Crazy?

Chapter 17:My war

Jake's POV

She walked away from me. All I wanted to do was make sure she was ok and she walked away from me. To say I was scared was an understatement I was terrified. I didn't know what to do. I tried calming her down and it seemed to work. I should have never involved her in this but maybe it was fate...maybe we would have meet eventually. I asked her if she was ok but she didn't answer. She just asked me the same question but I knew it was about something else.

I though about the question as we walked to my future. I knew it was about my father, whether I was ready. Whether I am ready to kill him or not whether I'm ready to rule whether I'm ready for the consequences to my actions...there is only one answer to so many questions.

We walked into the halls that I saw very little when I was younger. I was mostly in the dungeon away from view and away from my horrible father most of the time. This hallway leads straight to the throne room where he should be. Before we get there we ran into my brother.

"Lucas" Yasameen ran to him and hugged him. He held her tight and smiled. He really does love her.

They hugged for what seemed like forever until my brother opened his eyes and saw that we were all staring at them.

"Um we have a situation" he let go of Yasameen and stared at me.

"What's wrong now?" I asked. Why can't we get a break.

"The good news is that he doesn't know that were here. We been keeping his soldiers at bay."

"And the bad news?"

"He has a lot more than I remember. I need help, I was going to go see if anybody was down here but I'm glad I ran into you."

"I have to be the one to finish this. I can't come, you can take the rest of them. It's better if I do this alone."

"No" Danielle looked at me "you are not doing this by yourself." I wanted to smile. She didn't want me to deal with this alone.

"Then y'all go with him me and Sam will go with pretty boy here." Danielle's dad pointed to my brother and walked in the direction he came from.

"Ok then I guess that's settled" my brother said his goodbye and walked off into the war. The war I should be fighting but am not. I go straight to the source of my problems...my father and I mentally prepare myself for what's to come.

We walk farther down the familiar hallway to the throne room. We had to take the long way to avoid the fighting. This made me more jumpy. I just wanted to get it over with...

We turned a corner and I see the double doors I was dreading but what really made me on edge was the rooms in the hallway. I walked up to the door I know so well...the inside is the same as it's always been. The other scientists didn't throw anything out, because I told them to. They would have kept it the same even if I couldn't tell them they knew she was like a mother to me they knew not to take it personally. She was the only one brave out of the three of them to even talk to me...to give me food...to be there. She talked most of the time...I had nothing to talk about except for pain. She talked about her family, she talked about her husband and her two kids. She said that her daughter was my age and that we would have been great friends, but every time I look at her, I see so much more...so many possibilities that we will never be able to explore. She will hate me for the rest of her life, and I wouldn't blame her...I would do the same.

Someone touched my arm and I looked up to see her beautiful face...maybe for the last time. I try to memorize her because I'm never going to see her again. I have to memorize how her eyes sparkle in the light and how she can bright the room up just by smiling and how she makes cute faces when she's confused, but I don't want to memorize it. I want to wake up every day and see that she is there. I want to wake up to that beautiful smile every day.

"are you alright?" She looked up at me.

"I'm fine. Let's go" that is the last time I will lie to her...that is the promise to myself that I make.

We walked into the room that leads into the throne room...I tell them to stay there that I would be back after the deed is done. Before I go into the room, I noticed that the double doors that are normally closed and guarded completely abandoned and open. I start to panic, and I made the mistake to look back with pure fear in my eyes. They notice the panic look on my face as I turned around. I shouldn't have done that now they are worried. They start to get to work right away. Diana passes by me and hides by the wall by the door with her weapon in hand while Yasameen tries to lock and block the doors we just came from so that way we only have one exit.

Diana points her gun in front of her so that way when I walk into the throne room, I know she's got my back. She peaks her head into the throne room and squatted down. She very carefully ran to the other side of the door and I stood where she was. Yasameen was almost done making sure nothing got through the door as Danielle tried to help as best as she could. I stopped looking at her when I heard noises in the room. I put my finger to my lips, and everyone stopped in their tracks. When I looked to make sure everyone was in position Danielle was right next to me looking at me. She told me what she was thinking with her eyes "I'm right here" but her attention went to the voices in the room and she immediately froze I did to.

I heard my father, but I also heard hers meaning that her brother and my brother were there as well but how. My brain was spinning. I have to save them...Danielle made the first move and moves closer to the door to spy I had to hold her arm from running to them when I saw that the guards who were supposed to be here guarding the doors were behind them with weapons drawn. She looked at me and I shook my head...I know I want to go to, but we are outnumbered by skill and by people. She shook her head that she understood, and she looked at the scene unfolding before us since I was taller than her, I could stand behind her and see what was going on as well. I had my hand on her back for her to know I was here right by her. She gave me a small smile and then we both watched and waited.
