Sinistral

Chapter Twenty Four

 I was happy, when Zack had forgiven me. It was all in the past, or I had hoped that. It pretty much was, still now but as I said I had my doubts about Amelia, when Lucas showed me something from the past, something to do with Amelia. I started to doubt her even more. I put her on the spot; I made her reveal her darkest secret. Maybe it was wrong of me. Lucas did it on purpose, like a lot of things he did but that won’t make much sense right now.

It will soon enough though. So, there I was making Amelia tell me the truth, tell us the truth. Even if I already knew, well what Lucas had showed me anyway. What I found out was shocking, I had no idea until I saw it. But it didn’t really explain why she had tried to make Zack not my friend, that’s why I still have doubts now. That one day she’ll take him back, and this time for good.

After everything was put out in the open, her darkest secret and my so called mission to destroy the core, there was only one thing left to do. Escape the tunnel…

 We had been walking for what felt like miles. I can’t explain how much I wish I could just stop walking. I had done so much of it since being here; I really do miss my foster parent’s car, or even a local bus. Anything as long as it didn’t involve walking. I pretty much knew there wasn't much left of my trainers. So I could feel the ground as I walked, its felt like this for a long time but the difference being in the tunnel it feels like I’m walking on ice. I may as well have been walking bare foot which I have thought quite a few times but I knew it protected my feet still, just about.  My limbs ached, my head was spinning, but I kept going. What kept me going was the fact that I had Zack back and the voice in my head, it spurred me on, urging me to not give up and to keep going no matter what. It was having a part of me back, the part that convinced me no matter what we could do this. Fight on; keep going because in the end it would all be worth it. With Zack by my side I couldn't agree more, together we would be unstoppable. Along the way something made Amelia question Zack and I, about how we ended up in the tunnel, and what we were going to if we ever escaped, she couldn’t quite believe what we were telling her.

 "Wait, so let me get this straight, you guys plan to go to the core of Sinistral, to destroy it? She said raising her eyebrows. Zack and I exchanged a quick glance, a small hint of a smile appearing on both our faces, "I know what it sounds like," Zack said as if he couldn't quite believe it himself "But that's what we've got to do, we've got to put an end to what Lucas is doing.”

 “You do realise you both sound pretty stupid. You know what he can do right? What he has done, what he continues to do? You’re risking so much,” she whispered. “It will be worth it in the end,” I say. “You believe you two alone can defeat him? If this core is so important can destroy Sinistral and Lucas, it will be well protected merely impossible to break into, or reach,” she added. “We know the risks, we know it’s dangerous. We know, we are pretty much insane but to stop all this, to stop him once and for all. Don’t you want to see that day?” Zack asked. “More then anything,” she smiled at the thought. “Then, we get out of here. We find our way to the core and then I’ll make Lucas suffer, so much. I’ll give him his own nightmares, I’ll make him see my face and be haunted by it. I’ll teach him for ever messing with me. He’ll regret ever turning Sinistral into this. He’ll regret ever thinking I’ll be on his side!” I shouted quite loudly. Zack and Amelia looked at me. “I’ve been with Cayden since the beginning. We have to keep going now not matter what. The tunnel is his worst punishment right? And well, we’ve survived. So could there be anything worse?” Zack asked. Amelia looked at Zack and smiled. “Maybe your right, what made you two stand up to make this decision?” she asked. “Someone who is looking out for, Cayden,” smiled Zack. I smiled back; it’s the first time he has ever made Actros sound like a good guy. I thought he was still angry at him, I guess not.
