Chapter No22
"Thought we built a dynasty the heaven couldn't shake,
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made,
thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up.."

veryone is talking.I'm the only one quiet,drowned by my tries to come up with something that doesn't end up with bloodshed.I'm seated at the side of the room,legs crossed,arms the same,my eyes on my mother,which is yelling,her looks like she is about to kill someone.
"What if I leave?"I speak up,gaining the attention of everyone in the room."I could-"
"Outside.Now."Elias interrupts me,and leaves.I look down sighing before standing up.I give my mother a glance.
"You're thinking about it."I shake my head.She can at least pretended she cares what happens to me."Now I see your true colours,Selene."
Outside Elias is waiting for me,clearly pissed.Once he sees I have arrived,he pinches his nose ready to start talking,but I do first,wanting to say what I have to say before he has a chance to talk me out of it.
"Don't do that.Don't do the whole nose pinching/'i don't approve the stupidity you are about to do' nose thing."
"But I don't!"His body is dangerously away from me,and I close my eyes,unable to see him so pissed.
"Please.I need to do this.Too many people died because of me."
"If you think you're gonna talk me out of stopping you,you're delusional.What about saving the world huh?Do you just forget that?Let's say we run.What next?"He shouts,not caring if people are looking at us then quickly looking away.
"We?"
"There's no way you're going anywhere without me."He takes a pause,coming closer to me,cupping my face with his hands."You die,I die remember?"
"I said that to you."My voice only a whisper.I'm honesty surprised he remembers..
"I know...I mean it Hayley.If you die,I'm gonna loose my mind."
I sigh,giving in to the feeling of his arms around me,and I hug him so hard,like it's the last time I'll see him.
We pull apart,and I nodd,just when Selene walks out.
"We are going to our next stop.You two will take a different route with Indra,and we'll meet you there."She avoids eye contact with me,and I turn my eyes elsewhere.
"Why the sudden change?"I raise my brow.
"We were suppose to do it earlier,but your..arival,slowed us down."I feel like that's a direct hit saying 'You stalled us'.But I decide to stay quiet."We leave in ten."
Before I can even ask anything or say something,she turns in a sudden spin,heading back in.
Ten it is.
After I change clothes real quick - because I feel like I won't have a chance to do so for a while - ,I meet with Elias back outside.We walk through the croud of people passing us fast,everyone working on the task they were given.
"I still have a bad feeling about this."Elias mutters and I intertwine our fingers.
"So do I.."I answer and he gives my hand a quick squeeze to tell me that he's there for me.But I still can't help but fell..vulnerable?Exposed?I don't know what label to put to this feeling,but I know whatever it is,I don't like it.
A regular dark blue off road rover awaits for us,with Indra patiently standing next to it.Her dark red hair are waving slightly with the wind,her blue eyes fixed on us.Elias gets in the drivers seat,and I get in the seat next to him,leaving Indra in the back seat.Although she did complain about it,she still sat there.I tap my foot on the floor of the car,extending my hand back to grab the seatbelt,but my hand is left empty.I look back realizing there's actually not any seatbelts.
"Where are the seatbelts?"I ask and Indra shoots me a glare like I'm an idiot.Why?What's so wrong about seatbelts?Safety first they used to say right?
We pass the camp,and I sigh.I've been here hardly three days and I fucked up their whole agenda.How fast I can screw up everything is giving me anxiety.
Suddenly out of nowhere,a car is heading our way from Elias's side with huge speed.I scream Elias's name but it's too late to avoid the car now.The car hits us violently,and my head hits the glass window,everything turning black.
*****
I flicker my eyes open slowly,my vision blurry,every part of me in pain.I groan as I try to get up,failing miserably.I high pitched noise escapes my lips when I place my hands next to my head to support my effort of getting up,but immediately getting penetrated by shards of glass.Now that my vision has cleared out,I take a good look around me.Elias is nowhere to be seen,and Indra is behind me.The car is upside down,leaving me and Indra on the roof.I call out to her,to make sure she is fine and thank God she is.
I place my hand on the broken door and push it open,then pulling myself out.I ignore the pain when I catch my reflection on the wing mirror of the car.Half of my face is covered in my blood,the rest full of small cuts,one big on my bottom lip.I support my weight on the car,my legs unable to do their job properly.I scan the place when I find him.He lies unconscious on the ground,far away from the car.Maybe he tried to get out and passed out..
"Elias?!"My raspy voice calls out to him but he doesn't respond.I walk around the car,still leaning onto it.I stumble to his body,falling clumsily next to him.I place my hands on his shoulders shaking him.
"Elias.Elias wake up!"I shout and he groans.I close my eyes in relief and he opens his eyes.When he sees me his eyes are full o worry but I shake my hands."I'm fine.I'm fine."He sits up and I help him.
"Where's-Where's Indra?"He frowns.
"She's in the-"I stop where I see that where Indra was before is now empty."She-She was right there!"I get up still limping a little.Suddenly someone grabs me from behind pulling me away from Elias."No!"I shout but I don't have much strength to actually break free.It's not long until two more cars have arrived and people are getting out.One has Indra.The shove us to our knees,Elias next to me,Indra next to him.They are pointing all the guns at us,no space for us to escape.
A tall guy,approaches us,but from where I am,his faced is covered with a mask.He takes a good look at me,then at Elias before laughing loudly.
"Now that's what I call,a power couple."He says,clearly being sarcastic.
Hold on..I've heard that voice before..
"Fox."Elias says angrily trying to escape but he is too weak from the accident leaving they guy with an evil grin.
His attention turns to me,and walks closer.
I take a good look at his eyes when it hits me.
"No..No you-"I whisper my voice cracking at what he has become.
"Took you long enough."He takes off his mask."Hello sister.Missed me?"
Elias's eyes go wide,and I look at him which causes Adam to laugh again.
"You two idiots were clueless weren't you?"
"I swear I didn't know.."I say to Elias my eyes filled with tears.He stays quiet,but he gives me a meaningful look.
"Oh don't tell me you too-I am so gonna enjoy this."He chuckles and I turn to him disgusted.
"Who are you?"
He squats down grabbing my face with one hand with so much force it hurts.
"Trust me baby sister.You're gonna to find out."There's so much hate in his eyes.
Moments later we are thrown into a car,I don't even know for how long,until we arrive somewhere I don't recognise.They immediately push us down to the cells.Individual cells for each one,but still next to each other.
"If anyone else rises from the dead I'm gonna freak out."Elias sad chuckles and I sit closer to his cell.
"I'm so sorry..."A single tear runs down my cheek.His eyes meet mine and he shakes his head.
"It's not your fault.You didn't kill Layla.He did."
"But still-"
"Hayley stop.Y-You're not responsible for everyone.If someone should be sorry,it should be me.I lied to you.I never told you I worked for A.G.N.U.S. I should have told you."I stay silent at what he just told me,and I gently place my hand on his,my eyes fixed in front of me.
"I know."He goes to speak but no words leave his mouth.I look at him and he takes a breath.
"Indra."
"Yeah..I was pretty mad at you at first,but then I realized you've lost as much as I did because of them.I won't judge you.I never will."
"Such a beautiful moment."Adam walks through the door clapping his hands at an annoyingly slow pace."Take her."He orders and a man unlocks my cage and grabs chains tying my hands again.I try to fight but he's too strong for me,Hayley with a concussion and a limping leg.
"No let her go!"Elias shouts pulling at the bars and Adam pulls out his gun.
"It's been fun old friend,but we don't need you."Adam says like he doesn't give a fuck,and I look at him with a pleading look.
"Please Adam no.Adam.."
He doesn't listen to me.He pulls the triger."ADAM!"
"No!"I scream."Elias!No!No!Let me go!"
They shove me in a room and I punch at the door,hit it with everything I've got but I know it won't work.I cry,my head resting on the door,and I let out a final,loud scream and fall to the floor.
He is gone.He is really gone.Everything we had,vanished forever.Everything I thought would last forever,the one thing I thought was unbreakable,has proven me wrong.
The love of my life is gone.
