The One I need Chapter Two The Truth Of Horror

Seventeen: The Traitor

I held my bow in my hands, careful to not fire it. We had to head quiet as possible, there was now high level security roaming the streets of Battery, Metal and Torture City.

I looked around and ran to an alleyway and hid there.

We had all decided to meet up at Metal City as it would mean less noise and less attention to us. We'd basically be invisible to the security demons.

I looked up and saw small parachutes floating down. I reached up and opened one, spilling the contents out onto the ground.

Water. They had found out where I was.

There must've been cameras, videoing my every move. But where? I looked around and spotted a moving object on the wall in front of me.

I got a gun out and shot the glass of the camera, making it break.

I looked around for anymore cameras, only to find no more.

'She's got to be here somewhere,' I heard a voice.

'She'll be here. If Anri knows her, she'd know where she'd go,' another said.

Was one of the people Azurewrath? I couldn't tell, it was as if I was slowly losing my hearing.

I shot the camera again to make my presence known. I peeked around the wall as the people looked around.

I was right, one really was Azurewrath. What did he mean by 'Anri would know where I'd go'?

'Hey!' I yelled as I ran out into the street in front of them.

I watched as they got their weapons ready to fight. I got my bow loaded with an arrow ready to shoot if needed.

'I've been waiting,' Azurewrath grinned.

'So have I,' I said as I stared at him.

I heard four sets of feet running towards me. I turned around and saw Kofo, Vrosvurs, Crescentia and Hikari running towards me to help me out if needed.

'Where's Anri?' I asked.

'I'm here!' She called from behind me.

I turned back around and saw she wasn't in the same get up as before. She now wore her now blue hair back in a sleek ponytail and wore ankle boots and fingerless gloves.

'Anri, whose side are you on?' I asked her.

She stood in the middle of me and Azurewrath and walked to him.

'Have you got your answer?' She asked sweetly.

I nodded, stung. She had always been on my side and now she was on the dark side.

I get that friends come and go, yes, but when it's your best friend you're gonna feel hurt.

I lifted my bow and arrow and aimed it at Anri. It was as if all that pent up anger was getting ready to get out of me after all these years.

'Wanna rethink that answer?' That sounded harsher than I meant it to, but it felt so good to say that.

'No.'

I got ready to shoot the arrow just as Hikari made me put it down.

'Ambrosia, you're overreacting,' he told me.

'Overreacting?!' My voice was getting louder and louder each second, 'OVERREACTING?!' My voice was a full on yell at this point, 'how am I overreacting when someone I thought was on our side goes to the dark side?!'

I was about to shoot when I came up with something else to say.

'Hikari, wouldn't you shoot to kill me if I went to the dark side?' I asked him.

Nod.

'Crescentia, would you say he's 'overreacting' if he was about to shoot me?' I asked her.

Nod.

'So Hikari, I'm not overreacting,' I spat at him, the venom in my voice too hard to disguise.

I was about to pull the string when I said one last thing to Anri.

'Burn in Hell,' I spat.

Twang.

The arrow flew through the air towards her and everyone knows that when I shoot to kill, I don't miss.

The arrow landed in her heart as she crumpled like a piece of paper to the floor, dead.

I had killed my own best friend and I felt no remorse.

'Next time, Ambrosia,' Azurewrath spat.
