The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Twenty Five

They all blinked rapidly at me taking in what I had just suggested what we should do. Dylan and his brother stood up and joined me showing their support. Of course they knew what it was like. Nobody here did because the monster did not have time to manipulate them.

"If you won't help me," I said quickly. "I'll just do it myself. Somehow."

Abruptly I walked out not waiting for their replies, Dylan and his brother were behind me. As if predicting my movements.

I went into my room them both following. Before I can say anything Dylan's brother spoke, "My name is Axel, you have earned it."

They both leave soon after that leaving me to my own thoughts, I frowned as they left but they did not notice.

We needed to get rid of the monster, he was behind everything. The hate. The violence. The deaths. He did not deserve justice, he deserved whatever we could give him and a long painful death. For Leo. For everyone he has harmed. The people deserved to know who the real monster was between us and The Faculty and when they did, I hopes they'd welcome us back with open arms. I knew it was a dream but it was all I could do until he was dead. Dream.

Dylan and Axel had both escaped his grasps, I also had once done it and the female and male locked up will also escape his grasp. Of course I wanted to help more people but I felt that he needed to be dealt with. The more people we helped the even more people he would get to fight us. We were losing. When we need to win.

I had been left alone the rest of the day. Probably orders from Dean saying that I needed to calm down. But that is what is not needed- we all should be angry and fight him. Fight the problem. Instead of delaying and letting him gather his strength and come back here. He was here before and If he did not know where I was before, he does know. He knows where this place is. There is nothing stopping him. Apart from everyone here has an ability, he would need an army behind him to counter strike them and maybe he has it.

When the monster wanted something he never stopped until he got it, Leo and I were like his little minions. Always wanting to please him. So when he wanted something we made sure to get it. Or them. There was multiple people Leo and I captured for him. God knows I'd they are alive or not. If they weren't, it was our fault. Well mine, as Leo isn't here to share the blame.

Dean, Dylan and Axel walk into my room after an hour to find me still in the same state. Can you blame me? I thought he had died and I was finally free but here he is, still making my life a nightmare. I smile weakly at them. They need to know this place isn't safe, he's been here. He will do it again.

"It's not like we don't want him dead Lyria" Dean began but I could not stop myself from cutting him off.

"He's been here before Dean looking for me! He will come again. Last time he was scouting and saw Leo and I. He's going to return with an army and unless we kill him- those people will kill you without blinking."

I was huffing my breath as I clenched my fists by my side. They had to believe me, I would not lie. He would kill anybody in his way for what he wanted and after all these years, he still wanted me. I could not let him have me, I could not go back to how I once was. Leo had saved me back then and I had failed to return the favour, I could not let him take me- for Leo's sake. I pleaded Dean with my eyes completely forgetting Dylan and Axel were watching me like a hawk. Dean slightly shook is head in annoyance or like he was not agreeing with my reasoning. I groaned in annoyance.

Why were people so hard to convince? Any normal person would agree with me, right? But Dean... Not him, he has to take the highroad. What's going to change his mind? One of his friends dying by that monsters hand?

My eyes flickered to Axel and Dylan darting between the both of them begging them to speak up and agree with me. They knew what would happen everyone here. Hell, I bet when they were under his control they was going to do it. To anybody who stopped them. Like Leo. Like everyone in this damn warehouse.

Suddenly, I turned round and my fist smashed into the wall behind me. Pain rushed through me but I blinked the tears away and stopped any sound coming from my mouth. I stayed there for a bit, my fist still up against the wall but my head hanging down in defeat because I was. They all disagreed with me. They all wanted to risk the life of themselves and others here because they did not know this monster. I cringed at the thought of everyone dying around me. Was this all because of me? Would they all die because of me?

An arm carefully and slowly wrapped around my slim shoulders, they slightly squeezed as they pulled me into them. They just held me as I held my whimpers in but the tears ran down my cheek.

"Its okay," Axels cold voice breathed as he hesitantly patted my head like I was some sort of animal. "We will deal with it."

As soon as he finished he abruptly left. Question flew round my head like a tornado was happening just in my brain making my temples rush with pain. What had he meant? Did he agree with me when everyone else didn't. It was a long shot to make everyone understand how dangerous this monster was. Unless you had been manipulated by him, you could not comprehend what he was like. Axel and Dylan knew the truth. Could I count on them?
