Oh no...

Y/n POV

"You better tell me now if you are with that bastard down there." I heard Tord growled from behind me. I tried to stay calm and keep the situation from escalating worse. "N-no I'm n-not..! W-we are just roommates!" I stuttered as I struggled to get out of his grip before I managed to free myself.

"Here. Let me put him to the test." Tord said. I gasped stopping seeing as two soldiers stood in front of me and walked towards me which made me back up back into Tord. But I made sure I didn't bump into him. I tried stepping away from Tord but he grabbed me again and covered my mouth. He brought me up to the window and pressed a few buttons on the side wall and the window looked more clear. "Look Tom! I have your girlfriend, guess who told me the little secret the two do you had!" He said and I could tell he lied to see how Tom would react.

I struggled more but couldn't do anything because his robotic had was over mouth. I couldn't bite it or else that would hurt more then what he is doing now.

I saw Tom perk up looking up at the window. I heard him roar and get up using his back legs to get up to the window. I saw Tom then claw at the window and actually leave a mark behind. His eye began to turn a purple and a mist began to slowly seep out. I then heard Tord laughing from behind me. "Thank you for confirming! I didn't actually know, but finding out this way is so much better!" Tord said and I felt him reach for something and felt something cold pressed up against my neck. I struggled more and tightly closed my eyes whimpering against his hand.

I heard Tom roar louder and hit that window more. I then heard a thud and I looked to see what it was and Tom was on the floor again but what he did was so quick I couldn't process what I saw. Toms tail then came flogging through that window. Shattering the glass and covering both me and Tord in glass. At least it was the type of glass to shatter in small pieces and not large chunks.

I heard everyone gasp in the room and an alarm immediately went off. I saw Tom climb back up and was just small enough to fit perfect though that large rectangular window.

When the glass shattered both Tord and I fell. Tord was still tightly holding onto me with my mouth covered. I kicked and tried to punch but felt the cold blade that was pressed up against my get closer to skin.

"Oh Tom I'd you kill me now you'll kill this one too! Back away before I actually cut her!" I heard Tord yell. I looked at Tom and him looking at me. I saw him then stop in his tracks but bare his sharp teeth and growled.

"Good... now.. get back into the room.." Tord said. I watched Tom and saw him look at me again. I saw him give me a look... like trying to signal me something. So I too a guess that he would do something that would help me escape. I gave him a look back before he looked at Tord. "I said to back into the room!" He says.

I saw Tom suddenly pounce but on top of Tord to make him let go of me. I gasped as she I crawled out of his arms and got up and carefully brushed off the small pieces of glass.

"Faen!" {fuck} I heard Tord groan out. I looked and saw many soldiers then rush into the room. I saw poppy and she ran to me before taking me and getting me out of the room. I tried to resist as it didn't want Tom to get hurt. "Tom!!!" I yelled out to him.

I saw him and his ear perk up in my direction before I was taken out of the room. "What has gone on in there!?" Poppy asked me. My heart was racing and I was too worried about Tom to even answer.

Suddenly a loud roar and most of the soldiers retreating from the room. I felt poppy grab me and pull me away and down the hallway before that wall crashed down. Tom was getting bigger!

Poppy gasped when seeing Tom and pulled me back more. I tried getting out of her grip to get to Tom. "Tom!!" I yelled once again. Tom turned and looked at me before a red monster that looked like Tom pounced onto him.

"Oh god.." I heard poppy mutter. I realized Tord injected himself with the purple serum I saw earlier. My eyes went wide as the two began to fight. Tom was a lot bigger than Tord and seemed to be growing more. They kept pouncing onto each other and clawing at each other. Breaking more walls and more soldiers went to try and stop this.

"Common y/n we need to go!!" Poppy says to me pulling at me harder. "No! I don't want to leave Tom!" I said beginning to cry. What if Tord kills him! "Y/n no! You'll get hurt! Now is the time I can help you get out of here!" Poppy said. I saw both Tom and tord's heads took at the two of us. Tord leaps out to us before Tom tackled him down again. I gasped seeing this and soon went with poppy.

"I know I was so post to make a plan to get you two out of here, but I came up with something that has a low chance of working," Poppy told me. She brought me around this corner and started to run. I didn't dare to look behind me as there was loud growls, bangs, crashes. It was very bad.

Soon we reached the end of the hallway and made it to Tords office. Poppy pulled me in there and tried to barricade the door. I tried to help find things but Tord crashed through and leaps over to poppy to get to me.

I whimpered and ran up to his desk and tried to hide behind it. Not knowing where Tom was Tord began to go back to normal, but looked pissed. "You are going to obey me now. I got Tom taken care of back there and I'm not afraid to get you taken care of too." He told me. My eyes widened at his words, "did you-" "no I didn't kill him... I still need him.." Tord told me as he walked up to the desk.

I saw poppy running up to Tord from behind but I saw Tord quickly turn around and shot her. I gasped, "poppy!!" I yelled as I ran over to her. I saw her fall to the floor but holding the spot she was shot. "I know you were the one to help Tom last time poppy. It was about time I did something about it. "Now y/n, you can either stay in here, or come with me. But if you stay here you can't go anywhere else. You cannot hide from me, or run from me. I will always know where you are from here on out. Do I make myself clear?" Tord asked me but I didn't respond.

I was too distracted by poppy. Tears flooded my eyes as I was panicking. I take off the army over coat to use and try and prevent her from loosing anymore blood. My heart was pounding out of my chest as so many things now raced through my mind.

"I guess I'll leave you here. There's no point in saving her, traitors don't deserve to serve under me. Especially under the tittle of second command." I heard Tord says before he left.

"Y/n..." poppy whispered. I pulled her over to the desk to sit her up. I kept the overcoat against her wound. "Your going to be ok.. ok? I'm going to help you up and walk you to the medical area, ok?" I told her as I wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "You got this common," I said as I just felt more tears and feeling them spill down my face.

"Y/n... it's ok..." poppy whispered. "No it's not ok! I can't lose you, I just can't! Please, let's get you going!" I cried as I felt her resisting me trying to help her up. "Y/n.. listen to me.. stop for a moment and listen.." she told me. I kept crying but I listened to her. I let go of her arm and looked at her still holding to coat against the wound.

"Find someone named Pau.... he knows my first plan idea to get you out of here.... he'll help you... him and his friend pat..." poppy whispered out. She was panting and short breathed. Watching her grow weak just made me cry more. "Don't you dare leave me... please let me help you, I can't lose you!" I cried to her. I felt her hand go on top of mine and hold it softly.

"Y/n... the medical area is on the other side of the base.. I won't make it in time..." she says to me. I closed my eyes letting my head drop a bit as I continued to cry. "Do me a favor... take this and give it to Pau when you talk to him... tell him that I loved him with all my heart..." poppy told me as I looked back up at her. She reached in her hoodie pocket and gave me two pictures and a ring. "K-keep these safe for me.. ok..?" Poppy asked me as she placed the two pictures and ring into my hand. One of the pictures seemed to be an old family photo and a photo of her and Pau in it. The ring looked as if it was carved by wood.

"The ring... heh... when Pau and I were younger and raised here... he made this ring for me... he made this ring as a promise ring.. he said he wanted to marry me when we got older... little kid love am I right..? make sure you remind him what this ring was..." poppy told me and leans back into the desk letting out a groan. "Poppy please... you have a chance we just have to be quick, I'm not letting you die here!" I told her.

"Y/n... I promise that there wouldn't be enough time... do one more favor... tell Tom, when the both of you get out... tell him that he is very strong... very strong for everything he has gone through... and tell him that I'm sorry for not being there quick enough..." poppy told me. I saw her eyes look more weak.

"Poppy don't be sorry... you didn't everything you could... please... stay in there... don't close your eyes on me... please... please.." I begged. I slowly pull her into a hug. I felt her slowly wrap her arms around me but eventually her arms slowly go back down limp and heard her final breath.

I pulled away slowly and covered my face with my hands crying into them. I cried for who knows how long.

Eventually I stood up. I couldn't look at her. Tears still streamed down my face as her final words went through my head. As I placed the two pictures and ring into my pocket. I wiped away my tears and tried to stop myself from crying anymore.

I walked behind the desk and started to open the drawers. I looked for a weapon as when I leave this room I was going to go find Pau. I've already saw him once so I hope I could find him again.

I began to feel the rage within me. I wasn't going to let this bastard get away with hurting my friend and Tom. He needs to be shown his own medicine.

I soon find a gun and held it. I also found a pocket knife and put that into my pocket before I began to head out of that room.

I will make this guy regret everything he has done. And I'll make sure he regrets it.
