Gravity Failing

Chapter 18

•-BODE's POV-•
I stopped Andromeda with all the corners. I mean come on. The place was huge and we weren't progressing her way. After I spun around getting tired and a little dizzy, I bumped into a man. He was carrying something weird looking. Maybe high tech or something. Anyways, when I looked up I was flabbergasted. It was Pleadies. The man who ran against Cygnus for ruler of the whole world. And a traitor of our rebellious group. He must have a reason for this. Everyone really has a motive. Now what's his?

"You ugly piece of crap." I yelled at him. He took my Andromeda away. The love of my life. I guess I'm over exaggerating but still. The only person who I have sentimental feelings for. 

"Last time I checked you were the peice of crap." Pleadies responded in a hurtful way. I looked back at Andromeda for help. Andromeda stepped up to the plate and I let her.

"Look, that's our business!" Andromeda was getting mad now.

"And this is my business!" Pleadies yelled back while snatching something out of Andromeda's hand that he dropped.

"STOP NO!" She yanked back and he threw a punch. She dodged and kicked him in the shin. Hard. I ran and tackled him. He fell to the ground. He punched me in my gut and I fell over. He got up over to Andromeda. She got up and knocked him out cold with the piece of equipment. I felt myself slip into unconsciousness. The last thing I remember saying was that's my girl.

•-ANDROMEDA's POV-•

After knocking Pleadies out cold with whatever that equipment was, I quickly turned to Bode. He was in serious pain and would not wake up. I dragged him over to a corner, sitting him upright. 

Slapping his face, I yelled, "BODE! Wake up!" But nothing was working. Thinking over to how we got here I suddenly became nauseous but my mind swiped it away. I looked over at Pleadies and knew he wasn't waking up soon. 

I left Bode sitting until I got up and decided to figure out how we got here. Ignoring the dizziness from the attack, I searched Pleadies. He had to have something useful. He WAS working for the government. But why? What was his motive? It was quite confusing as I memorized each turn I took. 

Finally getting a lead, I came up to a door. Over it, EXIT. This must be it. But why would they put it so easily right in front of us? Ignoring that exaggerated question, I went back and dragged Bode. I took the gun from Pleadies and a security card. 

When we arrived, I recognized the familiar EXIT sign. Only this time I felt a little uneasy about it. It was conveniently open to anyone. On the side was a security card swiper, I slid the card and a green dot appeared. A click came off inside the door but it made me unsettled. Behind this door was freedom. Behind this door was another chance to live. Or so I thought.
