ground with a huff. He wanted me to get on top of him, I trusted that he would take me to his Alpha King so I got on and I held on tight as he moved like the wind.
