Chipless

Chapter 25- Burn Baby Burn (The final chapter!)

Screams of terror fill the air and frantic people dash towards the tree line. "Anthony!" I turn around and see Gavin sprinting to me.

"What's going on? Why is the building on fire?" I ask.

Gavin attempts to catch his breath before answering. "It... It was... Quinn... And the... Government... Soldiers..."

I groan and roll my eyes, "God dammit!"

"I know right?" He says, finally catching his breath.

I think for a moment but I know I have to get my thoughts collected fast. "Find the others," I order, "it's time I deal with Quinn myself."

I start to walk away but he grabs my wrist, "But she'll kill you!"

"Well that's a risk I'm willing to take." I tell him. Before he can argue with me, I pull my arm out of his grip.

I speed walk around until I find Ember and Phoenix. "What the hell is happening?" Phoenix asks, placing her hands on her hips.

"That's for me to know and you to forgot." I respond.

"I'm not excepting that answer!" Ember exclaims, "You've been secretive with us for way to long and I can't take it any longer, spit it the f*ck out!"

"Ember, as much as I want to tell you, I can't, now go find Trent and Gabriel, light the fire under your ass, and move towards the forest!" I demand. Neither of them budge, it's like they're frozen in place.

Then Lily comes along and tells them almost exactly what I told them except nicer, and they begrudgingly start running. "Dude let's go." Lily insists, motioning for me to follow her.

I shake my head, "I can't, it's time I face my problems instead of running away like a little bitch."

She then gives me a quick hug and whispers in my ear, "Be safe." Then she bolts for the tree line with the hundreds of other horrified party goers.

As I struggle to find Quinn, I never see Tessa, Trent, Gabriel, Jared, or Ze once. I do catch a glimpse at Ana though. She seems to be taking on two of Quinn's soldiers by herself, pretty impressive.

My eyes dart around and I see no sign of Quinn what so ever. Only her warriors. They don't seem to be bothering until ones and picks me up by my shirt collar and another points a gun at my head. "Well what do we got here?" One sneers.

"You've been lucky to live this long." The other laughs.

"Put me down!" I order, fighting to get away.

"Awwww, poor thing thinks we'll let him go." The first one chuckles. Holy shit his breath reeks.

"Eh!" The two men and I look at another soldier, "Quinn said she wants us to save the Baxter kid for herself!"

The man holding me up suddenly drops me and I fall flat on my rear. The one holding the gun kicks me hard in the side before running off. I grip my side before scrambling up and continuing onward.

Something about that guy that pretty much saved me seems familiar. Long, dark, wet looking hair, muscular, a smug look on his face... Holy crap that guy was Marcus. A guy that literally beat the shit out of me a few weeks ago just saved my ass. For now I guess but still, he kept me alive for a little while longer.

I'm about to just give up and run for away with the others until I feel someone grab me. Well, multiple people. A masked woman walks in front of me and when our faces are only inches apart, she yanks the mask off of her face and smirks. There she is.

Quinn Alexander.

"Why hello Anthony," She greets, "I've heard you've been looking for me, how..." She pauses for a moment to think of a word then her smirk grows, "sweet."

"Don't flatter yourself." I spit out.

"What are we gonna do with him m'am?" One of the soldier holding me up asks.

"As long as we don't have to do what we did to the Andrews guy again," The other guy snorts, "that shit looked painful."

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!" I scream at the top of my lungs. The three of them start laughing at me as I fight to get away. "I swear to god if you hurt Ze in anyway at all I will-"

"No, you won't." Quinn interrupts. She starts to walk towards one of the burning buildings and says, "Follow me boys."

The soldiers carry me to behind the structure the abruptly stop and drop me. I scramble to my knees and just stop there. I don't fight. I don't scream for help. I don't pled for mercy. I just sit there, and except my fate.

This is my fate, and I can't run from the inevitable.

"Anthony Jet Baxter," Quinn starts, taking a gun from one of her soldier, "any last words?"

I know that she couldn't care less about what I have to say. So I push the hundreds of thousands of thing I could say away, and shake my head. I tear escapes from my eye and hits the dirt, making one spot look darker. I wait for the bullet to pierce into my skull but it never happens. I just hear the snapping of two necks and the the soldiers fall to the ground.

I look up and into Ana's deep blue eyes. Quinn grabs onto her and Ana shrieks. "Run!" Ana commands.

I jump to my feet and sprint towards the tree line. Only looking back once to see two more guards holding onto Ana and her fighting to escape their grasp. I turn back around, thinking I just might get away scratch free, but then the bullet hits me.

Not in the head thank god, in the shoulder. But it still hurts like hell. I grip my bleeding shoulder which the bullet went straight through and trip, hitting the dirt hard.

I hear the crackling flames and someone shouting my name. My already blurry vision starts to cloud with dark spots, then blacks out completely.

Then I'm out cold.
