INSURGENCY

Chapter 6: Deception

Seth walked to his room. He had a worried look on his face. He laid down on his bed, arms behind his head. He couldn't stop thinking about what happened. Memories flooded his mind.

Jack was sobbing in the background during the fight with Mateo. Jack pushed him out of the way. Jack lying on the floor, hands covered in blood. Jack caressing his cheek.

Seth couldn't take it any more. That's it, he has to see Jack. Seth got up and headed towards his window. He opened it up, but before he jumped out, Liza came in. "Seth, what are doing?" asked Liza. "I needed fresh air for tomorrow," lied Seth. "OK," replied Liza, suspiciously. "Well, don't stay up too long. You know what's going to happen tomorrow." "OK," said Seth. With that, Liza left, closing the door behind her. Seth checked to see if it's OK to leave. He turned off the lights and headed out the window, closing the window a little bit. He ran to see where his dear Jack was.

Jack was lying down on a bed. The insurgents found a new abandoned house that they could stay in hiding. Mateo entered the room to see how he was doing. "Hey," said Mateo. "Hey," said Jack. "You're OK?" asked Mateo. "Yeah, I'm fine," said Jack. He tried to get up, but he was too sore to do it. "You need to rest," said Mateo. "I know," replied Jack. "I'm gonna come back soon, OK?" said Mateo. Jack nodded. Mateo headed towards the door and left. Jack rested his head back down. It wasn't after two minutes that Jack heard something tapping his window. Jack struggled to get up but succeeded. He headed towards his window and saw Seth. He smiled and opened his window. Seth crawled through the window and passionately hugged Jack. "Puddin, what are you doing here?!" asked Jack. "I wanted to see if you're OK and I want to see my sweet Jack," said Seth. Jack blushed a dark shade of red. Seth lifted Jack's head by his chin and was about to kiss him, but Dinah, Mateo, and Selina came in. "What is he doing here?!" asked Selina, getting ready to fight. "Wait!" said Jack. "He's not here to hurt us. He came here to see how I was doing." Jack snuggled into Seth's muscular chest. "Yeah, it's true," said Seth. "Since I'm here, I have to tell you about the next plan." "What is it?" asked Dinah. "We start the takeover tomorrow morning," answering Seth. "We need to stop them," said Jack. "Seth, please join us!" Jack's hand was on Seth's right cheek. "OK, I will," said Seth. Jack happily hugged him with his leg in the air. "I have to go," said Seth, sadness in his tone. "The others don't know I joined you or that I left. I could tell you the plans so you could take down the regime." "Sounds like we have a mole in the regime," said Mateo. "Sure. You're in." Seth hugged Jack before heading towards the window. "Good luck, Puddin," said Jack. "Thanks. I love you," said Seth, caressing Jack's cheek. Before Jack could say 'I love you, too,' Seth had already left. "I love you, too," said Jack, under his breath. He was disappointed that he didn't say it earlier. "Come Jack, we need some rest," said Selina. Jack nodded and went to his bed and fell asleep, dreaming about Seth.

Seth returned to his room's window. He opened it up and quietly got into the building. He quietly closed the window and headed to his bed. "Where were you?!" asked an unknown person. "Who's there?" asked Seth. The light turned on, and Seth saw Sam. "Where were you?" asked Sam. "I went for a walk," lied Seth. "Don't lie to me," threaten Sam. "Or I'll do something worse than your fear." Sam pulled out his sickle. Seth saw it and thought of what he might do. "Fine. I went to see Jack. I needed to see if he's OK," said Seth. "Are you working with the enemy?" asked Sam, raising his sickle to Seth cheek. "No, I'm not," lied Seth, his heart pounding out of fear. Sam cut Seth cheek with the edge of his sickle. "Seth, we're friends so I'm gonna let this one slide, but if you do something like this again, I'm god damn sure I'll do way worse to you and your lover," said Sam. Sam left Seth's room. Seth went to his restroom and treated his cut to make it stop bleeding. You could see its starting to heal. He exited his restroom and headed to bed. He took off his outfit and started to get into bed. He was shirtless and in his boxers. He snuggled into bed and let his mind wonder to his dreams about Jack. He smiled in his sleep. It was a Full Moon tonight. Moonlight lit up Seth's and Jack's room. Tomorrow will prove their loyalty for each other and their friends. The insurgents have free their friends before it's too late, but Kal has a secret hasn't told anyone. The insurgents and the regime members has no idea what's gonna happen.
