The Relative

Chapter 14 - Omega

"Here are your rooms, the Omega will be with you all shortly. Make yourself at home." Andrea left us alone in front of our trailers, each beside each other. We all grouped together, keeping our voices low. "What do we do? Do what he says or leave?" Jason asked. "Who's Emily?" Zaria asked blatantly. "Zaria!" I exclaimed. "Sorry..." she muttered. Mark sighed. "It's okay. She was my girlfriend, but she took her life in an overdose. I had no idea she was even suicidal and I feel like it's my fault for not noticing. Now I have to live with that." Zaria opened her mouth to comfort him but Mark stopped her. "Don't. I don't want anymore pity." Silence. "You guys go on to your trailers, get cleaned up. We smell bad." Zaria laughed lightly. They started to go but I called one  of them, "Jason! Can I ask you something?" He nodded, staying behind. "Yeah Sam?" "What do you think Omega meant by telling us what we want?" "I think he wants us to stay. But to stay for what, I don't know." He said. We both wondered what was going to happen next.

I walked into my trailer, finding a bed, dresser, a bathroom, decorations, even a hammock stretching across a corner. Not my room back at the mansion, but good enough. I showered, which felt great after being nearly killed. I quickly changed and walked out, only to find Omega in my room. "Excuse you?!" I exclaimed. He laughed. "You better be glad I changed in there." I said, arms crossed. He smiled. "I came to talk to you about your want." "My parents?" Omega nodded. "I have them." "YOU WHAT?!!" Omega flashed a pearly white smile. "I am the end, the one who has all who have ended. I know where  they are and can help you reunite them with you. But," Of course there's a catch. "You must stay here and do whatever I say and when."  He stood and started pacing. "What about my friends? Aunt Lucy?"  Smooch. "What about them?" He smiled at me, chilling my bones. "They will either stay, or go. Depends on how badly what they want. You know, you're all the same." I stared at him confused. "What?" He stood next to me, and leaned in close. "It's all about love. You want your parent's love again. Mark wants a girl to love him. Jason doesn't want fake love, but true love. Zaria wants people to love her as a Beginner not a human." He brushed a piece of hair out of my face. "It's all about love for you." I purposely put another piece of hair in my face to annoy him, but it ended up annoying me. Omega smiled. "Think about my offer. You'll have a life here! Friends. Family." With a flick of his hand, he left my trailer, leaving me all alone and with a lot to think about.

We all met in my trailer to decide what to do. "What did Omega say to you guys?" Zaria asked. "To either go or stay and obey." I replied, Mark and Jason nodded in agreement. "What will you do?" I asked, facing them each in turn. "I'm staying." Mark replied. "He offered me a life here that I don't have back at the mansion." "We understand." Zaria replied. "I'm staying too." Jason and Zaria looked at me, surprised. "What did he offer you?!" Jason cried. "He's the end. He knows where my parents are and he can make a life here with them." I quietly said. "I'll miss you guys. I wish you luck if you stay or not." Jason and Zaria were stunned. "We're leaving." Jason said quietly. "When?" I asked. "In a couple hours. We have to." I rushed to Zaria and gave her a hug, squeezing her tightly. She returned it, and we both started to cry. "I'll miss you." I said. "I'll write to you if I can." She nodded, "I will too. I'll tell Ms. Lucy what you've decided." "Tell Keira that Smooch is hers until I visit, if I can." I added. Zaria's body began to shake with her crying, making me cry harder. We finally pulled away, laughing at each other by how we looked. I took a deep breath and calmed myself before turning to Jason. I hugged him tightly, and he returned it. "I'll miss you."  He said, burying his hands in my hair. "Me too. I'll write everyday." We pulled away, and I began to wish that it was longer. Jason and Zaria said their goodbyes to Mark, making me cry again. I hugged Zaria one last time, and then Jason and Zaria stepped out of the trailer.
