ALL BEHIND IT

Chapter Nineteen

Lucy –
I couldn't keep my questions in any longer, things were different now, I had the right people to trust, there was a bit of peace within me.

I couldn't keep hiding from the truth. I needed to know 110, I needed to find my sister and it had to be soon. I had a plan and I had only one option to succeed. It was a risk but it was worth trying.

I walked out of my room holding the key I stole earlier, the key to the master's office. It was midnight the perfect time to carry out my plan. I walked quietly towards his office and made sure no one was looking, I carefully inserted Key into the keyhole, turned it a couple of times and soon the door was open,. I removed the key and walked in closing the door gently behind me.

I pressed the switch and the lights came on immediately, I walked to his seat and found his computer on – this was just perfect. I sat in front of his computer scrolling through his files and hoping I would find something really soon. Fortunately, I found a file named '110'. I felt nervous but I was going to doit anyway. Without hesitation, I opened the file and read through and honestly I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I managed to read to the end and I was beyond shocked. The truth can be really heartbreaking. At this moment, I could understand why things were being hidden from me. I missed it all and I had always been with the wrong people. All along, my sister had been hidden from me in the fortress and was tagged 110, she had always been near and I couldn't figure that out. I wasn't in the right state of mind, I didn't know what to do or how to feel, my thoughts were killing me slowly and they were sinking my whole being in. I painfully wished I didn't come in the first place.

I heard some calm footsteps heading towards the office. I quickly closed the file and hid behind a couple of curtains. The door came open and the master walked in. I was almost loosing it, I really felt like coming out of my hiding place and hitting him across the face but it would only make things worse. He sat in front of his computer and was probably working on it. Suddenly he got up and was coming towards my hiding place, he was about to pull the curtains apart and I was getting prepared for what I was about to face. Fortunately, his cell phone rang and he walked away from the curtains. I felt a bit of relief. "I'll be there right away" he said, immediately walked out of the office and locked the door. I left my hiding place and took out the stolen keys from my pocket. I inserted it into the keyhole once again and briskly walked out of his office and then to my room.

Once I got to my room, I shut the door and leaned on it. I couldn't hold in the pain any longer and the tears which were forcing their way out was an evidence. This was really difficult to take in.

Levi –
I stood in front of Lucy's door and it felt awkward because of two things – knocking on her door and talking to her. We didn't talk anymore ever since she saw me kill Drew. I was still doubting if she really cared about him because they didn't seem to get along while he was alive. I honestly didn't feel sorry for killing him because he deserved it.

If things were a little less awkward between Lucy and I, it would bring me some relief. I took a deep breath and finally knocked on her door and after what seemed like forever, she finally opened the door, she gave me a stern look. She didn't look good at all.

"What do you want?" she folded her arms

"Have you been crying?"

"Should you care?"

"Lucy, I..."

"What do you want Levi?"

"We need to talk and you don't want to get out"

She stared at me for a little while and finally ushered me to come in. I sat on a nearby sofa while she stood in front of me with her arms folded.

"Aren't you gonna sit?" I asked
