Chapter 34

FIVE HAD WAITED for Vanya to end the call long enough to end it himself. So he put down the empty mug, went over to the payphone where Vanya was, and hung it up without a word.

"What the hell?" Vanya bellowed after he interrupted her call.

Five looked at her in the eye before replying, "We don't have time for this."

The brunette was annoyed by her brother. Since she lost her memory, she didn't have any idea Five would be this rude. "That's my friend you just hung up on." She complained.

"Listen to me." The boy gripped her shoulders to snap her out of it and get her to hear him out, "Those people from the field are coming after us." He softly explained, "They are never gonna stop. Do you understand me?" He continued, "We need to stick together, find the others, figure out how to stop doomsday."

Before Vanya could argue with him of how he was being unrefined to her friend, Five didn't think twice of anticipating, "Whoever this person is, they can't be more important than the end of the world." He let go of her shoulders and stood up straight, not caring how Vanya glared at him, "We need to go."

Vanya didn't want to believe him at all. But the way he talked about it looked like he was telling the truth. She didn't have any choice. So she placed the handset back on the cradle and followed her brother out unwillingly.

Klaus and Y/N went to stop by in front of a hardware store. The girl could hear both Ben's and Klaus' thoughts at the same time; her ghost brother thought Klaus was being selfish and ridiculous about it, while the other one was nervous to see someone.

She wanted to stay and see how it goes. But she couldn't. Not when she was already thirty minutes late for the sit-in. "Listen, I have to go." She informed only to have him respond with a nod. "But whoever it is you're about to meet up with," she suddenly spoke up, grabbing Klaus' attention, "I wish you the best of luck." She consoled.

It made him feel better even though it was just a little bit. "Thank you." He said, pulling her into a hug for one last time before she got herself out of the car.

As soon as she set foot on the pavement, she went for a quick stop to Elliott's with a mix of jogging and walking to check how everyone was holding up... And to get herself hydrated since she was feeling parched after her and Allison visited Klaus.

Y/N got back to Elliott's place just as Elliott finished making tuna mold for lunch. "Oh, you're just in time for lunch. Want some?" He offered.

The girl went straight for his refrigerator, not having the want to see a tuna filled gelatin jiggle. "Thanks, Elliott, but I'm not that hungry." She resisted as she filled up a tall glass with water, "How's Diego?"

"Uh, he's alright. He's in my room, resting." Elliott replied, taking his tuna mold with him to the counter. Y/N had finished drinking in no time. She wiped the excess water off her mouth with her hand only to realize it still smelled like boiled eggs and mayonnaise. She groaned in disgust as she brought the glass to the sink and washed her hands immediately, getting rid of the smell from her hands.

After doing so, she flicked her hands to dry. "Okay, thanks, Elliott." She sighed before she checked on Diego and inform him that she'll be going out again.

"Hey, Diego, I'm heading ou-- Whoa!" But when she reach the open doorway, she was met by the sight of him and Lila making out. The two off them pull away from each other as soon as they suddenly heard Y/N's voice, "For goodness sake, at least close the door!" She complained, looking away from them in disgust, "I'll be heading out now." She added before closing the door herself.
