Alone

John/Krystal

John P.O.V

I couldn’t believe that Dylan would be taking my spot, if I didn’t find Krystal and soon. He was only a spy, they had planted to get information on her whereabouts and plans. One that I just found out about, I knew that I had to find Krystal first. Besides I bet that Dylan would betray us, from the lies Krystal tells him. Or maybe he won’t from the lies I told him. I let out I frustrated sigh.i couldn’t take it anymore. Krystal was out there telling lies and taking kids from us, how are we supposed to finish the boning and take over the world if we have no money? I start to pass around trying to think of a way to get her here.

I knew that I just had to be first in command, I can’t go down in the ranking anymore, I am already feeling hopeless.

When I remember my dream. I am gonna play a game with her, only this time it will be more than just a game, I’m gonna make her pay for all she’s done to me.

“Okay Krystal, let's play hide and go seek.” I said. “Only this time you will be found and I’ll win.” I muttered.

I can’t let a girl beat me, no I had to beat her no matter what, sister or not, it’s my turn to be the hero. I need to help terror take over.

“I am the champion.” I started. Then stopped why am I signing, oh well, I didn’t really matter, I just needed to be the hero here in terror. I knew Mom and Dad would be disappointed but I didn’t care, I mean they are already being held in cells for trying to get me to betray terror.

I start laughing at the thought of capturing Krystal, and this time there would be no escape.

“I’m coming Krystal, I hope your little friends are prepared.” I laugh. Krystal has no idea what is coming after her.

Getting Krystal will make the others come out of hiding after all they do need food, and they don’t know the streets like she does.

“Ready or not, here I come.” I shout.

Krystal P.O.V

I gasped. A spy for terror. No! I knew I couldn’t trust him. Why didn’t I even think about that. I feel like an i***t.

“I promise it’s not how it sounds.” He adds. But it’s too late, I don’t trust him anymore.

I was mad, how could he betray me like that. When would I be taken? How close were they. I’ve got to get out of here. I think to myself. Questions of the saftey of everyone started coming. I started to move back, but before I could get anywhere he grabbed my wrist I screamed but it was quickly muffled by his hand. I let out an angry sigh. Why is he always putting his hand on my mouth. I’m baking to attempt to bite down when he starts speaking again.

“Krystal. Please listen to me.” He pleaded.

I shook my head violently. I don’t want too listen to any of the lies he has to tell me.

But the pleading sound in his voice makes me sigh and give him my attention. His hand falls to his lap, he gives me a hopeful stare.

“Fine!.” I say. “And don’t even think about lying.” I say this but I won’t really know if he lying.

“Krystal. I want you to know that I didn’t tell them about you or where you were. Besides, I didn’t know you when they said you were our main mission at the moment. They told us you were talking children and killing them. Krystal everything they told us new people have been lies, they made you sound like a horrible person I believed them, but, I thought it would be better to get to know you before telling them about your whereabouts, I promise they don’t know where you are.” He looks sorry. “Do you want to know who’s been making up these lies.”

Without waiting for an answer he tells me.

“John.”

I shook my head. I can’t believe it. He won’t.

“NO!” I scream.

But deep down I know it is true. I am crying again. I can’t believe it. John, how could he. We’re family, I thought he’d be better. Dylan is beside me hugging me. I lean into his embrace.

“I’m sorry.” He says.

By know I am balling. I can’t believe how I am being betrayed by family. I started to slow down the tears and realize that Dylan is still hugging me. I start to realize that I kinda like him a bit.

“Krystal.” Dylan says. “You okay?”

I nodded.

“I mean, I’ve been better, but I guess it sorta makes sense.”

Then a question comes forward.

“If your not turning me in then… won’t they know you’ve betrayed them?” I ask.

He nodds yes, and I sigh, though I’m still weary of him I decide I’ll give him a chance.

“Does this mean they’ll be looking for you?” I ask. A little worried for the safety of everyone.

He nods.

“I’m afraid so.” He responds.

I inhale a sharp breath.

“Do they know where you are?” I ask, afraid to hear the answer.

He looks at me.

“Well, they know where I left them, but they don’t know where I am now,at least not that I know of.”

I sigh. How can I trust someone who worked for terror as a spy. As this though goes through my mind I realize that I gave Kathrine the benifite of the doubt when she joined me. I look up at Dylan and decide he looks sincer so will give him fair chance and trust him.

I realize that I am still leaning into him, his arms wrapped around me. I charring the moment, it’s been years since I’ve been hugged by anyone my age, the on,y people who huh me are the children I look after, and Kathrine doesn’t do the whole hugging thing, she says it reminds her too much of her parents. When Dylan finally breaks the hug I notice his shirt is wet with my tears.

“Sorry about your shirt.” I say.

He shrugs like it’s no big deal. I smile. Dylan smiles back.

“I was getting tired of it anyway, besides now I kinda have an excuse to stay with you, after all I’ll need to dry it out.”

I laugh, he smiles a big smile. At his smile my stomach becomes alive with butterflies. I look out the door and realize it’s getting late, my smile starts to fade, Kathrine is probably going bonkers, I’ve been gone for hours. I stand up abruptly and seem to catch Dylan’s off guard.

“Are you okay Krys..”

I shake my head.

“I’ve got to get back, Kathrine will probably think you kidnaped me.”

He look surprised.

“Right I hadn’t thought of that.”

He gets up and we walk back to base. We run into a very worried Kathrine.

“Oh my goodness, we though he had betrayed you to terror.”

I shake my head.

“I’m fine.” I assure her.

I then walk up to my room and lie face down on it trying to think about all that has happened. I realize that if I want to turn John to my side I’ll have to act now, before it is too late.
