The Imposter PT 4

(Buckle up buckaroo and fasten your seatbelt because this is gonna be a bumpy ride)

There was silence at first, then someone screamed. It was unclear who had screamed, but someone did. People began to panic, and Darryl could only watch as Alyssa fell to her knees in grief. Darryl looked over to Zak and found a small hint of a smile on his face. Darryl brushed it off however and returned to Alyssa. He walked over to her side and set his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Alyssa-"

Alyssa cut him off with a punch "How could you defend him!" She shouted, "He's so obviously the imposter!"

Darryl stumbled back a bit and looked up at Alyssa, hurt by her actions. He had tried to console her after she loses and she had hurt him.

"How dare you hurt Darryl!" Zak shouted running over to Darryl to defend him from the angry woman

Alyssa growled at Zak "You have absolutely no room to talk, you've literally killed people!"

"I'm not the imposter!"

Darryl watched as the two bickered back and forth, not sure if he should intervene or stay out of it. Luckily he didn't have to choose, because the captain pushed them apart.

"Both of you cut it out now!" He shouted

They swiftly did as they were told, and close their mouths, waiting for the captain to speak. He glared at both of them, before sighing.

"This isn't helping anything, alright?" He said, "What you can do is finish your tasks so we can go back home, alright?"

There were grumbles from many different areas of the room and the captain perked up.

"What was that?" He shouted

"YES SIR!" everyone shouted before everyone ran off in different directions

Zak grabbed Darryl's arm and dragged him away from Alyssa, who simply glared at the pair until they turned the corner. Darryl turned around and Zak loosened his grip on his hand.

"Z-Zak?" Darryl said

"Yeah?"

Darryl looked up at his raven friend "You'd tell me if you were the imposter, right?"

Zak stopped walking, causing Darryl to run into his back. Zak turned to Darryl and sighed.

"Darryl, I would never lie to you," Zak said

Darryl looked up at his friend and nodded, smiling sadly. But what shocked Zak was Darryl's next action. Now wrapped up in Darryl's arms, Zak thought for a second about what to do next. He raised his arms to Darryl's back and sighed. He wrapped his arms around Darryl, accepting the hug that his friend had so suddenly given him. Darryl smiled sadly before burying his head into Zak's suit.

"Zak, I'm scared," Darryl said, "I-I don't want to die, not here, not yet."

Zak nodded before he began to gently rub Darryl's back in an attempt to calm him down.

"You're not going to die here Darryl," Zak said, "I'll make sure of it."

"How, how can you say that?"Darryl asked "You can't control what happened-

"Darryl look at me."

When Darryl didn't comply I gently pushed his hand up to look up at me. Once Darryl's head was up, I confirmed that he was actually crying.

I smiled softly "Darryl, I will protect you with everything I've got, you hear me?" I said, "Nothing on this ship will hurt you while there's blood pumping through my veins."
