xiii. pick your fate

"What was going on?" Quincey yelled.

"How'd you find the megaphone?" Raya asked, curiously.

"Look, Raya, we just need you to give up. I know how desperately your family could use a nice person,"

"I am sorry, but there is no way I could ever affiliate with you guys!" Raya yelled, stepping back, disgusted.

Raya was taken aback, how could her brother say such cruel things? Why would things have to be this way? She wanted to really badly stay with Archie and talk to him, but, did not want to leave them all.

As their leader, she stood tall and strong, returning back to the real problem, "Quincey, how could you? You made it passed our hard test of worthiness,"

"If you call role-playing a hostage simuater a 'hard est of worthiness', then sure, a hard test of worthiness."

The crowd from her group was roaring, and cheering, wanting their leader to be burned at the steak for allowing someone to die. For commiting the gruesome act of murder of which she did, and for allowing a traitor onto their property, to commit treason, like he'd already done, unbeknownst to the rest of humanity, but his group.

Her own group shoved Raya out of the gates, leading Raya to be alone, without a home. Without anywhere to lead, she had been lead to be anywhere at this point. It was as if the world could swallow her up whole, and no one would notice, no one would care.

Conner head the commotion from the underground station, since they were extremely loud, and he did not want to attract any attention from them. He walked out of the underground station were prepared for anything. Fighting, pushing, shoving, yelling, cussing, kicking. It was a mad house.

Conner saw Raya, sitting down, with no one, far away from her groups riot that was taking place. Conner walked over, "I wish that we could go to the train station together,"

"You know," Raya began, getting up, "You know what they do to murderers in the train station? Because of this riot which was started because I was not being attentive, and seeing every detail to notice that he'd been in our place before,  the news will spread quickly, which means they're going to e after us! We'll have bounties on our heads in the next 5 hours. We'll need to leave, go to mexico, change our names,"

"Relax, you're in the dark side now. You can't return, or else you'll be killed. It's too late for saying sorry. If anyone wants to kill us, we'll have a bunch of guns ready to kill everyone, in the end, it'll be you and I, the last two people on this earth."  Conner said, before putting his arm around Raya.

"I can't believe you brought me here," Raya said. "Surely I wanted to be a rebel, a bitch, a very bad person, but I never expected to take things to the point where we'd have to leave."

It then dawned on Conner that no one would look in the houses. They saw the rocket launch, then why did they not go back? Every was too busy figthing and comitting acts of war for no damn reason, that they forgot about the fact that this was not a nuclear bomb, it was just a mass killing spree assembled by the government. The houses had been left standing, intact. It would be the perfect place to hide; no bills to pay in this world anyway, but now, they could actually have a lightsource, heat, power, energy, water, food. Everything they would need to survive. It would be the best idea for them to ever have. Whule the people of the forest were busy fighting when they could be relaxing, but were too busy fighting to notice that it was not actually the end of the world, they would be peacefully realxing until the end of their days.

Thus, Raya left them for worse things. She did not care if she was leaving her role of the leader, she just had to stay alive.

Archie walked into her eyesight, and then Raya walked over to give him a hug.

"Do you know what you're going to do?" Archie asked.

"No, I don't, but, I can't stay here." Raya said, nervously, "but Archie, I need you right now," Raya actually began to cry. It did ruin Conner's idea of being the final two on earth, but Raya held Archie tight, needing for him to come alone with the two killers. Raya only wanted to protect Archie, "Please, we're going to find the city. We are going to the city. We know the way, because we've navigated these forests before due to ilegal trades."

"I don't want to know about that," Archie said.

Archie knew the trouble that would come about from staying with them, but could care less. He was a thrill-seeker, wanting to see what would happen. He had knives closeby in pockets, so he would not be too lost and in danger if any of the two tried to attack him out of nowhere.

"Okay,"

Meanwhile, Quincey, Lidia and Raymen were conversing over what to do about the situation. They were seriously nervous as they hid towards the back.

"So," Quincey looked down, "the riot is growing pretty strong," Quincey began, "I want you to be safe, so I was thinking, my group is a pretty harmless place?" Quincey suggested, "and we're going to dedicate our time to hunt Raya down."

"That sounds amazing. It sounds way better then the riot," Raymen said, as he turned to Lidia, "are you going to leave as well?" She asked

"Yeah," Lidia nodded simply, agreeing to the terms or lack-thereof.

"Then, let's go,"

And it was in those words, that everyone's fate was to be solid and firm -- doom.
