Bio hazard

Steel soldiers 1.1

One of the most heartbreaking things aside from losing a loved one is not knowing where to find them. Upon escaping from the capital we still didn't have any clue as to what to do next. It was like the universe was against the idea of us finding him, like it was a sign that we shouldn't be doing any of this. But I didn't want another death on my hands it was necessary for me to find him, I needed him.

I was beginning to wonder what life would be like without Demetrius around. He was the one who kept me alive in prison.

He wasn't responsible for everything...your body structure allowed you to handle all these physical obstacles....

Quiet down. You were the one who put those ridiculous ideas of loving him in my brain and now he's not responsible for my survival ? Demetrius taught me how to handle myself in that prison. He taught me to carry myself the way I do now. Demetrius is my backbone and there is nothing you can say to change that.

Will he be your backbone if he disappears ? Does that mean your personality will cease to exist when he's gone ?....

No.

I looked straight ahead grinding my teeth together. What was wrong with them ? They were telling me things that weren't true, they were confusing. I watched the horizon as the sun began to set behind it. The capital was far behind us as we all sprinted forward. It was important that we were nowhere near Mr Graves and the guards when he realized that we were gone. He'd probably send the Bio Bots after us making it more difficult to focus on finding Demetrius.

"This is hopeless," I breathed out.

Ricochet growled at me."No it's not you idiot ! We're looking for Demetrius, it's not hopeless."

I slid down the large grass hill in front of me and the metal on my leg rattled, I was surprised that it hadn't fallen off yet. With all the damage I'd taken lately I should have been dead. I stuck my foot out slowing myself down and I stood up shortly after.

'We have no idea where he is Ricochet !" I shouted while holding my hands out. "I know I'm somewhat irrational sometimes but you've got to get a grip."

Her eyes bubbled red and I swallowed hard, just like Demetrius. "Unlike you kid my brother is the only person I have left so I'm going to look for him with or without any of you." She brushed past me angrily and began walking farther into the field.

Justin sighed and chased after her. We all had to stick together splitting up wasn't an option we had. If she was looking for Demetrius then I'd be right there with her despite how much she annoyed me. I whipped around and walked briskly to catch up with the others. It'd be a miracle if we didn't kill each other before finding him. I prayed that this wasn't all for nothing.

"He can't be that far from the capital. Carmen would need to stay close to Mr Graves right ?" Justin asked.

I shrugged. Carmen didn't have a reason to stick around now that she had Demetrius. She could be on the other side of the world for all we knew. "Maybe, maybe not."

Benson crossed his arms. "Can you use your ability to see where he is ?"

I raised an eyebrow toward him. He was actually suggesting things, helping us. Was he finally accepting Demetrius or did he just want all of this to be over ? It was a good idea, if we could pull it off then we could get to Demetrius quickly.

"I'm not sure if it works that way," He said. Justin looked at the ground, he looked ashamed of himself. Maybe he was feeling bad that he couldn't save his friend also."I can try though."

I was crossing my fingers for this to work. We all stopped dead in our tracks and gave Justin his space. He closed his eyes and the world grew silent for a few minutes. The wind blew softly barely even making a sound. I watched his face scrunch up and my stomach twisted in knots, then he opened his mouth to speak and everyone held their breath. 'Nothing, nothing at all." He opened his eyes and he grimaced. "I guess my ability only comes in handy when it wants to, it isn't that useful."
