Kapitel Fünzehn

Chapter 15...

My eyes flutter open and I scan the room to see if everything was still intact, and by that I mean if everyone is still alive and well. I see Robyn sitting on a chair, his back to me, I sigh and cleared my throat loud enough for him to hear.

He turned around and looked at me, we held the gaze for a while, tension rising. I purposely put on a bored expression, well it's not a fake because I'm actually bored, "are you gonna go to bed or are you just going to stare at me?".

"I think I'm good just staring at you", he answered.

I get up from bed and equip myself with all my stuff. I turn to look at him and he was still staring, "Why?", I ask hoping I don't have to explain why I asked 'why'.

"Cuz you're really pretty", I just blink at him, there is a small smirk planted on his perfectly sculpted face.

"If you're trying to make me blush, you got straight F's in all your papers", yh that wiped the stupid smirk off of his face, "dumbass", I murmured.

"I'm sorry", he finally addressed the elephant in the room.

"For?", I decide to play dumb.

"I didn't know you hate it when people compare your sister with other people", he explained.

"Good to know", I walked to the mini-fridge to see if anything edible was still there and not expired. I opened it and to my delight, two bottles of beer. I pick them out and tossed one at him, then I dragged a chair lightly and sat on it the other way around (like I'm straddling it), not the normal way.

He opened his and I gave him mine to open, he opened it and handed it back to me, "here".

"Why thank you", I placed a hand on my chest in mock gratitude, "how manly of you".

"Your sister-"

"Don't bore me with talk about my sister", I cut him off.

"Ok what do you want to talk abou-"

"Shhhh", I shush him, I keep my gaze on the window of the building right across from this one, I saw it through the tiny slit in the curtains. A shadow walked past the window again, then I saw the shape of a person holding a sniper, "shit", I grab Robyn's collar and lean towards my right, bringing him down with me, enough to save his life but not enough to save his left arm from getting shot, "Fuck!!!", he yelled.

The sound of the chairs hitting the ground hard and Robyn yelling caused everyone to wake up, "get down!", I yell at all of them and they quickly dropped down to take cover, everyone scurried to get their weapons, if the shooter is using thermal vision, then it can take us out with seeing us through the curtains. "Sniper, 11 o'clock", I tell Jade, when she crawls to meet me.

Everyone was prone on the floor and I take binoculars from my bag and went up to crouch position and hurried to the corner of the wall and turned up the room heater to 40. A bullet hit the wall beside me and I run back to the side of the chair that is shielding Jade, Robyn and I.

"Whoever that person is an amateur sniper", I informed them knowing that what I did was too risky. I started to feel the heat already, by now the thermal vision should be fucked up, so the person is probably going to fuck off or switch back to normal and keep searching for an idiot like me to poke their head out of the curtain. The person is obviously using thermal because there's no way they could have seen me turning up the heater.
