CHAPTER 4 - Explosive Love and Terror
I snuggle deep into his arms, which carefully wrap around my body. His chin seems to fit right on top of my head. His hands are rubbing my back. I appreciate him not pressuring me to answer the question because I actually had no idea what just happened.
I finally realize that my cheeks are damp with an endless flow of tears that never seem to help any situation. he holds me there for what seems like forever.
I feel his arms hold me a little tighter, and then I am being carried up the stairs.
"Love?" He asks. "Did they hurt you?" I shake my head into his chest. I don't trust my self to be able to not stutter if I speak. Aaron takes me up to the bedroom.
The air in the room has a dead feel to it, like in Omega Point. Where Adam and Kenji are heading, where I will no longer be an ally in their eyes, but forever be a traitor. I don't think I could stand the look on James's face when he finds out what I've done.
What have I done? Is there a law there that says you can't love someone? I push the thought out of my head. I would most likely never go back there again. So what did it matter? The fact that I want to go back.
"I'm fine." I say into his neck. "Just tired." I am set down against the pillows, and instinctively curl up into the warm blanket. I hear Aaron turn to leave.
"Don't go." I pled. He looks back at me, then up. Probably thinking about all the work he has waiting. But he sits down on the bedside, holding my hand.
"They're going to come back." He says. "They probably think I brainwashed you into thinking that you love me or something." I nod.
"How long?" I ask him.
He shrugs. "Soon. A few days at least."
"You aren't going to leave again are you?" I ask him, already knowing the answer. He would never leave me again.
"No." He says. "So what are we going to do to pass the time?"
"I can think of a few things." I say.
I pull his body closer to me. Pulling his lips down on mine. We kiss. He keeps his arms down at his sides. I have to place them on my waist, to tell him that it's ok to touch me. One hand cups the back of my neck, holding me there.
I feel the smooth skin of his tongue rub my lips. Asking if it was ok to enter. It was. Our tongues dance together. He is the one to pull back.
"Goodnight Juliette." He says, confusing me. I only just realize that the sun has left the sky and is replaced by a rotating pattern of stars in the darkness.
He pulls my body against his. And I fall asleep, with his arm holding me to him. Protecting me from the evil outside the window.
I am woken up when I hear the horrible sound of, well I'm not quite sure what it is.
"Bombs!" Aaron screams, "Keep your head down." And I do. But after a minute of no more explosions, he sits up.
"We must get ready." He says. I can tell by the fear in his voice that he is trying so hard to cover that we are leaving.
I jump out of bed. I'm still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I race with him into the closet. By the time I get there he is stuffing clothes, and other things into two large backpacks. I try to help him, but he stops me.
"Go downstairs into the kitchen," He says "Pack up anything dry you and find into this." He hands me one of the backpacks. I race down the stairs. Shakespeare is hiding under the couch.
I grab the bags of cereal in the cabinets, and stuff them into the bag. I can hear Aaron's loud footsteps running down the stairs.
"Juliette?" He yells.
"I'm here!" I yell back to him. He runs into the kitchen and helps me pack some other foods into the bag.
"Where are we going?"
"I know you won't like this but, I think we will have to get to Omega Point." He says.
I want to scream No in his face, but I can tell that he doesn't want to go there either, so it must be the only place safe.
"It's underground." He explains. "Deep underground." We finish packing the bags.
"Here." He says. I put on the backpack he hands me. "Let's get out of here."
He lifts up Shakespeare, and we're off. We run down the street. The explosions are being set off farther away now, and you can't even feel the shaking ground anymore.
I count while we run. After running fifteen minutes we find a large shed, not unlike the one Adam and I found the tank in while escaping. There must be something in there. And I was right inside there was a tank.
We jump in, and drive. We don't talk. The sounds of the explosions even further away. I can barely hear them anymore, and I can finally feel the throbbing pain pulsing in my right ear. For a minute I think I might of lost my hearing, but then I recognize the slight hum of the tank in my ear. It was gone, but only temporarily. I won't become deaf in my right ear.
"Almost there." Aaron warns. I can just see the warehouse up ahead. We must have been traveling for at least an hour now.
We leave the tank far away in the forest and disable the trackers it would send back to where ever tracking would be sent. We run with our bags, Shakespeare runs behind us, following us.
I hear a bang. And at first I think it is another explosive, but out of the corner of my eye I can see Aaron fall to the ground. And as soon as I see him I hear the bang again. This time I can feel a pain in my shoulder. I fall next to Aaron.
"Love?" I hear him say. "It's ok. It's them." He barely makes out the words before he falls into a deep sleep. I can't move my arm to take his hand because that is the shoulder that got hit. So I snake my leg over and tangle my foot with his, and then I can't move.
I can barely see the feet running towards us when the tranquilizers take over.
