Chapter Eleven

Jordanne's POV

"A mother Wither?" I peered out from behind the back room doorway.

"Yeah!" Lilly replied. "It's a source for Withers."

"Even if there is a source, how will we know that it's the one?" I asked.

She shrugged. "Guess we'll find out when we take it out, won't we?"

"Wait," a thought hit me. "Mother Wither. If we kill her they will die off?"

"That's what we hope," Bayani said.

"Does that mean Ricardo will die?"

"Oh, um, we didn't really think of that." Lilly said. "Bayani?"

"Oh, um. Say, why are you up?" He changed the subject quickly. "We need rest so we can patrol tonight."

I shrugged. "I couldn't really get to sleep." I raised an eyebrow. "Why aren't you asleep Mr. Bayani?"

"Busy making plans I guess," he replied. "How's Dylan?"

"Oh, he's doing what he does best, sleeping. What you should be doing actually."

"Here, how about you go back and I'll do the same in a few minutes?" he suggested. I just nodded and went back.

I had been trying to sleep, but there was no way I could. I was freaking out, stressing even. I couldn't stop thinking about the fact of taking down the mother wither, and possibly killing Ricardo. I can't do that- he's become my pet, my sidekick, my wingman.

That's when I heard that Dylan was leaving. "I gotta do this, her heart will break if I don't." He said.

Now I'm curious.

Unfortunately, the door slammed as he left before I could ask him about it.

"Yo fuckhead," I shouted out to Bayani. "Where's Dylan going."

He shrugged. "Something about Withers."

"You let him out go out there? Alone?!" I basically yelled.

"Chill," he said calmly. "It's almost time for our guarding shift. He was probably getting restless and couldn't wait."

I nodded even though I still had more questions about where Dylan went and what the hell he was talking about as he left. But I had to get the answer from Dylan himself.

"You know, I'm gonna go out there with him so he isn't all alone. He's been hurt already, would rather not let that happen again." I smiled and Bayani gave me some weird eyes.

"Okay...I guess I'll see you out there soon." Bayani shrugged and went back to some random conversation.

As soon as I walked out of the base with a bow and knife in hand, I started to run. I ran to try to find Dylan, but I couldn't call his name or it could possibly attract withers.

"Dylannnn..." I whispered.

"What!" I'm guessing Dylan yelled. He said it loudly, so I kind of covered my head in fear of withers.

"There you are." I said to him and stood up after taking cover. "I've been looking for you."

"How come?" Dylan said, quietly.

"Why did you leave so early?" I asked, staring him down.

Dylan shrugged. "Lilly asked me to do something for her."

I laughed. "That's a lie."

"Huh?"

"She would've asked me or the fuckboy. I don't think she's comfortable with telling you to do stuff." I smiled. "So what's the real reason you're out here?"

"Fine-"

"There you guys are!" I heard Bayani's voice echo from behind me.

"Perfect timing Bayani. Was wondering when you'd get out here." Dylan said.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Okay Dylan, keep talking." I persuaded.

He opened his mouth, then closed it, and opened it again. "I forget."

"That's okay." Bayani said. "I've got a plan, Jordanne, you and me are gonna walk around the shops, Dylan you good with staying at the perimeter of the woods?" He asked.

"Sounds like a good plan." Dylan said.

"Sure." I agreed.

-----

"This is stupid." I groaned.

"What is?" Bayani asked.

Ricardo picked up his pace to keep in time with me. "This, all of this. We should be doing stuff instead of just trying to stay alive...the robots are legitimately taking over, someone's got to stop them before they spread all over the world." I said. "Walking around the same few corners isn't going to help."

"All the ideas we came up with don't seem like they're going to work." Bayani said.

"What about the one you guys came up with the other day?" I asked, then, when I looked at Ricardo, I remembered why we threw that out. "Right."

"We're working on it." Bayani said. "The guys back at the shop are either sleeping or working on a plan, don't worry. We'll take these withers down and keep your little dude by your side."

Then, all of the sudden, Ricardo fell to the ground.

"Ricardo!" I squealed and ran over to him. He was shaking, and was really cold. His eyes were squeezed shut and I was getting worried.

"What's going on?!" Bayani asked.

A bright light sparked out of him. I had to shield my eyes and look away or it could have actually hurt me, that's how bright it was. When the light went away, Bayani and I looked back at Ricardo, and I smiled when he flew back up in the air and spun around.

"They grow up so quickly." I pretended to wipe a tear.

"That was really dramatic for his third head." Bayani laughed.

"I knew this was gonna happen soon. He was beginning to get bigger and Chubby and Swirly already have their third head, I should have expected this. He's so cute!" I talked fast.

"Okay, you have got to calm down." Bayani rolled his eyes.

I rolled my eyes back at him and gave my little buddy a hug. Once I let Ricardo go, I looked at Bayani.

"Oh, tell me what the hell Dylan isn't doing at his guard point." I smiled, I knew something like this would happen.

Authors note

Sorry for such a long wait!

Lilly here.

I swear to you, Jordanne has had the worst thing of writers block in a while.

(So bad that it took her four weeks to write three hundred words.)

I'm not even kidding. So I offered to write this chapter. So I guess let's just say this now:

The book is ending soon. Like, chapter fifteen and an epilogue. (For the record- the only chapter left that Jordanne will write is chapter thirteen next week. She doesn't like to write the ending chapters :p)

So you get a ton of lilly chapters!!! Yay!!! No? Okay!!!

Also, it's March 22nd. The day the MCRmy cries it's heart out. *cries* WE MISS YOU MCR

okay, that's enough.

Thank you all for reading! I hope you enjoyed and if you did, please leave a vote!

Keep smiling guys, and happy reading!
