Puppet Master

Chapter XXVII: How Could You

--------- Courtney's POV------------------

I felt as if I was awake. But something didn't seem right. And it wasn't. I was in a dark room, and there was a light at the end. I walked towards it to see the little boy from before sitting on the floor with blood on his hands. His sister was by him. "I killed them Bandit." he said. "I know but it's okay they deserved it." "No I don't think they did." "Whatever we have to leave soon so get ready." The girl hissed and walked off. The boy I could tell was Ace and the girl was Bandit. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He killed his parents out of revenge. I was quietly sobbing. Knowing that the Man I love killed two people out of vengeance. With no mercy or regret. I thought to my self that maybe, maybe we are not meant to be. How could I love a murderish man.

I walked down the stairs to see Ace trying to turn on the tv. "Ace!" I yelled. "Ya what's up Courtney?" he asked. "How could you kill innocent people! Your parents did nothing wrong and yet you killed them out of vengeance!" I yelled at him. "You don't even know the full story Courtney. And if that's how you think of it then maybe you should go. Or better yet I'll leave and never come back!" Ace yelled in my face as he stormed out and slammed the door in my face. I felt bad but he did kill them. People said I killed my parents but I didn't the semi did. How could he ever do that. How could he live with himself after that. And yet I thought I loved him.

-------------------Ace's POV---------------

I stormed out of the house. How could she think that of me. It's not entirely wrong but not entirely right either. Maybe it's best I leave. I can't have someone I care about or did think that of me. I've decided to leave on the next boat to serve in the Navy. It would be best. That way I don't have to see her.

I told Bandit the next day that I was leaving. She didn't take it we'll but she knew it was for the best. And she thought it would be cool to say "my brother served as a Navy dude." I walked aboard the ship. I have always loved ships. And I saw Chris saying goodbye to Sara. I guess Courtney didn't care that he was leaving. Oh we'll she's out of my mind. Now I can focus on the Navy and on this freakin awesome boat!!!! Goodbye Umbra hello Sea!
