Crazy In Love || Dylan O'Brien

Chapter 22

Playlist: The hate inside-ft Sam Tinnesz

"Snow told me what went down, you went with them...I hope that wasn't an act of betrayal"

Leaning his head to rest on the palm of his hand, he watches the green eyed boy with calculating, cold eyes. Sat like the king he self proclaimed himself to be, he occupied his usual large chair while peering down intently on the boy before him.

"It wasn't, Master. I saw an opportunity and I took it, there was no time to inform you"

The boy bowed his head slightly, the words flowing easily from between his lips. He never felt afraid of this man, unlike everyone else. Because when you experience death twice, and lose everyone you ever cared about, it tends to leave little options to what could scare you.

"What did you find then?"

"I found out where the cure is...It's in the O'Brien boy's blood"

"Interesting...did you find out anything else?"

A smirk grew on the man's face, feeling satisfied with the green eyed boy's work.

"The cure could be extracted from his blood, we could still have it to ourselves"

He tried to push the nagging feeling of guilt back, tried to push away the image of those wild brown orbs appearing before his eyes in disappointment.

"I trusted you..."

He snaps his eyes shut on hearing her familiar voice, echo with such pain

"Send me Snow"

The man waved dismissively in one of his guards direction. With a small bow, the guard leaves to fetch his master the white haired woman.

"The next step in the plan is ready to be executed..."

And the smirk on his face only grows, but the green eyed boy doesn't meet his gaze yet, not of fear of him, but rather of fear that his true different emotions running behind his eyes to show. If the man would see the emotions in the green eyed boy, he'd question if his heart was still in this anymore. And if not, that only led to one consequence.

"This is all my fault..."

After finally waking up, realisation of what happened finally sinks in. The brown eyed boy frantically runs outside, looking for her. But about three blocks down from his house and he realises that she didn't leave any trace behind as to where she left.

And so walking back inside the house, he finds them all gathered in the main room of the lab. James sitting before one of the computers as he types something away quickly.

"Since no one has reported her missing and we can't yet do that, there's no file I could find in here. She hasn't caused any accidents and so the police isn't looking for her..." James trailed off, his fingers hovering shakily over the keyboard.

He had hacked the police department system, searching for maybe anyone reporting anything strange or reporting any damage that she could've done in her current state.

"I saw this coming, I should've protected her..." the brown eyed boy mumbles lowly with a shake of his head.

"You saw what coming?" Ivana asks cautiously with furrowed eyebrows.

"I saw her eyes turn blue, I saw her turn her back and disappear into this fog...I think I somehow saw a fraction of the future of what now happened to her back then" Dylan explained himself further, desperation evident in his eyes.
