Deals With The Devil

I so kicked ass!
Kicked ass so hard that I managed to beat a dude twice as big as me and managed to sprint off.

Thank you Avery Scott for dragging my ass out of bed every morning to train.
However kicking ass also meant attracting a lot of attention.

So whilst I was hidden in any alleyway I could find, they were after me, running around like soldiers with a dog on the loose.

Fuck. I'm so done.
And I should've kept up with the cardio because damn I'm out of breath.

But whilst running away from the many men chasing me, by the way are we surprised? Look how hot I am?!
Kidding, not the right time to joke.

I managed to glance at the tragedy people were living by on this side. Not a smile in sight.
And I felt guilty.

The guilt I felt for seeing people live in this terror whilst I was pretending like my problems were the worst I ever faced.

When people faced death and destruction daily.
And I realise why my mother wanted to cure this world.

Nothing was more important than this world catastrophe.
Children were fighters. Parents were warriors.
And everyone was fucking terrified.

And now I was terrified.
Because I felt my back once again pushed against the wall but this time it wasn't to a face I wasnt familiarised with.

"What the fuck!"
Luke hissed at me his forearm pressed against my chest forcing me against the wall as he snaps the mask off my face staring at me wide eyed.

"Are you fucking crazy?!"
He keeps me pinned against the wall now and I don't even know how to respond to that.
Yes? I thought we already established that I was crazy.

"The whole of Lawrence's Men is looking for you! Fuck Avery is going to kill me." That's his first concern?! Avery is going to kill him.

He now backs away from me letting me free as I stare at him speechless not knowing whether to tell him I followed him here.
"Sorry?" I offer a half apology not really sure if I was sorry.

I'm here for a reason. Yet my reason is far gone.
"You followed me here didn't you?"

"Please don't be mad." I think we're past mad Blake.
"Mad? I'll be mad when your boyfriend decides to murder me for your stupidity."

He paces in the alleyway his head glues down to the ground figuring out what the hell to do.
"I just, look I needed to see what was on the other side."

"You also have a death wish." Luke groans and this is why I miss Graham. Because Bob would just scowl at me and then support my dumb ass decisions.

"Come on." He hands me back my mask and motions to the outer corners of the alleyway ready to head straight through the crowd.

"Are you kidding me? They're going to take me to this Lawrence weirdo if they find out-"

"Keep you head down, and follow me."

And I do exactly what he says. I follow him through the crowds pushing and shoving to make sure I didn't lose him.

Until he finally leads me to the quieter areas where I see people living out in complete filth.
I follow him now a lot calmer as I trail behind him and he walks into one of the tarnished broken flats.

It looked like it was uncared for.
Which I don't blame him for not caring because he managed to create a life inside the walls.

"Stay here, I gotta go radio your sister and boyfriend."
One of them is definitely going to murder me for this.
He walks out the main room whilst I walk around in circles trying to study this place.
