Chapter 8

I was silent and I listened. I didn't say a word. Maybe it would have been better to die right then. I should've said something so he would shot. But what would happen to Kennan.

Kennan.

I lost all feeling in my legs when i thought of him and they gave out. I fell to my knees, I felt so defenseless. The man that had the gun to my face brought it down and handcuffed me. I didn't struggle. I didn't want to.

Since I wasn't facing towards Kennan I couldn't see him and I was worried. I knew he could take care of himself but he can be very violent when killing something or someone.

I stared straight ahead at the mans legs, thinking that maybe I could crawl foreword and bite him, since that was my only form of defense right know, but then I would have to worry about Jessica.

"Jessica," the man said. I looked up at him, so tall like a giant from my position on the ground. "Do it." I didn't know what that meant, but I did I really want to? Then I heard Kennan fall to the ground. I didn't look back, I didn't believe Kennan could be dead. I didn't hear a gun shot, but the Cloud has lots of new technology, that maybe they could have a silent gun shot. Or maybe she had a knife. Or maybe, hopefully, he wasn't dead at all.

"Kennan, don't talk. Just listen." Jessica said. "The Cloud does not want you. They want your friend." So now she couldn't even address me by my name. "You are free to go. I advise you run far from here, maybe even use the Seam." She said with a monotone voice, but with a lot of confidence. "I would also hope that you forget all about your romance with the girl and find someone else. All she has ever been to you was trouble."

"With great treasure, comes great trouble." Kennan said. I wanted to cry. One because I knew our plan was gone. Two I trusted someone I knew I shouldn't have. And three Kennan just called me a treasure.

"You talk one more time and I will have to kill you, myself." This is a side of Jessica I have never seen, and never wanted to see. A side I didn't even know existed. "Go." She said.

"Please let me say bye."

"You have 30 seconds." Jessica said and I heard Kennan get up and the boy walked over to her.

Kennan came up to me and whispered, "Im not going to go."

"Kennan you have to go."

"I have to stay."

"You know that cheesy saying that if you love something let it go? This is me letting you go." He looked down. He didn't want me to see him break down. "Kennan, look at me." He did. "If it comes back its yours, if it doesn't it never was." I kissed his cheek.

"I'll come back."

"Ken I love you. I love you enough to know that you are better off without me. You weren't ever mine, you were yours." We stared at each other, then Kennan told me to close my eyes. I knew he was going to go but he didn't want me to see him leave. But I did "Now count to 10." I started counting. "No peeking."
